Crooks & Castles has worked with SE Racing on this dope looking PK Ripper. We have seen a handful of collaborations with SE in the past, but this one in particular is one of the cooler ones in terms of appearance and details. The frame boasts a camo print, and is set off nicely with the orange colored logo, white tires, and matching seat. The bike is currently available at Crooks’ Sunset store and their online shop.

Take a closer look of the bike in action after the jump.

Crooks & Castles has released their new Holiday 2010 footwear collection this week. Among existing styles the brand also introduces three new silhouettes. Overall the various styles have classic inspiration and are quite simple. While they are not being very innovative with their footwear, the silhouettes, colors and materials have all been well chosen and result in a solid offering.

“This holiday season, Crooks & Castles introduces three new models: the Backstab, the Ruffian and the Anchor. The Backstab, shown above, owns a subtle, stylish design in high-top form. The all-red Backstab possesses a canvas-textured base, while the black and light grey version are constructed in nubuck. All three are finished with a traditional, white sole and Crooks & Castles tongue branding. As for the newly-designed Anchor, it owns a boat shoe-like construction and will come in two canvas formations (Black, Red) and two nubuck textured (Chocolate, Khaki). The Ruffian owns more of a hiking boot appeal and the Apache has been dressed in a few, new colorways.”

The new shoes are now available from Crooks & Castles flagship stores and select retailers.

Take a look at the shoes after the jump.
