Rad Collector reports on a new addition to Burton’s Private Stock project, that kicked off last season with Ron English. “Burton has linked up with elusive cult hero R. Crumb for the new Fritz the Cat Twin V Rocker board. Definitely a collector’s piece, the board retails for a mellow $399 so don’t expect it to last long at retail. Speaking of that, you may have to hunt a bit, only 100 retailers along with the flagship stores in NY, LA and the Chi will have these.”

After several early previews and much anticipation, the Forum x The Hundreds Snowboards and Special Blend x The Hundreds outerwear will be releasing this week.

After the recent The Hundreds x Medicom Toy collaboration and works with Gravis and eS, The Hundreds has completed yet another high profile project with two leading brands in their respective markets.

Together with Forum, The Hundreds worked on two snowboards. The uppers come in a rather subtle black, carrying the inconic The Hundreds all-over camo print. The bottoms are more colorful and feature repetitive patterns.

Together with Special Blend, The Hundreds created two sets of outerwear, one coming in a chocolate brown and the other one in a turquoise/yellow/pink combination. Bottom line there is something for everybody in the collaboration.

Both the Forum snowboards and the Special Blend outerwear, will be releasing at The Hundreds LA and SF this coming Thursday, December 4th.

Detailed images follow after the jump.

Burton has worked on another collaboration this winter season. The Alife NYC x Burton is based on the Burton 09 Custom board, but comes with a Sintered Base. The board comes in two sizes – 158cm and 162 cm. The board will not be sold at regular retailers; it will be available at ALIFE flagship and Burton flagship stores globally. It will deliver around Thanksgiving 08 and retail for $619.

As expected from Alife, the snowboard comes with a very clean design, good for today and for years to come. Look out for the release in the near future.

The Carhartt x Burton collaborative collection has certainly been one of the most interesting projects this year. While some product has already been previewed by us, as it has released in Japan, we come closer to the general release in Europe now, and thus we can show you the complete line-up, which also still has some surprises ready for you.

All in all there are three complete outfits, each consisting of jacket and pants in the collection. Furthermore they also made a snowboard. The jackets have that real Carhartt look and feel, while featuring the most up to date Burton technology. We could not think of a better combination. Images via Blacklodges.

Over the years we have seen many interesting projects from snowboard outerwear brand 686. For their Autumn/Winter 2008/09 season they once again present two collaborative projects, this time with Levi’s and Famous Stars And Straps.
Together with Famous Starts And Straps, 686 produced a full winter outerwear collection, consisting of beanies, New Era caps, hoodies, jackets and pants. The most prominent piece in the collection features a visual collage history of Famous.
The collaboration with Levi’s is more out thing, as it is more subtle and perfectly fuses the technological know-how of 686 and the heritage design of Levi’s, using breathable materials as well as Levi’s rivets and stitching details on all pieces. Also several pieces use actual Levi’s denim.
Have a detailed look after the jump at both the 686 x Famous Stars And Straps collection as well as the 686 x Levi’s collection.

Forum Snowboards, Special Blend Outerwear and prestigious streetwear brand The Hundreds have joined forces to create a one-of-a-kind, mid-season release Forum snowboard aptly named “The Hundreds Board” and a co-branded snowboard jacket and pant based off two best selling Blend outerwear pieces. A first time collaboration with any snow brand for The Hundreds, these limited edition pieces will be available this Fall 2008 only in select Forum/Special Blend and The Hundreds dealers, as well as The Hundreds two retail locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Offered in three sizes (148, 152 and 156), this exclusive deck features a black topsheet with The Hundreds signature design UV-coating, and three unique base graphics created by  Bobby Hundreds.

After previously showing you already most product out of the JB Classics x Ride Snowboards collaboration, we give you today another look at the Peddler sneaker. It comes in the same red colorway, that was used on the snowboard as well in this project. Design elements have been embossed and the lack of prints is a welcome decision, keeping the sneakers clean.
Check out pictures of the rest of the gear after the jump and here from the releases event.

JB Classics got together with Ride Snowboards. These days we come across quite a lot of snowboard collaborations, but JB went all the way and did not only work on the board, but also on boots and matching bindings.

Make sure to pass by the Magseven Bread & Butter booth of you want to see the gear live.
After the jump detailed pictures of all pieces in this collaboration.

Once again Burton has something very special waiting for you. Nike re-releases the Air Tech Challenge, a shoe made famous by Andre Agassi, the new Archive Series by Burton fits perfectly into the same category. We like to compare Nike and Burton, because both brands are in their market at the forefront in terms of style and innovation and especially at the mix of the two.
Burton did some digging and found Burton’s original 1988 Racing Gloves, 1989 Safari Sweatshirt, 1990 Freestyle Shell, 1991 Freestyle Pant, 1991 Freestyle Suit and the 1992 Glacier Jacket. Using the DNA from these classic designs, they futurized them with all the latest tech magic and even added some graphic flavor from the 1989 Cruise board graphic. Old school is now new. Dust off your vintage Safari and get buck wild!
After the jump you can check out the rest of the Burton Archive Series.

Now the collection has been released, and it consists of not only the snowboard, but also two jackets and two pants. One outfit comes in purple with large tonal Dunny heads on it and the other one is a crazy collage of many toys. Basically the design of each side of the snowboard is also available as an outfit.
The entire collaboration collection is now available here. After the jump more pictures of the other pieces.

Burton Snowboards and Kidrobot today unveiled their limited-edition collaborative snowboard, the Burton Kidrobot Custom Plus. The inaugural collaboration between the companies has been over a year in the making and involved collaboration among multiple artists and snowboard designers.
Based on the platform of a Burton Custom 158cm snowboard, the Burton Kidrobot Custom Plus began as a blank canvas for Kidrobot founder Paul Budnitz to play with. The result is a whimsical and colorful board with a topsheet graphic that features Kidrobot’s iconic “Kidrobot head” character and a base graphic that depicts a collage of well-known Kidrobot characters including the Dunny, Smorkin Labbit and Icebot. Artists whose characters appear on the board include Paul Budnitz, Frank Kozik, Dalek, Tilt, Sket One and more.
The Burton Kidrobot Custom Plus marks the first time Kidrobot has collaborated on a snowboard. Paul Budnitz had this to say about the organic process with which Burton and Kidrobot joined forces, “Greg Dacyshyn, Burton SVP and Creative Director, and I are fans of each other’s work.  When we met, we totally hit it off. A collaboration was necessary - it wasn’t even a question.”
Likewise, Greg Dacyshyn was equally stoked on the project, “I have always been a toy collector…you’re never too big to play with toys. I really love what Kidrobot does. They have an amazing design sensibility, and it really works well with what we do here at Burton.  I look forward to working on more projects with them in the future.”
The Burton Kidrobot Custom Plus is being produced in super limited quantities and will be available at Burton and Kidrobot flagship stores and at very select snowboard retailers. Please stay tuned for additional Burton and Kidrobot limited edition product in the very near future.
After the jump a closer look at the board.

A little while ago we presented you the Andrei Molodkin x Burton t-shirts, that as usual featured the iconic skull of the artist in his very own iconic style. Burton took the collaboration further this season and also slapped the design onto a snowboard. Here you see the original colorway, but the board also comes in several other colors, including green and brown. If you want a hot board this season, this is certainly one of the nicest out there.
