—- NIXON —–
August 14, 2009 – 7:52 am | Comments Off | submitted by jarod

Plain and simple….

NIXON

Nixon, the brand, established in 97 surprisingly has grown over the years from an action sports watch company to a LARGE action sports watch, lifestyle brand including accessories, apparel and now even headphones, seems like there’s no stopping them….

I’ve known Co-Founder of Nixon, “Big Bro” Chad Dinenna for years (can’t recall how far back exactly) as I was intro’ed to Chad via an old car homie and pro skateboarder Caine Gayle, we’ve kept in contact over the years peppering in some “what’s up’s” and “howzits”, far less than one would like but when I see Chad it’s always solid to see him…

Chad laced not only me but my wife with some Nixon products that I’m sure you and you’re lady in your life will like, GET SOME!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Chad, Keep In Touch Big Bro….

The 51-40 Chrono with leather strap…. so large and proper!
This in all BLACK METAL STRAP is on point!

Nixon in ear buds called Wire 10mm $60 Retail give em a whirl!

Ladies good after the jump….

August 13, 2009 – 9:06 am | Comments Off | submitted by jarod

In the mail the other day I received a tube with an address I didn’t recognize.
As I opened it I was excited to see a signed and numbered, by designer of Mantide Jason Castriota , poster showing the initial renderings of Mantide aka Project M….

Jay Leno purchased the car for 2 Million dollars, read more here….

If you haven’t been following it CLICK HERE FOR MORE PROJECT M….

or watch these 2 videos as it tears up Goodwood and raises some eyebrows….
I love the designer Jason’s comment at the end of the 1st video “living the dream of a 10 year old boy”…
