New Loteks? According to the Lotek blog, you are looking at a new all synthetic version of the Delta’s with a improved sole.

“Here’s a shot of one of the Deltas coming out later this month. It’s all synthetic with a mix of synthetic Nubuck and synthetic action leather. The tread on all the new shoes is gum and as an added bonus is made from a rubber compound twice as durable as last seasons so they should last twice as long. Wa Gwan.”

Dans Comp is giving you a chance to win a copy of the new Freestylin’ book (which is awesome btw).

h(y)r is an online mag that I’ve been pretty psyched on lately. They cover general culture type stuff with a focus on fashion and just released their August issue. In the new issue there’s a nice preview of one of my favorite shoe brands right now, Common Projects, a look into the filming process for the fixed gear film Macaframa, and an interesting interview about blogging with Hypebeast’s Eugene Kan.. They also have some great stuff in their “columns” section they have some great posts on their blog.

Wethepoeple recently put up photos and spec for their entire 2009 complete bike line and like previous years, they are DOPE! The quality and style of complete bikes these days is getting so good and it’s great to see the bar being raised. The more kids getting into BMX that can ride great bikes for a good price the better. Just being able to have a bike for a few hundred dollars ride and look just like a bike the pros ride is amazing and I really think it will get more kids into BMX and keep them on a BMX.

Check out some of my favorite WTP bike after the jump and click here to see the whole line. You can also check their 2009 complete catalog in magazine mode here.

Surfstation could possibly be the first design link/blog site I ever came across. I got wrapped into the whole internet design thing through a Obey ad in Mass Appeal. I won’t go into the whole story, but basically through the ad in the mag I started to check the Obey website and they had a serious pile of links that basically got me into graphic design and got me on the path to where I am right now. There was obviously a lot more factors, but I definitely got a lot of exposure to great design through Surfstation, learned about being more than a photoshop collager, downloaded some of my first fonts, and wasted countless hours infront of the screen.  That was around 2001 and up until a few days ago, the site has never changed. I’m super psyched on the new version and am excited to see were the site will go.

Check out the new version of Surfstation here and if you have some time to waste, dig though their archive version… So much good content.

Made in Queens is a film about these kids in Queens, NY who build these crazy speaker systems on their bikes. This whole thing seems pretty crazy to me and one of the most interesting parts is how shitty their bikes are… I guess it’s not about the bike, it’s about the boom… haha. None the less, the film looks very interesting and there are some great photos and info about the crew on the website.

“Last summer in a rented garage on the outskirts of Queens, NY something incredible was happening. A group of imaginative tinkerers from Trinidad were working late into the nights creating something nobody had ever seen before: enormous stereo systems jury rigged onto ordinary bmx bikes. Traveling together, each behind the handlebars of his or her own massive homemade creation, they treat the neighborhood to an outrageous impromptu music and dance party on wheels. Directed by Randall Stevens, Made In Queens is a film celebrating America’s first stereobike crew.”
