Did you surf this weekend? damn it was fun. Anyhow, Leanne Milliken from ASR sent an email a little bit back saying that Simple Shoes had a few things going on. They had a couple categories that will be launched at ASR in a few weeks.

Their PR guru Danielle Diblasio sent some shoes for us to check out. I haven’t heard about Simple Shoes in a while but I remember a nice dude named Eric Myers in the early nineties at ASR pushing some shoes that at the time seemed to do well. He was a rad guy and had a business card that was made of wood. I tripped out and never forgot that. Not sure what he’s up to but his baby lives on.

Anyhow the shoes came in and I am very particular with my shoes but had a good look and the next day did the trestles trail with them.. Not bad.. I researched these guys a bit and was pumped on the environmental efforts they were working on. 100% sustainable with a bit of hipsteeze.

Anyhow nice job Simple. You made me also use your 100% sustainable box for my receipts from 08.. loved it. I wouldn’t dare throw that thing away..

Most other shoes take up to 1000 years to disappear from landfills where a pair of these BIO-D’s will vanish and turn to dirt in about 20.

They will also show their bio degradable flip flops at the ASR show as well. Make an appointment to see them at booth # 1705 at ASR. While you’re there take a look at their bags. I have see them in a couple spots and really liked them. check out Simpleshoes.com.

Anyhow we’ll see you in Vegas at the shows. Good Luck and talk soon.  Get ready for ASR and CLASS at ASR. We’re excited for you to see what we’ve worked on for Septembers show.

One last thing. I am sorry for the loss of Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein. I had the pleasure of working with him a few times in the past at a few events. It is a horrible loss. Regards to his family and close ones.

Thank You,

Check out Simple’s new boot.. Carry On.

Here’s a little pick of one pair sent over from Simple. If you take a close look you will notice the tire tread on the sole.

This is the pair that took the Lowers trip. Comfy. I will kick a terrorist in the nuts with these..

This is Tom Kabash from Pleasure Ground Eyewear. I ran into him at CLASS Santa Monica and he was flossing a pair of Simple Shoes. You’ll find Tom and Pleasure Ground Eyewear at CLASS at ASR in booth # CL633

RANDOM Pic - Nielsen gave ASR and CLASS at ASR the chance to fly in key retailers and distributors. I have talked to some of the distributors that I have worked with in the past. most of them are coming to the show in Sept. This is one of them.. His name is Matt Law. He owns a distribution company in the UK called Jett 26. He is on point. Well most of the time. This evening he was beat up by stickers.. See you in SD Matt. Fly safe..
