For those wanting a substantial dive watch in the past on a decent budget, they didn’t have to look much further than the Casio G-Shock Frogman.

A release is set for April of this year.
In4mation get into the act of sustainable living with their eco-minded “Go Green Hawaii” pack. Comprised of hats and T-shirts, either purchase will come complete with a 100% hemp tote bag.

Further releases from the Vans Vault Spring 2011 collection have surfaced, including this set dubbed the “Heavy Metal” pack. The pack consists of three Old Skool models, each featuring panels dressed in suede and in canvas, decorated in a single, block color. Finished with a traditional thick white sole, the side panel branding is accented to starkly contrast the color of the remainder of the sneaker. All three models are set to drop during June across Vans Vault retailers.
British footwear label Pointer has now released its Pluckrose shoe. The water resistant waxed canvas shoes have been created in a sophisticated brick and white colorway.

Neatly finished with a lightweight sole, spare laces are also included with each pair of the handmad-in-Portugal shoes. The Pointer Pluckrose is now available from Urban Industry.
Nike SB drops a new colorway of its highly successful Zoom Stefan Janoski for Spring 2011.

Look for these now through participating Nike SB retailers, including Primitive. Retail is set at $69.99 USD.
