3Sixteen has teamed up with Sabrevision on a new pair of sunglasses. The glasses, ‘Sunday’ feature smoked grad lenses, marbled acetate frames and the 3Sixteen logo scripted engraved on the left. They will come in a custom dust bag, and will be available in 3 colours…

Its about a year and a half ago that Vans retroed the classic Sk8-Hi Hosoi. As some of you will know, Christian Hosoi was a legendary skateboarder back in the days that got into drugs and finally got busted for trafficking with intent to distribute. In jail he found Jesus and now he runs his own brand: Hosoi Skateboards whos team include fellow Christian and former Nike SB rider Richard Mulder. If you want to know more about Hosoi check out Rising Son, a documentary about his life. Vans honors Hosoi with a second version of his Sk8-Hi with a slightly different interpertation of the famous Rising Sun graphic. Release is expected in Spring 2008, and we can’t wait to get our hands on em. The Rising Sun, beating the prison rap yeah - Christian Hosoi is what RISE is all about. 

Expect to see some of the limited edition shoes in our shop in the coming months.

Enjoy.

People say that some friends are forever

Maybe that’s true, but…wateva treva

We certainly know that some things must pass

Like RISE+ which could be gone in a flash

RISE+ will leave but we won’t be sad

Because cheap RISE deals for all could have been had

So snap yours up while it’s most definitely still here

And don’t be one of those who’s left on the pier…

Many of you will have seen some of the new designs in the up and coming collections for RISE Act such as $edu¢tion, and VOX, which will be hitting the shelves pretty soon…but first we need to clear out some old product in order to make room for the new stuff…

So Ladies and Gentlemen…I proudly present to you

RISE+

You can pick up huge discounts on the RISE clothing which you know and love. The packages are bundled together into ‘Size’ packages. So you look for your size, pick a pack and buy to save huge discounts on the normal retail price…

Sale will run until the stock is gone and all the packages have been bought…

Thanks again

So we have finished the website, and powered through the teething problems we were having with the RSS feed, and it is now fully operational and working extremely well…but what is RSS I hear you cry…

Well…RSS is short for Rich Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication. RSS is an XML-based language which basically shows information from the web in a form that can be subscribed to in special news reader applications (or aggregators). RSS allows your news reader program to bring websites with news feeds coming out from them, directly to your computer automatically.

So what does that mean for you, our RISE fans? It means that you can download a free RSS reader application and add the feed address for RISE, and then every time we blog, it will automatically be updated in your reader.

You will be notified through the blog about everything important going on at RISE…festival news…new stock details…up and coming collections…new deals…special RISE info…and generally RISE family stuff.So get an aggregator, get hooked up…and save yourself the hassle of having to remember to check back on RISE every few days….and be prepared so you don’t miss out on that tee that you were waiting to buy, but missed out on because it sold out before you remembered to see whether it was in stock…

For Mac users, we would reccomend NewsFire which is a free app that is TOP. Google it and download it…PC users, just google RSS feed aggregator for PC….or something like that and go for it.


Last but not least…the details of our feed:

Been working up a storm at the RISE hq this last week. We’ve been rebranding and getting our act together for quite some time now, and I am very pleased to announce that for now, we are done! ( …well- at least with the online presence). Its 11pm on a Friday, and like any streetwear fashionista/brand owner will tell you, its still work time. They say to make hay while the sun shines… well, fortunately, we at RISE have developed the ability to make hay in the night time as well. 
Enough about hay though. 


We are in full swing for 2008 and have a lot of interesting developments underway. We are raring to go and get RISE all over the streetwear scene in the UK - where it should be firmly established. 2008 is the beginning of Year 3 for RISE and we are getting ready for the big push to hit mainstream shops and distribution. Get in touch if you want to know more, of if you can contribute to the growth of RISE.


Until later, thanks for supporting us, and buying RISE - spread the word!

This is a very welcome sight from my very worn office chair - a finished website. 

Nike together with designer Pierre Haulot have created the ‘Nike Virtual Spray’, which is a glow-in-the-dark spray that enables you to play football in the dark. You just need to spray the paint to create goals, court outlines, boundaries, and a glowing ball and then you are ready to play. The paint will disappear after two hours…

pretty sweet ay…

Over in the States, the drink company Mountain Dew Green Label did a series of designer cans, and with the success of them, their parent company Pepsi decided to do a similar artist project called Artco Pepsi. Instead of introducing a new can similar to the Green Label project, the Artco Pepsi series featured work on conventional cans. The list of artists featured ranged from around the world spanning the Americas, Asia and Europe…

Check them out below….

Everyone who is anyone needs to go and check these guys out…

They are unsigned, they have 68 friends on myspace, and only a handful of profile views…but check them out and see what you think on Youtube

They are ripping it up in Canada in a huge way, and I would say keep watching what these guys are doing very closely…

So…one more time…ladies and gentlemen…
