When Manual for Speed does something, they go above and beyond. Now, above what or beyond where is open to interpretation, but one thing’s for sure: these cats are wild. Wild, but chill.. and that’s exactly what Kasual Klub is all about. Chilling. Well, that and this:

“What is Kasual Klub? It’s a Vibe, a Crü, and a Collection of Clothes For Sale. And a Klub, obvs. There are only two ways to get in the Klub: 1) Turn yourself into an exceptionally gifted World Class Human Athlete (or equivalent), or 2) buy a Kasual Klub clothing item now available for sale in our “store”. That’s it; one way is really fucking hard, and pretty much impossible, the other way means you just have to buy a cotton t-shirt or some insane technical socks.”

See some more Kasual Klub flicks below and check the lineup at Manual for Speed.

Tenspeed Hero’s 2015 lineup is starting off with a classy ensamble dubbed the Regatta jersey and socks, inspired by, you guessed it, regatta boat races. Available for men and women, in stock now at Tenspeed Hero.

Just in time for Nationals, the Athletic dropped their collaboration with the Richard Sachs Cyclocross Team. Available in four colors, designed after each of the team’s bikes and in stock now at the Athletic.

Los Angeles’ Golden Saddle Cyclery always kills it in the product department. They’ve just re-stocked some classics and brought in some new products. The Sean Talkington-designed DeFeet socks and Geoff McFetridge-designed shirt are my favorite and if you’re lacking on stem caps, they’ve got the full color spectrum to match your Paul or Chris King products.

Head over to Golden Saddle Cyclery to see what’s currently available.

Garrett from Strawfoot just dropped these on me:

“Just in time for our annual Cold Cuts sale, we designed a sock for the Fresh Air-Hunter cyclocross team that expresses the our passion for ‘80s arcade games, pizza parties and racing bikes in the dirt. From Friday through Sunday (11/28-11/30), get 25% everything in our online shop when you use the promo code: COLDCUTS.”

So good! Swoop at Strawfoot!

Some of my favorite socks come from Strawfoot and Garrett just restocked all his Summer Socks and Neapolitan woolies over at the Strawfoot Web Shop.

If you’re a fan of the Shining, you recognize this pattern off the bat. Portland’s the Athletic pays homage to the man himself, Stanley Kubrick, with some of horror’s most memorable carpet.

Pick up a pair of Redrum socks at the Athletic.

Jeremy and Julie from the Athletic have been working on a storefront over the past few weeks and it’s finally ready to open. This weekend is the official grand opening party for Portland’s The Athletic, so if you’re around, don’t miss out!

Sometimes, the simplest designs are the ones that become favorites. You don’t even have to explain the inspiration for the new Elevation wool socks from the Athletic. We get it. Available in Plum and Royal.

The Athletic are doing their own kind of cancer awareness in October. They’ve done a pair of socks with Cait, which you can pick up at the Athletic and read up on the story here:

“Our friend Cait — you may know her under the moniker @attnkatdaley — had a knock down drag out fight with cancer a little while back. One of the things that she used to help guide her through the dark days was the moniker “You Got This” which she had tattooed on her body as a reminder. Read the story behind it here » What “You Got This” Means To Me.

Her friend (our illustration hero) Chris Piascik did the lettering, which he always does well. ”

Miss ya Cait!

Mmmmm ice cream sandwiches. These new Strawfoot Neapolitan socks will keep you cool in the remaining hot summer days. Order a scoop of Neapolitan at Strawfoot! Made in the USA by DeFeet.

Steal your Shop patches, Steal your Socks and Big-O bottles are now in stock at Golden Saddle Cyclery. Like everything this shop sells, they won’t be in stock long.

Summer weight wool is pretty much the best thing you can put on your feet during the hot months. They dry super fast, are durable and you can wear them multiple days without having to wash due to excessive stank…

These Strawfoot socks are all that and they look great. Highly recommended.

So… I scheduled that Rizzle video for today, thinking it was for yesterday (I’m still in OZ, where we’re about 17 hours ahead of you in the States) and I forgot to mention all the other Team Dream products in stock… Personally, I like the FFF kits, but there’s also CMYK socks, new SWRVE collaboration shorts – these rule – and other products.

See some more photos below and the full scoop at Team Dream!

The Color Dipped Collection continues at Specialized, with a bright, neon blue treatment. Last month’s Chartreuse came and went, leaving this blue and what appears to be a neon red for June and July.

See June’s offerings below and head to your local Specialized store for ordering.

Everyone’s got their favorite pair of socks. It just so happens that my favorite pair came from Strawfoot, over a year ago. I’ve worn them everywhere. For the summer months, Strawfoot got a fresh stock of three new designs, made from DeFeet’s Wooleater model.

Here’s the latest from Cinelli in their artist series:

“In her second collaboration with Cinelli, Jersey City based illustrator Ana Benaroya came up with 2 new sock designs taking inspiration from the iconic winged ‘C’. The ‘Snake’ and ‘Star’ collection features Ana’s truly distinctive style mixing lively colors and shapes on high performance socks Made in Italy.

As well as her design collaborations with Cinelli, Ana has also contributed artwork designs for New York’s Lincoln Center, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Ralph Lauren, and Simon and Shuster.”

To keep your summer bright for the next three months, Specialized will be offering a “Color Dipped Collection“, featuring three products, all washed with the same color. The first month being chartreuse and I’m guessing a blue and a bright red or orange will follow.

See the full offering below and head to your local Specialized shop to order this limited edition set.
