NEFF x Karmaloop

2009-08-21T11:28:00.005+10:00

What started as just another hustle in 2002, purchasing blank beanies, hats and headbands before marking each with hand-painted logos, Shaun Neff’s fledgling headwear brand found notoriety soon after after linking up with pro snowboarder Nate Bozung on the fresh glades of Utah’s picturesque slopes.

Realizing a very particular niche could be satisfied after getting props from the likes of Travis Rice, Likka Backstrom, Lauire Heiskari and skateboarders Lizard King and Adam Dyet, NEFF was born as the first authentic, market-specific headwear company for snow and skate and has since gone global with it’s aspirations.

Based in Ventura, California and supported today by some of the biggest names in snowboarding and skateboarding, not to mention key personalities in music, arts and general badassery, NEFF is now making moves into streetwear with tees, jackets, hoodies and accessories – so far, so dope.

It all starts and ends with headwear at NEFF, and the drop at Karmaloop has all of the flavors you crave, from monochromed-out grayscales to uber-bright purples, blues, greens and reds (or a potent mixture of ‘em all at once) in beanies, snap-back hats and, for the bravest of all, a gold fedora. We’re particularly geeked on The Aoki Beanie in gray (above left), black and purple, featuring perfect distress points – perfect, as in, we didn’t have to take the scissors to it or ask a grimy friend to break it in for us.

Conquering the realm of headwear, NEFF made the natural move to keep the remaining extremities warm and recently introduced The Slick Jacket and The Lumberjack Hoodie. A polyester shell coupled with a nylon lining equals totally waterproof, and aesthically, The Slick Jacket (above left) is as fresh as 10″ of powder at the top of the mountain. With the zip-away hood and so many stash pockets that even your dope dealer won’t know what to do with ‘em, as well as the elastic waist and cuff support, this joint’s a keeper until the really heavy cold hits…

… but by then, we hope, you will have already copped The Lumberjack Hoodie (above right). Thicker’n Biggie with the same plaid pattern he loved so dearly, the flannel frame keeps the heat in with a polyester lining keeping the wet out. Ideal for those cold nights on the streets slangin’- uh, we mean, cold nights on the slopes, loungin’ after a day filled with perfect runs and limited bails.

WATER BRAIN (Beautiful animation, a must watch!)

2009-07-02T19:37:00.004+10:00

Water Brain Complete Edition（16：9） from Johann.Poo on Vimeo.

This is a story about mental pressure. In this story, the kids are constantly forced to bury themselves into their endless homework by those giant monsters behind them.The children's brains are filled with water that can be heated by tension. If a kid is overstressed,the water in their brain would boil and produce steam,which becomes the food of the greedy monsters and the energy of the whole city. Thus,those poor children repeat their lives day after day, serving as the power plant of their world, spending their childhood in tragic misery......

SWIFTY {UK} PRESENTED BY PROJECT MIDAS: [5th MARCH 2009]
THE SWIFTY SHOW 2009

One of the true British graphic originators of our time, Swifty has been hugely influential in music and youth culture since he started out in the late 1980’s. Fresh from art school he landed a job at legendary THE FACE magazine. Over the past fifteen years he has worked for ARENA, been the art director of Straight No Chaser magazine and founded the company Swifty Typographix.

Between 1990’s, his output reached a whole new level producing a diverse volume of distinctive record sleeves for seminal record labels such as Mo’ Wax, Talkin’ Loud and Source 360 including the labels iconic brand logos.

Since then, he has ventured into the realm of art which merges his now-iconic graphic styles with mixed media executions. For the first time ever, he will be exhibiting his work outside the UK in Melbourne, Australia (5th - 15th March 2009)

As an additional special touch to his shows, Swifty will interpret the graphics of local iconic brands in limited edition prints which can be purchase exclusively at the shows. This is definitely an event for all lovers of old and new school alike!
