According to several confirmed reports, pro skateboarder Evan Hernandez ws handed down a 97-month sentence after pleading guilty to selling crystal meth. Hernandez also pleaded guilty to stealing Bitcoin and selling it to other drug traffickers.

The DOJ say that Hernandez “distributed narcotics, conspiring with drug dealers to distribute the controlled substances over one of the world’s largest darknet marketplaces” between March 2018 and March 2019. They added the pro skater “was involved in a highly sophisticated drug-trafficking operation, where he personally took on various roles to ensure its success: obtaining multiple types of narcotics, selling them directly to customers, and laundering money on the backend in a sophisticated manner.”

Hernandez also had to give up his 2010 Mercedes-Benz, about $35K in cash, and a bunch of jewelry including watches, necklaces, and rings to authorities.

Reebok Connects With Bronze 56K For New Club C Revenge Skate Collection [Photos]

Reebok is continuing its resurgence as both a sports performance and fashion force, connecting with various designers and brands for fresh updates to its long line of classic kicks. The latest from the Boston-based sports apparel giant is a collaboration with Queens, N.Y. skate brand Bronze 56K with updates to the Club C Revenge shoe.

The Club C is one of Reebok’s lasting classic styles and the flair that Bronze 56K brought to the sneaker proves that this will be another must-have in the company’s sprawling line of innovated staples.  The Club C Revenge, a well-known shoe in the skating world, and to work on another shoe was a no-brainer for Bronze 56K’s co-founder, Peter Sidlauskas.

“We were hyped to make another shoe with Reebok after the success of the first one,”  Sidlauskas said. “You don’t often see Reebok showcased in skateboarding, so it was nice to work with a brand that feels relatively unique to us.”

The Reebok X Bronze 56K FW19 Club C Revenge was co-created with top fashion designer Alex Dymond.  The two colorways offered are an all-white with red, grey, and cobalt blue accents, and an all-black version accented with purple, gold, green and white.

For the technical aspects of the sneaker, each shoe features a full-grain leather upper, a molded sockliner, and a high-abrasion-resistant rubber outsole, which makes sense for the skaters who will be pounding the pavement and their boards in these bad boys.

Both colorways are also touched up with the Bronze 56K logo on the sockliner, tongue, and across the shoelaces, with the word “Bronze” featured across the heel.

Even better, the shoes are available in unisex sizing starting at $120 a pair and will be available to the world this coming Friday, November 1 starting at 12:00PM EST.

Uncle Ralph might have another hit on his hands. The online  feedback on the upcoming Polo x Palace collection has been favorable thus far.

Earlier this week a video look book was released for the collection. Included in the drop were pieces that successfully represented both brand’s identity. The teaser has been well received by fans and re-sellers alike and High Snobiety has compiled some of the best responses.

For starter’s their take on RL’s iconic teddy knitted sweater with a bear doing a kick flip on a skateboard has been called an instant classic.

While the majority of the responses were complimentary not everyone was satisfied with the set. Some Lauren loyalists complained that the collaboration was a step down for America’s fashion brand.

PALACE X POLO RALPH LAUREN BILLBOARD

If Ralph Lauren chooses to partner with your brand consider yourself lucky. It looks like Palace is about to enter that rare space.

While nothing has been formally announced by either company all signs point to yes. Three billboards in Tokyo appeared earlier this week for a very obvious co-branding effort. As per High Snobiety the advertisement’s placements feature a navy blue background with both logos in white. No dates, or any hits for that matter, regarding the timing of a release were included.

Founded in 2011, the skateboard brand has become insanely popular thus gaining mainstream popularity. In 2016 their t-shirts were seen on both Kanye West and his daughter North. 2018 would mark yet another noted collaboration for Palace. Earlier this year they dropped a Oakley capsule and a tennis themed collection with adidas.

You can view the billboards above.
