May 16th, 2012We couldn’t be happier to present a Dust Bunny direct from skateboard legend Natas Kaupas. I once asked him about his rarest graphic ever. He responded, “That’s easy, it’s on my wall at home. Only a handful of artist proofs were made.”
So, if you ever wondered about the rarest Natas skateboard graphic, now you know. Thanks for taking this photo and sending it over, Mr. Kaupas.
April 14th, 2012Guess who made it onto Rapha Survey?
The discontinued orange Rapha Wind Jacket compliments the Summertime 84 jersey nicely. Remember, only a week left to pre-order yours from Gage + DeSoto!
No Comments April 9th, 2012In case you missed the Dead Flowers and Gage + DeSoto T-Shirt pairing the first time, they’ve printed more. This edition is on heather gold.
Available exclusively at Ground Support as part of an exhibit with 9W Magazine.
April 3rd, 2012Taken directly from Gage + DeSoto (because I wrote it):
This year, we had an elaborate April Fool’s story prepared about finding a barn in France full of NOS jerseys from a defunct cycling team. It was meant for our blog and we even mocked up a design to go with the post. It was going to remain just that – a prank, until we thought it would be even more fun to make a few samples of the jersey.
We immediately realized we needed to make this. It’s nothing less than ode to summertime in the 80′s, and to our childhoods. We think the design speaks for itself (and we’re worried that including the text of the “sponsors” would somehow find a way to our desk).
So, we’ll be taking pre-orders for the jersey for the next few weeks. The jersey is produced by Sommerville Sports at a factory that might be responsible for a jersey you already own. This particular model uses a recycled Eco Green fabric, so you can feel good about reducing your carbon footprint.Extremely limited to pre-orders only, so don’t wait around on this one!

No Comments March 13th, 2012So, I’ve seen the Oakley Radar Polished White/Oakley Text, but the text has always been black.
Enter these rarer than rare gems:
Direct from a great friend at Oakley and customized over the phone, these are without a doubt one-of-a-kind.
A great addition to my Oakley collection and sure to prove essential during the upcoming racing season with W.S. United.
February 19th, 2012My lovely wife surprised me at Valentine’s Day dinner with my first adult pair of Nike Air Jordans. I had a pair of original Jordan hi-tops in grade school, but when high school hit and the original 3′s came out, it was a different story. I was busy buying skate shoes and always wanted another pair of Jordans, but knew that I would ruin them skating.
Now the prices have gotten way out of hand, or you need to stand on line for a pair. As an adult, I’ve often considered purchasing a pair, but haven’t for one reason or another. I’d always looked to the Spizike as the all encompassing Jordan, pulling the best features from the early pairs. So, when I expressed interest in a new release we spied in Foot Locker, Edie wasted no time.
Unfortunately (and fortunately, may the truth be told), she gave them to me without a box. In fact, if I don’t wear them outdoors within a week, Edie has threatened to return them (she did keep the box at her office). I’ll be sure to only rock them on the most perfect of days, however, to keep them crispy.
February 18th, 2012Issue 10 of Peloton Magazine is on newsstands now and features a two page spread on Gage + DeSoto.
The total piece is four pages, as we are joined by Ifixbyx. All written and shot by our good friend Chris Henry. Maybe that’s why I managed to make it into photos in both articles.
Swing by your local newsstand to grab a copy. With a great photo of a younger Greg Lemond on the cover, you can’t miss it.
January 18th, 2012Like the Air Max 90 Infrared, I missed this pair of Wildwoods the first time around. I had just purchased a pair of ACG Wildpegs with some hi-viz flair and Spriggs scooped these. Luckily, I found a pair on eBay a few weeks back. Here they are!
January 4th, 2012The DJ Clever Cycling Kit has arrived! There are a very limited number (jersey and short) for sale on Gage + DeSoto for $175. Act now if you want one.
October 19th, 2011Behold a pair of all pink Oakley Razorblades that I created out of two different glasses. Even the nosepiece matches. Classy.
