EVA Shoes from Puma & Native

Seems like these have been popping up lately. I know, I know, the association with “that one shoe” is pretty damning, but hey, if you can post those Gramicci shorts, well then….
Would I wear these? Dunno. I worry in the heat they might feel like I’ve got galoshes on despite all the air holes. If I was gonna pick one, it’d be that last, the MIller by Native in gray. I might just end up never taking them off.

We’ll be headed up to Gray Reef in a couple weeks (if the insane water levels subside) and might just have to stop by the world headquarters of Cliff Outdoors. Hands down the best fly boxes on the market born and bred in Casper, WY.

The Original Green Toys

Picked up the toolset for the nephew. Recycled, USA made, and actually good looking stuff.

From the Green Toys site:
All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It’s cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local store?

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren’t shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won’t get seasick before they get to your home!

Whoever art directed this shoot seriously nailed it. Looks like it could be pulled straight from the latest issue of Wallpaper. Oh, the bikes aren’t bad either . . . via Re-cycle.

I love how simple and gritty these are, not trying to be cute or have some clever reference. Just plain good design. Via Flickr and for sale here.
