It's hard to grasp how in the world it's possible to design a pair of shoes just for yourself. At Nike ID they go far, real far. From the shoe you can pick from, the sole you prefer to the colour of the stitching, tongue, laces etc. It's a fun program to play with, and if you've got a couple of minutes, go check how your favourite shoe would look like. You can even add your own ID on the heel. Press pay and they'll send them to your home too. You don't even have to leave your couch!

When we grew up, we didn't have any of this high tech stuff. Longjohns and jeans is what got us through the snow with a windbreaker over a trainings jacket on top.

It has all the bells and whistles that the windbreaker didn't have.

* Part of the Fox FX tech outerwear series. this jacket is built for withstanding the winter elements with cutting edge style.
* 50% Seam Sealed
* 10.000 mm waterproof rating.

Many of you might know that Mike Tag has been sick this year, and in and out of hospitals. Rob Paik and Mike Ardelean at Quintin Hats hit us up a while back about getting behind Mike Tag, and trying to help, by offering to design and produce a hat with FBM, with proceeds going to Mike’s cause! Mike is still battling Lymphoma, with the grit of a hardened warrior, and we want to show him we love him, and we believe in his ability to overcome one of life’s biggest challenges.
