8th Gen: Walking in two worlds



A good friend of mine turned me on to these last night. Thanks Matt Lord! All of us as cyclist's are alway looking out for ways to customize our bikes, clothes, hats, helmets, and bags. So we can stand out or have a topic of conversation when we run into each other. These shoes are no different. One off designs from 8th Gen. The solo designer of these shoes is Louie Gong. I really love the work on these. It speaks to the Alaskan in me, and reminds me of a lot of Artist friends from AK and the NW. Plus they're put on Vans, (which are a staple in a Cyclist's life) Now some of might say the price point is a bit high, but you get a one off design, never to be used again on another shoe, and really most high-end sneakers coming out these days start at around $150 on up. I don't think I would ride in these, but bring these custom heaters out after a race or to an event.

Deets on ordering here...

FREE KUTMAH




Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with
his mother when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for residency to keep them from being sent to
Egypt. As a British citizen the court ruled that he would be able to live in the UK which in their eyes
wasn't such a bad place. They denied their application.

Kutmah and his Mom returned to court to plead their case 14 years ago when Kutmah was 20. They were again
denied a green card and were urged to sign a document stating they would voluntary leave the US.

On Wednesday morning, May 5th armed agents entered Kutmah's house and detained him. He was brought to a
facility in downtown LA where he was interrogated. On Thursday he was moved to New Mexico. We need to show
how important Kutmah is to the LA and US community. Please write a letter and spread the word!
