Shoe-bike from Travis Pastrana and DC Shoes

DC Shoes commissioned a custom motorbike to be built that used a series of shoes in place of standard dirt bike tires. It took six months to build, but it looks like DC Shoes actually got their wish, and they asked Travis Pastrana to test it out on a dirt track.
Watch the video below to see Travis do a couple of tricks with the shoe-bike and also destroy it by burning the rubber on the back tire. Nice!

Review: Chrome Kursk sneakers
September 18, 2009 @ 10:41 pm
Just received a pair of Chrome Kursk shoes in the mail today and I am very well pleased with the result from Chrome’s most recent new product development (which I posted about previously).
The Chrome Kursk shoes are made from the same high-quality and durable canvas that just about every Chrome bag is made from and you get the feeling right away that these sneakers are well equipped to take on the roughness of a place like New York City. And because each shoe is made specifically with bicycle riders in mind, there are some features like the reflective patch on the heel and the tough rubber toe that should make bike riding more enjoyable and safe. The wonderful thing about these shoes is that they are incredibly rugged without adding much bulk (which is often quite annoying when you’re switching shoes regularly and having to adjust toe clips to a different shoe shape/width/or height. The Kursk shoes should fit just nicely into your toe clips.
In addition, I think it was a very nice design choice for Chrome to go with metal aglets at the end of the shoelaces. They add a small but important aesthetic feature that speaks of the level of detail put into each shoe. For $70, the Kursk is a comfy deal — both for your wallet and for your feet.
No complaints here so this product gets the Doobybrain.com seal of approval. Check out some images of the shoe below.

I want a pair of Supra Cruizers in black and purple.
Chrome shoes now available
August 24, 2009 @ 1:23 pm
Fall is creeping up quickly and that means that those Chrome sneakers I posted about previously are now available at the Chrome online store. They range from $70-$90 and come in low, mid, ad hi-top varieties. I wish I could try these on before buying since I have no idea how they actually fit (as all shoes are a bit different).
Deal of the Day!
