Star Wars New Era Caps


We post A LOT of hats here on Freshtoid and at first I was a little apprehensive about sharing this one, but I think you would agree that you have never seen anything quite like it. Everyone has that friend who is Star Wars fanatic (for Freshtoid it is our animation correspondent...go figure...) and normally that person is sort of a nerd and not exactly the most fashionable (not Freshtoid's friend of course, everyone else). Well now thanks to New Era they can be looking Fresh and still represent their favorite movie series. But just like Luke Skywalker's hand, these hats won't be around forever, so click here and get your before Darth Maul gets his hands on them. May the force be with you.

Ken Block STI Trax


If you have not seen DC Shoes co-founder tearing it up in his Subaru WRX STI yet, first watch this video here.

This WRX STI is undoubtedly one of a kind and Ken Block drives the only way he knows how: fast and hard with some tight turns. The video above is just a preview, so stay tuned for more from the TRAX STI over the next few months

World Cup 2018 or 2022 in Oakland


The World Cup comes around every four years and is way more bad ass than the Olympics, primarily because of how absolutely insane soccer fans can be. The 2010 World Cup will be in South Africa and 2014 will be in Brazil, but 2018? What about 2022? Those are yet to be decided. With your help though we can bring one of those World Cups to the US of A, specifically Oakland. Why Oakland you ask? Well, with all those rabid soccer fans running around, which city's citizens would you rather have keeping the fans in check? Oakland also features the Coliseum, as bad ass as any venue for watching a soccer game and is right in the middle of the bay area with San Francisco, San Jose and other East Bay cities in the near vicinity. Sign the petition here and get ready for a wild summer in 2018 (or 2022) [hopefully].
