Three Stylish Gadgets to Customize Your Sports Equipment

February 6, 2018

Whether you compete in sport as an individual or as a member of team, it’s important to be able to express your sense of individuality whenever you can. The benefits of this go far beyond simply looking a little different – customizing your equipment lets you choose the components that best suit your style of play, allowing you to reach peak performance with ease.

New technology such as 3D printing means such customization is now more widely available and more stylish than ever, allowing you to combine looking good with reaching your personal best for the ultimate in sporting success.

Custom clothing

Olympic champions rarely buy their gear off the shelf – instead, they have it custom made. There was a time when such luxuries were only available to the sporting elite, but the falling cost of 3D scanning and modelling technology mean that it is now possible for ordinary consumers to purchase shoes, clothes and other items that fit them like a second skin.

Major sports brands such as Under Armour, Nike and Adidas are all getting in on the trend and give their customers the chance to alter the design of shoes to create unique editions of their favorites. The company is also proving consumers with the chance to include even more advanced gadgets in their products, such as running shoes with optical sensors that allow information about stride length, speed and other data to be connected to a smart phone. One such smart shoe was worn by golfer Jordan Spieth during the U.S. Open in 2016.

Wicked wheels

Heavy customization has long been a part of the world of skateboarding, inline skating and freestyle scootering, along with BMX freestyling. The emphasis here isn’t just on bright colors and outrageous designs, it is also about being practical.

This means that if you want your freestyle scooter to stand out from the crowd and make you look like the professional rider that you are, look to customize it with some of the best accessories around. Hailing from down under, Longway Scooters develop parts for some of the top pro riders in the world. Not only do their wheels look amazing, but they also perform brilliantly and are extremely lightweight, making it easy to do bigger and more extreme tricks. You can find a wide range of Longway products at the Skates website.

Fits like a glove

Lacrosse is famously one of the most expensive sports around with the families of those who take it up likely to spend more than $17,000 each year, according to a study conducted by Utah State University. With that sort of money being spent, it is important to ensure that any equipment purchased fits as well as possible; one company is allowing that to happen.

Epoch Lacrosse recently launched Bespoke, an online gadget tool that allows players to customize their gloves and arm pads, choosing from different parts and a range of colors and textures. The system also makes it easy to collaborate, so that friends and teammates can share the overall design.

Cannabis IVXX

I don’t recall when we became Cannabis reviewers but my office girls are nothing less than ecstatic. We all have different needs (hi, I’m a mom), tastes and likes. One thing across the board, we are all into anything medicinal, plant based and high end quality.

Enter: IVXX  

On point and on trend. Not to mention sexy and just the right amount of edge.

If you are like many of us here, you have very specific desires when it comes to cannabis. I for one hate feeling high or out of control. Personally I am as far from a stoner as you can get. But by god, I have anxiety and get VERY TENSE!!! I don’t drink or do any drugs and quit Ativan years ago as it kills people. I have trouble staying asleep. I am basically up all night. It sucks!!! So I am all about finding a medicinal way to address my stuff. This chart is amazing. Check it out.

We are learning about so many exciting products to fit so many lifestyles and cannot wait to share it all with you. Something about IVXX feels bad-ass and masculine. I think dudes will love it. Of course – we ONLY feature top quality exquisite brands and this fits right into our groove.

You need to own a VAPE PEN for these cartridges! Make sure to look into that first!

STS BLUE SUPER CUTE DENIM FOR FALL – AND YES, AFFORDABLE!

August 30, 2017

Oh hi FALL!!!

STS Blue is making your go to skinny blacks,  effortlessly edgy.

Check out the fall look book here and see what styles are trending in LA. There are so many awesome things happening in the denim world this fall season, like funky hem details, cool treatments with embroidery and vintage washes. 

But the one that is TOTALLY TRENDING IS:

Denim on Denim – I know seems crazy that denim is the trend in denim, but it is! We are in a denim cycle. People are wearing jeans of all different washes, silhouettes, and fabrications. One of the biggest rising stars is the denim jacket.

STS Blue is introducing  an over sized boyfriend fit… It feels lived in, cool and is actually comfortable to wear. STS Blue will have it in so many vintage washes and with lots of fun detail. 

One of our favorite jackets from the fall line is a vintage wash boyfriend jacket with #beentheredonethat embroidered in navy script across the back.

 It’s a little bit of trend that doesn’t feel trendy and can still be worn all the time. 

Though you may think it’s faux pas to wear denim on denim it’s totally trending.

If you super daring when it comes to new fashion trends, pair it with contrasting jeans (dark jeans /light jacket from STS Blue of course!) if that is a little too far out of your comfort zone pair it with our black EMMA ANKLE SKINNY or the ZIPPER DETAIL gray jeans.

We are loving this AMAZING  Emma super soft mid rise Ankle skinny in Black

Benefits- $45 (HELLO UM YES PLEASE!!!!)

9″ rise

28″ inseam great for all shoes and it’s super skinny so you can totally wear it with over the knee boots

Super soft fabric

cool matte black hardware

STS Blue styles are true to size, and are made in a variety of fabrics to execute perfectly authentic washes while maintaining a flattering fit.
