the collabo is alive and well

Lately I've been noticing quite a few collaborations going on in the bike industry. Personally, I am into the collabos. Two heads are better than one, and it is always fun challenge to work on a project that is a convergence of different styles. Here at PDW we've got a collabo of our own in the works with Shin Tanaka, there will be more soon about that, and I think you'll like what we've got cooking. I first read about Shin in Giant Robot magazine last December on the Drive to Portland from Madison. He has a style, a way of looking at things, that caught my eye right away. I don't know a thing about 'art' but I knew that I wanted to work with him. So we have.

Speaking of collabos, this shoe is part of one between Adidas and Kavalinka, and I'm a big fan! Dig those world champion stripes!
