Welcome to Deepsurface ver.2.0 our website has been given a slight make over with a few new subtleties to enhance your DS experience.  Most notably the DS Online Shop is now OFFICIALLY OPEN!!! Check out the current collection here. Also for a limited time FREE delivery within Australia till end of September.

Many thanks to Nat from Gomez Creative for bringing DS ver.2.0 to life and explaining how to fix websites with chefs and soup analogies over lunch.  The soup is fixed!

I have to admit that I thought Staple’s first collab with New Balance’s 575 were a pretty horrid pair of sneakers, though the same can’t be said about the NB575xWhitePigeons. The off white suede on these things are pure butter baby and a white mesh toe box is never a bad decision, but what I feel really sets these off is the pink highlights (laugh all you want). Anyway it’s good to see NB and Staple keeping this shoe pretty clean and simple, the way NB’s look best!

Head into Laced in Brisbane on Monday night for the August 18th Midnight release!
Remember there’s only 15 pairs in Australia, all at Laced! So get in there quick to avoid disappointment.

Also massive props to Twizm for the awesome flyer!!

Yo!

First I’d like to take a quick second to introduce myself seeing as I’m new to the DS crew!

Just call me KC,
Have been born n raised in BNE, to keep it short I’ll say I’m addicted to all the usual sh*t, ie. sneakers, 20’s of buddahs and bitches with beepers. I’m really here because I love talking about sneakers and sharing my view on the latest concepts in the sneaker industry and fashion as a whole… or really whatever keeps me amused at the time..

Anyway.. First post time,

Nike’s been pushing out some pretty dope commercials lately… well really only the Nike SB one featuring the unexpected Ice Cube in it..

Anyway their latest campaign of the fake hip hop group featuring Rashard Lewis as ‘Ice-O’, Kevin Durant as ‘Velvet Hoop’, Mo Williams as ‘Fog Raw’ and Andre Iguodala as ‘Chief Blocka!’ called the ‘Hyperizers’, is supposedly meant to be paying homage to the Golden Era of Hip Hop , as well as their latest Basketball sneaker the Nike Hyperize.

I myself, have been digging the look of Nikes newer basketball shoes (flywire goodness) such as the Hyperdunk and the Kobe IV’s which we’re looking to be getting more of in Sept.!! (check back soon to know release dates!!), though the same can’t be said for this faux hip hop group..still a funny clip though..

Peep the video below!

Meet Lucy our newest member to the DS family. Lucy will soon be featuring in a new column on our blog covering life in DS lifestyle. Readers can also submit their questions, seeking to pick the brains of Lucy. Whether or not you get the answer you’re looking for, you’re sure to find something (not necessarily advice) to all of your questions either in the form of a quote, sneering sarcasm, or a reference to some Crowded House song lyric…

It has been a dark and tragic period in Victoria over the past week and it will leave its mark on Australian history as one of the worst ever bushfires.  With temperatures topping 46 degrees the bushfires have burned and ravaged communities, taken lives, livelihoods and destroyed all in its path. Lives will be forever changed. But to think that some sick individual is behind this heinous act is absolutely disgusting. 

We at Deepsurface would like to express our deepest sympathies and condolences to all the people and families that have been affected by this horror… Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

And to all the brave individuals who are doing their part to help with the relief efforts, we salute you for your selflessness especially those on the frontline fighting the ravaging fire beast than burns.

But it is amazing to see us Australians banding together when times of need are at its greatest.
