Adikt Footwear and Apparel reports The Chain Gang Hoodies came as quikly as they left. It only took one hour for these guys to sell out. Unfortunately they won’t ever be printed again, so if you’re like me we’ll never even know what we missed. On a brighter note the Fall/Holiday line from 10 Deep is very promising, so we’ll get a chance to redeem ourselves.
Adikt gives Dallas a great mix of sneakers, art and clothing. It’s a great place to find really unique, fun, and funky footwear and to get caught up on fashion trends that have not previously been represented in Dallas.
Adikt carries the hottest brands such as 10 deep, 7th letter, playing for keeps, spoon fed, mishka, king stampede, rocksmith, complete technique, dissizit, akomplice, jask, mighty healthy, reebok, vans vault, creative rec, greedy genius, new balance.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in New York City, Beck(y) is a shrewdly designed collection of handcrafted, one-of-a-kind bags and accessories constructed with recycled skateboards and plush, high-end fabrics.
Beck(y)’s handbags named sk8bags are hand made, and a very time-consuming. She washes the decks and removes the grip tape, but makes a clear conscious effort to alter the decks as little as possible because she strives to always uphold the integrity of her source material.
Recycled skateboards are vital to Beck’s operation, and she’s fortunate to have a handful of generous supporters who send her used and warranty boards on a regular basis. Beck currently receives decks from 5boro Skateboards, Giant Distribution, Zumiez, Simi Valley’s Skatelab Skatepark, Old Star Skateshop, ZJ Boarding House, among others.
To keep the recycled decks coming her way, and to give back to the skateboarding community at the same time, Beck established the Boards 4 Bowls program. For every used board she receives Beck donates $3 to a variety of non-profit organizations dedicated to building and maintaining public skateparks across the country. Beck currently works with the Tony Hawk Foundation, Jeff Anderson Memorial Fund and Elemental Awareness.
You can find Sk8bags available at “Kül“:http://www.houseofkul.com/, 1303 Main Street, The Davis Building, Downtown Dallas (214-745-5585)
or you can purchase online at beckycity.com

Escama is a new companies that combine clever design with ethical trading to create a line of bags and purses made with recycled aluminium woven together with nylon fishing line.
The combination of the metallic material and the nylon thread results in a line of bags that are both very soft but with an slightly aggressive urban edge, with the fish scale pattern recalling medieval chainmails.
ESCAMA, “fish scales” in Portuguese, consists of three friends working out of San Francisco and Brasilia, Brazil. Their eco-friendly concepts are both fashionable and functional.
