Outlaws || Short Film

Legendary footballer David Beckham puts his acting chops to the test in Outlaws, a short film produced by British heritage brand Belstaff. Taking inspiration from Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy, Beckham – who has represented Belstaff in other mediums – plays the role of “The Stranger,” a man of few words and a piercing squint: two attributes appropriated from Clint Eastwood’s “The Man With No Name” character. For the film, the avid motorcycle enthusiast turns his hobby into a fictitious profession that sees him come to the rescue of a distressed trapeze artist, played by Katherine Waterston.

Marius Syvanen || Going Slow Sucks

Huck Magazine met up with Marius Syvanen to get a tour of his hometown, San Diego, Calif. Marius shows them around his local spots, and they stop by Pacific Drive to set up a board.

Forbes || The $750,000 Sneaker Collection

The latest video from Forbes takes us down into the basement of "sneaker wearer" (not "sneaker collector") Mark "Mayor" Farese, who estimates that he now owns a little over 3,000 pairs of shoes, valuing them at around the $750,000 mark.

"I grew up very poor. My mother bought me some sneakers, it was like a $10 shoe, and it was called the Mark 5. I thought I was the coolest kid on the block because I had my name on my shoe. So I ran downstairs and everybody laughed me off the block, I was the laughing stock of the block. I went upstairs crying and I vowed I would never ever get laughed at again when it came to footwear," says Farese. "Whatever I had to do to get sneakers after that, whatever it was, sweeping floors or stealing money from my grandfather, whatever it was I vowed never to be laughed at again for footwear, and a little later we have these 3,000 pairs of sneakers."

The History of The Stan Smith by Gary Aspden: Sportswear

There is no doubt that the adidas Stan Smith is one of the most iconic sneakers ever designed, having staked its claim on the sneakerhead consciousness before there were even sneakerheads. But as much as its clean, white silhouette is imprinted into all of our minds, how much do you know about the history behind the Stan Smith? To investigate, SHOWStudio tapped the encyclopedic knowledge of adidas Creative Consultant Gary Aspden on exactly that, who covers everything from the shoe that the Stan Smith evolved from, the first celebrity adopters of the sneaker, the ebb and flow of its popularity over the decades, and why Stan Smith doesn’t have a moustache in his portrait on the sneaker’s tongue. Listen to the educational monologue below.
