Beastie Boys Wear Anon on 'Late Night...'


It's an honor for any up and coming music act to perform on a late night show. Like the Beastie Boys, to be so recognizable that you appear on Late Night With Conan O'Brien as the brunt of Triumph the Insult Dog's jokes is even bigger. Even more important for a brand like Anon is the fact that both Mike D and Ad-Rock were wearing the Rufus and Crusher styles during the clip!

Santigold and Trouble pack for the road with Burton luggage


Before heading out to the west coast for shows that included a stop at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in LA, Santigold and Trouble stopped by the NYC Flagship store to pick up some travel gear that included Burton, Analog, ANON and Gravis goods.

Special thanks to Craig Weatherby and the Frank 151 crew for setting this up! Stay tuned for more photos from the road as they tour the world this Summer...

Burton Bag in "Land of the Lost"

The new Will Ferrell, Anna Friel (of the hit t.v. Show “Pushing Daisies”) film version of Land of the Lost, which has grossed 44 mil at the box office so far this summer, depicts the lead characters traveling through time. Without a change of clothes throughout most of the film, Anna Friel’s Burton backpack got many close-ups. Check out the screen shots below.







Thanks to Norm Marshall Agency for setting this up!

Burton / Mark Ward BBQ



In celebration of the Mark Ward's designs in the Spring/Summer collection and the A/W 10 Blunt, Canoe decided to make the most of having Mark on our doorstep here in London. As a good friend of Canoe, Mark did not hesitate when given the opportunity to come down and throw one of his unique designs up in the showroom. He did a great job, so great we thought we'd show it off. Friends in the media were invited down to check out the wall, the new Burton gear and have a good chat over a couple of brews and burgers.

Tommie Sunshine Travels With Burton, Now an Anon Guy


Traveling most of the year, producer/DJ Tommie Sunshine understands the need for good luggage as much as anyone. When we caught up with him this year at SXSW his current luggage was on the verge of disintegration so we made it a point to bring him through the New York store before the annual showroom event. He not only picked up a luggage set before flying out that night to play a show in Portland, but he also copped a pair of Anon sunglasses he said he'll wear as part of the 'Sunshine ensemble' during future gigs.

Burton’s Red, White and Brews Party Blowout

1,320 cans of PBR, 10 cases of Americana Vodka, hula hoops, corn hole, balloons and a swing set were all on hand at last night’s Americana-themed Burton party in SoHo. Hundreds of guests celebrated Burton’s annual NYC showroom, which debuted the 2010 product line for top journalists. Media from Sports Illustrated, Allure, O Magazine, The Fader, XXL, NY Times, Vanity Fair, Vice Magazine, Seventeen and Spin, in addition to musicians, designers, artists, DJs and even Jake Burton himself were all there to enjoy some good old fashioned American fun.

Burton’s 10,000 sq ft SoHo showroom loft, bathed in red light and filled with red, white and blue helium balloons, showcased key products from Burton’s 2010 outerwear, boot and binding lines. Mannequins displaying next season’s outerwear were repeatedly molested throughout the night in the name of comical photo ops. Corn hole, a Midwest version of horseshoes that uses beanbags, tested the talents of partygoers, while others competed against one another to hold aloft a hula hoop longer. A random swing set in a dimly lit corner provided seating and whimsy.

The booze was flowing and the beats, courtesy of DJ Brooklyn Dawn, motivated the crowd to get moving and throw down impromptu dance-offs. In keeping with the theme, the food from Mary Giuliani Catering was American-inspired and featured eats like mini burgers, fried chicken, ribs and apple pie. AMP energy kept the crowd awake and partying into the wee hours until the well ran dry and the music died down.

If you weren’t there, you missed out. But don’t worry, there’s always next year…
