Gravis Fall ‘09 Preview

We just acquired these photos taken at the Gravis booth at last week’s Agenda tradeshow in San Diego. What you see here (and after the jump) is the Gravis Footwear Fall 2009 line, and there are some sneakers in here that actually look pretty dope! Gravis was known for having one of the biggest fall-offs of 2007, and since then we haven’t really heard, or seen, much from the brand that vaguely interested us.

It looks like the design crew got in the kitchen, though, and started cooking. While some of the product is still business as usual, new styles are looking sharp for Fall 2009. Expect this stuff to hit retail mid-August (we’ll get you the correct names and prices by then). Hopefully this is a turning point for the brand and we can look forward to good things in the future from the Burton-owned action sports footwear crew. Hit the jump to see all kinds of stuff.

Timberland Boot Company, the Timberland brand’s premium line, just dropped at OAK. A $375 price tag ain’t cheap, but these boots are pretty sick if you’re part of the raw denim/Moncler vest/$50 t-shirt set. [OAKnyc]

Where are you Yeezies? Right here dawg. Right here in Mike Epps hands. [Nice Kicks]

Ummm… Gravis. You guys hit and miss, but there is one pair in this spring collection that is worth copping. Or maybe not. Maybe shut down the whole division and work on fixing Burton. [High Snobiety]

Nike AM90 Neo-turquoise on sale now. Sick. What’s with all the stuff coming out post-Xmas? You guys were scared of the recession or something? [Kix-Files]

Lebron VI Chalks. We’re starting to get impressed here, Bronzy. [Kicks on Fire]
