The Second Coming of GSUS

Born in 1993 GSUS Sindustries has stood out for being known for their left and right brain thinking when it comes to fashion. Combining precision craftsmanship with intuitive free spirited roots, GSUS strives for style that works in harmony but thrives for confrontation.

Russia is their inspiration for their F/W 13 lines The Dandy, Military, and Folklore. With refreshing contrasts in colors, forms and detailing in a twist with blended mixtures of Russian influences and classic tweed fusing the nostalgic folkloric elements with a militaristic uniform outlook.

Long known for their amazing innovative clothing, they continue to be an industry leader by fusing the esthetic with the scientific. Their F/W 13 denim line pays homage to some of the great scientific minds throughout history with the Tesla, Da Vinci, Bohr, Wright, Newton, and the Einstein jeans.

Infused with rich Aloe Vera extract provides a rich soft feel to their jeans that has to be felt to believe, while softening your skin every time you wear the jeans. They are hand dipped in dry resin it provides a unique worn in look while softening the denim, as well as an instinctive GSUS tweed print, which results in a tight woven herringbone denim. All of this results in an eye popping luxurious jean that you won’t soon forget.

Wheat Wave!

One of the many joys of summertime is sitting back with a nice cold one on a hot summer’s day. For most guys in Canada summer is slowly making its way into our lives. With summer just around the corner the Molson Brewing Company has released their Canadian take on traditional wheat beer with Molson Canadian Wheat.

Molson Canadian Wheat is naturally cloudy (unfiltered) lightly golden ale with a delicate combination of fruity esters and floral top notes. With delivering fresh wheat flavor with a hint of malt and balanced by the fruity character of just-ripened bananas. Molson Canadian Wheat is unlike its spicy Belgian and clove-like German counterparts offers a smooth feel with a clean refreshing finish.

Molson Canadian Wheat contains 4.5% ABV (alcohol by volume) and is a great compliment to a variety of foods like: veal sausages, white fish, seafood, sushi and vegetarian meals. The new beer will be in full Canadian distribution by May 2013 at beer retailer near you.

A New Type Of Tread For Men…

The science of exercise shoes is an ever evolving and innovating science. This month Reebok unveiled their ATV19+ and the DMXSKY to their already proven ZigTech, RealFlex and SubLite lines. With the promise of workout-specific footwear, it is the last thing you will need to worry about when you focus on your fitness goals.

The ATV19+ brings 19 cushioned irregular lugs are designed to rip through mud, snow, and grass for earth-shaking traction and high speed stability with Carbon rubber outsole for traction grip and durability. The ATV19+ acts as a true all-terrain vehicle (ATV) for your feet. With a rugged synthetic toe and heel overlays add durability and abrasion resistance. The ATV19+ is available today in select Foot Locker locations at a suggested retail price of $149.99.

The DMXSKY employs moving air technology inside three proprietary channels along the shoe’s outsole, moving the air from heel to toe and back again to create maximum comfort and cushioning. The channels don’t allow the air to move from side to side resulting in greater stability for the runner. The men’s Reebok DMXSKY will be available mid-March at select Foot Locker destinations at a suggested retail price of $139.99.

Batman Comes to Your Wrist…

From deep in the shadows of Gotham City the Dark Knight rises again! This time (no pun intended) in the form of a watch from the Dark Knight collection which is limited edition from Diesel.

DIESEL in collaboration with Warner Bros. has successfully combined the distinct bad ass look of Batman, and the sexy sophisticated style of Bruce Wayne, and re-imagined a comic book icon to create this limited edition timepiece.

The Dark Knight Rises timepiece is inspired by the Batmobile Tumbler, it features a black silicone strap with tire-like treads, the Batman logo printed on the layered chronograph dial and carved into the oversized crown. Like the Bat-Signal against the sky, a white LED light creates a cool contrast to the matte black IP plated case.

Each limited edition Batman timepiece is individually and sequentially numbered on the watch’s LED lever. The watch is packaged in The Dark Knight Rises coordinating display box. With a limited production run of only 5000 pieces, you can be sure that they will disappear back into the shadows form which it came.

The Dark Knight Rises limited edition timepiece will be available worldwide November 10, 2012 in Diesel Stores, select department and specialty stores, and on www.DieselTimeframes.com.

Shaken, Not Necessarily Stirred

When you think of James Bond a lot of things come to mind; fast cars, buxom Bond girls, and cool hi-tech gadgets. But nothing is more synonymous with Bond than the Martini shaken not stirred (try not reading that last line using Sean Connery’s voice). His drink of choice may have changed for Skyfall for product placement revenue reasons, but nothing screams Bond more than the martini.

Be it vodka or gin-based one thing is for sure for the best tasting Martini you need start with quality ingredients. Iceberg Vodka the world’s purest vodka begins with the purest source of water on the planet, icebergs. Iceberg water has been locked up and protected from pollutants as solid ice for 12,000 years. Impurities in iceberg water are so infinitesimal that they are measured in parts per quadrillion. This produces a damn good vodka.

If you’re planning a holiday cocktail party, needing to unwind after a long day at work, or just because it’s a Tuesday! I have edited our faves for you. My fave which is synonymous with James Bond? The Blood Shot even though it’s not a martini it sounds tailor-made for a secret agent. Just as Skyfall redefining Bond so are vodka companies with his favourite cocktail.

Why Shopping Online Just Became FAB!

Let’s face it guys, a trip to the shopping mall is not our idea of fun time. Between the running the gauntlet of crowds, no parking spaces, lines, and bitchy salespeople it can cause anyone to drink.
