There’s more to life than being really really good looking: or is there?


Spring has sprung! Which means summer flings are fast approaching and it’s time to update your whack outdated wardrobe. Here’s my advice, which inevitably asked for my reading this blog, the three most important artifacts you need to purchase this summer: a Nixon watch, Spy sunglasses and Adidas kicks. Why are these important? Shoes define your lifestyle, for example: Air Force 1’s equal team player, Loafers equal nerd, and Adidas skate shoes equal everything that’s right in the world. Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and over protective boyfriends. Lastly, and most importantly, a Nixon watch will keep you from showing up late for first, second and third dates. Also, watches indicate a level of sensibility and importance. However, some dorks will say “why not just use you’re cell phone?” Here’s why, not everyone can read and analog watch, thus, you’ll impress all the girls with your watch reading abilities. Do you really think any girl is impressed by your digital cell-phone clock? The only exceptions would be kids who have analog cell phones. So swing by the shop and check out our new summer stock, new watches and new shoes. Trust me, a Nixon watch will get you more dates and if you’re juggling as many girls as Tegan Popper-Smooth you’ll need to know the time. Worst case scenario wrong place wrong time wrong girl!
Editors Note: Purchasing shoes, watch and sunglasses and only wearing these three items will get you arrested unless you find your self on Little Tribune on Hornby, so check out assorted tee’s and shorts as well.

Get in Vans: with strangers

It’s probably a scientific fact, that wearing Vans shoes will automatically progress your skill on a skate. Luckily for you, Alternative just got a massive order of new Vans; which is great for you, but my backs slightly sore from improperly lifting boxes to avoid exposing my tighty whiteys. We also got some surf slips and sandals for all you white water waders. Vans began on March 16, 1966, so you know these ex-gypsy hippies are legit! Plus, Spencer and Jolene just did an extreme make over on the shop: looks professional. Spencer would like everyone to know that Vans could also be said backwards, Snav: thanks Spenny.

Stalking girls on facebook won’t get you a date. Therefore, do something semi-productive with the internet and enjoy this link to the Vans Wikipedia site.

C1RCA Souls

Bonjour cronies

C1RCA shoes just got delivered by our trusty Purolator man Johnny. We got the 205 Vulc’s in assorted colors to match your divers’ wardrobe ensemble. Secondly, we got the new 50 – Lopez for all you park monkeys to assimilate with. Let’s go to our shoe associate Joe with his take on the Lopez.

Guaranteed my girlfriend is hotter than yours and I rock Circa! Coincidence, I think not.

Step on things with Dixon

Greetings digital surfers
Alternative just got the bangin new and improved Supra Dixon. AG’s wood pushers Chase and Kaden rock the Dixons and they get serious tail (girls). Lets go to Joe in his mother’s basement with all the details.

These shoes will make you more popular then Kegan: guarantee!

Supra Dupra Shoes

Food Court hustlers rejoice

Alternative just got boxes of materialism for everyone to consume. Most notably the SUPRA SKY TOP 2: the Jay Z of high tops. If you fly slightly more hesh but still rock the turtle neck skate shoe, then we got some SUPRA THUNDERS for you! All our shred gear is half off (as well as, Spencer’s pants) so come and enjoy the savings.

PS: if you mention this blog I’ll give you a big kiss and maybe a deal.

MARC JOHNSON

The new MJ2’s from Lakai walked into the shop today. To avoid any further unnecessary reading lets go to Joe for all the details.

Great flexing Joe, you really put these MJ2’s into perspective!
