SlavesGuitarist, Laurie Vincent’s forever evolving style blends his music influence, intertwining subcultures and a journey of self-expression for an end result that’s uniquely his own. From touring festivals to days spent seeking out local skate spots or creating his art, Laurie’s everyday never looks the same, and neither does his wardrobe.
Stance has once again teamed up with legendary artist, Mister Cartoon and iconic card staple UNO, on a limited-edition collection featuring Cartoon’s custom illustration of the UNO branding on our super soft combed cotton socks, built with our Infiknit™ construction that has a lifetime guarantee so the game never has to stop.
For our latest collection of casual crews with B. Thom Stevenson, the artist was inspired to use each sock as a vehicle to spread his own personal thoughts and ideas. As these concepts were therefore confined to the length of one foot (literally), it was necessary for B. Thom to compress his words for the sake of fit, resulting in often abstract designs.
Surfers Not Street Children is a charity that inspires change through surfing.
Founded by Tom Hewitt MBE, the charity was originally a maverick crew of social workers, carers and activists scouting the streets of downtown Durban. Since then, they have gone on to support and mentor over 3000 street children across three core programmes, one in Durban, Mozambique and a dedicated girls programme called ‘Girls Surf too’.
