Come out for 80′s Night and Knockaround’s biggest giveaway to date! We will be giving the first 20,000 fans in attendance a free pair of special edition Knockaround x San Diego Padres “frosted brown” sunglasses. The Padres will be in their 80′s throw back gear so fish through that closet, trim that ‘stache and we’ll see you at the game!

This Wednesday, May 15th, Knockaround is throwing a pep-rally to get everyone in San Diego excited for our big giveaway with the San Diego Padres.

Stop by Mission Brewery, in downtown San Diego, from 6-10pm for a night of beverages, food, music, giveaways, ping pong, and Padres!

We’ll also have a pop-up shop at the event, with 50% of the evening’s sales going directly to ArtReach San Diego.

Check out this video we put together about Pow Wow Hawaii! It seems like just yesterday that we were roaming the streets of Honolulu, talking to artists and soaking in the sunshine.

And we’ve got some GOOD NEWS… there are another 100 pairs of Limited Edition Pow Wow Fort Knocks that are available RIGHT NOW on Knockaround.com.  Just click here.

That’s right, the Pow Wow crew had 100 pairs (from the edition of 1000) that weren’t sold in Hawaii, so they sent them back to us. If you missed them the first time around, now is your chance. And don’t forget, we’re offering FREE SHIPPING all week.

Knockaround was stoked to be a part of this year’s Pow Wow Hawaii.

Pow Wow is a week-long event where hundreds of artists, designers, and creatives converge to produce new work on outdoor walls in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Founded several years ago by Jasper Wong, Pow Wow has grown to become one of the most talked-about art festivals in the world. Roaming the streets of Kaka’ako (a commercial / industrial area of Honolulu), the Knockaround crew talked with both local and visiting artists, shot video, took photos, and immersed ourselves in everything Pow Wow. Art, collaboration, community… all in Hawaii! I can’t imagine a more perfect event for Knockaround to be a part of. Just take a look at the photos.

Big thanks to Jasper and everyone at Pow Wow for letting us take part. Stay tuned for the release of the video we shot… and the release of 500 pairs of Limited Edition Pow Wow Fort Knocks. -Ace

In select theaters March 15, everywhere else April 2013.

For the second year in a row, Ace and some of the Knockaround crew headed up to Pasadena, California for the 99th annual Rose Bowl. Football, food, ice cold beverages, and lots of sunglasses… a good time was had by all! It was a great game: Stanford took the title with a 20-14 win against Wisconsin.

A big thanks to everyone who came out to the Knockaround x Benny Gold 1937 Fort Knocks release party last night in San Francisco.  There was a packed house, great music, and lots of cold beer (Thanks, Pabst!)

All 400 pairs are officially sold out.  Knockaround’s allotment of 200 pairs sold out online in about 27 minutes… our fastest sell-out yet.  Congrats if you were one of the lucky few that were able to purchase a pair of these.

Check back here soon for a full video recap of the event!
