LUKE STEDMAN X URGE FOOTWEAR
Monday, May 06, 2013

This winter Urge Footwear gives Power To The People… a campaign that celebrates individuals that have inspired the creation of some new pieces in our collection with their unique personal style.

This is Luke Stedman. Just over a year ago he started the feel-good label Insted We Smile. Although Stedman – or Steds as his mates call him – has always had a thing for fashion it wasn’t always his gig. Before he put his mind to running and designing a men's clothing line, he was a professional surfer at the elite level on the ASP World Tour competing against the like of Slater, Irons, Parkinson and Fanning. 

After years of getting paid to spruik sponsors threads that Steds believed didn't really compliment his own style, he was eventually inspired to produce his own gear! Getup that resembled his flavour... And going off the building retail support and A-List celebrity following, people love what the man is offering.

With each Insted We Smile collection you'll see a solid variety of pieces but we're always impressed by the clever original prints and superb yardages worked across dreamy fitting tees, shirts and walk shorts. To find out more about the label and do a little shopping, go to instedwesmile.com


MEXICANO X URGE FOOTWEAR
Monday, April 22, 2013

Mexicano restaurant, at the iconic North Narrabeen beach in Sydney, is run by the high-energy super brothers Kieron and Sean Prenter. It's the best food stop on the north side of the bridge and by far the best Mexican you can get in Sydney. The lads always look after us and their dashing staff look superb in Urge shoes.

If the famous fish tacos or the grilled corn isn't enough for you, then we dare you to order a shot of GRAN PATRON and score yourself a $50 gift voucher to Urge Footwear. One more thing- book ahead because this venue is packed out nearly every night.. SALUD!

One human we just can’t get enough of is the beautiful Holly Hipwell, founder and Chief Flower Enthusiast of the Flowerdrum. If you don’t know of this delightful lady and her popular blog then it's time to step out of your bubble and get to know all about her..

Holly has teamed up with some of fashions favourite minds and her floral arrangements and installations have featured internationally in photo shoots, gallery exhibitions, rock concerts, parties, celebrity weddings and more.

We think ourselves extremely lucky to be able to keep the feet of this clever woman covered in Urge Footwear. Holly’s go to styles from the collection are Ashe and Jules in black.

A ROADY UP NORTH
Thursday, April 04, 2013

Jack Entwistle and friends just got back from a little roady up Northern NSW, to Kingscliff, to do the Men's LQS event. Although they got knocked out early, it only left them with more time to run around, play on some extra waves, cliff jump in Yamba and hit some skate parks. 

The guys caught the whole trip on their new go pro, rocking out in their Zanerobe and Urge gear, making a little clip that you can check out below..  

JARRAD HOWSE X URGE FOOTWEAR
Monday, March 25, 2013

This winter Urge Footwear gives Power To The People… a campaign that celebrates individuals that have inspired the creation of some new pieces in our collection with their unique personal style.

One delightful human that we happily place in Urge shoes is Jarrad Howse.


This former pro surfer has spent more than half his life tripping around the globe chasing heat wins. After he finished up with competitive surfing himself his experience was called on by World Title contender Jordy Smith. In 2013 Jarrad will help the big South African in his quest to win a maiden World Title.

Jarrad has been peacocking about the place in Urge shoes a while now and feels most at home in Obe.
