Scüzzy Boomer

Stüssy ZoomerRhymes with Stüssy Zoomer. Okay, maybe not, but it is still pretty cool. UK's online Zoomer aficianado magazine Zoomerzine has teamed with fashion icon Stüssy and designer Ben Wilson to create a one-of-a-kind, Limited Ed. scooter. People here in the US know these scooters as the Honda Ruckus. My friend Ryan has one in white, and let me tell you, they sure are fun. This new Limited Ed. version of the Zoomer celebrates classic western 'kustum culture' drawing from surf, BMX, hot-rod and skateboard influences with custom laser-engraved wood panels and hand-painted pinstripes. Only ten of these bikes will be produced, each individually numbered. They come with a special edition lasered, numbered skateboard and a Kustum Stüssy x Alpha MA-1 jacket. They go on sale Saturday, July 1st for £2400 at the Stüssy Store at 19 Earlham Street in London. Check out the video and images to see all the work and details that went into this project. Maybe someone over there can pick me up one and have it shipped to the states. How 'bout it? Any takers?
