Tyler Daku has been blogging for a few years now, and since his very first post has had one goal in mind; to bring action sports and the culture that goes along with it to as many people as he possibly can.  Since joing the Spareparts media team more than one year ago Tyler has had his finger on the pulse of music, fashion, media, gadgets and everything that makes up the day to day life of those in the loop and on the tip of all that is cool.  Ty's aim is to keep you in the know on as many subjects as possible and is a great source for daily info and updates.

Do you love wearing Sanuk footwear this time of year? Well you are not alone, as the army of people who are rocking their products is literally growing by the day. If the one drawback you feel when sliding into your favorite pair is having to slip your heel around the backstay, then trust me when I say that you are certainly not alone there either. The cries have been heard however and the collective prayers of Sanuk’s follwing have been answered as they have now started to develop a line... [Keep Reading]

It took until the second week of May, but for most of us it is finally starting to look like we are going to be able to step outside and enjoy ourselves for the remainder of a shortened spring and summer season. It doesn’t take much for this to happen, as most of us have grown somewhat accustomed to fly by night weather conditions and the realization that the date on a calendar rarely dictates what is happening in the great western Canadian outdoors. So the idea that most of us have at... [Keep Reading]

One of the coolest things about this time of year is that many of the manufacturers who showcase product via Spareparts use the opportunity to launch great new pieces that are focused on the shapes, colors and finishes which seem easier to wear when the sun is shining. One of the major themes we have seen coming into play lately is the use of bright and vibrant les treatments, which is the type of thing we simply don’t see during the cooler months. One of the best companies in the... [Keep Reading]

Well, I think it’s finally safe to say that spring has arrived (albeit a little late) for those of us living on the Canadian prairies. I say this because even if by chance it does happen to snow again, there is little chance of it sticking around thanks to the above twenty-degree weather we have been experiencing as of late. As a matter of fact, it was said weather conditions that lead me to my first patio experience of 2013 the other day, and due to it’s overly long awaited arrival... [Keep Reading]

Attention To Classic Detail

Marc Jacobs has always been the type of designer who appreciates and respects classic looks. There is evidence of this throughout his collections in everything from his runway pieces, to the handbags, watches and eyewear that bear his name. Sure there are a handful of pieces that seem to come out of nowhere and catch your eye quicker than you know what to do about it, but for the most part Jacobs offerings are created in a way that makes them wearable season after season, year after year....

Uncommon Threads

The uncommon thread is something that strings together not only people enjoy the action sports and lifestyle industries, but many other facets of life. Whether it is the creative segments like art, music and literary works, or that bug that won’t allow you to stay in one place for longer than a few months at a time. Needless to say there are many groups in the world built of people who see things in the same light and as a result can simply relate to people on a deeper level than people... [Keep Reading]

It appears as though after eight straight months of snow touching the ground on the Canadian prairies that spring and eventually summer may actually be in our future. There are consistent double digit highs in the forecast and with the sun expected to shine on a regular basis, it won’t be long until the waterproof footwear can go away. At least for a little while. I don’t know if I would go as far as to say you can put your Hunter Boots away completely just yet, but with the type of... [Keep Reading]

Long Live Southbank

It’s no secret that skateboarding is a huge part of the culture of today. Between fashion, music and art there aren’t many things that the sport doesn’t impact on a regular basis. So it seems like a bit of a strange juxtaposition when sprawling urban centres like London, San Francisco and Philadelphia just to name a few are looking to lessen the impact of the sport, rather than encourage it. What I am speaking about is the destruction of some of the world’s most iconic... [Keep Reading]
