Arvin News
Happy Sunday,
This week’s Clean Up is action-packed! We tour what is likely the cleanest snowboard factory in the world, preview a new Pleasures x Clarks drop, a new biodegradable shoe tread, and a UK brand we love!
In addition to that, we are running a pre-holiday sale on our sale page. Past season items for as much as 40% off. No code is required. Hit the page here. We have shared before that we have been working hard to redevelop the collection and streamline what we offer. Doing this means we have to clear out all the old items that don’t fit the updated direction. These are all great products, made with our best materials, but colors, packs, and merchandising changes, so these gotta go. By the end of the year, these previous collections will be gone, and the new focus will be complete.
As always, we appreciate you following along with us and engaging with what Arvin Goods is all about.
Have a great week!
Hope you enjoy today’s Clean Up. We would love to hear from you. Comment here on substack hit us on social, or email us at info@arvingoods.com. Have a great week. Cheers,
Team AG ✌️🧦

PLEASURES Taps Clarks For a Torhill Collaboration - HYPEBEAST
Great socks need great shoes to live in:
LA-based label, PLEASURES is joining forces with British footwear brand, Clarks for a footwear collaboration featuring two distinct Torhill styles.
Arriving in black and green, both styles feature a suede upper with TPR outsoles. Clarks’ highly-recognizable Wallabee serves as the inspiration for the upper, while the soles boast a ribbed and chunky form that’s reminiscent of the brand’s Big Gripper from the ‘90s.
The green variant spotlights an embroidered design of a Chinese dragon on its toe box, completed with tonal laces and embossed PLEASURES logo on outer laterals. As for the black colorway, the shoe spotlights a decorative motif in a contrasting white — a design that is echoed on the heels, while PLEASURES’ logo iterated in a calligraphic typeface on the outward-facing sides.🧦👟✌️

Montana Ag Network: Solum Tread aims for sustainability - KRTV Montana
Our shoes may be wearing out the environment. The plastics from our footwear live forever in landfills and studies have shown they have even have chemicals that contribute to the downfall of fish populations. But as MTN’s Tim McGonigal shows us in the video above, with the help of a Great Falls ag processor, a Colorado native turned shoe industry insider now living in Bozeman is charting a path to change.🌾🧑🏼🌾
