Rocketdog.com new home and women's site launches!

Pop culture meets subculture – with a twist. That’s Rocket Dog.

Fierce and funny. Fast and fetching. Flirty and footloose (yes, as in the movie). Occasionally fluffy.

Serving fashion-forward teens, eclectic city-dwellers and coastal casualistas who surf a wave as readily as they do the Web, Rocket Dog creates daring style combinations that play like epic, madcap love stories: librarian lace-ups meet sex-bomb spike heels. Demure scotch plaid meets new-wave chunk. Sturdy topsider meets punk-rock patent. Practical tweed flat meets swashbuckling samurai sash. Scaled-down Wellie meets fanciful fauna print. Opposites attract; fireworks ensue.

Rocket Dog shoes don’t blend in with the well-heeled pack – those nondescript breeds with their tails between their legs. Rocket Dogs bark.

We’re mad shoe scientists. We comb the planet for the most inspired ingredients and splice them together in our design laboratory. The DNA of our creations can be traced to Tokyo malls, New York punk clubs, Orange County beach barbecues, Hong Kong streetcorners and our own neon-colored, sci-fi dreams.

The Rocket Dog girl? She’s style-conscious but not a fashion slave. Confident and cool, but not afraid to show her goofy side. She likes comfort but isn’t conservative. She’ll work a sporty look – and hit the slopes or the water with her friends – but she doesn’t live at the gym. She watches reality TV but probably won’t admit it. And she loves her Rocket Dog shoes – she collects them, catalogues them, blogs about them and even makes movies about them.

And the Rocket Dog guy? He’s her boyfriend.

You can find Rocket Dog shoes at fine U.S. department and specialty stores. Collections include sandals, casual shoes, sneaks and boots; prices range from $20-$100.

The Story of Rocket Dog

It all began with a cork-bottom sandal.

The year was 1997. Rocket Dog’s first charismatic pup of a shoe scampered onto the scene and became the darling of San Francisco, South Beach and L.A. – the number one sandal of the season and the first issue of a champion litter. Next came a boundary-breaking all-rubber sandal, dubbed “Horny Corner” in honor of a legendary surf spot in The O.C.’s Huntington Beach; it too was soon the toast of the coast.

The brand behind these suddenly ubiquitous shoes? It was sired by breeders with more than 40 years’ experience designing and marketing footwear, and named (with a kinetic canine logo to match) for the head Dog whisperer’s fleet-footed, beachcombing pooch, Max, known far and wide for his stunning velocity. He was an apt mascot for a new breed of shoe company: one that took off like a shot, has never stopped moving, and that – once it sets a goal – is like a dog with a bone.

RD quickly became an international brand, extending its paws into Central America, Europe, Australia and parts of the Middle East, among other markets. The company launched its men’s line in 2004, and a kids’ line shortly thereafter.

Our “brain lab” hit a new plateau with their line of vulcanized shoes, which showcased a similarly funky-femme sensibility. The design team has gone on to mutate an array of familiar shoe categories. Dress dogs, casual dogs, school dogs – they all have a twist, from sly prints sewn under the tongue or artfully distressed surfaces to “toybox” charms attached directly to the top of the shoe.

When we want to do our version of a popular style, we study it from every angle and then add our DNA. Rocket Dogs need to be cute, comfortable and little bit loud. Do we dig rockabilly-pinup audacity, modern lines with a bit of Asian-styled panache, futuristic flavor with old-school sass, and American goth-girl punk? You bet. But Rocket Dog’s designers constantly push themselves outside their comfort zones, striving to reinvent traditional shoe styles in their own irreverent image.

We design with a certain kind of customer in mind: young, hip, nonconformist, saucy, funny and experimental. She might be 19 years old, or 25. Or 70, for that matter – some people just refuse to grow up, and those are our kind of people.

Im Backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Lots of stuff happening so I have the urge to blog again.

The desire to write.

So I will.

Yanks got Bobby Abreu. MindSmack is KICKING THE WORLDS ASS.

Bout to go to the office to get some grub.

But soon. Novious banter.

Time for TAG WORLD

This friggin site is really well done. I joined it and it seems to be all its cracked up to be from what i was told which was that it was quality and it really seems like it is to this point, quality that is.

Here is 1 way to go out!

Cant make this shit up :)

Honey Smacks for Breakfast are very TOUGH to get down

At a pace where you can successfully eat them without "the major uncomfortable SOG"

Not much worse then soggy honey smacks.

And, any single disruption whilst eating the bowl of honey smacks induces soggyness.

Which, in turn makes for a poor bfast experience.

It is over now.

Cannot eat them again during this sitting.

Not enough milk left to pour fresh honey smacks for that just poured crunchy.

Only thing left would be "the major uncomfortable SOG."

Can't wait for lunch!

I have recently become an ATV enthusiast! Man does it rock!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone ever gone?

Anyone know where to ride in NJ?

Lemmmmmmmmme know.

Now more smack :) with wings!

:)

Just launched the new portfolio. Some truly amazing work.

Web Design, Flash Animation madness :D

Going to Fenway Park on Saturday to see the Yanks rip the Socks up!

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Manny and Edgar. Quality.

This is some excellent graphical work :D

Man I cannot stand Manny Ramirez

Today is a big day. Today we get toilet!

No more running down 3 flights of stairs for the "must urination calling" when you first awaken in the morning. I have tried to work a method in the last 3-4 weeks that can prolong the need to urinate immediately upon opening my eyes but alas, it is simply not possible without the obscene burning feeling that does not end its torture on the urethra until it spews the liquid.

Needless to say we are excited.

I just bought 120 of the best episodes of WOODY WOODPECKER on DVD via eBay!

See, now this is what I am talking about. It's all about finding a deal like this (assuming it's legit). Someone spent the time to burn these episodes to DVD or transferred them from VHS or TV to DVD. GOD BLESS THEM! I hope the quality is good enough to observe the quality visual and hi-jinx that is Woody and his friends like Chilly Willy the penguin and that zany crocodile (along the river nile, I guess their always warm as toast they always seem to smile!)

I just posted on a blog that Larry David posted on!

Hopefully one day I will meet the older version of myself. Would give my right nipple, my left knee and my upper lip to be an extra on CYE!

Holy shit life is busy!

Since we moved in every aspect of shit has been non stop busy. I am hoping we can have the bathroom upstairs finished by this coming Friday.

the kitchen cabinets will be here tomorrow but will have to sit in the garage until everything else is done.

we gotta buy the kitchen floor tile tonight or tomorrow as well.

work is booming as well.

fun but chaotic to juggle all but hopefully in about 1 month everything will be settled and the new site will be online.

then we can rock it out for the rest of the year.

Almost 10,000 hits to my blog. SO I AM BACK INTO IT!

So the bathroom tub is in. We now have lived in Cranford, NJ for 1 week and I must say it is such an amazing place. People are so nice and caring about their area and houses. If anyone seeing this lives near or in NYC and never heard of Cranford, NJ it should be checked out. It is one of the few places left that you can still get a decent size piece of the earth for less then $500,000 near nyc. My wife says she has been getting into NYC in 40 mins door to door. That is rockin!!!!!!

Today we are awaiting the toilet delivery along with the stove, microwave and the vanity for the bathroom. I think that is the last major purchase for awhile. Unless we get the corvette or piano soon!

So now we are GUT RENOVATING the bathroom AND kitchen

An old friend of mine is a contractor so with his uncle who is a master plumber and electrician, they are gutting both rooms. Basically, we are doing it because he is hooking us up with a sick deal!!!

Will show some photos before and after asap........

YEEEHAWWW.

Got the jetted tub i wanted too!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
