P-Rod X InCase Bag Collaboration
August 8, 2008 – 5:40 pm PT by Mike
The last time I saw someone this busy was Sisqo. Remember that guy? The dude that can dance really well and has a silver head? At the peak of his career, he was in movies like “Snow Dogs”, had campaigns with Sprite, and of course had the all time underwear hit, “Thong Song”. Of course after that, he went on a steep decline and has never been heard of from again. I think he’s stuck in a ditch somewhere.
Paul Rodriguez seems to be sharing the same success but his is more business oriented. After winning a crap load of money at the Maloof Money Cup, landed a video skateboarding gig, and even starred in an award winning film (not to get confused with his Dad’s award winning movie “Million To Juan”) “Concrete Jungle”.
Now P-Rod has a line of his own designer bags in collaboration with InCase. These things are really nice too. Their built from very durable material that is able to withstand the harsh travel conditions of a skateboarder. Check out the press release below for more info.
