Dynos… from Outer Space?
$25.00
Designed by Mimi Suh, “it’s about being playful, being nostalgic. It evokes memories of retro video games and early digital art. By using graphic word art and pixelated images that translate to the Rad Shyt Labs visual system, it feels like a throwback to classic arcade aesthetics celebrating digital nostalgia.”
Mimi is a multidisciplinary designer who is the mad scientist of the RSL team. She tinkers with machines and is a team sports nut. Want to know the score of late night's game? She would know.
Unique variations of pattern placement exist in each product; this means every single Dyno is one-of-a-kind.

Cherry Coffee defines a tumultuous romance: the highs and lows, no matter how far they may transport us from our intended destinations, remain deeply connected to ourselves and our interpersonal relationships with those we hold closest.
Designed by Brennan Hickey, he pays homage to “Cherry Coffee” (Prod. Jam City), the thirteenth and final track of Kelela’s critically acclaimed 2013 debut, Cut 4 Me. Glossy, synth-driven, and subtly ambient, the closer strings together the Maryland musician’s silky vocals with striking ease. “It’s a twisted cycle you’ve confused with love,” Kelela professes to her lover, if only to alleviate herself from a psychological purgatory. She admits she’s suffering, but she also knows she can only let go if the departure is mutual.
Brennan is the music and type specialist on our team. Three places we would find him: digging for vinyl, going out to see a show, or watching some morbid horror piece.

Alright nerds, what if Jim Shooter took on the Last Emperor? If you don’t know who any of these two are, we’d probably suggest you look at another Dyno for your collection. Yes, we are super fans of comic books and hip-hop. For our secret wars: this is our cut of peeps we would want to see duke it out in the ring.
As the Emperor said:
For all up-and-coming emcees, I’ve got a question:
If I made a 'Secret Wars Part 2,' would your name even be mentioned? Would you make the final cut? I make the nicest give their titles up.

She is 14 years old and a beast of a designer already, with an album cover for Your Old Droog, helping on a Wu-Tang project, and spotting photos of her with Biz Markie. This is a mash-up of her chicken scratch and art in the form of a digital mod podge. The youngest designer on the team, Special K Dyno, is not playin’.

As designers, artists, filmers & musicians, we value design as a vehicle of self expression & human achievement.
About the Labs
Rad Shyt Labs was founded by Dynamic Dynosaur and its small, elite crew of designers, artists and connoisseurs of music, the visual arts and surf scene nostalgia. The lab exists to curate and catalog the byproducts of physical and digital manifestations produced from the waste of knowledge consumption.
Designed with no concern about being misunderstood, and never designed in a vacuum of ignorance, we infuse authenticity and detail into every aspect of the experiments we create.

I collect a lot of random shyt. Sneakers being one of them, before that comic books and skate decks. I was hooked. True story: 2004 — my first day at Nike, I wore Vans to work… it was the only pair of shoes I had. My art director (Michael Leon) shook his head and said, “Yo, what's up with your feet?” I told him it was the only pair of shoes I had. He made me walk to the other side of Nike’s campus to meet some friends — Kevin Imamura and James Arizumi at Nike SB. Changed my life. Loved sneakers after that, but more important were the friendships I’d later make in the field, and a lifelong career in the footwear industry that I’m grateful for. Here are some randoms from the archive.
Enjoy,
Dyno

2944 Randolph Ave, Unit 5, Costa Mesa, CA 92626: Yuta and Yasuko run a little boutique called The Inconvenience Store.
It is a shop known for its quirky and unique selection of original apparel goods, dried flowers by Thumbs Up Flowers (Yasuko), imported bike gear, and Japanese drinks — I like Ringo (apple) soda, Ramune, and Oolong tea. Items I frequently look for are Teranishi Magic Ink, imported skate magazines, random Japanese vinyl imports, vintage reggae tees and artwork from the art shows Yuta hosts.
I’ve known Yuta, his wife & his two kids for ten years now, we have gone on surf trips, and family dinners. Their family is amazing. It’s impressive to see what this family has done together creating this amazing community that does art shows and hosts bike rides, he has a core following of die-hards. Memorable moments from their shop were being able to meet Haroshi, and scoring a Barry Magee, skate decks from Mark Oblow, and an original Thomas Campbell sculpture for the dojo. Worth visiting…? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY… always something weird to buy and the family is super nice, great people to know — tell them Dino the Dynosaur sent you.
Below is an evolution of The Inconvenience Store from its humble beginnings in Santa Ana to now Tokyo, Japan… Fuck Yea Yuta!!!

Oddrey II Pin
(AC-004)
$12.00
Beautiful with a bite. Our laboratory staff successfully crossbred a Dyno and a rose, two specimens from opposite spectrums (mega reptile and mini flora). The sharp teeth are a reminder to kill it at your craft.
Sittin’ on Chrome Dyno
(AC-012)
$150.00
Our designers successfully harnessed the same Cosmic Power that created the Silver Surfer superhero. We then infused this power into our Dyno Character, who’s now, as we like to say, Sittin’ On Chrome. The Dyno Character went from rags to riches, starting out as a tag in NYC before eventually harnessing the power of the cosmos.
Channel Island G-Skate in Watermelon
(AC-016)
$1500.00
We gave the infamous G-Skate Surfboard custom designs and features. Created by Rad Shyt Labs and Channel Island Surfboards, this custom, fast, skatey and responsive swallow-tailed hybrid in watermelon pink and green makes a loud statement in anyone’s quiver. We double-dog dare you to try it. Boasts 41.5 liters of float (enough for us lazy paddlers competing with mid-length crowds).
