You don't need to be a boarder to buy this Asteroids Softshell jacket from Burton, but you do need 250 spare clams to lay down. I'd have snapped it up if it came in sizes other than XL.
Looks like game-themed gear is moving up the clothing quality chain. Yesterday: Hot Topic. Today: Burton. Tomorrow: Prada?

That's almost as ugly as those shirts with dragons, anime, or comic book (spiderman) characters on them.

I actually saw the host of Extreme Makeover sporting this jacket. It looked... interesting to say the very least.

I found this t-shirt to be better.

Burton wasn't really allowed to call it an 'Asteroids' pattern, it's called 'War Games' if you ask them about it... It came on a vest, and a few jackets and shells. It's sick no matter what you call it.
Plus, I really am not one of those guys to say, 'That's soooo old,' but I do bring it up in this case because if you want it, you should know it came out last fall and it's nearly vanished from the Burton store here in NYC... Might start getting hard to find.

I'm usually not one to sport video game clothing, but these burton war game prints are sick. They even have backpacks:

I have the Burton AK Down jacket with this "War Games" print. The best part about is the people I would never expect to know what is come up to me in the street and say "Is that an Asteroids jacket?" It has been a real good conversation starter. And most people who don't know what it is just think it looks like snowflakes.
