90East – FW 2015/2016 Release
The 90East Fall/Winter 2015 Release is now available. The graphics in this release are based on the on the word ‘Native’ and the concept of not only being native to a place but also being a native of a particular thing, such as the street or BMX.
The first headwear item for this release is the Native Unstructured Hat featuring a graphic inspired by the American Indian that appears in the center of the Massachusetts State flag. The hat is constructed from a high quality cotton twill fabric and has an adjustable strap in the back. The second headwear item is the Harbor Beanie which is made from a warm acrylic knit and features the 90East logo woven label.
The first graphic item is the E.C.N. Tee shirt which features art inspired by the old Massachusetts Turnpike logo of a Native American arrow piercing though a Pilgrim hat which symbolizes the Natives standing up for themselves. The second graphic item is a pullover hoodie which features a handstyle by Boston writer CAYPE. This graphic was previously available on a tee shirt but we decided to bring it back for a run on a hoodie and long sleeve tee.
To keep you warm this winter we have the Humboldt Windbreaker which is made from a waterproof nylon and has a perfect fit that is similar to our hoodies. Simple, clean, and quality is the aim of this item. It features the 90East logo woven label on the left front chest.
Just because you ride BMX doesn’t mean you have to look like a scrub, with that being said we are introducing our first run of pants with the Dot Ave Chinos. The pants are slim fit and made from Midnight Black 100% Cotton chino fabric. They are available in waist sizes 30-36 with a 32 length on all. The branding is subtle with woven labels on the rear right pocket and in the waist.

90East “Public Property” Video
90 East is proud to present our third full length video “Public Property”, which wraps up the past two years of riding from the 90East crew in and around New England. The video features parts from Zack Cooke, Terrence O’Brien, Jake Frost, Brett Silva, James Meliota, Lino Gonzalez, Seth Ethier/Shane Byrnes, Abdul Fofanah, and Webster Jake, along with a friends section featuring local and international friends. The idea behind the name is the concept that street riding is based on being able to re-interpret the use of your surroundings, therefore making all property “Public Property”. We would like to thank everyone involved with this project and everyone who has supported and continues support 90East.
The video can be viewed on the main page of this site or on the “Public Property” page. For those of you that enjoy the hard copy form, we also have a limited edition DVD/zine combo available which features bonus footage not available online. Visit our online shop for more details.

90East – Jake Frost “Riding Around After Work”
Only a few in BMX get to concentrate full time on riding. The rest have to work to live and still find the time to ride. For Jake Frost that work is as a bicycle messenger in downtown Boston. Despite the full time hours and pedaling around the city all day in all types of weather, Jake still finds the time to enjoy riding BMX plus work on his part for the upcoming 90East video. In this edit we get a quick look at Jake doing his day job and then riding BMX in his off time which led to the name “Riding Around After Work”.
More details soon on the upcoming full length 90East video featuring Jake and the rest of the crew.
90East – Summer 2014 Release
The 90East Summer 2014 release is now available. For this season we have three tees and a five panel hat. First is the Culture Vulture tee which is a commentary on those who exploit a culture like BMX without a regard for the people or culture itself. Second is the Motion Blur Logo Tee which features a halftone image of a passing subway train under the 90East logo that represents constant motion of the world around us, in other words either keep it moving or get left behind. The third tee is the Lo-Fi Pocket tee which displays a hand drawn image of a broken VX camera and the phrase “Message Over Medium”, meaning the end result is always more important than the tools used. Finally we have the Utica 5 panel hat which has an unstructured fit and is a lighter weight cotton fabric that is good for the hot summer months. The hat also features a hand stamped 90East logo leather patch.
