Eric Koston is on Nike SB!

So, after being in limbo for nearly two months since leaving his most recent footwear sponsor Lakai, Eric Koston has finally been announced as the latest addition to the Nike SB team. After much speculation i guess really this is, deep down, what we all expected. Hopefully we’ll see an Eric Koston Nike SB pro shoe soon.

Nixon Rubber Player June Release

Out today the 3rd intallment of Nixon watches 4X4 rubber player. To recap, every month from april to July Nixon release a new colour of the Rubber player watch. the colours are kept stictly secret so we don’t know what’s coming until it hits the shops, pretty cool eh?! We had blue for April, red for May and this Months colour in the Nixon Rubber Player is green. This only leaves one more colour released on July 1st. I’m claiming yellow but your guess is as good as mine!

You can get these uniquw player colours either at nixon’s website or from participating stockists.

Well, we’ve seen the it pioneered by the Nike ID studio for the past few years with great success and now Nike turn their technology to Converse. The Converse One program some how seems better than the Nike ID program.

If you haven’t come across the Nike ID website, essentially you can colour up a shoe of your choice exactly how you like and add your own ID tag for ultimate personalization. This is a great idea from start to finish and we’re stoked that they have rolled it out for Converse. Whether it’s the combinations of colours or the styles offer we’re not sure, we just like it and think it suits Converse as a brand! Check it at for your self at the Converse website

Vans Era LX

The Vans Era shoe was the first shoe in the Vans range to feature the off the wall logo way back in the days of pool skating and fish tail boards. The Vans Era is an update of the “Authentic” featuring a padded collar, outside heel and the Vans classic waffle sole.

The Vans Era was made legendary in the world of skate shoes by Tony Alva and the Dogtown crew, subsiquently becoming skateboarding’s first shoe back in 1976. Over 30 years on and the Era is still an iconic shoe and this LX version of the shoe adds some new depth. Cool multi coloured red, yellow and blue colour blocking mixed with different material applications really set this Vans shoe appart from all its Era brothers.

Available now for around £37.99 – Vans Era LX

DVS and Almost skateboards have collaborated this spring summer to give us the Daewon CT Almost shoe. This is Daewon Song’s 10th pro shoe on DVS shoes and as always it’s looking nice.

This DVS shoe takes the basic black suede look but adds some really vibrant orange pop colour which works really well.
