The Nike Hachi QS has a qwerky style of its owen combining elements from the Toki and Blazer models plus a hint of the old Sting runner. These two colourways also feature Nike vinatge tongue clamp labels and use the off-white sole wash to give a vintage yet up to date feel if that is not a contradiction in terms! Both colourways are available now.

We’re back! It’s 2009 and well, on your marks…. go!

After the holiday season full of turkey, booze and plenty of films you’ve seen a million times before but for some reason don’t seem to get old, there is nothing like the first day back at work to bring you crashing back to earth!

That’s why we decided to kick the new year off by showing you a quick preview of Nike SB‘s January release. 5 shoes two of which are the new style the Zoom air Veloce. The Veloce is introduced in two colours, white / black and black / white, featuring aspects of the Zoom Tre AD, like the sole and tongue, but with a different twist.

In addition to this we have Nike give us a new colou in the ever timeless Nike dunk hi with colours by Mai Do. The p-rod (paul rodriguez 2) gets the forest green and lemon drop treatment while the classic Blazer premium SB comes in a really smooth purple with white out sole, definately our favourate of the collection! The Zoom Air Veloce looks interesting and is not so classically skate, then again neither was the Zoom Tre and look how well that did!

December has been an interesting one this year, interest rates were cut again in the UK today leaving them at 2% and as of today there are only 21 days left till Christmas, dam it comes around fast! So, a lot of people may be splurging that extra cash on the finer things, and why not grab your self a pair of fresh kicks. The december range of Nike SB skate shoes should be in stores now which comprises of boulder / white Nike Blazer, black / atom red Nike Dunk SB, Baravetto Nike Dunk mid pro, sport red / white Nike Dunk hi,  grid iron / black Nike Rodriguez 2 and a back to the future inspired Nike Zoom tre in grey heather / natural grey. Get them on your xmas wish list pronto!

The latest in the Consolidated “Don’t do it” saga, which started in the late 90′s as a backlash to Nike‘s attempts to break into the skateboard industry, is a collaboration with Rome SDS. Rome’s Libertine boot was used in the project and exhibits the ever smile enducing banana swoosh with classic drunk colourways. Obviously this is a not so coincidental dig at Nike‘s appearance on the snowboarding stage. It will be interesting to see what conroversy ensues.

Converse seem to be the next mainstream shoe brand to enter the skate shoe arena, following in the footsteps of Nike, Adidas and RBK. These are set to debut at In4mation and then rolling out to selected skate stores world wide. Featured is the Pro Ox, Cons low-cut, premium white leather shredder. There’s no doubt it’s a clean looking shoe and expect more colourways in to emerge in the coming months. At this rate Timberland will be making skate shoes by Christmas!
