As summer rolls on so does the influx of new stuff coming into the shop. Today we just received two new colorways of CONS pro models from Nick Trapasso and my personal favorite Anthony Pappalardo. Both models feature TempurPedic MemoryFoam in the tongue and collar for maximum comfort and support, as well as Converse classic vulcanized sole for excellent board feel and zero break-in period. You can’t go wrong with either of these awesome shoes.

Along with the CONS above, we also received all-new hardgoods from Kayo Corp and apparel from Altamont. All Kayo brands are pro skater owned and operated with DGK being run by Stevie Williams, Organika run by Karl Watson, and ExpeditionOne run by Chany Jeanguenin, all of whom have been pro and paid their dues many times over. Kayo produces quality goods that we believe in here at the shop. All new Altamont apparel is perfect for the summer weather. As always thank you for supporting a skater owned & operated shop.

Summer is in full effect and all-new Vans just showed up today which are perfect for cruising around in during this awesome weather. First up in the shipment, are all-new Vans Half Cab and Era Pros. Vans Pro shoes have a more substantial pro insole as well as “SuperTuff” laces for durability but still feature the Vans Classic vulcanized sole for the most board feel and no break-in period. This shipment of Vans also includes the all new Spitfire/Vans Collaborative Pack, including an Era Pro and AV6. We also received a restock of your favorite Vans Classics including Half Cabs, Slip-Ons, and Old Skools. To go with this awesome shoe order we got a bunch of Vans Apparel as well including the Vans x Red Kap pants and much more!!!
