HEAT : Supra Skytop 2 Debut Colour Ups In Stock Now
It’s arrived. This thing is carrying so much heat. Muska is back for a second sitting, and we’re welcoming him with arms open. The Skytop II is defintely a Skytop, but it’s taller and slimmer than the last drop. They get higher and higher, and we’re definitely reaching for the Skytop II. It comes with a change up on the tongue design with the double pull holes and heel protection moulded into the high memory polyurethane sockliner. The Skytop II has got an exclusive Supra Foam® midsole taking the heat off the foot on impact and an internal neoprene sleeve for more comfort. Debut Colourways: Navy and Gold; Black suede;

The Nike SB Fluff Book Is Here
Yeah so its here and it is BIG and glossy. Fluff is a Skateboard Magazine from Holland. Nike SB have helped them make this monster of a read… Looks super good and you seriously need to be sat at a table or something to have a proper go at this thing. Loads of interesting images and copy, a truly great effort to bring together an altogether timeless international/euro skate masterpiece. Thanks NIKE SB for sending some copies over.
HUF / Supra Showroom - Shoreditch, London.
I got to meet James at Out Of Step today in person, turns out he’s got some heavy connections including some rad photographers. He showed me some new product for Autumn from The Hundreds, Brixton and HUF. Huf are bringing out a new footwear line later this year which is looking like a good thing for a debut footwear range. Usually first efforts are a bit of a joke but Huf knows about shoes so this is looking tight. I don’t get to show you the images yet, same goes for Supra, they want to keep it hush except for the ‘leaks’ on the bigger blogs.
Yeah, and Ben is downstairs with Supra and Krew. Supra have got the high tops cornered, new colour ups in Skytop 2 including Red Crackle TUF, and Blue version Skytop. There are the now staple gunny pack Vaider and Skytops which will be back in the line for later in the year. It seams Supra are holding back a touch on the volume but looking at some different fabric combos looking for the tones instead of taking it loud, good. Check Ben’s Penzance bin ollie. It was good to see where all the power moves are happening.

Visit To Work In Progress Showroom, London
The Work in Progress Office in London takes care of Carhartt, Pointer and Edwin brands in the Uk.
I spent most of the day there to view the new ranges for Autumn / Fall 2010. Gary made a pile on the floor of Carhartt items we thought looked good for Flatspot and then had a really good grilled Halloumi sandwich. Talking deep about local curb spots between size breaks.
Pointer are moving more of there shoes to their premium factory in portugal including the Cyril and Crago which are looking much improved both in terms of build and fabrics.
Edwin continue to expand and improve their non jeans range, i saw some waffle and knitted crews that i thought could work plus some shirts, still plaid but rad. For those who have seen the checks enough
there will be shirts in denim, oxford, chambray and other block colour cottons for the coming season too.

Adidas Pete Eldridge Superstar
Pete Eldridge is East coast. He quotes Gino and Keenan among his favourite skaters. Eldridge is definitely East coast. Adidas have dropped his shoe hard, and here it is - the Superstar reincarnate. Eldridge has been hitting up the Superstar since way back, so it made sense for him to run with it as his signature shoe. Pete’s version has slimmed down on design from the 80s original and reduced in bulk. PE detailing on the innersole, Eldridge running along the stripes and shell toe detailing, too.
Adidas Campus Hi Cardinal Red / Metallic Gold
One of the most iconic Adidas shoes of all time, but a hi-top. More shoe, more steez. We love this red, and we love the Adidas Campus Vulc High. Don’t get it twisted, remember this shoe is ready to be skated with vulcanized outsole for increased comfort, stability and board feel. Check the gold detailing and the PU sockliner. Up online now.
