Two surprise Nike SB Quickstrikes showed up to the shop today. Both shoes are inspired by the popular TV show LOST. First up is the Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 SB Dunk Hi Pro. This Dunk's colors are inspired by the fictional Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 plane that crashes which gives the base storyline of the show. The insoles of the Dunk feature sonar readings of trying to locate the lost plane. The second quickstrike that showed up is the DHARMA Initiative Blazer SB. This shoe bases it's colors off the DHARMA Initiative Jumpsuits worn by characters in the show. The back label SHOE comes from everything being labeled what it actually is in the show (e.g. FOOD, WATER, BEER). As always with quickstrike shoes, these are super limited so get em before they're gone! Oh, and speaking of Nike SB, make sure you check the Nike SB site this Monday, as part II of the Don't Fear The Sweeper Tour Video will be posted, featuring footage from their stop in Buffalo!




Also new in the shop are Anthony Van Engelen's newest pro model on Vans, the AV6. AVE's new shoe takes one of the best toe design's in skateboarding from the Vans Classic Era and meshes it with the classic look of the Vans Old Skool to create a new timeless, functional skate shoe. These shoes also feature Vans Ortho-Lite insoles for optimum support and comfort. Also be sure to check out the Spring 2010 Real catalog over at DLXSF. Oh, and for anybody wondering what's been going on with the progress of a public skatepark in the city, make sure you check out this article over on the Buffalo News. Thank you to everyone who supports the shop & skateboarding!

When we opened up the shop today, we were greeted with the delivery of a shipment of brand new Nike SB shoes. This shipment includes a classic timeless Dunk Mid Pro SB colorway, a new colorway in the SB Bruin (as seen in Cory Kennedy's Welcome to Nike SB ad), an all-new Zoom Stefan Janoski colorway in a leather upper making for a more substantial and durable shoe, as well as new Blazer SBs, and last but least Zoom Air Paul Rodriguez IIIs. Speaking of Nike SB make sure you follow this link to check out Part 1 of their Don't Fear the Sweeper tour video. The last clip is Justin Brock hanging out in the Marshall's parking lot here in Buffalo, possibly a hint we may see Buffalo footage in Part 2? Oh, also check below the photos for details on an awesome sale that we're running!!





As I mentioned above, from now through the remainder of the month of January, we are going to be running a DEEP FREEze SALE.

This Friday, January 8th we have a couple anticipated videos coming into the shop. First up is the Girl/AntiHero Beauty and the Beast 2 tour video. This one is sure not to disappoint with some standout skating from familiar faces (Brian Anderson, Eric Koston, Julien Stranger) from the last tour as well as some fresh ones (Chris Pfanner and Vincent Alvarez). We also have a restock of the February 2010 issue of Thrasher Magazine. Sunday/Nike SB team rider and Skate Mental am Dan Plunkett has a photo in the Nike SB "Unleashed in the East" article. The mag comes with a free hour long dvd, with full parts from Sammy Baca, David Gravette, Devin Apello, Nick Trapasso, and Andrew Allen. Make sure to keep an eye out for Sunday team rider and Real Skateboards am Jake Donnelly's footage in the "Skate & Destroy" Real team montage in the video! Definitely the best way to spend 4 bucks in 2010! Thank you and we hope you all had a great New Year's!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday, the chance to relax and appreciate the little things doesn't come by too often so you have to take advantage of it when it does. Tons of things have been going on, for starters our very own Jake Donnelly has a full interview in the February 2010 issue of Skateboarder Magazine. You can check out the photos from the interview on our front page. Jake also has footage in the new adidas skateboarding SF web video. Also, in other magazine news Sunday/Nike SB team rider and Skate Mental AM Dan Plunkett has a 2-page photo in the February 2010 issue of The Skateboard Mag. You can check that out on the front page as well. Speaking of Nike SB and our front page, if you happen to get the new Wieger enjoi ad when you visit the shop site, that's no mistake. That photo was shot in the Anchor Bar right here in Buffalo right after JP bought those guys one of the infamous Anchor Bar Chicken Wing hats. As luck would have it, it is now the current enjoi ad. Last but not least, it looks like friend of the shop/Skate Mental pro Brad Staba gave us a shout-out over on the Skate Mental website in the news section. Thank you everyone and have a very Happy New Year!

Some awesome new Adidas shoes have shown up, right in the nick of time! This shipment of Adidas includes a new colorway of the Dennis Busenitz Pro. The insole on these Busenitz shoes, features artwork by the artist Delfi. Also, new to the lineup is the Adidas Original Skate. The Skate is Adidas original skate shoe from the 70s and has been been reintroduced to their line. As you can see with the popularity of vulcanized sole among skateboarders, and shoes like the Skate, skate shoes have come full circle. Also in this Adidas shipment, a restock of the classic Black/White Campus Vulcs and a new colorway of the Campus Vulc Mid. As anybody who has/is skating Adidas knows they are great right out of the box skate shoes, with super good board feel, grip, and durability. Happy Holidays!
