Etnies Malto
This kid’s got it all, talent, style, smiles and now his very own skate shoe on Etnies. I wasn’t surprised when Etnies announced a Malto model to be honest, he is probably one of the best up and coming skateboarders out there. I’ve had the pleasure of road testing these lately and firstly the shoe has a decent appearance but under the suede lies a variety of tech – I guess this symbolizes the Malto brand quite nicely.
The low profile design feels loafer like, but the reinforced toe cap and triple stitching makes this chiller quite a tough cookie and should leave you rather happy when your feet come up against the usual griptape durability we all endure. In the heel you have System G2 Platinum which counter acts with impact to keep those bruises at bay over the summer months. The STI molded polyurethane footbed and double wrap vulc soles make for a comfortable and reassuring ride, a simple formula that any skate shoe should have!
If you combine all these elements and push them into super slim and lightweight shoe, then you end up with stellar results and that’s pretty much Etnies have achieved here. He’s one of the good ones, so I’d definitely invest in these if they are your cup of sole.

Tweak Bird announce UK Dates
With their debut full length just around the corner, Tweak Bird will arrive on our shores next month to play a handful of UK dates. Having wowed audiences back in 2008 with their performance at ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas event, these promise to be some incredible shows.
While only a two-piece (consisting of brothers Caleb and Ashton Bird plus additional touring member John McCowen) Tweak Bird still manage to make an almighty racket. Although at the band’s core are Sabbath inspired riffs and pounding drums, they also bring a huge range of unusual instruments to the table – from Theremin to flute, saxophone and gong.
Needless to say, their live show is not to be missed, and their tour stops in the following cities;
12th – London The Gaff
13th – Brighton The Great Escape
21st – London Stag & Dagger
22nd – Birmingham Capsule
23rd – London Brixton Windmill
