Lakai are celebrating the incredible 20 years of Chocolate Skateboards with a special commemorative shoe collection featuring art by Evan Hecox. Look our for limited edition versions of the Griffin, MJ, Fura and Camby Mid shoes out there this month.
To whet your appetite, Chocolate and Girl have also rolled out some accessories to quench your thirst with a selection of water bottles alongside a collab with Nixon, whose Bluetooth mini-blaster packs stereo sound and is water, shock and sand resistant. Out now.
Skaters of Leigh-on-Sea in Essex will be treated to top end donuts when a new skate shop called the June Store opens this month.
Leigh was famed for its beach front skatepark back in the early 90s due to a chin ramp style fascination of spined mini-ramps. It had us addicted for years as there was nowhere else like it in the country. This time the addiction will be sugar sweet due to co owner Joe Smith’s chef skills, who sees donuts as a dangler to pull people in to spend dough on their hardware and clothing. Apparently their flagship LOS Donuts will be made down the road and shipped in fresh for jammy customers every morning.
The new shop is also co-owned by Southend skater Andy Williamson and ‘gorgeous’ David Watson, whose knee injury has kept him out of the game for a while now. The trio plan to open on Broadway West on Saturday November 22nd. Look out for it if you are a dagger.
Johnrob Moore threads the eye of a needle in his full section from the A Happy Medium 3 video. Get some of this in your life. It needed 2 songs.
After much speculation of whether he would be joining various deck companies after the demise of Alien Workshop, news that Jake Johnson is now part of the Gonz’ amazing Krooked team is now official. Whilst you await his welcome clip that will inevitably drop soon, enjoy some lost footage of him and Sammy Winter that has appeared on the TWS site this week.
Look back with Danny Montoya‘s memories of filming his part in Adio Footwear’s “One Step Beyond” video. Topics include 9/11 and it’s effect on video popularity, doing tricks on film once and then never again, marathon lines, and not wearing Adio shoes except to skate in.
