Check the video below for a sneaky peak at the new Koston 1 revamp by Lakai, as designed by Scott Johnston.
Everyone knows this was one of the best skateshoes ever made when it first came out under Es Shoes, so hopefully Lakai will do it justice and make it just as good if not better.
2008 is looking up for Etnies Shoes who have added Sean Malto and Mike Taylor to the team this week.
Both riders have huge talent, Etnies are looking forward…expect big things.

Pierre-Andre Senizergues, head honcho for the likes of Etnies, Emerica and eS Shoes has teamed up with fellow skateboarder, Gil Le Bon de Lapointe to create the latest buzz in modern furniture, the Skate Study House.
With references to classic designers such as Isamu Noguchi, Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson, these guys have put their twist on modern living by constructing their inspired reproductions out of skateboards. This might inspire a few people to make use of those old decks and wheels kicking around the garage, especially if you need a new coffee table and fancy having tailblocks on it.
The City of Edinburgh in Scotland finally has an indoor skate park to be proud of.
Located in the top level of the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, Transgression has now opened after much wait for local skaters and covers 9020 sq ft floor space. It also has views out across the Forth Estuary and the Royal Yacht Britannia probably making it the highest skatepark in the UK.
Graham at Focus Skateshop in Edinburgh told us on the phone that ‘by all accounts it’s pretty well done and not as BMX orientated as you would think, respect must go to all that made it happen locally but I guess it’s just a shame it took private money for it to happen – hopefully it will bring more skaters to Edingburgh and the local council may want to get involved next time’.
Transgression is open now and can be found at www.transgressionpark.co.uk – check
www.focuspocus.co.uk for their up to 75% sale before it’s all gone.
There’s no kiddie steez when it comes to Robbie Russo.
