NIKE SB Video "Debacle" Premier





Adrian gets "photo of the year"


Rolled through to Waiting room last night for the release of the new NIKE SB video called Debacle!
It was dumb cool...there were lots of amazing NIKE SB samples on show aswell..
Word is that a couple stores are gonna get their accounts hooked up soon:)!
Great atmosphere, rad people, free beer and good music!
The Debacle video is one of the first (if not THE) High-Def skateboard movie around and you could really tell the difference.
I was really interested to see what it would be like - having seen the previous Nike SB Video "Nothing But the Truth", which was good...but marred with a really bullshit sideline plot and things.
Debacle was 25 Mins of balls to wall, in your face skating, that was great to see in some a nice atmosphere.
Big Props to Adrian From SB for hooking us up and making it a great night for all...

Keep you eyes peeled as always!

"What the fuck are those???" Item of the Week

Nike Auto Force 180 Hybrid

NY METS/Knicks inspired colour strip


All Black version



now i try my best to not bite shit...
i don't particularly like to just regurgitate others blogs...but i saw these via Freshnessmag and bugged..
Now if you know me...you'll know I'm a kick-head..with a habit of the worst kind..
my real focus is the detail:
Charles Barkley iconic Air Force 180 that has been been reworked once before along with streams of dope Airforce Hybrids for the Anniversary..
but this time...
Completely remodeled and worked with those new-age materials and sheen.
and that blazer out sole KILLS it!
i mean come on!

I'm gonna try my hardest to get dope colour strips of these in the store...cos i know you kids will feel me on this..

Filthy (looking) sounds - METASONIX





Trent Reznor in his studio with racks full of Metasonix gear

My homie Triplet is not only a musical genius (true story)
He is also a man with great taste...
He sent me an image this morning of the TM-7 Vacuum Tube Module he`s being shipped by a company called METASONIX.
I am obsessed with the graphics on alot of their stuff and the writings on the website more than the brain-fucking amazingness of the gear itself...but im sure Triplet will show me soon...

1am-4am


Went and saw ALEX SMOKE last night at FICTION in Long Street...and i can say it was truly eye opening, euphoric and absolute fun!
So reminiscent - crazy days with great friends seeing top DJ`s in cities around the world...only this time it was in my very own city!!
The dance floor was heaving and alive...you could barely smell the sweat through the excitement!! (both were everywhere)
Smoke was bloody incredible!!
Such a progressive and unique sound...and his demeanor behind the box was pure cool!

Endless thanks to Alex and Fiction,
Special thanks to the Killer Robot guys for bringing such treat for the people, and constantly providing for our education and enjoyment, and as always, to the amazing people who were there for creating such a great atmosphere...
