Great NYC Skate Video from 5Boro. Join, Or Die

Join or Die.

5Boro has put together a solid NYC skate video with film shot exclusively in the concrete playground of Gotham.  Some of us don't remember the last skate video that came out that was not entirely based on one trick shots.  Join, or Die created by our friends at 5Boro stitches together some great lines and reminds us what street has to offer.  Enjoy all 25 mins. 

The Big Red Skateboard By Solitary Arts



Solitary Arts has unveiled their first skateboard the Big Red.  The deck has a unique retro design that incorporates some of today's deck updates like nose rocker and concave.  Overall it's a poppy little cruiser skate that will be a little different than what every kid and their mom is pushing.  The board has a fun grip-tape job in the shape of a foot (very Hang Tenish) and also has a super groovy hit of Geoff McFetridge's art.  Solitary Arts is switchin' it up with the Big Red.

The Emerald Collection By Element

Skate apparel brand Element continues their jaunt into the footwear realm with their brand new Emerald Collection.  The Emerald Collection features three styles, the high Hampton Boot Elite, the lower Hampton Elite, and the Marlow Elite.  All these kicks are made from ultra durable leather and feature some fancy beads that garnish the laces.  Element's Emerald Collection also features apparel so check the entire line out at your local skate shop.

Skate Toy Soldiers By Steve Nishimoto (6 Pics)

These aren't your typical toy soldiers that you used to encircle with M80's and subsequently blow the fuck up.  Steve Nishimoto is putting his own skate inspired spin on one of the best known toy action figures ever produced with these Skate Toy Soldiers.  We're not sure if these make skate not war inspired toys are available for sale however, Steve is a creative guy and I'm sure you'll be able to get your grubby mitts on them eventually.

Supra Cuban Kicks

Supra is adding a few new colorways to their Cuban kicks.  They look pretty fresh and have some ever important color pop on the insole and outsole.  You have to do something like that these days because skate shoes are getting increasing more bland by the minute.  Solid new kick's designs are more hard to come by than a politician that actually does their job.  (Yep, I just worked some political frustrations into a skate shoe post... aren't you proud)

Tea-rrific Colab: Skate Decks & Tea Sets

Probably the oddest colab I have ever come across is this one between Carnhartt and Lovenskate.  This skate brand and English e-comm store decided to pair a skate deck and tea set... Tea-rrific.  Enjoy hitting the park then grabbing a cup of hot tea.

Steve Caballero x Cukui Art Show (8 Pics)

Over the weekend skate legend Steve Caballero made his way up to San Jose based Cukui to be featured in an art/ hot rod show.    The show featured multiple works by Steve, including several painted decks.  He's got a solid rockabilly style with Americana flavor.  The hot rod show was overflowing with slammed, scraping rides that complimented Steve's work.

Vans Vault Authentic One Piece LX (13 Pics)

If you didn't get your fill of pigskin this past weekend you may want to strap these kicks on your little piggies.  The Vans Vault is releasing the all pigskin One Piece LX a continuation of their ridonkulously successful Authentic line.  Pick up these porkers starting in April at Vans Vault dealers.

Apparatu ‘Ceramic Skate Fails’ Collection

Spanish designer Alex Trochut is putting an artistic spin on the old kick push skateboard.  Most of the pieces in his Apparatu collection look as though they were melted or at very least sat on by Kim Kardashian... The pop colors and ceramic work is reminiscent of MOMA exhibits in fine cities everywhere.
