Our shipment of Nike's January QS looks like it will be here next week. Possibly on the 9th. If that's the case, we will release them on friday the 10th. We will update you on the specifics once we get closer to their arrival, but until then, check out the story of the shoes from the Premier site: "Premier's latest project with Nike SB is built for the tough winter season and provides warm blankets of sky grey synthetic wool from the vamp all the way up the tongue.  This weather-resistant material continues across the toe wrap, lace panel and collar in a dark charcoal color that frames in the black night leather mid panel.  Much like winter nights, the dark shapes are contrasted by bright sheets of snow, as seen on the white leather swoosh, reflective Petoskey print back panel and reflective laces.  To top off the winter theme, the shoe features an icy blue sole, and Petoskey printed insoles. "

This shoe looks to be a very complete offering with all that detail. We can't wait for them to show up. Image and description courtesy the Premier website.

What's more appropriate for a "Black Friday" shoes release than a Black shoe? That's exactly what we have in store! Nike SB has teamed up with the artist Neckface for another release featuring the upcoming video release of the "Chronicles 2". This is a black suede dunk high premium with the names of the team riders in the video embossed in the leather. The result is a unique pattern that is subtle but ties nicely into the other past release of Chronicle 2 shoes. There are a couple of yellow hits on the tongue and center of the outsole that tie into the yellow backing of the black suede heel anchors. The yellow backing also features the same print pattern of the team rider names. The outsole is clear ice that allows you to view the "Nike SB" logo that can be formed when both shoes are placed next to each other. The alternate lace color is white. 

We received a very small run of these. They will be available on a first come, first serve basis on Friday, November 29th at 11am. 

Also for Black Friday:

• All regularly priced street wear 15% off. 
• All regularly priced shoes 10% off(excluding the Chronicles 2 Quick Strikes mentioned above).

We will be open Friday, at 11am. Have a great Thanksgiving, and see you friday!! 

Today marks the arrival of our first Quick Strike Snowboard Boot from Nike. This particular boot is a collaboration with local portland based company, Poler. It features their "Fuzzy Camo" print on the tongue and their cyclops logo on the toe panel, and a special multi color sweater style liner. The materials on the toe box have a buttery soft feel, and the materials on the side panel and cuff have a nice contrast play between a pebbled finish underneath and a soft matte finish on top. This is a well executed boot that not only ties into Poler's aesthetic well, but will appeal to those that might not know much about Poler as a brand, but are looking for a comfortable boot with a unique look. These boots are limited in production numbers and distribution. 

Our first shoe to arrive for the month of November is this very detailed Dunk High SB Premium "Send Help 2" in Black/Mortar/Dark Raspberry. Some of you might know of the Send Help brand by Todd Bratrud, the designer of this color way. Todd and Nike SB have collaborated several times in the past and he is most well known for his work with several skateboard manufactures including Consolidated, Birdhouse, Flip, Creature, Black Label, Enjoi, and more. His art is instantly recognizable and this shoe celebrates that. 

The heel of each shoe is adorned in a very soft elephant print suede with the embroidered words, Send Help. The tongue label also features the same branding. The insole art matches the shirt graphic that also released and ties in nicely with the accent color of the outsole. Three colors of laces are included with the shoes so there are plenty of choices for how you can customize the look. 

On another note: We will be re-releasing the remainder of our mandarin  Digi Floral Janoskis tomorrow November 2nd to coencide with the national launch date. If you weren't able to get your pair before, stop on in and pick up a pair. 

Our shipment of the third and final of the Nike SB premium Janoski digital floral quick strike pack is here in the shop and ready to go. This color up features black, grey and orange in the familiar digitized floral pattern. They are available now in the shop on a first come first serve basis. 

Yes, it's the middle of October, but we just got our non-quick strike order of Nike SB shoes. In this group we see the Made for Skate Dunk Mid Premium, the New SB Lunar Gato and of perfect winter color up of a Janoski.

These were designed by the people behind "made for skate". You can check their website here. This Mid feature the Made For Skate tongue tag, a metal SB tag on the ankle strap end, and extra thick canvas with custom camo print. 

For years people have been skating the Gato even though it wasn't a skate-specific shoe. Now SB has taken that shoe and added features to make it skate even better. The Lunar Gato SB features the low profile and skatable last of their well known indoor soccer shoe, with a Lunarlon Midsole for great impact support, and improved abrasion resistance through a special PU coating in key wear areas. The inside of the heel also has a grippy suede around the Achilles area to help keep your foot locked in and to prevent slip. 

This is a great color up of a Janoski for people that want a little bit of color, but are still cognizant of the wintery weather we have coming. Not too dark and not too bright. 

Also on the delivery truck today: a Restock on a couple of Welcome Skateboards models we sold though as well as a couple of new shapes and graphics.
