The adidas EQT OG Materials Support Ultra silhouette is available with us now.

The EQT line was something of a resurrection for adidas upon its conception, it breathed some much needed new life into the brand with the three stripes and showed that they were able to evolve and elevate their offerings to a younger, more contemporary market. The line found itself at the top once again in recent years with the cultural progression towards a love of all things 90's being the perfect opportunity to progress the EQT legacy even further.

We have seen adidas do what they do best to this point, utilising modern day fabrications and technology and combining them with the DNA of archival silhouettes - maintaining the balance of contemporary construction and the core elements that made the EQT line a cult classic. For the adidas EQT OG Materials Support Ultra silhouette however we see the original materials used for the EQT line adorn the upper staying true to the heritage of the EQT line - of course it wouldn't be a modern day sneaker without a full length BOOST sole and we sure aren't complaining...

The colourway is one of our favourites to date and is most definitely a contender for your Summer rotation. A super clean combo of Clear Grey/ Footwear White covers the entire silhouette and provides the optimum canvas for a couple of hits of Bold orange to shine through on the 3-stripe side taping.

The adidas EQT OG Materials Support Ultra silhouette is available with us online now.

A Thrasher T-shirt and hoody re-stock is available in-store online online now.

Thrasher is more popular now than its ever been and you probably have your own opinion on if thats a good thing or not. You can't talk shit on a magazine thats been around 36 years though, 36 years and still being repped by the most credible heads in the industry and still giving back to skateboarding as much as possible.

To quote Phelps himself "We don't send boxes to Justin Bieber or Rihanna or those fucking clowns", Thrasher was, is and will always be the bible, it will always be the magazine for real skateboarding, the magazine for rebellion and the magazine for individuality in its purest form.

By this point the Thrasher T-shirt is most likely in your wardrobe, its almost obligatory. Consortium will always back Thrasher and what it stands for and we think that you should too, we've added a heavy re-stock of the cult classic Thrasher T-shirt in both long and short sleeve options with the latter available in Flame logo too.

In-store we have a couple of bits not on the website yet such as the Skate Goat Thrasher T-shirt and hoody.

The Thrasher T-shirt and hoody restock is available in-store and online now.

The Nike SB X WKND Blazer QS launches with us June 15th.

You know the crew you surely watched over and over back in the Rip N Dip days? Well, things didn't end so well over there. Thankfully the squad came through with a company of their own, a company they could be proud to ride for, that company is WKND.

Since their initial inception they have gone form strength to strength, currently boasting a more than decent team alongside some of the best graphics, a big feat in the over-saturated skateboard market of today. If you still aren't sure if you're backing the boys then just bear in mind that Koston went pro for them, and for a whole weekend no less. But seriously if it's good enough for Koston its good enough for you...

We see the fledging young brand make some serious moves with the Nike SB X WKND Blazer QS. A shoe collaboration is most definitely not something you get everyday, these guys deserve it and they've come up with one hell of a banger. When we heard that there was going to be a Blazer without that big ol' Swoosh on the side we were a little sceptical, but trust us when we say that the baseball inspired Nike SB X WKND Blazer QS is in a league of its own.

Super soft pebbled leather covers the upper and toe-box whilst we see the trusty small embroidered Swoosh on the side that you probably remember from the Team edition silhouette amongst others, this is a serious low-key banger and its finished with a Nike SB takeover of the WKND logo on the heel.

The Nike SB X WKND Blazer QS launches with us in-store and online June 15th.

The Helas Astro Turbo collection is available with us now in-store.

Continuing with another killer release under their quickstrike capsule format we see euro tech wizards Helas Caps come through with some lovely tracksuits, tees, hoodies and caps dubbed the Helas Astro Turbo collection.

To accompany the collection we see a lo-fi space themed lookbook showcasing the best bits from the Helas Astro Turbo collection.

It wouldn't be a Helas drop without some shell suit goodness and with the Helas Astro Turbo collection our tracksuit cravings are subdued with some heavy cut and sew pieces across the board. Medium weight ripstop fabrics are utilised for durability whilst the cuts stay pretty true to their 90's influences with boxy-ish jackets and loose fitting track-pants. Possibly the most interesting piece of the drop is the 'Big H' track top which features, well, a really big H on the front - and H is a great letter... Hardflips, hot dogs and Heather Graham all come to mind.

Alongside the shiny tracksuits we see some summertime essential graphic tees to don when the sun decides to come out, the umbrella logo adorns the back of a longsleeve whilst we see the three legs of the isle of man offer a nice little update on the classic Helas logo.

The Helas Astro Turbo Collection is available in our number 8 store now and online soon.

The Nike Air Uptempo White on White Pack releases with us tomorrow.

As the sun has finally decided to stick around for a bit longer than a few minutes it makes sense that we evaluate our sneaker rotation for the up coming peak summer months. Living in England where the weather is pretty dismal 80% of the time it's almost obligatory to end up with multiple pairs of blacked out sneakers by the end of the winter season, but now its' finally the time. The best time of year. The time to re-up on all white kicks.

Luckily for us Nike have come through with some summertime Swoosh goodness releasing the Nike Air Uptempo White on White Pack. Consisting of the Air More Uptempo '96, Nike Air Max Uptempo '95 and Nike Air Max 2 Uptempo '94 silhouettes theres something for everyone with this release, however the Air More Uptempo '96 really steals the show with this rendition. From its graffiti-inspired lettering to its bold, muscular lines, the sneaker truly captures the spirit of the '90s like no other, the silhouette has gained cult status and managed to find its way into a new generation of younger sneaker heads rotations off the back of the recent collaboration with New York's streetwear powerhouse Supreme.

The Nike Air Uptempo White on White Pack is available with us online tomorrow from 8am and in-store form 9am.

The adidas Originals NMD R1 PK Gum Pack is available with us now.

The brand with the three stripes come through with another hit of the 'Gum' colourway that graced the ultra comfy CS1 silhouette last month on the original NMD silhouette, the NMD_R1 PK. We see adidas' now infamous full length BOOST midsole offer a truly unrivalled combination of response and comfort paired with a fully engineered Primeknit upper resulting in a true modern classic.

The Gum Pack features the Core Black/Core Black/Gum4 and Footwear White/Footwear White/Gum4 colourways boasting muted knit uppers with White moulded eva plugs against a tonal rear moulded heel moustache, moulded lacing cage and three stripe side branding. If there was ever an NMD that should be in everyone's collection, it these ones.

The adidas Originals NMD R1 PK Gum Pack is available with us online now.

The Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid XT 'Donny' releases with us in-store and online March 4th.

Donovan Piscopo first popped up on our radars with his appearance in Jamie Thomas and Elissa Steamer's section in ZERO 'Strage World'. Albeighit a much younger Donovon, he was still oozing natural style way back when.

Fast forward a little bit and Donovon now kills it for Jason Dill and Ave's HOCKEY, so much so that Nike SB have given him his very own colour way dubbed the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid XT 'Donny'.

If you've seen Donovon skate you know the Nike SB rider needs a durable skate shoe. Nike went ahead and gave the Covina, California native their most durable take on the Nike SB Blazer ever created with the introduction of the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid XT 'Donny'. The details put together for the skate shoe combine a premium perforated black leather upper with responsive cushioning and a revamped toe cap.

The Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid XT 'Donny'launches with us in-store and online tomorrow at 8am.

Following on from the first adidas + KANYE WEST release of 2017 sees the cult sneaker return stronger in its cleanest rendition to date. The adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 Cream White releases with us Saturday April 29th in adult and infant sizing.

The adidas YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 features a cream white Primeknit upper, distinct center stitching, and heel tab. The silhouette has been teased through social media and has had an overwhelming response, with the summer season upon us it's just good timing to have a super-clean light rendition to match with that bleached denim you've been storing since last year.

We see all the technical elements we have come to expect, a semi-translucent rubber outsole and TPU sidewalls provide the distinct Yeezy Boot aesthetic while providing superior traction, while the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 midsole utilizes adidas’ innovative BOOST™ technology to create a durable, shock-resistant, responsive sole.

The infant shoe features a responsive all-rubber outsole, and a BOOST™ midsole, delivering superior traction and comfort.

The adidas Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 Cream White will retail for £149.99, the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 INFANT for £94.99, and both models Launch with us on April 29th, 2017.

All new adidas Originals NMD Summer colourways will release with us this Thursday 27th April.

The adidas Originals NMD City Sock silhouette or 'CS1' graces our shelves in two new colourways dubbed the 'Gum Pack', definitely a welcome addition to anyones new season rotation. We see adidas' engineered Primeknit fabrication adorn the upper executed with a lightweight wool knit in super clean Black and White colourways with a tasteful hit of Gum on the outsole. The unrivalled BOOST technology features on the full length midsole offering a sneaker that delivers exactly what you need at this time of year - comfort, function and breathability.

The second part of this heavy 3-stripe drop is comprised of the adidas Originals NMD XR1_PK silhouette featuring an all-over graphic knit upper dubbed the 'Zebra pack'. The style comes in two colour options, a clean Black and White staying true to the Zebra nickname and a more subtle Collegiate Navy rendition for those of you who aren't feeling brave enough for an all-over contrast print but still appreciate the more structured and supportive XR1 silhouette.

Rounding off this weeks drop is everyones favourite adidas Originals NMD R1_PK silhouette, we see this groundbreaking style executed in two 'Digi Camo' knit Womens colourways. For those of you looking for something a little more out there the 'Shocking Pink' option should have you covered, a classic punk-styled combination thats begging for a pair of washed out Black 501's to pair with. Again, if you're not feeling the vibrancy of the 'Shocking Pink' we see the more muted 'Sun Glow' colourway provide a welcome alternative, both styles are executed with adidas' signature Primeknit fabrication and of course the cloud-like full length BOOST midsole - the only problem for you boys out there is due to these styles being women's colourways we wont have a run of bigger sizes, you're just going to have to let your better half win this one.

The adidas Originals NMD Summer Colourways will launch with us in-store from 9am and online from midnight this Thursday April 27th.

adidas Originals brings a luxury material treatment to two essential EQT models this season for the EQT Milled Leather Pack.
