  • Vans Skate Classics 'Blackout Pack'

    Like a mighty phoenix rising from the ashes, Vans Skateboarding introduces their revolutionary Skate Classics, iconic Vans silhouettes re-engineered for modern skateboarding with enhanced technology and durable materials. Without risking their legendary aesthetic, the Vans Skate Classics shoes are developed from the previous Pro Classics, built from the ground up with progressive tech features to perform under skateboarding’s strenuous demands whilst ultimately still feeling like a Vans skate shoe. The first iteration of the Skate Classics is the Blackout pack exclusive for core skate shops which is comprised of their renowned styles, including an Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Slip-on, Era and Authentic.

    Distinguished by their subtle yet recognisable checkerboard flag and new Vans Skateboarding heel tab, the Vans Skate Classics provides skaters with intuitive technology while continuing to honour their skateboarding heritage. The upper pattern and heel counter have been fully modified to help improve skaters fit and comfort, new tongue-straps that help keep the tongue in place, and a revised DURACAP underlay that is more breathable but still retaining the durability where skaters need it the most.

    Vans has also manufactured a tougher, updated toe knurl pattern and two-part foxing for better grip and enhanced resilience. The Skate Classics continue to impress with a redesigned gum rubber sole that is comprised of their SickStick rubber formula for better grip and POPCUSH sockliners for improved cushioning and impact protection. All these technologies help improve boardfeel and ultimately help the shoes last longer while retaining Vans’ influential style and upholding their skateboarding legacy.

    The Vans Skate Classics 'Blackout Pack' is available with us online now!

  • Last Resort AB

    Last Resort AB is the latest lovechild from Malmö’s own skateboarding mogul, Pontus Alv, with one goal in mind, to tackle skateboard footwear once and for all. Unhappy with the aesthetics and ultimately, the feel of modern skate shoes, Pontus set out to perfect this without the help of corporate backing. Last Resort AB aims to take back the very industry that skaters built, as the days of skater-owned businesses steadily declines with the rise of corporations dominating the industry.Breaking free from corporations, Alv had complete creative freedom to conceptualise the first silhouette from Last Resort AB, christened the “VM001”. With the mantra of “intention to detail”, every intricate feature has been painstakingly crafted to ensure a snug fit with a simple, classic look and ultimately merged with a vulcanised sole to become 'AKA' the perfect skate shoe. The shoe checks all of the boxes without comprising his vision for Last Resort AB. The unyielding demands of Pontus have fabricated one of the freshest takes on a skate shoe for as long as we can remember.

    Being no stranger to the clothing industry after taking the skateboarding world by storm with the creation of Swedish industry giant Polar Skate Co., Pontus injects his signature energy & distinctive art into Last Resort AB’s apparel collection. Featured prominently on all of the various styles of clothing and accessories, the eyes and globe illustrations amplify the fun outlook of the brand without losing sight of their mission statement. With clean graphic hoodies and embroidered sweatshirts sculpted for skateboarding in mind, Last Resort AB not only scrutinises its shoes on the search for perfection but with their clothing line as well.

     

    With a heavy hitting team persistently expanding with Frog’s Chris Milic to Ludvig Hakansson and with Nick Rios joining the ranks, these additions only continue to strengthen Last Resort AB’s team. From the streets of skateboarding paradise Copenhagen to the rough terrain of London’s South bank, Last Resort AB has already planted itself as a force to be reckoned with.

    We are exclusively offering the full collection from Last Resort AB a week ahead of launch via our releases platform! Head over to Consortium Releases for an opportunity to view and purchase the latest product from Last Resort AB - draw closes next Friday 15th January at 12:00 hrs GMT.

  • Nike SB x Kevin Bradley 'Kevin and Hell Pack'

    Nike SB x Kevin Bradley 'Kevin and Hell Pack' releasing with us online Saturday 30th May at 8am BST.

    After four years with Nike SB, Kevin Bradley has worked with Nike's design team to create the upcoming "Kevin and Hell Pack", his debut to the Orange Label. Bradley has opted for heaven and hell versions of his favourite shoe to skateboard in, the Nike SB Blazer. The heavenly  Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low AC XT ISO, is wrapped in fluffy cloud swooshes and the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid ISO is covered in a red velvet which is hellishly plush. Hailing from Los Angeles, Kevin Bradley is known for his laid back nonchalant skate style and his love of dogs. 

    Bradley’s Nike SB Blazer Low AC XT ISO is constructed with a soft sky blue suede upper, a white toe box and black toe cap. Fluffy white cloud swooshes wrap around to a white leather heel moustache embroidered with a tonal blue water droplet. "I really like the rain, my grandma really liked the rain, so I wanted to make it look like a cloud and they came out pretty hard."

    The Blazer Low AC XT is designed with velcro straps offering an easy, personalised fit whilst reminding you of heavenly innocent days when even shoelaces were too complicated. “I like the velcro straps, sometimes I’m really lazy and I don’t like to tie my shoes. Sometimes I don’t even strap the velcro! You gotta be comfy.”

    The straps lay over a padded white tongue which, in classic Nike SB blazer fashion, is attached internally with elasticated sides. Not only are these shoes easy to velcro on, there will be little movement in the tongue, keeping the skate shoes securely in place when you're on the board. The tongue also has Nike KB branding that can be found on all items in the "Kevin and Hell pack", a play on the SB logo. A black padded collar gives way to an insole covered in blue and white cloud graphics. The Blazer Low AC XT has been designed with white foxing and blue herringbone outer sole, aiding grip and durability.

    The Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid ISO has an upper and toe box constructed of red velvet, and black swooshes, the lavish materials and deep colours are inspired by the Sith Lord, Darth Maul. "Darth Maul is my favourite Star Wars character. So I always wanted to do a red and black shoe, like Darth Maul".

    A black mesh heel moustache is embroidered with the yellow and red Iris and deep black Pupil of the Sith eye. Flat black laces lie on a mesh padded black tongue, again with Nike KB branding and elasticated attachments.

    Inside a leather padded collar sits above a foam inner sole, which covered in a black tattoo style graphics, is another shout to Kevin's favourite Star Wars character. The padded inner sole, zoom technology keeps the shoe comfortable whilst a grippy vulcanised outsole provides great traction helping you skate right up to the gates of hell.

    Alongside the skate shoes, the pack also comes with clothes, a tee, shorts and a shirt, all inspired by his dogs, who you can follow on Instagram...

    The trio of clothes includes an Oracle Aqua Nike SB x Kevin Bradley Shirt designed with Dri-Fit technology, remixing a classic shirt with 90s stripes. This 100% cotton shirt will keep you cool all summer. NIKE SB X KEVIN BRADLEY SHIRT 'KEVIN AND HELL PACK' (ORACLE AQUA)

    Bradley has put his twist on classic cargo shorts with an all-over dog embroidery. Made with Dri-Fit technology in stretchy woven fabric and a mesh pocket to securely keep your phone in place the Nike SB x Kevin Bradley Cargo Shorts are perfect for skating in.

     

    This loose fit Nike SB x Kevin Bradley T-Shirt matches the shorts perfectly, made of 100% cotton and embroidered with a dog, again a little nod to Bradley's four-legged friends. A patch on the back has Nike KB branding.

    Nike SB x Kevin Bradley 'Kevin and Hell Pack' releasing with us online Saturday 30th May at 8am BST.

  • All New Nike SB Dunk Pro

    Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Shoes


    Nike SB have this week released the all new Nike Dunk Pro SB with an in-store only low top in a Bison/Varsity Purple colourway designed by Theotis Beasley.

    The Dunk originally debuted as a basketball shoe way back in 1985 but was quickly adopted by skateboarders as it's construction and materials perfectly suited their needs.

    The Dunk, without doubt, has become one of the most iconic and influential skate shoes of all time and it was no wonder that the style became the cornerstone of the Nike SB range when launched back in 2002.

    So to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the SB Dunk, Nike's athletes and design team have scrutinised the shoe and completely revamped it to add comfort, support and withstand the rigours of modern day skateboarding.

    The shoe's silhouette hasn't changed and at a casual glance, the Dunk appears the same. However under closer examination (and once it's on your foot) the updates become more apparent...

    THE UPPER - features a simple but effective hidden lace system offering lace protection, and a turn and stitch toe that adds durability.

    A REDESIGNED OUTSOLE - offers more grip and the cupsole has been cored out (reducing weight and bringing the foot lower to the board). A 'Phylon' midsole has replaced the original EVA wedge and it's light, flexible and offers more cushioning.

    INTERNALLY - seams near the toe have been moved to eliminate pressure points and heel lining pods have been added to enhance the fit and prevent heel slippage.

    The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Premium in Bison/Varsity Purple is available (in limited numbers) from our Bournemouth store.
