Our new capsule with Nike SB releases on Thursday, October 13 in skate shops worldwide. It includes a special, #lowkey colorway of the Bruin Hyperfeel, a heavyweight longsleeve pocket tee, and a Lamborghini of a wool coach jacket that exudes grown and sexy confidence. Thanks Ripped Laces for the love ♥
Skateboarding in 2016 is a strange place, and this early 2000s nostalgia is really hitting critical mass man. Whatever incarnation of Osiris still exists re-added Tyrone Olson and Peter Smolik to their team, a year after Smolik aired out the company for denying him a snow camo Navigator and pushing Slimer-colored footwear. “The Storm already passed homie, let’s get the hurricane on and the tornado.” I don’t know dude.
Jesse Alba put together an eight-minute montage that has some cool Max footage.

Got a good laugh out of the 5050 on the table attempt at Wall Street Gap. The new edition of Lurk NYC’s “New York Times” outtake reel is now live.
The Bunt’s new one is with Eggs mayor, Brian Delaney.
“Mitch Swongo and Associates” is the new one from the Western Mass boys, sure to get you feeling romantic about skating a high curb in a suburban bank parking lot. Includes Ben Bartle footage ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
They saved Black Blocks. Shout out Atlanta.
On that note, this video is legitimately a bit heartbreaking to watch at points. Chris Mulhern put together a recent montage of Philly skating, which includes footage of people skating the rubble left behind during the Love Park demolition.
Memory Screened did an remix vid of varial flip guy, Tim O’Connor.
“Danny Brady got NO swag. He’s also the team manager, so I’m probably gonna get kicked off for saying that.” Jenkem interviewed the perpetually viral Jamal Smith.
Here’s a chill “Summer Trip to New York” vid from Brixton’s BMT squad.
Kingpin has some photos of that Spanish plaza from last week, in addition to a full #listicle of the best skatepark in Europe that’s good for killing five minutes.
Yesterday, we were talking about how much American currency it would take for us to attempt a caveman boardslide on the rail that goes down from the middle stage at House of Vans. This guy crooked grinded it.
Is it weird this is my fav Gucci verse since he got out? It’s ~playful~ n ~silly~. Also, this came on shuffle the other day and its still sick. “No sneakers, I’m wearing creatures.”
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Basketball is back! Who throws a shoe?
Quote of the Week:
This part is way less ledge dance-y than I remember it. It’s more bump-to-cans and bump-to-fences than anything, and surprisingly #current in that regard. The song is still the worst rap song in a skate video ever unless someone skated to Wale.

Yo, straight up though, just skimmed through the iTunes archives of four Wale albums (and a few singles) and couldn’t find a track that allowed for legit skating to be a visual. As someone lyrically inclined to Wale’s music, it hurts but it’s true.
600 Benz?
That Philly montage is indeed heartbreaking. Something about the nighttime footage with all the holiday lights in the background is especially sad. I guess because it shows the bustling area around Love. Highlights how the park is basically about to die and the city just carries on. Also, leaving Tim O. off of the Varial Flip God list = the time the Source gave Illmatic less than 5 mics.

I count 5. Or is this another time?
