#QSTOP10 — September 24, 2021

September 24th, 2021 · 12:00 am

Ok, every now and then, there’s a week when it’s I M P O S S I B L E to narrow one of these down to ten things, and this was certainly one of them. Around the deadline, there were 21 nominations on the board in the QS breakroom. No snubs were intentional, everyone’s suggestions are correct — just tried to get a variety of projects in here rather than let one dominate, seeing as how the past two weeks were dominated by the the DC x Sabotage video, and then by the Vans x Dime video.

Perfectly fine with nominating Mr. Shintaro Hongo for S.O.T.Y. That new part rules.

Clogging the Feed

Big news: the Dunk is out. We can stop clogging your social feeds now.

Have you heard the other big news? Everybody’s favorite skateboarder — yes, Keith Denley — is pro! At risk of not coming off absolutely insane promoting two collabs in the same week (we never planned for things to pan out that way, but c’est la vie), we took pause on pushing the new Hopps x Quartersnacks stuff, but it’s arriving at all Hopps accounts now. We’ll have it on our webstore soon. Whether Keith ends up filming *that part* remains to be seen, but in the eternal words of Mr. Hjalte Halberg: “You Americans are too serious about the pro board shit, in Europe you just turn the homie pro. Fuck it! It’s not about being ‘pro’ at skating. If you are a sick character, you should be pro!”

WEALTH is a new 17-minute video by Steve Lancello filmed all throughout the northeast, with a fire Neil Herrick part at the end. Is that the first footy of someone connecting a trick over the concrete divider on that that side street off Flatbush? Feels like an Aaron Herrington spot too, but maybe misremembering.

#QSTOP10 — September 17, 2021

Happy 9/17 day! After your countdown perusals, please do yourself a favor and revisit Mr. Lara’s seminal 2017 masterpiece in honor of the date.

A lot of rewinds this week! But that’s because there are a handful of Barcelona tech lords showcased, thanks to Yoryo’s PALIQUE video that went live on Free right after #QSTOP10 press-time last week. Said it on Twitter, but it’s worth repeating for the non-Twitter crowd: the whole world goes to skate Barcelona, but nobody comes even 1/10th of the way close to skating Barcelona as good as the locals do.

Otherwise… Dime, Dime Dime.

The QS Dunk arrives in shops this weekend. We’ll have a couple new items going live in the webstore at 11 A.M.

But Make It Fashion

September 13th, 2021 · 12:00 am

Ok, let’s try this again: The Quartersnacks Nike SB Dunk Low Pro will be available at skateshops in the U.S., Canada + Europe on this Saturday, September 18. We will not be selling them on our webstore. Some other territories have already began selling them. We will be giving some pairs away on QS social channels — stay tuned. We will have a small round of new mainline QS items going live in our webstore at 11 A.M. E.S.T. on this Friday, September 17. (That stuff is also available through a select batch of U.S. shops.)

In the meantime, shorts + some other summer stuff is on sale in the webstore, so stock up for your warm winter getaway ;) thanks everyone for the support.

There’s no way you haven’t seen the Dime x Vans video yet, right? Hugo Balek = Jake Johnson. Ben Blundell… 🎶 That Ben is a real crowd pleaser 🎶

~*Keep video blogz w3ird*~ The fifth installment of Josh Paynter’s Monday Links-fave video blog series continues to focus on the weird spots in this city (+ Soho curbs obvs.) Shout out to everybody not skating the same shit as the rest of us — it’s a lot of work.
