Tokyo Report — PROV Skateshop’s ‘Prove’ Video

Any skater who has been to Tokyo has a story about walking into Prov. It is like stepping inside of an encyclopedia of small skate brands. If you live in one of the global skate centers and have a small-to-medium size brand, they have it; hell, they might’ve been the first account in Japan to roll the dice on it. At Prov, you’ll see brands that you can barely find in the States, whose drop schedule can be described as once every three months or three years. The knowledge that this crew has of what’s going on in the global skate landscape is truly unprecedented. And they’re down to pay the duties and import it across the globe.
