The first of two Nike SB quickstrikes has arrived. This Dunk Low pays homage to the legendary Wallenberg skate spot in SF. Designed with a pine green color after the palm tree at the spot, the Wallenberg Dunk has a hemp Swoosh and a picture of the actual palm tree covering the insole. You could also rock this Dunk coming up on St. Patty’s day if you wanted, it’s pretty green.

Come hang out with RVCA on the 20th of March. This Kenny Powers influenced tour should be a good one. Don’t miss it.

The highly anticipated Vans collab with Crooks & Castles and Acapulco Gold has finally arrived and it does not disappoint.

Don’t forget the last Vans X Crooks collab…..
“Art is what you can get away with”, the famous quote from iconic pop-artist Andy Warhol rings true with an authentic collaboation with skateboard company Alien Workshop. Each Workshop riders gets a pro deck with the Warhol treatment. These are pretty limited, as we were only allocated a few of each deck. And yes, we believe these are wall-worth.
March’s Nike SB drop is already here, and the brand-new Omar Salazar pro model shoe is included in two colorways. Built with cutting edge FlyWire Nike technology in the heelwrap, and including a seamless toe-cap, hidden stash pocket, and soccer-inspired outsole, Omar’s mid-top design is destined to be a great skate shoe. Also included in this month’s general drop are a clean Dunk High, and Premium Dunk Low, and a basic red/black/white Blazer. Also be on the lookout for a bright green Bruin any day now.

The long-awaited Lakai Mike Mo pro model shoe has arrived at VU. Mike hates vulcanized soles, so Lakai and Mike teamed up to develop the all-new XLK cupsole technology, reducing rubber and weight while still maintaining maximum board feel. We sold a few pairs of these straight out of the box, so don’t wait around it you gotta get ‘em. We’re also waiting a few days before we list them online so our local customers can get first crack at them.
