They usually sell out within days of us getting them, but here are some of the new Girl and Chocolate New Era’s we got in earlier in the week. Probably the best batch of 59Fifty’s we’ve gotten from the Girl Skateboards family yet. Come in and scoop one if you want ‘em, it’ll be the last hit until October….
We have been getting tons and tons of new shoes, getting ready for back to school (believe it or not). The Lakai’s featured below are the long-awaited “reissue” of Eric Koston’s first pro model shoe, aptly named the Koston, in two colorways, the WWKD? (What Would Koston Do?) series that includes two Kost-One colorways and a Coda Hi, the Where the Wild Things Are Mariano 2 shoe, and two colors in Marc Johnson’s MJ2 Select.
Next up we have a cool new shoe from DVS’s Original Intent line, the Huf 5 Runner.
Next up is the latest shoe from Vans in their collaboration with Iron Maiden, the Piece of Mind Sk8-Hi. We’ve also restocked the earlier Sk8-Hi’s — the Killers and the Trooper.
Check out the pics below from our Annual Go Skateboarding Day Bash at Project 58. Thanks to all who came out and hung with us this year, and an extra special thanks to the 100 or so that lined up before we opened for a chance to get the free tee shirts (good thing Bob came through with an extra 90 or so DC shirts…). Also thanks to Bob Reynolds, Terrence Blake, and all at DC Shoes for helping make this event the best GSD ever, and thanks to Granger Clark from Volcom for coming out and hanging. See you next year.
We will be hosting a skate demo with the Foundation team on Sunday June 29th at a special time of 6pm. Scheduled to appear are Corey Duffel, Garreth Stehr, and Don Nguyen. Should be a strong demo and a one-time opportunity to see Corey and the guys rip Project 58. Mark your calendars now!
The Volcom Wild in the Parks contest was a huge success. Some serious ripping going on with the guys from Volcom even commenting on multiple occasions that the Open division was as good as they’ve seen!

Just a reminder that the Volcom Wild in the Parks contest is tomorrow. It’s FREE to enter and everyone who enters gets a goodie bag with a tee and other items. There are three divisions, 14 and under, 15 and up, and Open. Registration begins at 10am with the contest kicking off between 12:30 and 1pm. One more important note: if you’re under 18 bring a parent to sign the waiver for Volcom. Very important. We’ll also be feeding everyone FREE of charge.
Because of the contest the sessions at Project 58 will be modified. The first session will be from 10am to 12:30pm and will cost only $3 to skate. After the contest the session for the remainder of the day will be 1/2 price! Come out and support your scene and this cool event!
