Vans Vans and Vans, it’s the shit right now, it’s been the bomb since 1966. It’s hard to avoid it, come on now, agree with me, it’s the most classic footwear brand from the US and again, agree with me, if your outfit doesn’t fit Vans classics, there must be something wrong with it. I know for a fact that heads that work at stripes and the swoosh also wear Vans. If the big corporate allow them to wear whatever they want to wear, you would see more Vans around plus…wouldn’t it look more appealing if designers were allowed to wear whatever they wanted t...Read more
It went back to the year 2002 when the OG, the real Zoo York team came to Hong Kong (Jeff Pang, Eli Gesner, Todd Jordan, Danny Supa, Anthony Correa, Forrest Kirby, RB Umali and the young Zerred Basset) came to Hong Kong for their first time, it was a good time. Heard a lot of crazy New York OG skateboarders stories from Harold Hunter ‘R I P’ to Jumonji to this guy Dave, they called him crazy Dave. Jeff was telling me that Dave was a very cool cat but crazy and told me that I had to meet him.
Now, Zoo York’s changed, I s...Read more
HUF aka Keith Hufnagel is one of the pioneers of street skateboarders.
Originally from the East he moved to Frisco to pursue his dreams! He used to be recognized not only by his amazing fast skateboarding with pop for days but also that mushroom blonde hair that he rocked on the daily.
Keith opened up a sneaker shop in San Francisco called HUF and from all the respect he received and his skateboard background, HUF has been collaborating with many respected sneaker brands out there. Keith certainly paved his way and HUF de...Read more
Our Know1edge Japan riders flew in to discuss the long awaited “Life” photo-exhibition showcasing photographs from the top international Skateboard photographer’s.
In between running around we found ourselves in an arcade & played a few rounds to see if we’ve still got it
The Nike AM team finally got a chance to spend a day in HK…
Tears may be flowing on the inside but, Stefan Janoski is always smiling even after a huge fall and even when a crazy cab driving gives them the run around…he’s just a nice guy!
We went over to China to meet up with the Nike SB am team.
Here are some of the unusual sights that you can only see while in china…

Probably one of the best names in the skateboarding industry! Stefan Janoski sun…um…I first met Stefan back in 2001 when we flew him, Tim (O’Connor), Joe Brook and Brennan Conroy out. I remember he just got on Habitat and he was killing it big fuckin time, he was skating on Savier still. He never missed a trick on his board! Tim and I were having a conversation that he might be the best skateboarder living out there, he really is though. Another thi...Read more
So Nike SB Am team (including Stefan) are going to Shen Zhen today but, there’s always a but huh? BUT, Justin Brock couldn’t enter due to his fucked up looking passport! Not the photo, Justin looks fine, it’s just the passport is so fucked up, it looks similar to that Chinese vegetable dish called Mui Choi, anyway, the Chinese immigration took one look at his passport and flat out denied his entry! Weird, it’s not a bootleg passport but, when immigration says “no” there’s no working around that.
So, Andy (Henrie), ...Read more
