Canal New York City

New York City’s Canal Street, as well as the rest of Chinatown, is more like a parallel universe than a street, and living there must be a fate worse than death. Apart from being home to every smell in the world, it also provides a well-developed c …

Wayward London

If there’s only one rule in skateboarding, this has got to be it: everybody is always more fucking gnarly/stoned/drunk than anybody else. It’s kinda funny that in skateboarding, a sport cherished by many for its inherent carelessness and life-cel …

Welcome Chaos Fishing Club!

Vans X Supply Chima Pro 2 aka. the pride in being ugly

There’s a certain pride in being aesthetically challenged. It’s a gruesomely superficial world, alright, and being less attractive initially places you closer to the bottom of the pecking order – aesthetically, at least. Once you’ve accepted …

Nike Sb Blazer Mid (Club 58)

If you’re a regular on this blog, you’re probably used to the incoherent nagging and the inconsequential bitching about the skateboarding culture and the industry that shapes it. Maybe you mostly feel the same way, and that’s why you like to re …

Nike SB Rivals Pack (Biggie vs. Tupac)

The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. Back in the 90s, those two names alone were sufficient to end relationships: either you were West Side or your were East Side, with no middle ground in between – or so the story goes. Both rappers rose to exce …

Nike SB X Medicom Toy Dunk High Elite

By now, Nike SB has released enough remakes, reboots and sequels to famous classics to choke a fucking horse to death. That’s not a bad thing, don’t get us wrong. We love wear the shoes we never got to own ourselves back in the day to be re-relea …

Alltimers “No Idea” Video

Frog Skateboards

Founded by Chris Milic and Jesse Alba 2016 in New York, Frog Skateboards at first seems like one huge clusterfuck: the company’s graphics are little more than unfinished doodles, the videos are weirdly edited accumulations of incompetently filmed t …

Nike SB White Widow Dunk

The history of 420 is kinda muddled and controversial, but it’s also hilariously anticlimactic for a movement of stoners. Essentially, a bunch of friends tried to find an abandoned cannabis crop after school back in the 1970s. They called themselve …
