As a tribute to one of the great skate flicks of all time, Nike SB has looked to Powell Peralta's Public Domain skate video (installment IV of the Bones Brigade series). Popularity and notoriety was gained largely in part to the strong cast of skaters who would go on to carve out solid professional careers in the skateboard world. The classic gradient design used for the poster is replicated on the tongue. No word yet on a release date. Source: Kickslab

Here are some sneak pictures of a Nike SB P-Rod 2 (Paul Rodriguez Pro model) sample designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara. The highlights are the rainbow colors on the heel detail and the small fragment logo on the tongue. The premium P-Rod 2 has a gucci style monogram pattern that was seen on the contrasts of the P-Rod 1 as well. The tongue adorns Fujiwara's signature in addition to Fragment Design's lightening bolts, so if this does come out to the general public, expect there to be line-ups. Source: HF

The Skatepark of Tampa has gained a great deal of recognition for their annual Pro and Amateur competitions, bringing the best skaters in the business to Florida. During these annual events, they hold a tradition "Moat" race which involves tons of dedication and having a strong stomach.
