For Crooked Tongues’ upcoming BBQ in Bangkok, adidas has jumped on board to offer up the Super Skate for CT to design. The sneaker was designed with hot Bangkok weather in mind and as a result you are presented with a light colored breathable sneaker. The line sheet shows a perforated toe box and tongue with hints of elephant skin. The only way to officially get your hands on a pair is to attend the August 19th BBQ in Thailand. Details after the jump.

Parisian design collective Surface to Air gathered 50 artists from around the world for their latest book Flip the Script. Each artist was asked to give their spin on the posters of movies that have had an impact on their lives. The goal was to subject viewers to the differing mindsets of each artist. Among the artists featured in this limited edition oversized book are Faile, Jay-One, Phil Knott, Nagi Noda and Rostarr.

Although Nike SB has been around for a few years now, September is set for the release date for their first skate video. Only a few actual skate clips are shown on the Nike SB website however the side-stories look like a lot of fun.
Here’s an upcoming look at the Nike Huarache which is bound to drop coming October. Two sharp colorways adorn this upcoming release. Some of you may recognize that one of the colorway is inspired by the iconic Mowabb model. Look for these in Issue 10 of Sneaker Freaker.
