For most big athletic brands, their initial foray into the skate market starts off with basic bread and butter models i.e. the Dunk, Gazelle, Campus etc. One of adidas’ biggest endorsed athletes Mark Gonzales put down his own style and art work on this busy version of the adidas Skate Gazelle. This is definite rare look for a sneaker that is more often and not restricted to simple/monocrhomatic colors. Of course the sneaker comes complete with the added skate properties necessary including increased heel cushioning and thick lining.

Founded by Asian pop superstar Jay Chou, sneaker store PHANTACi held a special event last night titled “I Can’t Brake”. The event featured a meeting of local fixed gear riders with sponsorship from local fixed gear shop nabiis and Japanese bike shop starfuckers. A handful of products were also released to commemorate the event including t-shirts and custom bikes made by the two aforementioned bike shops. The tees and bikes are priced at $40 USD and $1200 USD respectively.
To pop off the Push Project Art Show, a three way collaboration saw retailer Atlas, skate brand Manik and New York artist Nish to create a collection of t-shirts and skatedecks. Unlike conventional board art, the art is designed on reinspired skate boards. The two decks featured here were done by Andrew Pommier and Jeff Proctor. Stop by Atlas in San Mateo to check out the art show.
