Christian Hosoi was one of the popular skaters during the 1980’s along with other pro’s including Tony Hawk. In 2006, he was signed with Vans and received his pro model shoe, the SK8-HI. This year, the Hosoi models which include a SK8-HI and a Era will be launching once again. Like previous shoes, the Hosoi sneaker features the raising sun graphic that was first used on his debut skate deck with Sims Skateboards. Available now at ripe and Flauge.
Based on popular 80s skater Christain Hosoi, his original SK8-Hi release was popular amongst many spawning a 2nd generation of releases. Keeping consistent with the previous release in terms of color and design, two new models have been added to the roster. These include an Era and a Slip-On.

It looks like Disney is currently working on some interesting projects. The details are vague but rumor has it that Disney commissioned the pro-skater Christian Hosoi to design some products which includes some limited edition skate decks and apparel. Other than Mickey, there might also be some other characters involved but nothing is confirmed yet. I guess we’ll just have to wait to see what exactly the products will look like.
