Deck of the Week : Real Hanging Klansman

Company : Real Skater : Jim Thiebaud Width : 8.25 Construction : This popsicle version of the classic Hanging Klansman reissue is another limited run of 300 boards that sends a portion of the decks proceed to the Johnny Kicks Cancer Foundation which is dedicated to helping kids with Leukemia. This came out first in a retro pool shape a few months ago as part of the 20 year anniversary celebrating Jim's relationship with the Real brand. Incorporating social messaging into graphics was a huge part of the industry and skate culture when this was first issued and the stoke that this board gives me wishes that trend made a reemergence. Everyone who wished they could have gotten one of the originals that the dudes at deluxe were nice enough to send us will be happy to know that we have a couple of these and none of them are spoken for so come grab these up and own a piece of skate history.

Shoe of the Week : Lakai Flaco x Chocolate Skateboards

Company : Lakai Skater : Stevie Perez (Chocolate Collab) Weight : 12 oz. Construction : The Lakai Flaco skate shoes feature a suede toe cap that extends back towards the side panels where extra rubber backing is applied for added wear resistance from ollies. The lightweight vulcanized sole ensures flexible board feel right out of the box. This Stevie Perez pro model is a collaboration with Chocolate Skateboards, so rest easy knowing your feet are in good hands. In the coming months we will see a lot more solid new models from the new younger Lakai squad. Anyone who thought they'd be in trouble after Guy and MJ left haven't been paying enough attention to just how stacked the Lakai team is at the young pro and am level and as always the design team is on point. There is also rumor of a new Lakai video in the making and if thats true then next time you say Lakai is in trouble you will be laughed at. Now watch Flaco himself put these shoes to the test.

Deck of the Week : Cliche Last Supper Cruiser Deck

Company : Cliche Skater : You?? Artist : Marc McKee Width : 8.75 Construction : This super versatile cruiser/transition shape features the artwork of the legendary graphic designer Marc McKee who made his mark in skateboarding history by making countless graphics for World Industries during the golden age of skateboarding........the 90s. Ok so the 90s was a little confusing and hardly skateboarding's golden age but what Marc McKee and the guys at World Industries ended up doing was critical to the skate industry today. They made graphics that were contemporary, controversial, and thought provoking. Without artists like Marc McKee and visionaries like Steve Rocco, the modern skater owned brands would have never had the guts to get started. Seeing guys like them take chances are exactly what makes skateboarding not a "sport" and instead a lifestyle.
