Straight from the middle of the Pacific, ET Gagne and Stafhon Boca recently spent some time living that laid-back island life celebrating the new Alltimers X Thunder Trucks collection. The vibes are high! Scenic spots, scuba diving, a quarter pipe that leads to nowhere… it’s all here. Take a look:
The collection features 148 and 149 Thunder Lights along with rad a black short sleeve tee (Marv from Home Alone approves) that Home Alone fans of all ages will be hyped on. Perfect reference—IYKYK.
Look for the collection at your local shop, available now!
Podding in from his home in New Jersey this month we’ve got Kerry Getz joining Mitch, Steve, and Blair for a great episode of Podus Operandi. We watch Kerry’s classic part in TWS‘ Feedback that he shared with Bam Margera and Mike Maldonado. We also watch his pre-Toy Machine Fairmans 3 part that you might not have ever seen! Tune in and find out a whole lot more.
Podus Operandi with guest Kerry Getz (42:46)
We of course ask how he got on Habitat—the story is pretty rad. Find out who else was quitting Toy Machine at the same time and was supposed to get on too! We go through the lucrative Habitat and DVS years, find out how much a top-level pro was making in those years, and what eventually led Kerry to ride for Terror of Planet X. Kerry was a great guest! We can’t thank him enough.
As adidas prepares for the launch of the highly-anticipated Tyshawn II, they give us a candid and unfiltered look at TJ’s story in their new film, ‚The Way You Walk‘, while shedding some light on how his character has evolved in such an admirable, respectful way over the past few years.
The video—narrated by Tyshawn’s mother, Termisha Henry—takes us back to the early days of Tyshawn’s career up until now, with personal snippets from his mom and good friend (and adidas teammate), Na-Kel Smith peppered in along the way. From the Toy Machine/Emerica days to turning into a brand of his own and every moment in between, TJ has come a long way and deserves it all. Take a look:
We all know Tyshawn is built different, but hearing his mother’s perspective in regards to his rise to stardom is pretty much the coolest thing ever. It’s inspiring, but it also provides a kick of motivation at the same time. Seeing TJ turn into the incredible skateboarder and role model that he is today has been an absolute treat, to say the least. And you know he’s just getting started!
From the early days of his blossoming career to the icon he is now, Tyshawn is living proof that when you put in the work, results will follow. He’s just a skaterat, through and through, and continues to blow our minds with every clip he surprises us with (when and if he feels like it)—so far, so good.
The Tyshawn II’s will be available Saturday, June 1st on the adidas site and select skate shops worldwide. You can get a peak at them here.
This „behind the design“ installment—and more importantly, the concept of this collaboration between Navajo skateboarder, mentor and artist, Di’Orr Greenwood and Nike—is definitely one of the most powerful the Swoosh has put out recently.
It shines light on feelings of emotion and struggle, healing and hope, skateboarding and creativity—the list goes on. Di’Orr’s story is as inspiring as it is eye-opening. This is far more than just another Dunk release. See for yourself below:
„Lending her design acumen to the Nike SB Dunk Hi Decon and Blazer Mid Decon, Di’Orr Greenwood sits down with SB to dive into the symbolism, concepts, and message behind her two collaborative silhouettes,“ Nike writes.
The attention to detail on both the Dunk and Blazer are extremely impressive as well. Every little piece of these shoes has meaning behind it, which I really admire. Nike did an interview with Di’Orr to dig a little deeper on where she found inspiration for these designs, which you can read here. She really poured her heart and soul into this project, and it shows.
Both pairs of shoes will be available at local skate shops across the country starting this Saturday, June 1st. And limited runs will be available online shortly after. Big ups to Nike and Di’Orr on this powerful collaboration. Again, this is much more than just another Dunk release. They’re a window into the lives of Di’Orr and her community.
Dylan Roy was a a pivotal homie and filmer in the Texas skate scene for many years. His time on this earth unexpectedly came to an end January 1, 2024 but his spirit lives on and echoes throughout the ones he loved. He left behind a time capsule of footage from 2020-2022 that never had it’s release, until now. The video had a local Austin premiere at Pease Park on May 24th, 2024, on what would have been Dylan’s 35th birthday. Friends and family gathered to celebrate Dylan and enjoy the gift he gave us all: his love, time, and also some dope vx footage. This footage completes the trilogy in his CDXX series and serves as a reminder to enjoy your life, take care of yourself, and go on skate trips with your friends. Thanks for the good times, Dylan! Love you and we’ll see you on the next sesh <3 -Calvin Millar
