After 25 years, éS Footwear is proud to announce that the Black/Royal Muska is officially available at select skate shops worldwide. This specific colorway has sparked conversations for over two decades, and in true èS fashion, they dug into the archives and brought them back to life. Ah, the nostalgia is real with these.

„For over two decades, the iconic Rick Kosick photograph of Chad Muska sitting on a graffitied wall in Venice, California, has sparked endless discussion,“ èS tells us. „The burning question: ‚Did this Black/Royal Muska colorway ever release?‘ Well, the answer is no—until now.“

Whether your roots stem from this era, you’re simply a fan of this era, or one of the many new skaters who are assisting with bringing back big, puffy shoes to skateboarding, there’s no denying these kicks check all the boxes. One look at these and a rush of memories from such a special time in my life come pouring down. 

One thing is for sure—these look borderline indestructible. The attention to detail is crazy, and when Muska is involved, you know you can always expect good things. „The Muska is more than a shoe; it’s a legacy,“ èS mentions. And honestly, I just have to agree. 

Look for „the shoe that never happened“ at your local shop, but keep in mind, they’re super limited. If you want ‚em, you better grab ‚em fast!

From Elissa Steamer and Hayley Wilson setting it off to serious gnar from Pedro Delfino and Elijah Berle, this is a tour edit that’s worth every second of your time. 

Denver, and the rest of the Centennial State, are rich in skate history and have the spots to match. The whole state is littered with big, concrete parks, fresh air, and usually some snow-topped mountains as the backdrop. Check out the picturesque to the heavy clips, right here. 

„Throw in two sets of siblings, a couple lifelong BFFs, and Colorado summertime weather; you’ve got heavy family road trip vibes and the revs to match. Featuring Elissa Steamer, Hayley Wilson, Nicole Hause, Fabiana Delfino, Pedro Delfino, Raney Beres, Elijah Berle & Frank Gerwer. Video by Mack Scharff & Rye Beres.“

Elijah always delivers on the rails and hairy gaps and Pedro and Raney get it in the bowls too. What’s with the Vikings jersey in CO? Your guess is as good as ours. Fabiana gets fresh with a no-handed sweeper and a cowboy hat. 

Some doubles action with Raney and Pedro, then Pedro closes it out with a wild Ollie up, 50-50 to 50-50 (with a bit of board bottom assistance?). Cool clip!

Stay tuned for Elijah’s glizzy burger at the end. You wanna know how he’s got all that pop and power? That might be it.

From the daunting walls of Washington Street to the entire world, Peter Hewitt is unarguably one of skateboarding’s most legendary individuals. Balls to the wall, no stop signs, full speed, all or nothing—there’s truly nobody like Hewitt. He might stay low key in the grand scheme of things, but those who know, know. 

And those who don’t? Well, let Madars Apse and the new episode of ‚Skate Tales‘ take care of that for you. This might just be the best episode yet! Take a look:

Madars and Peter link up at Shockus Park in Ocean Beach for a quick roll before heading to San Diego’s most iconic DIY—Washington Street. From there, they cover everything from injuries and checking in with your body (something Peter recently learned to do at the young age of 50) to carve grinds, transfers, The Loop, warm up routines and more. 

They end the episode with a mission to the legendary Nude Bowl (and have a helluva session), but not without getting a little deep and philosophical on the topic of, „What does skateboarding mean to you?“ Let me just say—his answer will leave you feeling a little emotional, in the best way. 

For someone who has always been a huge Peter Hewitt fan, this is a video I’ll surely be putting on multiple times to find inspiration. And if I’m being honest, I mean that far beyond skateboarding itself. Hewitt is just an epic human being and yeah, the dude absolutely loves skateboarding. He’s the epitome of a lifer. They just don’t make ‚em like him anymore!

„You could go so far as to say that Peter Hewitt represents skateboarding’s backbone,“ Red Bull Skate writes in the description. „In a world where people like to push themselves forward, Peter is not competing in the attention economy. [His] skateboarding has been an ongoing quest on the edge of reason in terrain that even masters avoid.“ 

Facts. Thanks for being the guiding light that you are, Peter! Forever thankful.

Link up with Eric Dressen, Maurio McCoy, Tom Asta, Rob Pace, Erick Winkowski, Taiga Nagai and Rei Takazawa as they hit the streets of Japan and put on some ripping demos during their recent tour. Squad! Take a look:

I hate playing favorites, but I’m a huge fan of Winkowski and Dressen. Seeing them rip in this clip got me so hyped. Dressen has been bringing the stoke for decades, inspiring multiple generations, and he still refuses to slow down. And every time Winkowski steps on his board, I can’t take my eyes off him—you just never know what this dude is about to deliver!

That said, Tom Asta, Maurio McCoy, Rob Pace, Taiga Nagai, and Rei Takazawa provide the perfect contrast, each ripping in their own unique way. With a squad this productive, you can always expect great things. From the streets to the demos, this trip looked like a memorable one for everyone involved.

On the heels of that, I can only imagine how stoked all the kids at the demos were. Trips like these only come around so often, you know? Meeting the pros, watching them skate, getting to hang and interact with them… that’s a huge deal! Memories like that are bound to last forever. Those smiles say more than words ever could. 

Well, if you haven’t yet, settle in and press play. As far as tour edits are concerned, this one has it all.

Lance Mountain recently stopped by the NHS warehouse to personally print and sign his exclusive limited edition Indy box sets that are about to hit a few select skate shops across the country. Check the clip and learn more about these super limited boxes below: 

They’re only making 149 sets—each featuring Lance’s custom truck specs: a front truck 149 Hollow Standard and a back truck 149 Hollow with Indy’s Patented Design Inverted Kingpin. The cherry on top? Each set includes a hand-signed postcard from Lance and a Doughboy plush toy. Boom!

I just have to say—of course Lance skates his trucks like this! When you’ve been doing the damn thing as long as this legend, you’re going to do your fair share of experimenting. Lance is a total skate nerd and I could watch him puttering around all day. Regardless, this is a super sick idea and the fact that they’re this limited really adds a little extra hype. Shoot, I want one! 

All you can do is roll to your local shop and ask if they have them! 149 sets is not a lot, though. And these certainly won’t last long. That said, I love that Indy is doing it this way. These boxes are genuine collector’s items and if you do happen to get your hands on one, it’ll be like striking gold. The DIY spirit is alive and well with this project. 

Nothing left to say besides good luck! And thanks to Lance for the decades of stoke. He’s still inspiring us all on a daily basis and still provides us all with that spark to hit the streets and have some fun.
