First Look: New Nike SB Dunk Low ‚Supersonics‘ Set to Hit Skate Shops December 5th

The latest Nike SB Dunk Low ‚Supersonics‘ are being teased around the globe right now as they’re set to hit skate shops December 5th. But Seattle’s 35th North will rightfully be the first skate shop to drop them on December 3rd. Hometown heroes!

Get a closer look below. These things are gonna fly off of shoe shelves!

As always, you’ll have to head to YOUR local skate shop to secure a pair of these. I have a feeling most shops will be doing raffles, but plenty of others might just run it first come, first served. Whether you’re a fan of the Seattle Supersonics basketball team or not, the colorway is super sick. I’m personally getting some serious holiday vibes from them.

Honestly, Dunks are Dunks these days. Whether you’re a skateboarder who actually plans to skate them, a skateboarding enthusiast who just wants a piece of the culture or a sneakerhead who is looking to keep your collection growing, these things are already a hot topic for many. 

Find the time to head to your local next Thursday/Friday and keep your eyes on Instagram updates from all your favorite shops. There will be lines, there will be raffles, there will be chaos! Good luck out there and make sure to buy a few extra items while you’re picking these up.

Look: Zion Wright’s Raw Clips From ‚GODSPEED‘ Just Dropped

Davonte Jolly recently uploaded just over 11 minutes of raw Zion Wright clips from the GODSPEED era, and let me just say, they’re straight up bonkers. Jolly rolls with some of the heaviest skateboarders in the game, and we all know Zion is built different… but a little reminder like this never hurts. Settle in. Press play. Get stoked.

Reflecting on this epic project, Jolly mentioned, „Zion was the first person I got a clip with for Godspeed when it was just an idea. Extremely proud of his part in the film and grateful he wanted all his footage to go towards my first film instead of letting sponsors rob it from us like they usually try to do haha.“ 

It’s easy to forget that Zion Wright is such an all-terrain killer. He’ll conquer the heaviest kinkers, 540 on a vert ramp, rip around the tightest bowls and transition… and that list goes on. Safe to say, skateboarding is in good hands with dudes like Zion.

His part in GODSPEED was one of my favorites, no debate. But I’ll always appreciate some raw clips all the same. These are the moments that make up the videos we all love so much, and we often forget just how much effort goes into these quick two-to-three second clips! 

If you haven’t seen GODSPEED, you should tap the link below. The entire video still holds up to this day. In fact, it’s almost hard to believe it dropped all the way back in 2020!

Aside from the skaters, Davonte Jolly has stayed busy behind the lens all the same, and quite frankly, I’d expect nothing less. His talent speaks for itself but his drive is really something to admire. 

Again, if you haven’t seen GODSPEED, add it to your to-do list today. But don’t forget to watch these ripping Zion Wright clips first!

The SK8MAFIA Squad Comes Out Swinging in ‚SK8MAFIA PROMO 2024‘

Happy Thanksgiving y’all! While you’re stuffing your faces with all that good-good today, you might as well throw on the new SK8MAFIA video to add a little stoke to your Turkey Day session! Just dropped today. Enjoy:

All your favorite Mafia dudes are in the mix. Masaki Hongo, Brandon Turner, Stephen Lawyer, Alex Willms, Dan Connelly, Javier Sarmiento, Tyler Surrey, Wes Kremer, TJ Rogers and Alexis Ramirez all brought their best, but really, what else would you expect? Can’t keep these dudes out the streets! 

Related: Wes Kremer Breaks Down His Epic ‚Not Another TransWorld Video‘ Part: Exclusive Commentary

From start to finish, the vibes are super high. The squad provides, the soundtrack is on point and you just can’t help but feel like you’re sort of there on some of the sessions. 

Masaki Hongo kicks things off with a bang, and the rest of the squad keeps the energy high, leading up to Alexis Ramirez, who closes the curtains with an absolutely bangin‘ part! Alexis has been on a tear this year. He’s just so damn low key, though! I think people sort of forget just how insane he truly is on the board. 

Don’t trip—after this part, no one will forget. 

That said, I love me some Wes and Tyler footage. Stephen Lawyer is still constantly blowing our minds. No one is ever mad at some fresh Brandon Turner clips—dude is aging like fine wine! TJ fits into the squad like a glove and of course, Willms, Connelly, and Sarmiento bring something special to the table all the same. 

Get the squad together, put it on the big screen, and enjoy those Thanksgiving sessions! SK8-MA-FIA! Nice work, dudes.

Todd Francis Talks Early Antihero Days and More on Living Proof Radio

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the man behind the truly iconic Antihero Skateboards ‚Eagle‘ graphic, Todd Francis. Beyond his contributions to skateboarding, Todd is an absolute legend in the art world, just in general. I’m proud to say I’ve always been a fan of his work. And although I pretty much have to mention the Eagle, I’m barely scratching the surface here.  

Always humorous, always thought-provoking, edgy, raw, the dude just has one of those rare minds. Living Proof Radio recently caught up with Todd to discuss a variety of topics, but I’ll just say, when you get a chance to hear from a dude like this… you should tune in. Trust me. Press play and enjoy:

„Todd Francis is a renowned artist, perhaps best known for creating the Anti-Hero Skateboards eagle logo, one of the most recognized symbols in skateboarding. His work often combines humor, social commentary, and a gritty aesthetic, resonating deeply with skaters who embrace skateboarding as a countercultural expression,“ Living Proof mentions.

„The Anti-Hero eagle logo, designed by Todd Francis, encapsulates the brand’s identity: raw, uncompromising, and steeped in skateboarding’s punk ethos. The design is simple yet powerful, featuring a fierce eagle clutching a ribbon with the brand name. The eagle logo is instantly recognizable, even beyond skateboarding.“

Todd has seen Antihero unfold since the early, early days and as he talks about in this episode, the dude clearly still has so much gas in the tank. Between him, Julien Stranger, Cardiel and the entire 18 squad, I can only imagine how fun some of these conversations must be when planning graphics and really anything they do. 

I love the history lesson we get here, too. Honestly, I could listen to these stories for days! There aren’t many other brands out there who have kept it as real as Antihero over the decades. They have never faked the funk and continue to care about the brand in such a genuine, admirable way.

Anyways, I’m not gonna spoil anything here, because I genuinely think you should tune in and listen to this entire hour. I guarantee you’ll be wanting more. I sure as hell do. 

Todd’s art has left a lasting impact on skateboarding culture, one that is honestly almost hard to fathom. Shoutout to Todd, Antihero and all the real ones who care about keeping it real and staying true to their ethos. Go set up an Eagle board!

Adidas Debuts Momiji Nashiya’s Highly-Anticipated First Video Part ‚MOMIJI‘

Ladies and gentlemen, Momiji Nashiya has officially entered the building! 

„Filmed over 3 years at iconic spots around the world, Momiji Nashiya makes her highly anticipated debut with adidas with her first full-length part,“ adidas wrote as the caption of the video. Rightfully tacking on, „Enjoy.“ What else can we say? Settle in and enjoy. 

Momiji’s taste for spots, trick selection and casual style is truly unmatched. There were so many rad little surprises peppered into this part! A little something for every single one of us to not just enjoy, but find some inspiration in all the same.

What I love the most about this part is that Momiji doesn’t spare a single second! It starts with a bang and only picks up from there. And who on earth could hate a track like this? Extra points for having the skating and music selection go so well together. 

Also, am I tripping or did this part sort of just come outta nowhere? I love when that happens. As far as first official full video parts are concerned, I’d say she truly outdid herself here. To say I’m impressed simply wouldn’t be saying enough. The adidas squad certainly knows how to pick em! 

Should we run up a few quick facts? She can effortlessly piece together a line. Boom. She knows how to stack some proper single clips. Check. And again, she takes her deep bag of tricks to so many rad spots. What else do you need?

And as always, the filming and editing compliment the skating perfectly. Mulhern is a beast behind the lens and certainly knows how to cut up a proper clip. This part is a great example of just that. 

Stoked to see Momiji getting the shine she deserves! Killed it.

SK8MAFIA Teases 2024 Promo Video Ahead of Thanksgiving Release

If there’s one squad you can’t keep out the streets, it’s SK8MAFIA. They recently hopped on Instagram teasing their new „SK8MAFIA PROMO 2024“ video that’s set to hit their YouTube November 28th and by the looks of it, we can expect some absolute bangers from Wes, Tyler, Alexis, TJ and the rest of the crew. Take a look:

View the original article to see embedded media.

Sk8mafia videos always come with a flavor of their own and there’s no denying the team—and brand as a whole—has always done things their own way. 

From OGs like Brandon Turner and Javier Sarmiento to fan favorites like Wes, Tyler and Alexis, all the way to hungry up-and-comers (and new additions) like Alex Willms and TJ Rogers, the Mafia team is as stacked as ever. Point being—this promo is bound to be an absolute banger!

The teaser has a super classic skate video feel to it. Makes, bails, close calls, cops, hijinx and whatever else that falls in between. For skaters, by skaters, I love that these dudes are still just out there making „homie videos“ as their straight up brand promos! I mean, it’s nothing new, but I feel like these days it’s a bit more few and far between. 

As a San Diego local, I almost have to give respect to the brand… but in fairness, that admiration is hardly forced. We’ve all thrown up the SM from time to time and at the end of the day, their energy is always contagious. I’m stoked to see what they’ve all been working on this year! 

Well, like I said, the video is hitting their YouTube on Thanksgiving. I know most folks sit around and watch football or whatever, but maybe you can toss this one on with the fam with a belly full Turkey Day fixins! Whatever you wanna do. But just know it’ll be there! If you haven’t tapped play on the teaser yet, get there.

Look: Adidas Drops Bold New Custom-Crafted Pro Shell ADV by Niels Bennett

Adidas skateboarding recently dropped a new Pro Shell ADV by Niels Bennett, offering “a nod to the past, with a focus on the future.”

These shoes are clean and bold at first glance, and we’re stoked to see Niels getting the shine he deserves with this special drop. Swipe through for some ripping clips from Niels and a closer look at the kicks below:

View the original article to see embedded media.

„Niels’ Pro Shell ADV features refined design lines with custom three-stripes running down to the outsole, a top grain nubuck leather upper with reinforced stitching in high abrasion areas, and, of course, the Pro Shell’s signature lock-in lace strap and iconic rubber shell toe,“ adidas mentions in the caption. „A nod to the past with a focus on the future. The custom-crafted Pro Shell ADV by Niels Bennett is available now.“

You really get the best of both worlds with these—style and function. The iconic rubber shell toe from adidas is truly timeless, but these are built with skateboarders and skateboarding in mind. Give ‘em your worst! Because these kicks look tough as nails.

This colorway is super sick, too. I’m backing all the different shades of brown. Clean and subtle with some impressive attention to detail all the same. That strap is dope! And don’t quote me, but we can probably expect a few other colorways to drop next year. Either way—nailed it!

Head down to your local skate shop and slide your foot into a pair of Niels‘ new shoes—available now. If your local doesn’t have them for some reason, you can always hit the Three Stripes website and secure a pair there.

Congrats again to Niels! And big ups to adidas for making this happen. Good stuff all around. Can we expect a full video to accompany the drop? Hopefully! But for now, enjoy the clips and the kicks above.
