Black Label’s New Barcode “Shredded” Graphic Comes In 15 Different Shapes and Sizes
Board brands experimenting with fresh takes on classic graphics is nothing new. Sometimes it works, other times it’s debatable. But when an iconic, respected brand like Black Label does it, well, there’s never a debate. Especially when they offer it in 15 different shapes and sizes. Take a look:

Black Label’s ‚Barcode‘ graphic is synonymous with the brand and if you’re like me, you’ve been seeing it for as long as you can remember. Their „never be bought, never be sold“ ethos lives on to this day. With John Lucero steering the ship and still hand-screening graphics, often personally shipping orders and fully embodying that DIY lifestyle, these are just a few of the reasons I’ve always been such a fan of the brand.

Swipe through the post above and you can actually see the barcodes that Lucero cut up (by hand) to make this graphic what it is. I mean, I know other brands will sometimes do things similarly, but John has always been quite literally hands-on when it comes to Label graphics and concepts. It’s just rad.
And let’s not forget—Label is offering 15 different shapes and sizes with this board, and most of their planks are often offered the same way. He’s always playing with shapes, always nerding out on sizes, but always keeps quality at the top of his priority list. Have you ever ridden a Black Label board? Exactly.

I’m 34 years old and I’ve been skating since I was 10. To some of you reading this, that might make me super young. To others, I’m the old dude rolling around your local park or spots keeping the dream alive. But my point is, Black Label has been around since I got into skateboarding and has always been one of my favorite brands.
Seeing Lucero keeping the dream alive in his own way—in 2024, no less—still skating curbs, being goofy and putting his heart and soul into this brand is so admirable. In fact, that’s not saying enough. At any rate, it keeps me stoked and I hope other skaters out there feel the same.
Look for these new graphics, along with plenty of other Black Label boards at your local shop and scoop one up. By skateboarders, for skateboarders. Enough said.

Willis Kimbel’s new Skate Shop and SOUNDBOKS Pro Model Speaker
Professional skateboarder Willis Kimbel, a prominent member of the Portland skating community, has planted his flag in his community with the launch of his own skate shop, Rip’s Co. Whether exploring Oregon’s nature, shredding at Burnside or skating a backyard pool, you’ll always find him with his SOUNDBOKS 4 (what a beast of a speaker!). Peep the video below, Willis is really hiking with that thing on his back! Peep Chris Russell stick an invert on it too!
„Kimbel has always been known as the guy responsible for the music. After spending years touring the world on his board, experiencing new cultures, and shredding with the Portland skate community, music has become a constant way for Kimbel to connect with people and have fun.“
„His SOUNDBOKS speaker has allowed him to do just that, creating thousands of moments alongside others. When turning his favorite Bluetooth speaker on, he can witness excellent connections, lifelong friendships, and core memories. This is one of the big reasons he chose SOUNDBOKS over other speakers. Having experienced firsthand how they draw people in and shock them, Willis knew he could be responsible for countless good times.
Because Willis is always on the road, he also needs a speaker that can withstand countless situations. Whether in nature, shredding on his board, at the skate shop, or hanging out with the homies, Willis needs a speaker like the SOUNDBOKS, where the vibes are going all day long.“

Check out Willis wailing on guitar in the SOUNDBOKS clip. Is it waterproof? From the speaker’s website description: „Say hello to our not-so-little friend.
The SOUNDBOKS 4 is really loud. Too loud to describe, to be honest. Beyond its insane volume, it sounds so full and crystal clear that you’ll hear your favorite songs like never before.
Built to handle the realities of any party, its stocky frame is splashproof and very durable. No bump or drop will stop it from doing its thing. The grill also pops off quicker than ever, allowing you to customize in your own style.
It’s super simple to use, too. Bluetooth makes it quick to set up, connecting with other SOUNDBOKS is no problem, and the swappable battery has 40 hours of playtime.“
Check the South Africa tour we did with Willis as a standout ripper:

New Arrivals: Krooked’s Second Fall Drop Is Hitting Skate Shops Now
DLXSF recently hopped on Instagram teasing Krooked’s second Fall drop and let me just say, it’s stacked with bangers! Get hyped on some rad new apparel items and decks from Gonz, Barbee, Knox, Manderson, Una, Gottwig, Worrest, Cromer, Cernicky and Sandoval. Swipe through and get a closer look below:
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
Aside from the new pro model graphics, Krooked also has multiple planks with their Easy Rider concave in the mix as well. Honestly, stamp those classic Krooked eyes on anything and consider me a fan. At the same time, basically all Krooked graphics will simply never get old, as far as I’m concerned. No debate.

Head down to your local skate shop and see this new drop in person. These planks and apparel should be blessing board walls and squeaky racks as I write this. At the very least, let this be a reminder as to just how stacked the Krooked team seriously is. Not even playing favorites, either, but the Una Farrar and Tom Knox graphics look so rad. They’re all solid, but I really like those.
The holidays are upon us! While we can all expect plenty of other drops from Krooked and all the rad brands at DLX, you should still act fast and get these boards while the getting is good. I know from personal experience that Krooked planks sail off the board walls at shops across the country, so if you have your eyes on any of these, get there while you can.

Look: Lakai Teases New Public Enemy Capsule Hitting Shops Now
The new Lakai x Public Enemy collection is hitting skate shops nationwide as you read this. They’ve been teasing some of the gear for a few months and it’s finally here! The capsule includes shoes, slippers, apparel, and some unique accessories (like a mini baseball bat) that any skateboarding Public Enemy fan will love.
Lakai recently offered another sneak peek of a few items (see below), but to see the full capsule, you’ll need to visit your local skate shop!
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
As far as shoes, the Cambridge, Telford Low, Owen Vulc and Owen Slipper all got the Public Enemy treatment, and to accompany them, a few tees, socks, hoody, jacket, beanie and accessories—including a sticker pack, a slip mat for turntables, and as mentioned, a mini baseball bat—round out the capsule perfectly.

Seeing Rick and Mike rocking the tee and hoody in the post above got me fired up on this new collection in itself, this is one of those link ups that just make sense. No stranger to collaborating with a wide range of brands, musicians, artists—you name it—Lakai continues to keep things fun, interesting and perfectly nostalgic with drops like this.
//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js
I wish I could show you more right now, but like I said, you need to hit up your local shop and see if they have it first! If you can’t, well, I’m sure Lakai will have the collection up on their website soon enough. In the meantime, plenty of online retailers already have the items available if you’re stuck in this crazy digital age. Whatever works.
Whether you’re a Public Enemy fan, a Lakai fan, or both, this collection is definitely calling your name. Don’t let the subtle branding fool you, though! The attention to detail on all the items is something to admire. Simply put—it all looks dope.
What’re you waiting for? Hit your local and see if they have it yet.
