Sublimity Snow & Skate

 We have been getting a bunch of new gear in lately. Lots of skate decks, Longboard decks, trucks, bearings and other goodies. This week we have recieved new decks from Deathwish and Baker, as well as the Deathwish Video and even a pretty cool drink coozy.

Restock of Bones wheels, bushings, bearings, and re-issue Powell-Peralta decks also arrived and a few sets of These(TM) Wheels. 

Rayne longboards got us some new product this past week, including the new Patrick Switzer pro model! The quality of these decks is unmistakable and the sublimated graphics look fantastic. Along with the decks came some more Vicious grip and some of their new risers. The risers are made of bamboo scraps from the manufacturing process of their decks. Rayne takes the scraps, cuts them to size, drills them and sands to them to finish them. It's a great use of something that was just getting discarded! Not shown in the picture is a few sets of new Rayne freeride wheels. 

This week we also received some "Ostrich" dunk mids from Nike. Originally we did not prebook these, but we had a few requests for them so we decided to get a small size run. 

Last by not least, we have gotten a special restock of Nike shoes from the past. I will be making a specific post about these....but I'll give you a hint: Wingtips.

 It's no secret that Eric Koston enjoys a few rounds of Golf now and again. So, it was only a matter of time before Nike indulged his passion by giving him a functional twist on his second pro model. Meet the Koston 2 IT. This shoe shares the same upper stylings of his second pro model, but is made of a synthetic leather that is water resistant, to handle dew on the grass. It also has the same Lunarlon insole, but boasts an outsole specifically for hitting the golf course instead of the skate park. These are much more comfortable than a standard golf shoe, and bring more of a skate fashion to the game. For all of you that are golf enthusiasts like Koston, these Quick Strikes are on the floor and on sale today. 

 We have received our May Nike SB shoes! First up is one that you all have been waiting for and calling us for. The Floral Digi-Camo Janoski. We are sad to say however that we only ordered a very limited amount of these. We will release them tomorrow, May 1st when we open at 11AM. The price will be $100.00. We did everything we could to try and add more to our order but were only able to add two pair of 13's. Those 13's will show up later on, (we are hoping next week) When we saw these to order them last year, the pic was a computer rendering and quite honestly looked HORRIBLE. That being said, these look absolutely GREAT!

The other shoe we have for May is a very cool Dunk High Pro in Dark Teal/Black-Wolf Grey. These have some great leather, Nubuck, and nylon material details and a very warm, rich feel to them. In my opinion one of the nicest Dunk High's in some time. 

 We will be closed on Saturday April 27th through Monday April 29th. We will resume normal hours of operation on Tuesday April 30th at 11am. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we do not have an alternative. Enjoy the weekend weather, and we will see you all back at the shop on Tuesday. 

One Final reminder about the Nike SB Dunk Low Concords: We will be releasing them tomorrow Saturday April 20th. Due to the call volume we have received over the past week, we have decided to do a raffle. NO CAMPING!!! A raffle is the only way we can make things equitable and give people the best shot of getting a pair. We also like to be able to help good causes when we can, and something with a high demand like this is a perfect opportunity. So, we have decided to hold the raffle and charge a small fee for the tickets in order to donate to the Boys and Girls club of Portland. Tickets will be available at 11am, and the raffle will take place shortly there after. We are charging 3 dollars per ticket with a limit of two tickets per person.  One pair of shoes can be purchased per person. We ask that you bring cash for the raffle tickets so that we can just hand that money directly over to the Boys and Girls club.  

We have received both the Lemon Twist Janoski Quick Strike and Our Dunk Low "Concord" shipments. Both of these shoes are highly anticipated releases that people have been excited about for months. The Janoski features a Nylon upper as opposed to the traditional suede or leather. The insole bares the 3 square logo that identifies this a a collaboration between them and Nike. These things are BRIGHT. So bright, they almost glow. The Lemon Twist Janoskis will be for sale on Wednesday April 17th. First come first serve.

The Dunk Low Concord is reminiscent of a Jordan Concord 11. It features a nylon upper with black patten leather toe cap, heel panel and tab. The outsole is ice blue with a purple interior EVa in the center. These make a nice companion to the "Space Jam" release of a couple of years ago. 

The Concords will be released on Saturday April 20th. Due to the call volume we have received, we have decided to do a raffle. NO CAMPING!!! It's the only way we can make things equitable and give people the best shot of getting a pair. Tickets will be available at 11am, and the raffle will take place shortly there after. We are charging 3 dollars per ticket with a limit of two tickets per person. Proceeds from the raffle will go to the Boys and Girls club of Portland. We ask that you bring cash for the raffle tickets so that we can just hand that directly over to the Boys and Girls club. Thanks or understanding, and see you on Saturday for the Concords. 

Our shipment of the Nike SB Dunk Low "Concord" has gone out of Nike's warehouse and is scheduled to be here soon. We will be releasing these in store on Saturday the 20th of April. Stay tuned for more info on release details. 

 Today our Look/See x G.I. Joe sunglasses arrived, and we couldn't be more pleased with the final product! These are truly one of the best and most detailed collaborations we have ever seen. For children of the 80's opening this shipment was a real treat. It brings back some memories for us, and we are sure it will bring some back for others too. Only 100 of each model were produced and they come in a blister pack that is reminiscent of the G.I. Joe action figures from the 80s complete with character artwork. The back of the packaging has a character file detailing the different attributes, strengths and back story just like the original toys. The Look/See logo has even been done up in the G.I. Joe font and colors. We wish we could have gotten enough to keep a pair of each for ourselves, but then we would have to struggle with the decision of whether or not to remove them from the packing. We'd rather sell them to people and let them make the difficult decision. 

Check out the collection here.

 As a reminder, the S.P.oT. Nike SB Dunk Low Quickstrike release is happening TOMORROW, Friday the 22nd!!!

We open at 11am and close at 7pm, the shoes will be available on a first-come-first-served basis and only 1 pair per person will be allowed. 

This shoe celebrates the 20th year that Skatepark of Tampa FL. has been around, and features custom art done by Lance Mountain. The artwork is applied to the outside of the shoe as part of the suede in an all-over print. This is a unique treatment that sets this shoe apart from any other prior SB release. The trim color is a nice soft teal, with a silver swoosh over top. The midsole is white, finished off with a black outsole. The detail on this shoe is amazing to say the least!
