This is the Lakai x Crailtap Colabo shoe. I'm unsure of when it was made, but it has been a few years. I purchased the original of this shoe before the colab came out, skated them, and enjoyed the board feel from them. The toe cap, even though it's suede, lasted for quite a long time, and the stitching lasted longer then most. The Crailtap logo can be seen in great detail on the highlight image, but what can't been seen is the "Crailtap" sole. On the bottom of the shoe is a see through rubber, displaying the brand name. Definitely a shoe for any collector, skater, or someone looking for a comfy shoe for everyday. While shooting Antigravity Skateshop's new shop, I noticed these and had to get a snap of them. Snag a pair while they are still available from the shop.

The Fallen Chief is a skater's skate shoe. I have had 3 pairs and I can say without a doubt, they are one of my favourites. The inside hugs your foot like a glove, and the vulcanized sole allows for a ton of board feel and flick. I am very susceptible to heel bruises, especially in vulc soles, but the Chiefs were able to keep the bruising at bay. They broke in right away and have no issues skating out of the box. No microwaving needed. If you have skated these and want them again, or are looking to try something a little different from your norm, I highly recommend the Fallen Chiefs. I know Antigravity skateshop has a few left. I shot this while I was doing a photoshoot for their new shop. Go there and get them before they are gone.

Kitsch Skateboards, a Vancouver based skateboard company, is set to release their first full length video. With full parts expected from Stacy Gabriel, Geoff Dermer, Sean McAllister, Mike Hastie, and home-town hero, Cory Wilson. The video looks to be a very high quality piece of work from the likes of Jordan Mayfield. Their teaser for the video has been out for a little while now on the SBC site, but has finally been released for personal use. Take a minute, watch, and imagine how good this video will actually be!
