First Glance: Gravis Arto Mid


Let's face it. You could get through life a whole lot easier if you're good looking. This is fact. I know this because I'm behind a keyboard and not on a runway strip ready to strut my stuff for a inconceivable amount of money just for walking. Everyone on Gravis is good looking and that's probably one of the attributes needed to just get on flow. Just sayin ranting...

I'm smart because I've got art.


 Writing about shoes can get stale at times so it's always good to write something for ourselves every now and then. With that segue out of the way, I can talk about some much needed art that I have been fiending for. Even better, I'm supporting a fellow friend that goes by the name of Dedleg.

The Adidas Skateboarding & Dennis Busenitz Quick Strike


At an attempt to reach and appeal to the "Quick Strike" audience that has undeniably taken over skateboarding, Adidas is releasing a special edition Busenitz titled "The Blusenitz". Nothing too original but it's their first go at this (with the Busenitz) so we'll cut them some slack.
It's being released to certain independently owned skate shops and comes with a limited edition sticker pack with each purchase. As far as the colorway goes, it's nothing to go crazy about. Seeing this special addition colorway actually gives me a new found respect for the quick strike team over at Nike SB. It certainly can't be that easy to come up with colorways and catchy names to match.


I mean, what would this colorway be dubbed..? Perhaps the macaw? I searched google images for items that were blue & yellow and this was the majority of what showed up. I have no idea what love Dennis Busenitz has for the tropical bird; perhaps their is a back story missing. Whatever the case may be, if you're interested in these at all, be sure to call your local skate shop and ask if their one of the lucky ones getting them. They're due to be released on 5/1 and Adidas even had Dennis sign a shitload of commemorative soccer balls to shop owners. Truthfully though, with my experience, I've noticed most shop owners don't give a shit about this kind of memorabilia so if you're not too timid or at least a friend of the shop, try and negotiate a couple of more bucks to get your hands on that ball. It could go for big bucks on eBay.

Excuses, excuses, excuses...



Today's post was meant to be about Half Cabs. I can't say to what degree but it's about Half Cabs. Turns out this simple post turned into a chaotic, lengthy article and will be postponed until further notice. On the other hand, we still come bearing gifts. We can't leave you completely unfulfilled, it's just not in our nature, so with that said...enjoy.

Keep it on and on and on and on and.. KnowhatI'msayin?! - Nas, Memory Lane.

Working hard at the RL's offices.

Normally we had a stronghold over keeping this blog updated on an every other day basis. If not that, we would at least do about 2-4 posts a week.

Well, blame the weather, that & life. Yeah, we hate life....

No worries though, we're coming back with some new material this week. The posts have also taken a break because we've been working on building our website. Anyone who specializes in this medium is more than welcomed to come forth and will be rewarded with as much KFC and old issues of TWS, Thrasher and some Canadian skate magazines I have lying around in storage. Seriously.

This was just an update for you guys who question whether we were dead or not...not yet.

Good news for you & us this Friday,
peace.
