Habitat Austyn video review
The Austyn from Habitat Footwear has been one of the more highly anticipated pro models of the year. The demand of the shoe hasn't necessarily been from a promise of groundbreaking technology or a unique take on an already popular silhouette but because of the phenomenal year Austyn Gillette has been having. Much of it has to do with his stellar performance on the board, but what really brought him into heavy pro contention was his QUIK part that was released by the Berrics in collaboration with Quiksilver.

DC Centric S Review
 |
| DC's Centric S. Week 1 to Week 4. (top to bottom) |
The DC Centric S is the quintessential throwback shoe with a modernized design. It pays homage to where we've come from as skateboarders: an era of 48 mm wheels, oversized green blind pants & even bigger shoes that resemble moon boots, all while advancing the current model of skate shoes today. Recognizing this shoe is one thing but the fact of the matter is that it wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Josh & his loyalty to DC. He's become the classic example of how to be a professional skateboarder & he's tied in many of his own traits with his new shoe. As is Josh, the Centric S is durable, dependable & modernized to adapt to any surface, terrain or object with ease & style. The one word we forgot to mention is longevity. It's the word we didn't feel the need to mention because after all, we're talking about Kalis here & that's pretty damn apparent. After a 15 year long career with one of the most recognized skate brands in the history of skateboarding, Kalis continues to add onto his already memorable legacy by doing the same thing he's done since first joining the team. Feel free to think of anyone else with the same brand loyalty, you might need to pack a lunch & free up your day. We were proud to review & more importantly skate the DC Centric S. Hopefully by the end of reading this review, you'll be tempted to do the same.

Fallen Seventy Six Review
 |
| Week 1 to Week 3 |
It's easy to look over the Fallen team and continue to see that rail chomper image embedded in your head but you should know one thing before continuing to think that way, they're working on it. Fallen has taken a deep initiative to change things up without any fear towards the next step. With rumors of new silhouettes such as a skateable runner, a tech high top & a soccer inspired model coming in the near future, they seem to be taking an initiative to broaden their direction and as a result, their market. Recently, core brands have been getting the reputation of not being able to keep up with the financial capabilities of those companies with larger pockets. This may certainly be the case but the undeniable fact of the matter is that their materials haven't suffered as a consequence. When reading this review, you'll notice our praise for Fallen's new direction, new technology and more so, the durability of the Seventy Six from Tom Asta.

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
