MAY NIKE SB's PLUS DECKS FROM GIRL/CHOCOLATE & THE KAYO CORP

Posted by PALACE5IVE
Looks like the guys over at Nike SB have managed to do it again this month and have laced us with some amazing colors in their classic silhouettes. Take a look...
 
Nike SB
 
Dunk High Pro in Grand Purple / Black
 
If you don't know about PRod's ties to Kobe Bryant, you must be living under a rock. Check the "Today Was A Good Day" PRod commercial and you'll see Kobe watch Paul as he destroys a stair set. Think about it...PRod is the King of L.A. when it comes to skateboarding. Kobe's the King of L.A. as far as basketball AND having a hot mexican wife are concerned. If you need more proof that these two are of the same cloth take a look at these...
 
"Kobe" Zoom Paul Rodriguez 2.5 in Grand Purple / Varsity Maize
 
 
Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican holiday that celebrates Mexico's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is NOT Mexican Independence Day, so for those of you who didn't know...now you do. Here's PRod's salute to the heroics of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín and his troops. (Don't think that skateboarders aren't scholars...We will school you, son!!!)
 
"Cinco de Mayo" Zoom Paul Rodriguez 3 in Pine Green / White
  
 
Zoom Bruin in Orange Blaze / Black
 
This one is for those of you out there who are looking to turn some heads this summer. If you're on the hunt for a simple silhouette that hugs your foot in all the right places with style that will get you all the attention your parent's never gave you, then look no further. Nike SB pro Stefan Janoski has got you covered for the whole summer with this slim, sexy piece...
 
Zoom Stefan Janoski in White / White
 
"Dodgers" Zoom Paul Rodriguez 2.5 in Medium Grey / Sport Red / Blue Sapphire

VANS SYNDICATE, CONS, GIRL / CHOCOLATE & DLX AVAILABLE NOW!

Posted by PALACE5IVE
New from Vans Syndicate comes the military inspired DEVGRU spec. Check out what Vans has to say about it below:
 
"The DEVGRU Spec has been initiated by Syndicate to clearly define all product technology and house the feature benefit story. As materials, applications, impact/boardfeel technologies evolve at VANS they will be researched and developed thoroughly then given the DEVGRU specification so skaters clearly know what they are getting."
 
So basically anything with the DEVGRU label is built tough as SH*T to withstand anything you're going to put it through either on the board or in the club, so chew on that!
 
TNT II Mid Cup "DEVGRU" in Crye MultiCam
 
 
MultiCam® is a single camouflage pattern designed to help the wearer hide in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. It was designed to address the real-world need for concealment in different environments, with one basic kit of gear. While there are many great location-specific patterns, MultiCam® is designed to work well across a very broad range of environmental conditions when observed in both the visual and near Infra Red (night vision) spectrums.
 
TNT Mid Cup "DEVGRU" in Ballistic Cordura (also featured on the P5ive Vans Shoe ) 
 
 
 
Also featuring TecTuff Bulletproof Leather overlays. Weartest approved. CORDURA® underlays: "How a uniform performs is crucial to a soldier’s success on the battlefield. And it all begins from the ground up with boots that can handle everything and anything. Desert heat. Mountain snow. Swamps. Marshes. Combat. The unpredictable. The unimaginable. Military boots made with CORDURA® fabrics have been there and done it all - with exemplary results. Battle-tested and proven, they’re rugged, comfortable and absolutely necessary.
 
All DEVGRU Spec shoes will feature:
 
- Outlast® temperature regulating linings that keep the foot cool when it's hot/muggy and warm and dry when it's cold and raining outside. VANS is the first company in the industry to use Outlast® in skateboard shoes.
- EVA midsole heel cartridge. Lightweight heel protection.
- BoardFeel XD construction. Best balance of feel, durability, and grip. (Molded “waffle” cupsole)
- PU footbed with ImpactSorb™ Durable cushioning that prevents heel bruising.
 
All on the seriously crafted tip! Jesus!
 
Cons drops a new colorway in the Pappalardo in Cranberry suede
 
 
New Decks from Girl / Chocolate:
 
 
 
Got a bunch of new jams from DLXSF.
