NM 440 Skate Shop Day Shoe

The people behind Skate Shop Day teamed up with New Balance Numeric on this very special skateshop exclusive "NB 440" shoe. This white / burgundy / gum colorway was inspired by a pair of Kareem Campbell's Kicks from the 90's which just makes it that much cooler. Available tomorrow, 2/19 - $74.95.

2nd Annual Skate Shop Day

Friday, February 19th is the second annual "Skate Shop Day". A day dedicated to supporting your local skate shop. February is historically one of the slowest months for shops, so the folks who founded Skate Shop Day wanted to give people a reason to swing through their local shop and show support for these stores that are the cornerstones of local skate scenes around the world. Just as "Go Skateboarding Day" is meant to get skaters outside, "Skate Shop Day" is designed to get skaters into the shop. Our pals at REAL Skateboards and Spitfire Wheels whipped up these limited edition decks and wheels to celebrate the occasion which are available exclusively in-store starting on Friday, February 19th. Skate them or hang ‘em on the wall. There’s only 50 decks available in 3 different sizes. FREE VANS x "Skate Shop Day" tees will be given out to anyone who purchases a set of limited edition Spitfire wheels and a Real X "Skate Shop Day" deck (while supplies last). So Much Love to all the locals who support their local skate shops here in Duluth and around the world.

Natas Blind Bags

This Friday February 19th (Skate Shop Day) we're releasing a limited number of "Blind Bag" Natas Kaupas Panther SMA Reissue decks. Each sealed blind bag contains a randomly assorted variant skate deck featuring a classic Natas Panther SMA Reissue graphic. If you're lucky you might walk away with a rare, signed and hand numbered variant. One extremely lucky soul will unwrap a new vintage Natas Panther from 1989. In store sales only. See you on Friday!

Polar Skateboards

Polar skate decks have been slipping and sliding off the racks lately. Is this due to the Polar Vortex we're experiencing right now? I don't know. Grab a new ride and head to your local indoor park in the meantime.
