Airwalk Prototype 540

When thinking of the culture of the early ’90s, one would reminisce about the skate shoe brand, Airwalk. It was a fashion staple back in the day, releasing various shoe designs and colorways on a regular basis. The Airwalk Prototype 540 saw a super-limited re-release in 2009, and we're hoping that it will happen again this 2019. If you're in the lookout too, for these Prototype 540s, we've found a US 10.5 pair on eBay costing $292. It's new, in the box with a loose hang tag.

Dark Green Dunk Low Pro J-Pack Nike SB Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack Dark Green

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack Dark Green

Beloved by SB and Jordanheads alike, Nike SB‘s “J-Pack” first brought Air Jordan-style color blocking onto Swoosh Brand skate shoes all the way back in 2005’s “Pink Box” era. Now, it is coming back to the SB Dunk Low again, thanks to this new black and green makeup. Part of the reason “J-Pack” releases remain so popular is that they do more with less than many other SB Dunks, and that ethos is continued here in this Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack Dark Green. It comes with a simple black nubuck base that is mixed with rich dark green accents on the toe box, midfoot Swoosh, tongue, and rear collar. Just like other dunks, the Zoom Air unit is placed under the insole’s heel for enhanced comfort/board feel, and down below the look is completed by a contrasting white midsole and green outsole.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro J-Pack Dark Green will roll out gradually over the summer and are available now at select stockists like Premier for $90 USD.

Tony Hawk shows he's still got the moves in Detroit

Tony Hawk showed that he’s still got it, posting images Sunday of him catching air on his skateboard in and around Detroit.

Hawk, also poked fun at himself in his Twitter post:

“Thanks to @CameraJesus for capturing me in motion today in and around Detroit,” he wrote Sunday evening. “I can’t begin to explain how frightening handrails are for me these days, considering my AARP status and long dormant street skills.”

Tony has been a longtime proponent of skate parks. In fact, he helped to design the now-closed "Wayfinding," a temporary art installation and skatepark in downtown Detroit. His foundation last summer awarded more than $1.5 million to build free, public skate parks in low-income areas throughout the U.S. Riverside Park was one of the Summer 2018 Built To Play Skatepark Grant recipients.
