Filmed and edited by Dan Magee, the excursion was a collection of Europe's finest SB riders. For a little taste of it check out the clip below:

Limited Edition "Four Legged" Frogskins

The newest release in the ultra retro Frogskins from Oakley have come in just in time for the sunny days upon us! Aside from an original set of matching arms the glasses also come complete with a second set of contrasting colored arms and the lenses are interchangeable. The latest colorway to drop is Matte Denim and we have 'em.... come check 'em out!

Eric Koston for Nike SB???

The latest rumors that Eric Koston has left Lakai are confirmed, what's not clear is what is next on his agenda. The first buzz was that Vans would surely be his next stop but a pic taken by Felix Arguilles a few days ago seems to muddle the rumors even more.

The dude is a collector though..... maybe he just digs the shoes??? Whatever the case, I'm sure the K grind will still be solid regardless of what's on his feet.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out on DGK decks.... now at the shop

Mike Tyson's Punch Out was one of the most famous games for Nintendo and it's certainly stood the test of time. DGK has put out a new series of "Lights Out" decks that feature some of the characters that Little Mac had to fight including Von Kaiser, King Hippo, and Tyson himself. Come into the shop and check 'em out for yourself. And for nostalgia's sake check out the video below of some kid giving Tyson the first round TKO.

The top five scores from the entire field will move on to the finals. The final will be the top five skaters in one epic 20 minute jam where they will battle it out until the Manny master is crowned.

Why Manuals: One of the most difficult tricks, a manual requires balance, skill and creativity. With guidelines and manual pads, riders take to the course to see just what two wheeled trickery can get thrown down.

We have Nike SB's!

We're pumped to be carrying what is arguably one of the best skate shoes on the planet. Come down to the shop and try a pair or two on. Here's a glance at the first round to come in.


Nike High Pro SB - "Un-Heaven's Gate"
Designed by Todd Jordan, Nike SB Skater, in the Fall 2008. They feature a predominantly black upper constructed from leather and suede, along with purple accents on the tongue, lacing tabs, and ankle area.





Nike Blazer SB - Black/White
Takes a step back from multiple colors and patent leather. Classic.




Nike Blazer SB Elite - "420"
Part of Volume 3 designed by Grant Taylor, features brown leather/ suede design, Rasta flag on tongue as well as red, yellow and green embroidered ants on back.

Nike Dunk Mid Premium SB - "Workwear"
A combo of suede and canvas on the upper in dull beige, black and blue-grey. Design on insoles has printed image of two crossing wrenches with a ribbon and a lighting bolt along with the letters "XXL"... thus indicating where it got its name.






Nike High SB Premium - "Twin Peaks"
Features a mixture of black suede on the lacing area/toe/heel, leather on the toebox, and crackled leather on the side panels with green stitching outlining the entire upper. Named after the 90's tv drama Twin Peaks it has a blue owl placed on the ankle, red material covering the inner lining and zig zag designs on the inner sole that represent key details of the mysterious television show.


Nike Dunk Mid Pro SB - "Clubber Lang"
Named after Rocky Balboa's rival (played by Mr T.) in Rocky III. Features a calm white/ ice blue colorway with gold strap inspired by his boxing trunks. Awesome.




Nike Dunk High Premium - "The Boba Fett"
Another Star Wars inspired shoe by Nike (others include the Storm Trooper and the custom GMAN Yoda). They feature a leather/ nubuck construction along with bright yellow and red accents. Use the force.




Nike Dunk Low Premium - Black/Atom Red
The Dunk SB is modified specifically for skateboarding, featuring a Zoom Air insole for cushioning, padded tongue, and reinforced ollie zones. Special canvas upper with premium leather highlights.





Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - "Strummer Before"
Same as above, a great skate shoe. Colorway is inspired by The Clash frontman Joe Strummer's Fender Telecaster as it was when he first bought it with the 3 colored Sunburst finish. Rudie can't fail!

The Easter Shoe Hunt

It seems as if South of the North wants to give a little love in this hurting economy. This coming Easter weekend they will be hosting The Easter Shoe Hunt in D.C. which gives you the chance to hunt for skate kicks instead of eggs! All you have to do is follow them on Twitter where every hour they will be revealing the location of a pair of shoes hidden somewhere in the city. Some of the sponsors of the event are Vans, DC Shoes, Nike SB, Loyal Laces, Index Ink, Convoy Skateboards and more! For more details click here.

Bills for Spills was a Success!

Last weekend enclave was part in New Haven's first rail jam called 'Bills for Spills'. Red Bull, Heal Clothing, Hunter Mountain and enclave all teamed up to bring something new to New Haven and for a good cause! All $10 tickets contributed to HEAL.
There was a good turn out plus a lot of people walking to and from dinner that stopped to watch the guys throw down on the set-up. Some were confused, surprised and interested. All in all it was a success! People won a snowboard, others won outerwear and other free goodies. The Red Bull girls were there to make sure everyone had a red bull in their hand and if you were of age, a free red bull cocktail.

Here are some pictures from the night!
