Thrasher Magazine has been in circulation for more than 20 years. They have always been 100% about skateboarding. During that time they have done many product collaborations. Here is their latest: THRASHER x BAKER Black/Leopard Skate shoe. There is not much information about the shoe. For the looks of it the classic simple silhouette will work perfect for board feel and style. The minute we get release date information we will let you know.

In case you haven’t heard by now Vans got together with DQM to open DQM’s second location in SOHO. The Vans DQM General will keep its authenticity and attention to the skateboarding lifestyle wich keeps growing in NYC. Read all the details and see the rest of the images from the store. If you’re planing on attending the event you must RSVP and get there early…
**via DQM**
**DQM is proud to announce the opening of our second store, in partnership with Vans, The VANS DQM General. The store is located in the heart of Soho at 93 Grand Street, in a landmark building and a neighborhood full of history. The General will not only carry on the mindset, respect and authenticity of DQM, but teams it up with the knowledge and values of Vans, to cater to the growing skateboarding and lifestyle community in New York City and beyond.
“Over the past five years, no fewer than 100 people have asked me why we don’t have a store in New York City,” says Doug Palladini, Vans’ Vice President of Marketing. “My answer always was that we had so many great wholesale partners that our own store didn’t make sense, so when Chris from DQM approached us, it was the perfect opportunity. Chris and DQM really understand Vans as well as city culture and history, and know just how to bring our brands together to make something new and relevant for an area like SoHo”.
“Vans has been a huge part of my life in New York both in the world of professional skateboarding – I rode for Vans for a time in the early 90s – and then as a retailer, selling them to my customers every day for the past 8 years,” says Chris Keeffe, founder and owner of DQM. “Vans has this long and storied history coming out of California, but at DQM we felt like the story of what Vans means to people in New York City can still be told through the prism of our Vans experience: we don’t have pools to skate and we have snow on the ground for five months a year. We grew up finding a way to wear Vans that fit the style and climate of our city. I wanted to create a space where we can tell this story from the ground up; a place that’s rooted in our local community and makes sense to New Yorkers.”
The General will carry a curated selection of Vans footwear and apparel for men, women and kids; DQM apparel; and a small collection of DQM for VANS designed apparel and footwear available only at the New York store.
The Vans DQM General officially opens Thursday 9/15 at 93 Grand Street. Hours will be 11 am – 7 pm. Monday – Friday and 11 am – 6 pm Sundays. Ph. 212.226.7776. Follow us on Twitter @VANSDQM.**

I met Ty Evans during Art Basel 2009. At the time I had no idea who I had just met. Ty Evans is responsible for a bunch of well known skate videos like: Modus Operandi, Fully Flared, etc. So I was pretty stocked when I realized who he was. By the way the kids on this video are killing it. Werd!

I can’t believe it happened but it did. A perfect blend of Villains and Beautiful Villains all in one place. Yes, I’m making reference to what I found last nigh when I visited THE STAGE. A new lounge bar in the design district. The place has a great vibe.
Last night IAM YOUR VILLAIN productions did: THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAIN and Launch Party for FOX HOUSE clothing. The party also incorporated the “BUM RUSH THE SPOT” contest. It turn in to be one of the best parties I’ve gone to in a long time.
BUM RUSH THE SPOT was going on in the patio. Some of the best skaters in Miami were out there ripping that mini ramp. At exactly 11:30 Fox House did their fashion show. It was short and sweet. Everyone loved their clothes. Then it was back to the band and the skate contest. A little later the Montaco Food Truck showed up… I found my self having all my favorite things in one place: Skating, Good Food and a cool stylish crowd… Not to mention the music was dope. Miami needed a place like this. Werd!
