Mackdaddy - Mack Sk8

Here is a look into the up coming drop from Japanese brand Mackdaddy, who has been going strong for about a decade in Tokyo. The obvious influence can be spotted from the design and it’s name but the Mack Sk8 offers new bright colorway to the simple classic skate shoes we know and love. Mackdaddy is a brand know for their crazy colors and designs and the combination of patent leather and suede captures their personality. Even the quirky Mackdaddy logo on the outsole is designed so that every time the shoes is worn, their logo get imprinted on the ground as footprints. There are three colors available in blue, pink and yellow and will be available for purchase very soon.

The simple looking Sk8 Hi has been modified with premium leather upper that almost resembles working boots with white stitching reinforcements.

Eyelets have been placed on the two upper lace holes giving it boot like appearance and high lighted with orange pin stripe on the white midsole bringing it all together.

Adidas Skateboarding “Diagonal” Campus Mid Vulc

To mark adidas Skateboarding’s straight-to-web video “Diagonal”, a special make-up of the Campus Mid Vulc was created. The movie created by the European faction of adidas SB features many of the team’s well-known riders Dennis Busenitz, Mark Gonzales, Tim O’Connor and Silas Baxter-Neal in addition to the likes of Chewy Cannon, Marcos Gomez, Seb Daurel, Lem Villemin and Benny Fairfax. The shoe itself follows the traditional vulcanized construction with an interesting color blocking. The majority of the shoe is black but as you hit the back, colors are injected in an overlapping sequence. The video can be seen here.

Supra Tuf Collection

Supra introduced after their regular collection first the NS (non skate) range, which consisted of shoes featuring premium materials and design.

The next sub-label to hit the market is the Supra Tuf Collection. The Supra Tuf collection, which consists of high performance skate shoes. The entire range features abrasion resistant materials on the uppers and they are also rider tested. It will be interesting to see how Supra fuses style and function in the new Tuf range.
