I'm Going To Get Mine More Than I Get Got
It all keeps adding up / I think I'm cracking up / Am I just paranoid? / Am I just stoned?
Head-to-toe selections for the tasteful skater and skate-appreciators from 35th North, CCS, and Asics Skateboarding! Nostalgia isn’t dead! New Palace! SINNERS! We’re ‘bout that action this week. Go Hawks.
💥TUESDAY MEANS WAR💥
TACTICAL UPDATES
UPPER UNIFORM
Helmet T-Shirt by 35th North
The Shop Tee is the ultimate garm to Rep Your Set or a town you’ve been lucky to visit or a banging ass graphic you’re just plain stoked on. What’s better than a Shop Tee? A Shop Tee repping the local sports teams, whether that’s drawing inspiration from a team’s colors or fully bootlegging logos. The Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots (derogatory) in the Super Bowl this Sunday, and 35th North has a timely run of tees and hoodies to celebrate the occasion. They ran back the classic football helmet graphic featuring the iconic Tron logo in Hawks blue and green, perfect to rep The Town or The Hawks. No matter where you’re from, we can all agree that it would be better for Humanity if the Seahawks win their second Super Bowl this weekend than witnessing a 7th for The Evil Empire. Brady and Belichick might be gone but New England is still owned by Robert Kraft, a nasty piece of Shit that was caught soliciting prostitution at a day spa in 2019 (an incident mentioned in the latest release of Epstein documents) and is close pals with Fuhrer Trump (who named his wife to the revamped board of sycophants tasked with destroying reputation of The Kennedy Center). In conclusion: Fuck the Patriots, Go Hawks, Long Live 35th North.
LOWER UNIFORM
Baggy Taper Denim Jeans by CCS
The baggy boom tapered off in the past year or two, but the CCS Baggy Taper is still booming because it hits every note perfectly. Yeah, they’re baggy, but they’re not Insano Big like some of the others that spawned from the popularity of Big Boys and Butter Philly Santosuossos. The taper makes sure they your kicks the respect they deserve, rather than swallow them up like some of the wannabe JNCOs some dudes were running in the early 2020s. We hear Ryan Lay was instrumental in their design, taking inspiration from classic Silvertabs and the like. And if anybody knows pants, it’s Ryan. The current selection has 10 different colorways at an incredibly reasonable $59.95 (a little more for the Real Tree camo jawns, of course) and they even offer different inseams to make sure every Soldier can find the perfect fit. With a team full of Style Gawds and hooking up the next generation from Portland Hittas to Genesis Rippas, we’re very much feeling what CCS is getting into at the moment!
FOOTWEAR
Leggerezza FB by Asics Skateboarding
We’ll put our biases on the table with this one: we’re a sucker for a football (soccer) silhouette made for the streets and we’re still obsessed with Gino Iannucci. Put ‘em together and you’ve got our undivided attention. The Asics squad got one with the Leggerezza FB, a footy-inspired silhouette marketed by the legendary style of Gino fuckin’ Iannucci. One of our favorite shoes ever is the Nike SB Air Zoom FC, another footy crep retrofitted for skateboarding and repped by the Long Island Legend himself. In fact, one of our greatest moments in Copping was grabbing his FC colorway the day before release at Goods (RIP) in Seattle as a wee high school lad. The insoles went on to inspire a tattoo decades later, and we were fortunate to be gifted the promotional scarf made with the collection by the Good Homie in a moment that compounded our love for the shoe. We’re not saying the Leggerezza captures that same magic, but it’s a goddamn beautiful looking skate shoe that looks great on everyone and, according to our sources, skates great as well. Showing up on Gino’s feet in some banging photos is simply a cherry on top.
FIELD NOTES
90s NOSTALGIA CAN STILL BE GOOD
We’re all getting pretty tired of the nostalgia industrial complex lately, but every once in a while it still hits Hard As Fuck. Nike tapped back into the chaotic styles of the 90s for a new training range for Chelsea, remixing their iconic ‘94-’96 away kit made famous by captain Dennis Wise and European legends Ruud Gullitt and Mark Hughes. The range includes a training top done up in the same style as the original Coors-sponsored kit, a full tracksuit (with hood!) for The Lads, a t-shirt, and a GOALKEEPER TOP for to give some love to the unsung heroes at the back. Much of the nostalgic BullShit needs to end, but keep the football stuff coming!
PALACE LOOKBOOK
Palace’s spring season is upon us and the lookbook is Banging. We’ve got smoking skulls, vicious dogs (and a nod to Givenchy?), and a couple lovely jackets, just to name a few highlights. The 90s Fiorentina-inspired football top is an absolute Must. And we’re stoked to see some Shawn Powers in the mix! The first wave drops this Friday (February 6th).

SINNERS
Great film. Watch it. Best Picture.
You’re now up to speed on the latest from the battlefield. Use this intel wisely and pass it on to others who may need our guidance. We can’t win the war unless we’re in it together. TWR sticker packs available here.
I got a pair of the Asics right after Xmas. They look sick, and are really very comfortable on the board. I haven't skated in them a ton, but I could.
