Vans Chima Pro 2
Chima Ferguson’s second Vans pro shoe is an evolution from his first. It remains a simple Vulcanised shoe but harnesses new Vans technology so there is a lot more going on under the hood. The latest Chima 2 to arrive has a dove white canvas and suede upper aboard a dark gum sole, a timeless look. The shoe has Duracap underlays so it will last longer and an UltraCush 3D footbed for impact absorption, something vital on Chima’s checklist. The Pro Vulc Lite construction means this shoe is as lightweight as possible and it uses the waffle sole we all fell in love with.

Patagonia Fleece Vests
Two new Patagonia Fleece Vests just hit the rails the second the temperature dropped. Adding one of these into the wardrobe will make those incoming winter skates more bearable. You may have spied Alex Olson wearing a sherpa fleece from Patagonia in this natural colour a year ago, it’s a classic and caught our eye straight away. We have received the Retro Pile Vest and the more technical Retro-X Vest and we can vouch for just how warm these things are. Zippered pockets mean you can streamline your kit and leave your house with less.

Hockey Nik Stain Pro Decks
Nik Stain’s smooth and powerful brand of skateboarding makes him a perfect fit for the Hockey roster, we learned he was going to be part of the squad when Vincent Touzery was announced but are stoked they pulled the trigger and gave him a board. The Hockey team list is such an epic amalgamation of humans, just imagine the full length video! Nik Stain’s well deserved debut pro board is now on the wall and the haunting graphics Hockey keep delivering are on point as always.

Australian skater owned operation Butter Goods keep delivering the goods and team riders like Casey Foley couldn’t make the clothes look any better. The well of inspiration they choose to reference and the team they support reinforces them as arbiters of taste and we look forward to each drop. Latest arrivals include new essential headgear, their Philly Denim Pants which are the 90s fit many of us are scouring for and new T-Shirts, one of which features jazz legend Marion Brown.

Madness Decks
Madness skateboards are supporters of extremely foolish behaviour. Clay Kreiner, Sam Beckett, Jack Fardell and Alex Perelson are a squad who let you know this company have a vision to destroy all transition in their path. With Bill Weiss behind operations, the finest wood Dwindle has to offer at their disposal and Francisco Goya’s amazing graphic direction, it is a unique and welcome addition to our board wall. We were hyped to be visited by the Madness team when they blew through town on their European tour and we were able to support the London leg of their journey. As always the new boards look incredible.

This Argentinian powerhouse Milton Martinez has a new signature truck for Indy with a rad graphic of his surname on the hanger, which just arrived in four sizes. Milton was awarded the coveted Thrasher SOTY award last year for good reason. We also have four sizes of Lizzie Armanto’s new truck which has hollow kingpins and axles and comes in a bold light blue colour with an ice cream graphic on the outside of the hanger and her name on the inside. These two new pro trucks are joined by a flat black Stage 11 in three sizes with red bushings and a red Original Bar Cross logo on the hanger. Ride The Best.

The National Collection 3
We just received all of the new boards from our friends over at The National Skateboard Co. The National have one of the sickest teams out there and it just got even better with the addition of Manchester legend Joe Gavin. All of the new wood looks amazing with boards spanning the size spectrum from 7.75” to 8.5”, there is even a mini board for kids which is 7.25” wide and 28” long with artwork by Rob Engvall. One thing we are super stoked on is the Maaate board which comes in 4 sizes, a T-Shirt is also available. These were made to remember our friend Ben Raemers who committed suicide last year. All of the profits they make from this capsule will be donated to the Ben Raemers Foundation which aims to end the stigma and burden that so often clouds issues of mental health.

Nike SB Blazer Mid Premium
Good to go straight out of the box, the Blazer Mid has a solid fan base for good reason. It first hit basketball courts in 1973 and the fact it is being skated in nearly 50 years later is testament to the forward thinking minds at Nike who created a classic at the beginning of their story as a company. This new iteration of a Zoom Air update classic has a Mystic Navy denim canvas and suede upper with a Sashiko swoosh. Sashiko is the Japanese art of decorative reinforcement stitching and cross stitch embellishments also appear on the side panel and at the heel. A good looking shoe from the creative minds at SB.

Salon Skateboards
Stefani Nurding has been part of the UK skateboarding scene for years now and for a time was also a firm fixture on the competition circuit. You may well have seen her shredding many of the London parks on your travels. Stef has always been outspoken about gender issues within skateboarding and her positive message of inclusivity shines through in everything she does. Salon skateboards is her own project designed for everyone. We are stoked to be stocking her boards which are made here in the UK.

Steve Kane Interview
Steve Kane, now in his mid-60s, might not be immediately familiar to everybody but the mark he made on UK skateboard culture should be. From having what might be the first documented flip trick (certainly the first documented double kickflip) to his time at the editorial helm of the second-generation Skateboard! magazine between 1988 and 1990, Steve’s contributions to our culture may have been a decade apart and many years ago, but these were the times UK skateboarding was going through two of its most fundamental and long-lasting changes.

Cory Duffel Interview
Corey is one of the most open and honest people I’ve ever met, and it took me a while to realise that. I think that’s because there are so many questions that we, as humans, just don’t want to ask each other and therefore an equal number of topics that don’t get discussed as they should. Maybe it’s because we don’t really want the answer, or they’re questions we’d be uncomfortable answering ourselves, but if you don’t ask, you’ll never learn and you’ll never move forwards.

Girl X Beastie Boys Decks
Girl come through once again with some wall hangers for the Beastie Boys fans in our audience. Many moons ago the Beastie Boys played in the basement of Slam in Covent Garden when Ill Communication first came out and for years the very first Girl x Beastie Boys deck from the 90's hung in our window. Recent years have seen Girl release some very collectable Beastie Boys boards featuring Spike Jonze images of the “three bad brothers you know so well” and they have always flown out. These is the latest series further celebrating a beautiful relationship.

What began as the company name for Jason Dill’s T-Shirt and clothing experiments in the early 2000s evolved into something far greater. When Dill and AVE decided to start a board company and usher in the next chapter after their stint at Alien Workshop Fucking Awesome was the obvious choice for a name and it has become one of the most keenly watched companies in skateboarding. We are always hyped to receive anything new from the FA camp, Dill’s graphic direction is as on point as the skills of the diverse team who ride for him. Check out the latest…

The Blazer Mid is one of Nike SB’s most popular styles, for many it is the perfect skate shoe. That grippy sole unit started squeaking around basketball courts in 1973 and the fact it is being skated in nearly 50 years later is testament to the forward thinking minds at Nike who created a classic at the beginning of their story as a company. The shoe translates seamlessly to skateboarding, it offers support, cushioning, clean lines and that good looking toe box . The Zoom Air unit beneath the heel of the insole is the Nike SB refinement to further cover the impact protection skateboarding requires. In Black and White it is a stone cold classic.

Pontus Alv has finally released his Last Resort shoe company into the world. Displeased with wearing heavily branded shoes and subscribing to an established aesthetic Pontus decided to contribute to the skate shoe landscape with his own creation. In his own words "These shoes are made by and for Skateboarders around the world, girls and boys out on the streets having fun, being creative. We don’t have any corporate backing, no one telling us what to do. And neither should you." We love everything that comes from Pontus’ creative mind and are stoked to be stocking this new shoe company from the beginning.

Powell Peralta Flight Decks
Powell Peralta continue to innovate, something which is at the heart of this company started by George Powell and Stacy Peralta back in 1978. Flight construction is their latest contribution to skateboarding. You will have seen the videos of these boards being run over by cars and flexing not breaking. That is all well and good and serves to demonstrate how strong they are but they are uniquely amazing to skate and justify their higher price tag. Flight decks are thinner, stronger and longer lasting. They allow you to ollie higher because of greater rebound and snap, flip faster because they are thinner than your phone and maintain pop for an extended period of time due to their epoxy infused, fiber reinforced structure. You have to try one to believe it. These are the latest flight deck pro models endorsed by Salaman Aaah, Scott Decenzo, Brad McClain, Ben Hatchell and Charlie Blair.

'93 Til Book by Pete Thompson
This new release could be one of the most incredible skateboard books ever released. Pete Thompson’s journey as a photographer saw him shoot the best skateboarders in the world during a golden era.

As well as Pete’s iconic images the book contains quotes and anecdotes from the skateboarders who star in them, legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and more. We have limited edition first run ‘skate shop only’ copies containing 6 extra pages of bonus Tom Penny photos. You need this book in your collection.

Pete Thompson Interview
Back at the tail-end of the 1980s when Pete Thompson started shooting skate photos, it was an entirely different landscape he was a part of. Before digital, film—and processing, and postage—cost money, and if your shot wasn’t in one of the main magazines the next month, there’s a real likelihood that nobody would ever see it. Things were moving so fast, and that wasn’t a time when skateboarding as a whole cared much for its own history, so the notions of looking back, or even of media preservation, were still a long way off. It’s slightly ironic that this was during the time of the most significant changes happening in skateboarding with tricks, spots, clothes and shoes changing and updating month to month, and with the world relying upon magazines and VHS videos to see what was happening on the other side of the country, or around the world. Media could only move so fast, and it was impossible to cover everything, impossible to run every photo, with the restrictions of monthly print magazines seriously limiting what we could see.

Their Wafflecup sole is a Vans breakthrough which offers valuable capsule support with all the grip and boarfeel of a Vulcanised sole. Gilbert Crockett is one of our favourite skateboarders out there and this collaboration hits every note, all the way down to the custom box and Gilbert keyring. It’s this attention to details we have come to expect and love to see.

Santa Cruz Total Dot VX Decks
We are backing companies striving to innovate when it comes to producing skateboards. These new VX Dot decks from Santa Cruz are their contribution to the evolving landscape of products out there. We have found many customers who try these new technologies come back for more, albeit not as quickly as they are designed to outlast a normal board. VX Dot decks blend 5 regular sheets of Canadian Maple ply with additional sheets of a carbon/fibreglass blend they call Quad X technology. The Quad X layers are used on the top sheet and the second from bottom, producing boards which are lighter, stronger and more responsive than regular all Maple 7 ply decks. Try this futuristic technology from Santa Cruz and your board can also longer during those winter months.

Krux Nora Vasconcellos Animal Trucks
Krux are the trucks with the hole. That hole in the hanger makes their trucks instantly recognisable, they are also known for supporting some of the most interesting skateboarders in the game which has in turn led to many years of colourful contributions to the truck cabinet. All truck companies produce coloured truck options but Krux always ramp it up to another level like they have done with this Nora Vasconcellos Animal Kingdom t2ruck. These trucks have a cast of interesting characters on the hanger signed off by Nora. They are finished with a lavender hanger, a colour which ihas become synonymous with her. Nora’s output on a skateboard is never boring and that comes down to any product she puts her name to.

Santa Cruz Slime Balls Soft Wheels
Santa Cruz graphics are powerful things, they can transport us back to our childhood in seconds. This is largely due to Jim Phillips whose iconic imagery built the brand. Slimeballs wheels are still driven by his artistry. They manage to conjur up that time portal to when our minds were first blown by the graphical whirlwind skateboarding immersed us in. These new Swirly Swirl wheels can do that just by a glance at those sick psychedelic colour combos. They are the 80s in urethane form. Amazing soft wheels from Santa Cruz in classic shapes which deliver the speedy ride they always have courtesy of that 78a formula. Try some of our best selling soft wheels in stunning new colour combos.

Beautiful new boards from this London based company just arrived which include some Alien imagery which belongs on a skateboard like nothing else.

Senior Skateboarding
“Grow up!” That’s what the miserable old geezer yelled at me from his car window, turning the steering wheel slowly in his string-backed leather driving gloves. His fine trilby hat was pulled down over his eyes, restricting his field of view, but in reality I think it was his 1950s mentality obscuring his vision, rather than any dapper looking hat.
I was pushing along the road on my way to the supermarket for essential supplies during lock-down, the wheels beneath my board sending gentle vibrations up through my body, reminding me that I was still alive, and even a mundane essential trip to the supermarket and back can be a wind in the hair thrill. Not that I have any hair these days, I took up skateboarding in my early 50s.

Cleaver Skateboards
Cleaver skateboards is the brainchild of Diego ‘The Butcher’ Bucchieri. He started his company in 2013 after parting ways with Toy Machine to focus on building something of his own. At the start of the year the "You Got It!" part Diego dropped with Roberto Alemañ dedicated to P-Stone and Jake Phelps reminded us that he is not slowing down any time soon and shortly afterwards we got our first drop of boards all the way from Spain. In our recent interview with him he said “Skateboarding for me has been my motivation, my driver, my guide”. His passion continues to steer everything he does and we are stoked to have Cleaver boards on the wall, these are the latest to arrive.

Catch Up with Diego Bucchieri
Diego Bucchieri is an inspiration, a legend whose contribution to skateboarding is firmly stamped in the history books and onto our grey matter. We all came to know of ‘The Butcher” after his early trips from Argentina to California where he shredded everything in his path, found him a home on Think and later Toy Machine. His single minded dedication to carving his own path blazed a trail for others outside of the US intent on realising their dreams, a path which continues today.

adidas Matchbreak Super
The Matchbreak Super is a brand new shoe from the adidas Skateboarding camp released for the first time this year. It looks like it’s been part of the line for years due to it’s inspiration drawing heavily from the archives. They’ve made another great skate shoe with an Adituff toe box for durability, an Adiprene sockliner for comfort and that gum rubber sole unit offers unparalleled grip. The classic white, navy and scarlet colourway accentuates the panelling and they are a great shape for skateboarding.

Real Skateboards
Real skateboards are the benchmark for doing the right thing, a company with strong ideals. Whether they are urging skaters to vote, creating incentives for our community or looking out for the environment, the vision at the core of the company is progressive. This is largely due to Jim Thiebaud’s unwavering mission for skateboarding to drive positive change and it’s inspiring. These new Renewal boards are evidence of their commitment. They use recycled wood in their construction. This low waste method produces a high quality board for a lower price point and lessens our impact on the environment. We expect to see more developments like this as Real pave the way as always.

Nike SB Heritage Vulc Premium Eniz
This new Heritage Vulc Premium is one of the Nike SB gems plucked from the latest season. This classic Vulcanised shoe has won over many with it’s light sleek design, long one piece toe box and simple aesthetics. This new colourway was created in collaboration with team rider Eniz Fazliov. The sockliner and colour palette are inspired by the phenomenal Northern Lights, paying homage to Eniz’ Finnish heritage, even the stitching and logos use the same hue as the nation’s Blue Cross Flag. Eniz dropped a four minute clip absolutely shredding in this shoe to coincide with its release which very much proves they work for Finland’s most powerful export.

Casper Brooker, one of Southbank’s favourite sons, keeping the The Undercoft’s folklore fresh, and whose recent clip there has been on loop in the hands of many. We checked in with Casper for a skate video, album, film and book recommendation however Casper shared a lot more than just that. As always, it was a pleasure catching up. His video recommendation and the time period he discussed brought back memories of his early trips to town, chomping sweets in Slam after a morning at Southbank and just before a day in the city. It’s amazing to see where he is at now, inspiring new generations who are doing the same thing. Enjoy some insights from Isle’s powerhouse.

Nike SB Shane T
Shane O’Neill has been skating for Nike SB since he was thirteen years old. His unique technical ability lights up phone screens on the regular. This Australian phenomenon continually blows minds, but now any new clips are always in his new pro shoe. For his first pro model, he created a shoe very close to his favourite of all time the Janoski but updated it to his specifications and made it his own with a sun-inspired logo that can be found on the tongue and the heel. The Shane T is an understated instant classic, good to go out of the box with a Zoom Air unit in the heel to back it all up.

Pontus Alv is involved at every step of the creative process. This is why Polar products are always amazing and things like board shape are a conversation with the riders, ensuring that the stuff they put out there is what they want to ride. It also means that when it’s time to put out some more interesting shapes Pontus can draw from his rich skateboarding experience and reference creations from the past. These boards are born from the 1991/1992 era when shapes were really evolving. That ‘Leave My Trunk Alone’ deck with the wheel wells is a thing of beauty.

Dennis Busenitz got his first signature shoe from adidas in 2009 and his force of nature approach to skateboarding is as synonymous with the brand as the silhouettes he has created for them. You can’t imagine Busenitz without the three stripes above his board. Latest shoes are the Busenitz vintage in Crystal White, Dennis’ reimagined Copa Mundial boot is given the vintage treatment and looks amazing because of the premium suede upper. Unlike the original, this release trades out the oversized tongue for a regular one giving it a life of it’s own. This model is joined by his Vulc II shoe in black with a gum rubber sole, one of the best skate shoes we have ever stocked.

Darren Pearcy Interview
There are few other subcultures that so seamlessly combine an essentially anti-establishment spirit with a relentless willingness to brand and monetise everything in the way that skateboarding does. From the gaudy energy drink logos and sports arena handrail gladiators of today, right back to the touring Plexiglass fullpipes of the Pepsi-Cola skateboard team in the 1970s – this apparent contradiction between the ‘fuck you’ ethics of skateboarding-as-a-thing and the greased palms of a five decade gentleman’s agreement with corporate finance is part of what makes our shared hobby so intriguing.

New Balance Foy 306 & Team 379
The New Balance Numeric skateboarding program continues to grow steadily. Tiago Lemos, the most recent NB team acquisition recently announced his pro shoe which sees the technical side of their shoe line expand and evolve. The great thing about their range though is it’s diversity. There is something for everyone and simpler, much loved Vulcanised shoes like the Jamie Foy 306 and the 379 still sit at the core of the catalogue. Both of these styles are great to skate in because that gum rubber sole unit is as grippy as it gets and the latest colourways are amazing. Be sure to check out both of these styles and the rest of the NB Numeric range.

When Jason Dill and AVE left Alien Workshop in 2013 there was a lot of speculation about what would happen next and what team these two legends would find themselves on. Now you simply couldn’t imagine how skateboarding would look without Fucking Awesome. Dill says he never wanted to start a board company because of how much hard work it is but we’re glad he did, the amount of hard work he puts in is why the company is so incredible and stands out. The latest boards look beautiful as ever and Vincent Touzery’s first pro board with his class photo graphic joins the line up.

What began as some hand sprayed griptape grew into a movement, nowadays you can’t go to a skate park without seeing their logo rolling past you. This collaboration with Vans makes perfect sense. As well as the Old Skool Pro we have also just received the Era Pro. Iconic Shake Junt imagery repeats across the canvas side panels, the Shake Junt dollar bill initials sit on the heel and Shake Junt is embossed on the sole unit. Finished with gold eyelets, the shoe itself is a Shake Junt take over. Duracap Underlays and Ultracush HD sickliness make it the best the Era Pro has ever been to skate in.

FA are one of the most keenly watched companies in skateboarding. This is due to their heavy squad and a less is more approach to their output which is always on point. It is also of course due to having Jason Dill steering the ship and putting out the most interesting graphics we ever hang on the board wall. The new boards are incredible, the slicks are works of art and Dill’s Psycho Sources board with the dipped white tail reminds us of golden era Alien. Their latest video offering “Dancing On Thin Ice” has been on repeat over here, these boards won’t hang around for long.

Ryan Lay is one of those skateboarders whose skill you might overlook simply because they have so many other things about them equally capable of commanding your interest.
In case that sounds like I’m damning him with faint praise, I’ll put it this way: if youth worker, political campaigner, charity ambassador and insightful podcast host are on your resume then being able to switch backside lipslide handrails and take an ingenuitive eye to the old whizz-plank is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of things.

Cleaver Skateboard Decks
Cleaver Skateboards is a new company for us, the brainchild of Diego Bucchieri, one of skateboardings true forces of nature. No prizes for guessing how 'The Butcher" came up with the name. We now stock amazing looking boards from Cleaver which Diego started in 2013 after parting ways with Toy Machine to focus on his own project. The recent "You Got It!" part Diego just dropped with Roberto Alemañ dedicated to P-Stone and Jake Phelps was pure inspiration and we are stoked to have his board on the wall.

Vans Saddle SID Pro
The Vans Sid pro looks just as good today as when it first came out in 1995. It’s an amazing silhouette plucked from their archives and introduced into their line following a Supreme collaboration which unearthed it for the first time. Upgrades like Duracap reinforcement and an Ultracush HD sockliner for cushioning bring this archive model up to speed and make the Saddle Sid Pro a welcome addition to our wide range of styles from the Vans family.

Each season contains more pieces we would want to wear and long may it continue. Here is the latest on the shelves from down under.

Vans Slip-On Pro
The Vans Slip-On was first released in 1977, it is an integral part of the company DNA and this Jeff Spicoli classic has been a mainstay on our shoe shelf for many years. It’s a design which has often been copied and never bettered, until now! Vans have updated it with Pro upgrades like Duracap underlays and a Co-molded PU1 inner sole. This simple Black/White colourway is as strong as it gets.

Dickies Work Pants
Dickies have been producing workwear since 1922. Our staff and team started ordering Dickies from further afield many years back so we made the decision to start stocking them. They quickly became our best selling trousers and their popularity keeps growing. We have all the staple colours covered in our favourite fits as well as new additions like these Coral Blue 873’s.

Venture V Light Trucks
Venture are one of the few truck companies we have always kept in stock here at Slam. The original street skating staple has continuously evolved. Venture were always known as the lightest trucks and many of us opted for them for that reason back in the day. They build on this reputation which is part of the truck’s story with the V Light editions where the signature V shaped hanger sits aboard a hollow kingpin which further shaves off some weight. Awake to Venture.

Ricta Super Crystals Wheels
Ricta wheels pride themselves on producing the fastest urethane on the market and have dedicated themselves to perfecting the formulas they put out there since 2000. Their Super Crystals are something else, not many companies put out wheels like this. They are slim profile and made of crystal clear urethane in a 99A hardness which functions like the Ricta’s you know and love. Buy something a little different and add some colour to your next set up.

Brad Johnson Interview
Aside from a career as a pro skater in his own right, Brad has also been responsible for capturing a lot of the most important S.F. footage of the 1990s, with heavy contributions to all of the legendary skate videos of that time. From Trilogy to Mouse to Timecode, Brad was the guy wielding the Hi8 filming vast amounts of the iconic tricks that went down at San Francisco’s legendary street spots without really getting the recognition that his contribution to skate video history deserves. By his own admission, Brad never really viewed himself as a ‘filmer’ as such, more so a skater who just happened to have a video camera on hand in the right place at the right time.

adidas Busenitz Vulc II
Dennis Busenitz’ signature shoe for adidas is as synonymous with the brand as he is himself. The Busenitz Vulc II is an upgraded version of the redesigned Vulcanised version of his OG model, it’s better than ever. The Geofit collar, molded AdiPRENE sockliner and rubber heel clip mean they offer ultimate stability and keep your foot supported. They have a reinforced, Geoflex outsole for improved grip and durability and the one piece toe so many fell in love with. This has remained a stock shoe since it was first released for good reason, it’s one of the best skate shoes on the shelf.

Tobin Yelland Interview
Not only is Tobin Yelland in the fairly unique position of having shot for each of the main US skateboard magazines—simultaneously at times—but it could reasonably be said that he worked with each one during its most pivotal era. Shooting for Thrasher when San Francisco street skating truly took hold, Transworld during the infancy of the tech skating boom and shooting Europe 1995 for Big Brother, it’s not by chance that Tobin and his camera were in the right place at the right time, again and again. Chances are that your favourite skateboarder, spot or style of the time looked so good because it was Tobin behind the lens, shaping our view of what was going on during these defining times and humanising the people doing it. These were the people truly pushing skateboarding, familiar names or not, and Tobin’s compositions and techniques ensured that we noticed, and remembered.

Vans X Slam City Skates
We are beyond stoked to have just released our collaboration with Vans. The last time we worked together on a shoe was for our 30th anniversary and this collection drops just before our 35th. Read all about the inspiration for our new Slam City Skates x Vans collection in a post written by Neil Macdonald. You will find out more about a Slam advert which appeared in RaD magazine back in 1989 featuring artwork by Chris Long. It is Chris’ burning heart illustration which is central to our new team up with Vans. Neil describes the skateboarding landscape this ad appeared in and explores the impact and relevance of Slam ads and the artistic freedom they embodied. You will also find out more about another ad from the same era which inspired the new one above shot by Sam Ashley. This features Slam team rider Danny Brady giving our new Sk8 Mid his backside flip seal of approval.

Vans X Slam Sk8-Mid Pro and Lampin Pro
We are beyond stoked to have just released our collaboration with Vans. The last time we worked together on a shoe was for our 30th anniversary and this collection drops just before our 35th. The pack revolves around two shoe models first released in the 90s, the Lampin and the Sk8 Mid. These timeless vulcanised styles from the archives look just as fresh today as when they were first introduced, it was a quick decision for these silhouettes to be the canvas. We opted for a monochrome version of the Lampin Pro and Sk8 Mid, black and white, respectively. Each of these are further defined by a burning heart graphic (originally penned by Chris Long for a Slam ad in 1989) which is contrast stitched onto each. This imagery appears on the heel of the Lampin and the canvas sidewall of the Sk8 Mid. Each shoe is complimented by a red Vans ‘Off The Wall’ heel tab and sits aboard the gum rubber waffle sole we all fell in love with so many years ago. Both the shoes and the artwork which adorns them are plucked from one of our favourite eras and they celebrate an exciting, formative episode in our history. Unlike their 90s counterparts each of these new incarnations feature Popcush insoles and Duracap underlays for updated comfort and durability.

Vans X Slam Heart Desires Hood
Just like the shoes, the ‘Heart Desires’ hood which accompanies them features embroidery of the burning heart Chris Long designed over 30 years ago. The heart is contrast stitched in white on a black, heavyweight cotton Vans hood. This bold imagery appears on the chest. It is a classic hood design with ribbed cuffs and hem, a front pouch pocket and a shoelace drawstring hood. Vans x Slam City Skates co-branding appears subtly on the sleeve.

Vans X Slam Heart Desires T-Shirt
The ‘Heart Desires’ T-Shirt further references the 1989 advert driven by Chris Long’s artwork. His burning heart in the eye catching full colour of the original is screened onto the pocket. Slam City Skates and Vans branding is printed on the sleeve of the white shirt in magenta. There is also a back print, between the shoulders the ‘All Your Heart Desires’ message which headed up the original advert appears in the seminal Slam font also created by Chris Long. Enjoy exploring some Slam City Skates history and we hope you find a piece of this collection suited to you.

Nike SB Nyjah Free 2
The Nyjah 2 from Nike SB continues where his first shoe left off, it is the most progressive skate shoe the swoosh have ever released. It builds on design elements of the popular Zoom Air Spiridon running shoe, taking that toe bumper surround and making it ready for skateboarding. An auxetic outsole means more grip in all zones and no break in period so they’re good to go out of the box. The lacing system and mesh panelling cement their futuristic aesthetic. Try this innovative new shoe designed by someone dedicated to pushing the limits of what is possible.

We have always been stoked to hang a full Hecox series on the board wall, they are things of beauty and he really owns this style of board design.

Seu Trinh: Creative Destruction
I subscribe to both the defining ethos espoused by the two major skate mags (Transworld and Thrasher) since roughly 1983. I don’t view them as mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite—I believe they are the Yin and Yang of our pastime. We must Skate and Create, but we cannot completely do so without at least a speck of Skate and Destroy—lest there is no room left to create. Conversely—those adamant about Skate and Destroy must also at some point embrace a speck of Skate and Create—lest they land at the dead-end of outright nihilism. Neither can fully exist for long without the other.

Before Baker skateboards began, serious units of the Baker Bootleg VHS were flying out of the door at our old Neal’s Yard address. This was the blueprint for the crew to company evolution and Andrew Reynolds has built an empire with Baker at it’s core. It’s been amazing watching the company grow and boards have been on our wall throughout. The latest wood to arrive includes pro boards from Reynolds himself, Riley Hawk, Rowan Zorilla, Vader Sylla, Tyson Peterson, Spanky and Tristan Funkhouser. The latest graphics were designed by Spanky, Mike Gigliotti and Santino Gagliarducci.

Ricta Speedrings Wheels
The marketing tagline for Ricta Speedrings is “crush your landings, not your wheels”. They are the wheel of choice for team riders like David Gonzales, Greg Lutzka and Jimmy Carlin who obviously put any product they ride through its paces. Speedrings have a solid plastic core braced by two layers of Rapido urethane. They are designed to stay solid on impact. This means no loss of speed when you’re jumping down stairs or gaps. This can mean the difference between rolling away triumphant or the squish you sometimes get with single compound wheels which pitches you to the floor. Ricta Speedrings offer maximum speed and smooth control and may be the helping hand you need to roll away from those stairs you’ve been eyeing up. Try something new next time you swap out your wheels.

We just received the new Janoski Flyleather, a shoe born from Stefan’s quest for more environmentally conscious practises. Flyleather is comprised of at least 50% recycled leather fiber from scraps that would otherwise be left on the factory floor. Based on abrasion testing Flyleather is also both lighter and more durable than traditional leather so it’s a win win. Try out this new material on the ver popular remastered Janoski, another step in Nike SB’s direction towards encompassing more sustainable innovations

éS Footwear
éS will always represent an amazing time in skateboarding history, they embraced technical innovation and elevated skate shoes forever. These are the three latest shoes to arrive. The Evant is a new éS silhouette which shows that they continue to innovate. It is a new shoe but it definitely takes it’s cues from the K3 they released back in 2000, which in turn took it’s cues from a Jordan 12. One big loop of inspiration tweaked by the creative minds at Sole Tech and reappropriated to bring us something new which looks amazing in tan. These are joined by the newly revived Tribo in a timeless grey colourway. They have also chosen to reissue the Quattro which first came out in 1998 and was a Ronnie Creager favourite. We love everything éS are doing right now and can vouch for how amazing these are to skate in.

Zach Riley Offerings
It was a pleasure to be able to do this interview with Zach Riley in our second Offerings feature following Casper Brooker’s a few weeks ago. You will have seen Zach killing it in the Blips - Cover Version video or shredding all the way from Land’s End to John O’Groats in Jim Craven’s Island. Also if you visit our shops in person, the chances are that Zach will have been one of the friendly faces looking after you. Recently you may have seen some of the amazing work he created during lockdown in the latest copy of Vague magazine.

Mason Silva Interview
Mason Silva’s output over the past few years is a near-perfect case study of skateboarding media coverage, circa 2020. Solo parts, enders in a full-length, a Thrasher cover and article, a heavy introduction to his new board sponsor swiftly followed by a year-in-the-making video part; all with room to breathe and peppered with a few single tricks destined to do the rounds. Since Mason first came to my attention, I’ve rinsed everything he’s put out and been left – not hungry for more – but just plain excited for the next occasion I’d get to see him blasting across the screen. “Less is more” is the trademark of a powerhouse, after all.

Powell Peralta Flight Decks
Powell Peralta continue to bring innovation to the table with their incredible flight decks. Although more expensive than a regular deck these things are literally indestructible. Our warehouse manager Jak Pietryga ran one over in a Range Rover and then did a 360 shove-it over a picnic table! Could one of these be the game changer you’ve been looking for? Their epoxy infused, finer reinforced structure gives them an “everlasting pop” that doesn’t fade, they are thinner, lighter and could help you attain that Danny Wainwright ollie prowess…

Thunder Lights II Trucks
Thunder remain one of the best truck companies and just a glance at that hanger will forever make us think of Ed Templeton. The quick response geometry of their trucks provides a unique, fast turn many have fallen in love with. The newest Thunder Light II’s are an amazing truck, offering the same great feeling turn but now even lighter. They have a low set hollow kingpin and super strong, lightweight hollow axles making them one of the lightest trucks we sell. We recommend shaving some weight off your set up with some of these.

Archive: Metropolitan
Metropolitan is a company romanticised by many of us which represents a magical time in skateboarding history and our own personal lives. Synonymous with Ari Marcopoulus’ photography, it offered us a window into what was happening out on the East Coast. It was like the East Coast Spitfire for a minute with team riders like Bobby Puleo, Ryan Hickey, Ivan Perez, Maurice Key, Keith Hufnagel and more. The company was short lived but it’s aesthetic is one burned into our retinas. Keith Hufnagel recently revived the company and we are glad that he has. We are stoked to be one of a selected group of retailers carrying Metropolitan.

adidas Tyshawn
Tyshawn Jones’ pro shoe for adidas ushered in new energy. One of the most exciting skateboarders to watch with an amazing basketball inspired shoe which doesn’t look like anything else around. We were beyond stoked last year when Tyshawn came to visit us for his shoe launch and we got to see his raw talent in action. When the shoe was first announced Adidas did a limited all white run of it which was distributed to friends and family. This new colour way is a reference to that but a translucent gum rubber trim makes it look even fresher. These things are amazing to skate in, one of the best skate shoes adidas have ever released.

Thrasher
Since Slam first opened it’s doors in 1986 a lot has changed in the skateboarding world but one thing which has been a reliable constant is Thrasher magazine. This publication has been there throughout, covering it all and landing on our counter month after month. Long may it run. It remains one of the main windows into the ever evolving world we love and we proudly represent products from ’the bible’. The last few years have seen the magazine release even more interesting clothing experiments. We are stoked on the latest Thrasher arrivals. There’s a Rainbow version of the classic mag logo which now available on a hood and T-Shirts. There’s also an awesome Gold and Purple colourway of the Diamond Logo Hood. Be sure to check out these new clothing options and pick up the latest copy of the mag.

Alcohol Blanket
Skateboard Cafe team rider Ollie Lock took what he had learned from working with Cafe founder Rich Smith and ran with it, creating his own clothing company experiment Alcohol Blanket. Deep at the core of the company is Ollie’s love for embroidery and how it looks, something which led him to learn how to do it himself at the start of his journey with Alcohol Blanket. The beautifully embroidered corduroy caps in the latest season celebrate some movie cult classics Ollie loves, namely the films Fun In Acapulco, Groundhog Day and The Thing. Great stuff as always from a company we are always excited to receive new pieces from. Find out more about Alcohol Blanket in our latest company Profile

Powell Peralta
Powell Peralta was founded in 1978 by George Powell and Stacy Peralta. Their legendary team, the VCJ imagery which accompanied it plus an iconic video back catalogue defined a huge part of skateboarding in the 80's and our childhoods. The Powell Ripper graphic and the Skull & Sword will always look nothing less than incredible to us. There’s not much imagery out there which has that longevity, truly visionary stuff. Here are some of the latest decks from Powell Peralta featuring Vernon Courtlandt Johnson’s inimitable graphics in a variety of sizes.
