NEW PRODUCTS







Supreme has released news regarding its latest artist-collaborated collection of skate decks. Bringing to light numerous iconic and established artists’ over the years, Christopher Wool is no exception to the mix as the Chicago-born native who’s art-world career in 1984. With 1984 becoming the year that marked his first solo show, Christopher Wool’s work is often featured in black and white primarily as his earlier works were characterized by “tightly controlled, gestural drip paintings and canvases utilizing decorative rollers on white backgrounds to produce floral and gate-like images.” Three years later, the artist would advance his style dabbling extensively into black/white stencil works with selective phrases. His consistency would lead him to showcase his art at the such venues as the Whitney Biennial 1989, Museum of Modern Art, New York, the New Museum of Art Lucerne, Switzerland, and Contemporary Museum of Art, Los Angeles. Three limited-edition skate decks designed by Christopher Wool will release on October 2nd stateside and October 4th in Japan.


Legendary skate co. Black Label brings us two new decks from longtime pro Salman Agah. The gold/black deck with the elephant is a graphic that Obey Obama giant Shepard Fairey did for Agah celebrating 20 years of the admirable Black Label elephant logo while the other deck is a graphic adapted from Jason Adams‘ “Cadillac Ranch” series of paintings. Trickling into official Black Label shops now, So Cal Skate Shop got first online dibs. Check out a detailed shot after the jump.

Wednesday kicks off the month of October and Nike SB supplies us with another stellar drop. A few shoes that we’ve seen (”Boba Fett” Dunk Hi, “Gold Rail” Dunk Low, Lance Mountain x Craig Stecyk Blazer Hi) along with a new sunny sky-colored P-Rod II (above), Blazer Low, and Tre AD. Hitting shops in the U.S. and UK now.

As the anticipation for the new Alien Workshop video Mind Field is reaching a boiling point (was slated for a Spring ‘08 release), we can at least try to cool down by viewing their new Fall/Winter ‘08 Catalog. It’s full of all your skate hardgoods like new decks, wheels, bearings as well as lots of apparel and accessories–check out the cool pillows and pillow cases. Besides their paramount skateboards, Alien is one of few skate companies that has an eye for style, so their apparel is known for being on-point. Check out the whole Alien Workshop Fall/Winter ‘08 Catalog and hold your peace a little longer as the video is set to release very soon!
