Retail Spotlight: No Comply

frederickm — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 21:27:07 +0000

Opened by brothers Simon and Elias Bingham in 2007, No Comply has established itself as the go-to skate shop in downtown Austin. This family owned shop offers hard goods, shoes and apparel. In addition to its solid inventory, NC is also environmentally conscious, and makes an effort to recycle used skate products collected throughout their community and sell them in their shop.

The store stocks top-notch brands such as Adidas Campus Vulc, Adidas Skateboarding, Alien Workshop, Altamont, Anti-Hero, Benny Gold, Brixton, Chocolate, Diamond, Emerica, Girl, Habitat, Krooked, Lakai Manchesters, Matix, Nike Dunks, Nike SB, Roger, and RVCA. Oh, and the best part? The shopping experience is pleasant, thanks to the brothers doing without the whole I-own-a-skate-shop-and-can-act-like-an-a-hole-to-everyone mindset.

adidas Originals Ciero Mid

Joe — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:33:58 +0000

adidas is continuing to push the Ciero, a slim sneaker that the brand contends takes on double-duty acting as both a skate and fixed gear shoe. We've seen the first two make-ups by Mark Gonzales and BJ Betts that dropped this month, now check the latest colorway that completes the tri-fecta.This mid-cut version is probably the strongest to date, thanks to the black suede/dark denim mix on the upper. The sneakers have hit Colette already, but look for them to drop stateside in a few weeks.

adidas Skateboarding Food Court Collection

Joe — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:34:19 +0000

adidas skateboarding will drop a 4-pack of sneakers that take inspiration from standard food courts in shopping malls. The orange-peel type Polson ST (after the jump) mimics slushy-mall hot spots, like Orange Julius, while the Supestar Vulc (pictured) gives a nod to ~~top-tier~~ pizza joints like Sbarro. Look for both models to hit commercial skate gear slinger Zumiez this month.Tasty.

adidas Polson ST

Joe — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:13:12 +0000

Although they've stayed away from dipping into the hybrid game, adidas combined a tennis and basketball silhouette for this Polson ST. The skate sneaker which will be available at Zumiez on March 15, mixes cues from original models like the Campus, Ultrastar and Forest Hills with a basketball tread pattern that makes the sole more skateboard-friendly. Simple, reasonable, and well thought out. We can't hate.
