Retail Spotlight: Hot Rod
The next time you’re in the city of silicone, make sure you check out Hot Rod, a skateboard and sneaker shop located on the Westside of L.A. The store is known for their large selection of Nike SB and has become a go-to spot when it comes to copping the latest skate sneakers. If you need some variety in your shoe game, they also carry adidas, Puma, Vans, and hard to come by French brands like Spring Court and Schmoove. Their selection of Nike Sportswear, Rogue Status, and Stussy apparel is top notch too.
Besides the footwear, the shop stocks decks off their in-house line called Cease & Desist Collection, which is best known for ripping graphics from industry heavyweights like World Industries and Powell and re-releasing decks in low-run quantities of 100. Pretty ballsy. Check out their gear and C&D skate decks below.
