September Nike SB, Part 2

The second wave of Nike SB shoes for September has arrived. This time we have a great, SF Giants inspired Dunk Low (Black/Orange Blaze) and a hometown Bruin (University Blue/Neutral Grey). These are both pretty strong colorways, for sure. — EDIT: the picture below is an older, stock photo from Nike. The Dunk does in fact have a fat tongue, as will all Dunk Low’s from this point forward.

Volcom Give Jeans A Chance is Back!

Volcom is doing their Give Jeans A Chance promotion again this fall, and VU has been selected as a drop-off spot once again. In case you didn’t participate last year, here’s the gist: stop by the shop and drop off any pair of WEARABLE jeans, which will in turn be donated to the National Coalition for the Homeless. In turn you get a Volcom trucker cap, a Volcom pin, and/or bumper sticker. And the icing on the cake is one lucky winner will get a whole year’s worth supply of Volcom Brand Denim or a $1000 prize pack. Heck, there will even be 100 runner-ups for a Volcom Denim prize pack (local homie and fashion model Will Turner won one last year). It’s a win-win, and it’s such a great cause.

New Gravis Shoes in Today

Oh yeah, the Gravis hype is building. With Gravis’ occult style of shoe designing they are making a serious mark on our wall. The first style of shoe is the Carter that sits above a new flyweight crepe and a foam cushioned outsole. Really interesting style of shoe which is great for the fall weather coming up soon. The other new style is the Slymz which is a low top shoe with a high top style. This shoe also comes in a mid top. The Slymz Mid has appealing design lines through out it. Don’t forget about new colors in the Arto as well. Gravis is making a bang. Come by and see for yourself.
