Category :Back by popular demand, a limited edition run of our classic “Skyline” Sheep deck and tee featuring an epic photo of the Queen City originally shot in 1998 on black and white infrared film by our art director extraordinaire RM. Decks feature heat press photo with gold metallic screen print accents. Available in all sizes. These boards look great on your wall or destroyed under your feet, so don’t sleep. They won’t last long. Stay classy Charlotte.


We just received a brand new shipment from one our personal favorite skate companies, Seattle-based Manik Skateboards. We carried some of their stuff when they first launched a few years back, and we’ve watched them grow and mature into one of the most creative and exciting small brands out there. These guys are always pushing the envelope with the controversial and cutting edge designs and a solid team of rippers.
Now in stock, the “Killers” Series of decks featuring some of the world’s most notorious serial killers; Manik “Legalize” tees with $100 dollar bill Chronic print, Manik “Hardball Series” of decks, and the limited edition Black Sheep x Manik Hardball tee shirts featuring Manik Hardball logo on front and Black Sheep ‘03 tonal print on back celebrating the year the shop was established.
Black Sheep is proud to support other independent skateboard companies, and we are stoked to have Manik Skateboards back in the store once again.

Mountain Dew skateboarder Paul Rodriguez and legendary skate artist Don Pendleton worked together to create their own signature can for Mountain Dew. Then inspired 35 skate shops across the country to design their own Dew can in a contest that just launched called the Mountain Dew Green Label Art Shop Series. Black Sheep was 1 of the 35 shops nationally selected to participate in this contest.
The 35 shops have been divided into 7 different regions. The shop with the most votes in each region will advance to the final round of 7 cans and make it one step closer to being made and distributed nationally. Black Sheep is listed in the Mid Atlantic region.
Please go to www.greenlabelart.com and vote for the Black Sheep entry. Help us get to the finals by voting for our can and you’ll also be entered in weekly drawings for tons of cool limited edition gear, prizes and trips.
Regional voting ends September 9 at 2:59pm and each registration is allowed 7 votes per day.
Let’s show these guys what’s up with Charlotte and put this thing on the map! We need you to vote daily — you get 7 votes per day. This is a marathon not a sprint and we need your help to make the finals. Show your love and get clickin!!!

The European Sneaker and Streetwear Blog EUKicks.com recently featured Black Sheep in an article entitled, The Southern USA’s Sneaker Scene: As Told By Its Biggest Players.
The article delves into the intricacies and unique flavor of the Southern Sneaker Scene and also features commentary from two prominent ATL spots, Wish as well as our homies over at Standard. It’s pretty wild to think that people across the big pond are interested in what’s going on in the Dirty South, so I guess that means we’re doing something right. Thanks to EUkicks for including us in the piece.
