Focus Magazine-Charlotte NC City Profile

Charlotte, North Carolina Scene Coverage in Focus Magazine!

Be sure to check out the 2011 September/October issue of Focus East Coast Skateboarding Magazine for a city profile article we helped develop on Charlotte, N.C. The two page spread features a brief overview of the city, top rippers, hottest skate spots, best food and best nightlife. BIG THANKS to all the guys at Focus Mag for allowing us to be part of the issue and represent the local Charlotte scene!

We wish we’d had more room to shout out ALL the area rippers and homies that support. There are so many that deserve thanks and mention, but space was limited. Thanks to charlotteSKATE and all the skaters involved. Let’s continue to build and unify the local skate community. The scene here is what we make it. Build it…Skate it.

Nike SB Eric Koston Lunarlon Feature

Lunarlon Nike SB Eric Koston feature on the Nike Action Sports Vimeo channel.

“Lunar foam is a recent cushioning innovation in Nike performance footwear, but the Nike SB Eric Koston is the first shoe in the Nike Action family to incorporate the technology. Having a combo Lunarlon sockliner/midsole makes for a skate shoe that is lightweight with a soft yet responsive full-foot cushion, protecting your feet from impact but not dampening board feel.”

If you haven’t tried on a pair of the Nike SB Eric Koston 1 Signature Models, get down to the shop asap and do so. Great chiller or performance skate shoe. Stylish, lightweight with supreme cushioning for impact absorption and comfort. Several colorways to choose from now in stock.
