This is some fly shit. Orisue and Terry Urban for The Press Play Show have hooked up a nice giftie for the summer with the “Songs to Skate To” mixtape. Featuring 27 bangers across pretty much every genre across the board, “Songs To Skate To” is music taken from some of the best skate parts in recent and vintage history including Nas “Made You Look” from P-Rod’s part in “Yeah Right”, Public Enemy “Harder Than You Think” from Koston’s part in “Fully Flared,” and Nina Simone “Feeling Good” from Shane Cross’ part in “Ruthless.” Download it for free right here and get yer skate on! Full tracklist including skate parts after the jump.
Quiksilver has a particularly strong collection for the upcoming 2009-2010 season, taking it mostly back to the essentials and keeping minimalist rockability in mind throughout the line. One standout is the Batfox jacket and pant. Coming in camo, black, and most surprising, an all-over US flag print (when was the last time somebody would even think about wearing something like that? Yeah Obama!) and ringing up at only $195 for the jacket and $150 for the pant (no flag pattern on these tough) the whole kit is steez for a really dope pricepoint. Check out some looks from Quik’s NYC showroom after the jump.
Mike Blabac dipped back to LA to release his book and shoe in LA on Friday.

Check out some pics after the jump. To get the book go here.

Huf just did a couple of decks with Real, who just happen to be the board sponsor for the brand’s namesake, Keith Hufnagel. Not surprisingly, they are dope with a graphic that looks to be a crowd shot from Woodstock (or could be just about any day up on Haight) and a lil bubble hollering out “Collabo!” on it. Why? Cause that what it is. Take a closer look after the jump. Available now at Huf locations. Via HighSnobiety.
The illest summer bag out there by a long shot, Burton’s Lil’ Buddy has two new colorways for Summer that have just landed at the Burton flagship stores in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles.
