Years in the making, the Here Comes The Neighborhood project is getting airtime through a series of episodes documenting the progress of this monumentous undertaking. Sit back and watch Episode 1 and keep an eye out for the upcoming installments.

Aussie artist and all round good bloke, Meggs was recently given the opportunity to paint a couple of pieces for the guys at Endevour Snowboards in Vancouver.  You’ve gotta admit, the end results are pretty impressive.

The media coverage that skateboarding gets nowadays is a long way from the videos from when I was actively skating. Shaky, grainy coverage with homemade fisheye lenses has been replaced with slickly produced professional CGI filled epics like this latest Burn energy drink promo featuring legendary skater, Rune Glifberg.

Recently the boys from the 4000 celebrated their first full year of business of their store Up There in Melbourne with a party, unfortunately none of us could trip it out there but we just want to send our wishes to the boys and couldn’t be more proud to call such talented people friends.

- T, well done guys

The guys over at Streething have been doing some really great videos lately, and this one detailing a little bit of NB’s heritage in Japan is no exception. Revolving mainly around the MT850, it also touches on one of my most regretful non-purchases, the M1300JP. For the keen eyed you can see a pair of solebox’s 1500GGBs with the sole cracked!

- t, check out their Philippines feature as well, cool stuff!

This series by Palladium and Hypebeast hosted by Pharrell is pretty good. Following Japan’s street culture scene post-disaster (they refer to it as “3/11″) the producer-come-fashion mogul interviews some of Japan’s most influential people currently spearheading the underground movement to overthrow the old guard. My personal highlight has to be the huge drain system featured in Part 2.

- t, although apparently only part 1 is out I let the Palladium site play through and it showed the full series.

      

Texas based store and site Nice Kicks bring a really nice simple colourway with lush long hair suede to one of adidas’ most iconic silhouettes. Plus they have a really cool concept behind the “branding” of the shoe. Check the video for an explanation behind the whole thing.
