Tony Hawk Does 100 BLUNTS In His Lakai Proto Shoe

When CCS texted Tony Hawk about doing 100 of a trick in his Lakai shoe, on VERT, he made sure to let them know that meant he had to hit almost 200 walls of his ramp in one session. Not skating vert, we didn’t really know what this meant. Apparently it’s like running a marathon just to hit 12 walls in one run, so it was a tall order. Thankfully, Tony is as pro as he was at 14 and banged them out for us with a smile! We couldn’t be more stoked to see the legend in one of CCS’s wear tests! See how his shoe held up and grab a pair at CCS.com today!

CREATURE X SK8MAFIA: Al Partanen Deck

Unbeknownst to most, Al was actually supposed to ride for the SK8MAFIA when it started back in 2005. Turns out, he and Navs already had plans of getting the band back together and resurrecting Creature. Respectably, both brands went on to do their thing and years later the bond between the brands/bros is stronger than ever. “Dude, these are my two favorite skate brands, I want to do something proper to celebrate our long-standing fiendship.” We got the artist/ripper Travis Law to create a demonically seductive graphic with the classic Mafia hands logo. Al developed this functional shape (after many revisions) for surfing the streets of Long Beach. We limited this offering to 666 pieces from NHS and Skate Mafia. This one is hotter than a vegan chicken wing. Get one while you can. – Creature
