Check out the DVS Shoes Original Intent range that will be dropping into us within the next couple of days! This range is on a higher tier to that of DVS' standard skate shoes, combining higher grade materials for increased quality and durability, as well as limited edition colourways and designs. Through this selective use of materials and design, with the aid of feedback from DVS's skate team, the line is built around catering to the specific needs of skaters.

"Individuality is skateboarding, skateboarders are trend setters and taste makers, whether or not our trends parallel pop culture is irrelevant. This season for Original Intent, we did what comes naturally for skateboarders, we mixed the past with the future."

The range is due into us within the next couple of days. In the meantime, you can head over to our DVS Shoes page and register your email with the relevant shoe and size that you are interested in and recieve an email notification the instant the product is added live to our site! Never again will you miss out!

Another of our large brands drops stock a little early, but nevertheless Carhartt delivers a strong, clean, fresh range of new products.

With the end of summer nearing, (even though you wouldn't have though it had started!) our brands will be looking to deliver us their winter goodies ahead of the steadily approching winter seasons. Naturally, the clothing is geared towards colder weather, so jackets, hoodies, long sleeve shirts and jeans will soon be on their way.

Carhartt's drop includes their classic zip-up hoodies, the Distortion Hooded Jacket and the Ironworks Zip Hooded jacket, all of which are warm hoodies, prefect for brisk winter days or those chilly summer evenings! Talking of warm hoodies, they don't get much warmer than this, the Carhartt Car-lux Hooded Thermo Jacket. This classic and original Carhartt hooded sweat jacket combines a 50/50, Polyester/Cotton mix and with its super tight knit, this item is nearly totally windproof!

Rounding up the delivery are Black & Red colourways of the classic Script Tee and the new Registrated T-Shirt. Re-stocks of the Western Pants in Black and Rancho Blue are also now stocked back up in all sizes.
