BLUE LOBSTER

A customer asked me about a sneaker called Blue Lobster. I told him the Lobsters came out last year. ANyway I decided to search it a bit and this is what I came up with. Thought I would share it with you. I got pinched by a couple of these bastards over 10 years ago in CAPE COD. I was coming in from surfing and a couple of these clamped on my toes. I jumped back on my board and paddled in to shore. One of them actually was still on my foot when i made it to shore. Im really glad lifeguards were there to fix me up. Not sure why I posted this but enjoy! Here is a blog about it. Blue Lobster Here is a video.

RASA LIBRE

Don't call it a comeback. Well ok call it a comeback. When we opened Covert 6 years there was a new board company on the scene called RASA LIBRE. Well guess what its back and we couldn't be happier. Look for the wood in the next few weeks. Here is a link to there blog to explain everything. RASA LIBRE ESPN did a little something as well. ESPN Article There is an article in VAPORS as well but I cant post it for some reason. I don't think the blogspot likes PDFs. Sorry Kevin this is as good as it gets.

Covert Magic Tees

We did a couple of tees in celebration of our boys making it to the finals. I forgot to take a picture of the MAgic logo bite. Here is the mock up. It looks really good. The second is a sarcastic Kobe dis. Both are available in the store now.

JUNE NIKE SB and JANOSKI RE -UP

Nike SB JUNE has hit the shelves. Here are the stand outs. The White on White SB Dunk which is Super clean and a nice change for you Air Force one heads.
The Supreme P-Rod is the best this year. Get ready for the three. The Purple Dunk Mid looks way better in person. I like the gold trim and stitching. Last but not least is the Red Blazer Premium. We also got a mini re-up on the Janoskis. See you soon.

Santa Monica Airlines

SMA or Santa Monica Airlines is the newest brand to be brought into the shop. SMA has been around for nearly 30 years. I remember rocking the classic bi plane tee way back. NATAS!!!!!! Here is a brief section taken from their site smaskateboards.com to fill you in on whats going down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our still humble beginnings are still humble after all this time which just proves you can stay true to your core belief system and not lose sight of who or what your are.

We have a few surprises for you this year, including an art show, limited edition 30th anniversary products and a store opening which we will let you know about in due time. Kevin Ancell has stepped up and done some of this 30th art (He did the OG Natas Panther), and we felt that we need to close the circle so we are really pretty happy to have his skills on board again.

SMA worked with Washington Street Skatepark the past two years to help out their free park program. This year to further help them in their fundraising endeavors, we will be making limited edition skateboard decks by the Fall ASR show/party with all the proceeds going directly to them. As this nears, we will let you know where and how to purchase these special decks.

Also if you are in Oz, please help out the Moss Jam people. They have a neat program that can use all the help it can get.

All of the good stuff that happened to SMA this past year happened because of you, our skate partners. Your feedback as to what products we need to make was vital to us. Along with our distributors, you helped us to be here for thirty years. For all of you we have met in person and through email, let me say from us here at SMA we say "THANKS!".

- Thanks for the ride

Here are a couple stand out peices from the newest line.

Freshjive

Here are some standouts from the new Fresh Jive line. My personal favorites are Chocolate Cities and Girls That Do, and for those of you who got the Ms. Pacmans we made it easy for you to find that perfect shirt.

May Adidas

I know a lot of you guys have been waiting for some new Adidas so show up and here they are. We got hit with the blue and flourescant orange campus vulcs and the purple gazelle. The gazelle is a great clean shoe and while the campus might seem a little shocking at first it is one to grow on you and looks great with dark blue and black denim.

Nike SB Dunk Low Quickstrike MS. PACMAN

Nike Dunk Sea Crystal

Well it looks like we forgot to post this months new Nikes. The Dunk Mid Sea Crystal seems to be the must have in the bunch.
Im thinking the Dunk low is a perfect everyday shoe. Blue and Black will match any pair of jeans and a tee.
Lets not forget the Stephan Janoski dropped as well....Super clean and resembles a dock-sider / boat shoe. Comes with leather laces. It will also make you shred like Stefan.

DANGO is DEAD?

DANGO is DEAD. New WESTSIDE video coming soon. Heres the trailer. Im pretty sure Dango is not Dead but he might be fucked up for a while. It reminds of another Dango incident where he passed out drunk under somebody's car at a party. Bad idea. The owner of the car left the party and ran him over. Ouch!

Get Fuct

Ok now some of you might not know about FUCT. Well you should. Fuct is the brainchild of artist/graffiti writer Erik Brunetti (aka DEN ONE). It was created in 1991 out of Brunetti's Venice bedroom. His subversive style has influenced many of todays current brands. Especially BAPE. NIGO stole the ape logo from Eric. Anyway. Fuct is one of the sickest brands around and is also one of the most exclusive we carry at COVERT. Sizes are always limited. Below are just a few of the tees available for the Spring 09 line up.
