After winning the National Championship in 1996, Jon Julio has lived a life dedicated to the art of inline skating. Founded by legendary inline skater Jon Julio, THEM SKATES is as core as it gets. We are ecstatic to announce the release of our latest collaboration with independently owned and operated THEM SKATES. Heck, we even made a Chuckie inspired hoodie for good measure. We’re talking fuzzy sweaters, long sleeve three-quarter zips, reverse fleece sweatpants, corduroy buckets, and (of course) a wide variety of graphic tees from the minds of our team. Drop 4 includes all the things you’ve come to love about Fall. With the Drop 4 campaign being shot on mannequins, Kooiker’s ability to bring life to our incredibly stiff models was a chef’s kiss in the creation of this line. With Kooiker’s photographic process being highly regarded for relishing in imperfections, he has become well renowned for his post production work, oftentimes manipulating photos to get them juuuust right. Titled ‘Drop 4’, our pre-Fall release was shot by legendary Dutch photographer and visual artist Paul Kooiker. While we’re sad to watch Summer go, the blow is cushioned by the release of our latest collection. LinkĪh Fall… the time of year where the nights get cooler, the leaves more colorful and all your favorite layers come out to play. Mdou Moctar is not only the frontman of his own band, but the star of the first ever Tuareg language fiction film, Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai (Rain the Color Blue with a Little Red In It), an homage to Prince’s Purple Rain. Afrique Victim reimagines Saharan music by melding Eddie Van Halen pyrotechnics, full-blast noise and guitar shredding, field recordings, drums rhythms, poetic meditations on love, religion, women's rights, inequality and Western Africa’s exploitation at the hands of colonial powers. Forming a band that bears his namesake, Mdou Moctar now consists of Mdou as well as rhythm guitarist Ahmoudou Madassane, drummer Souleymane Ibrahim, and producer Mikey Coltun. After building his own guitar, Mdou Mocatar mastered his unique style. Raised in the remote Niger village of Agadez, Mdou Moctar drew early inspiration from Eddie Van Halen’s 6-string approach. To celebrate we’re hosting a screening of the Nigerien film, Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai starring Mdou Mocatar himself followed by a special DJ set from the band at our back patio café, Slammers. We’ve designed an exclusive t-shirt inspired by their 2019 album Afrique Victim. We are delighted to announce our collaboration with beloved Tuareg musician and band Mdou Moctar.

#THE LONG DARK MERCH FREE#
Directed by Theo Triantafyllidis, Rankin describes the track as a “slowly morphing piece that tries to evoke feelings of anxiously waiting or yearning.” The video is set in an abandoned facility and contains an unattended exhibition of free 3D assets adding yet another layer to Giant Claw’s highly concentrated approach. Our collaborative t-shirt celebrates Giant Claw’s latest music video off the EP for the track Until Mirror. His latest EP, titled Mirror Guide, was released in May of 2021 and has been received with open arms by fans and newcomers alike as they delve into its labyrinth of harmonic arrangements.
