WELCOME TO MIA DVD...

After decades of being slept on by the outside world, the Miami skate scene is finally allowed it’s moment to shine in MIA Skateshop’s first video “Welcome to MIA”. 8 years deep into supporting the Miami skate scene, MIA Skateshop spent 2 years of work and energy into creating a project that would do the scene justice. Owners Ed Selego and Chris Williams paired up with Josh Stewart to put together a video that would bring the amazing experience of skating in Miami to the rest of the skateboarding world. What resulted is a video featuring the skateboarding of Brian DeLatorre, Joel Meinholz, Ed Selego, Forrest Kirby, Ben Gore, Luis Perez, Paul DeOliveira, Danny Fuenzalida and countless others in what is definitely one of the most eclectic shop teams out. There are few skate scenes and cities with as much culture and flavor as the city of Miami. And MIA’s new video brings all of it to the screen with top-notch skateboarding, spots, and production as an added bonus, Welcome to Miami.
Welcome to MIA.

FREE PARKING THIS WEEKEND..

Christmas is closing in and while it looks like the snow is set to return it appears that we lucky folk in Yorkshire have been given a few days reprieve, although the accuracy of weather forecasting is definitely questionable this looks pretty hopeful - BBC weather, and to add to that the powers that be have deemed this Saturday a free parking day - BBC news. So instead of stressing over whether the weather will allow your mailordered surprises for your nearest and dearest to arrive in time take a little trip in to our beautiful city and pay us a visit. Say hello to the real nice guys who work in the store and we will fix you up with whatever you need, right there on the spot.

THE BEST LAID SCHEMES O' MICE AND MEN.

Above are pictured our new line of t-shirts, featuring some graphics by friends of ours Oliver Shaw and Kate Prior.

The more keen eyed and witted of you may have noticed a common theme with these and with our new line of decks which are pictured somewhere further down in the recesses of our blog, that theme being 'Space'. UFOs, the moon, aliens, space travel and the like. We had a plan this time for our Welcome branded product to unify them under a common theme and make some noise when the full collection dropped but somehow things got in the way, graphics were late, production was delayed and instead of everything arriving in a single delivery the boards and tees came through weeks apart, with other items still to come. In the next few weeks we will have a zine that pools all the graphics and makes sense of the theme and some nice starry pocket tees, these things are imminent but there's no way we're going to put a date on delivery given the trouble we've already had. So instead of the glorious fanfare for the arrival of the new products we anticipated we have this sedate lesson in getting things done, no matter how well you plan things they will always take longer than you think and there's no way you can account for the winter weather or production lead times in China.

Next time around we have something even grander planned but we're confident everything will go swimmingly, fingers crossed.

Anyway, the snow is clearing and its almost Christmas and the high street is suffering so please go out and spend whatever you can afford in independent stores and not online, as otherwise in a few years there will be no independent stores left and that would be a real shame. We don't want a homogenised high street with every city looking the same, that would be a very uninteresting world.

BEANIE DROP...

Just got a big drop of beanies in the shop. Come down and grab one to beat this cold weather.

WHAT TO WEAR THIS CHRISTMAS ?....

With Christmas just around the corner, we thought we would put together a couple of outfits you could be wearing during this festive season.
Come in store for our whole collection of winter wears on offer...
