The Cheaper Show # 10 Re-cap

This past June 25th, the 10th annual Cheaper Show took place once again in Vancouver. The Cheaper show has garnered world wide recognition, mostly due to the amazingly hard working people that make it happen each year, and the incredible artists that take part. If you don’t know, here is a little run down on the show: 200 Artists both local and International, 400 Pieces, $200 each = amazing. This past Cheaper Show, people were lining up at 3am when the show didn’t even open until 6pm that evening! Check out more info HERE, and watch the re-cap vid below. Let us know if you were there, and if you were lucky enough to pick up some art for yourself.

ETNIES ROLLS INTO ITS NEXT 25 YEARS

June 28, 2011 (PARIS) – Today etnies is celebrating its 25 year anniversary in the city where it all began by looking forward and conceptualizing what skateboarding could be like in the next 25 years. Pierre-André Senizergues, former pro skateboarder and owner of etnies, hand-picked three creative minds from the brand’s history – Gil Le Bon Delapointe, Mike Manzoori and Yogi Proctor – to create compelling concepts that demonstrate what living, moving and thinking could look like in the future. The artists’ pieces are on display at La Gaîté Lyrique Public Domaine – skateboard culture exhibition from today through August 7.

As the first skateboarder-owned footwear and apparel brand, etnies pioneered many firsts in skateboarding, like the industry’s first pro model shoe in 1987 – the Natas. While the skateboarding industry has become big business over the last two decades, etnies has remained independent and true to its original mission; a skateboarder’s brand supporting skateboarders and their needs.  Led by Pierre-André, etnies continues to give back to skateboarding and support its subcultures like the artistic outlets skateboarding influences with these new pieces on display at La Gaîté Lyrique Public Domaine. Check etnies.com for additional info and images today, and more on the etnies Next 25 celebration in the coming weeks. Also, don’t sleep on the upcoming PAS collection dropping this Saturday at Livestock West 4th in Vancouver, we are proud to be 1 of 6 retailers worldwide celebrating the release and the NEXT 25 for etnies.
