Expedition-One x Matt Miller x Cologne & Grizzy Grip x Paul Rodriguez


The mall store was having a crazy $15 sale on everything in it. I grabbed this Expedition-One Matt Miller deck. Great company, great rider, picking it up was a no-brainer. It was also the only one not warped. I am definitely done with buying new boards.


As a bonus, I grabbed Paul Rodriguez signature grip by Grizzly.

Primitive x Sunnier in LA


Picked up a surprisingly cheap Primitive tee at So Hip It Hurts. A pretty old style, but I'm very happy about this find.

West 49 is having a pretty sweet shoe deal at their outlet location. These DC Complice S models were a steal. It's made up of a canvas/suede upper with a cupsole for a longer lasting shoe.

Gold x Price Point Wheels


Just picked up a new set of wheels by Gold. Their recent video Gold Goons really sold me on them and the cost as well. This particular design can be found along the same prices of blank wheels and you know they're backed by an amazing team.

Silver Trucks x M Class


Picked up a really sweet pair of Silver Trucks from an online seller. These are the M Class model and I can't wait to set these up and grind some curbs.

Brooklyn Dodgers x Sandy Koufax [1955-57]


Here's my latest pickup to the jersey collection, I was in between which player to get, but I'm extremely happy with this Brooklyn Dodgers Sandy Koufax. This is actually the first pitcher I own, and who better than The Left Arm of God?


I bought the jersey as a blank and had the numbers custom made and embroidered. The front consists of a royal blue felt logo. The back is very simple, but has that classic look with single layered tackle twill. This is the road version of the jersey worn by the team from 1955 to 1957 while playing in Brooklyn.


Born on 30 December 1935, Sanford Koufax grew up in the city of Brooklyn, NY. He attended the University of Cincinnati [later, Columbia University School of General Studies] and after trying out for several teams, he signed and committed to the Brooklyn Dodgers. In his rookie year with the club, he won his first World Series Championship and again in 1959 when the Dodgers relocated to Los Angeles, California.


Throughout the 1960s, Sandy Koufax would prove to be one of the best pitchers of the decade earning the 1963 NL MVP Award along with multiple World Series Championships/MVPs, Triple Crowns, and Cy Young Awards. He also pitched a perfect game on 9 September 1965 becoming the eighth player in league history to do so.


7× All-Star (1961–1962, 1963–1966)
4× World Series champion (1955, 1959, 1963, 1965)
NL MVP (1963)
3× Cy Young Award (1963, 1965, 1966)
2× World Series MVP (1963, 1965)
3× Triple Crown (1963, 1965, 1966)
Pitched four no-hitters
Los Angeles Dodgers #32 retired
National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee (1972)
Major League Baseball All-Century Team
Major League Baseball All-Time Team

"Pitching is the art of instilling fear." - Sandy Koufax

Nike x LunarGlide 6


I came across a major steal at the department store in these LunarGlide 6 running shoes by Nike. I was in great need of a new pair and these are perfect.


Great improvements in the outsole and heel. I can't wait to take these out for the spring and summer.


Remind Insoles


Picked up two pairs of Remind Insoles at the S&J Sales warehouse. The model above is drawn by Jim Phillips and is the Medic shape.



So far, the Chico Brenes pro model Cush shape insoles are working great in my skate shoes.
