_EASTERN MANNER SOUTHWEST SERIES COVER_

Introducing: Eastern Manner ‘Southwest’ Series

 

Hailing from New York City, new brand Eastern Manner have released their inaugural collection of skate decks with their ‘Southwest’ series.

Eastern Manner look to bring their own unique approach to the skateboarding industry, drawing inspiration from their alluring surroundings and translating that into simplistic, quality hardware pieces. Focusing on exotic and local woods in the construction of each board, the aim is to combine carefully selected materials and visually pleasing aesthetics in their design, with all decks made in the USA. 

The ‘Southwest’ series takes cues from Native American culture and the scenic landscapes of the southwestern regions. They have sourced native woods from the area such as Ash Burl, Western Maple and American Plane to use in the construction of each of the boards, all of which have been finished with an Arizona sourced turquoise and clay mix for their signature logo branding. All the decks have been designed and crafted by Eastern Manner, all handmade in the USA and are available in limited quantities.

With each deck sold 2% of the sale will be donated to the ‘1% For The Planet Organisation’ that helps benefit and preserve our forests and oceans, so not only are you buying from a brand that cares about their craft, but also giving to a good cause. Currently, Eastern Manner is only available via their website, but hopefully we will see them make their way over to this side of the pond in the near future. Head over to www.easternmanner.com for more.

 

Isle Skateboards Push/Pull 2

ISLE Skateboards Spring 2015 Deck Graphic Series

 

UK based Isle Skateboards return with six brand new deck graphics spread over 2 series for their first release of the season.

Having gained a lot of recognition for their unique, creative approach to their board designs, Isle continue their fine run of form with the Push/Pull Series 2 and the Paint & Pigment Series. The Push/Pull Series 2 sees new iterations of the brands first ever deck series reversing the white back ground to black and adding new ‘opposing’ imagery. The Paint & Pigment series looks a bit like a fine art piece with experimental paint powder, subtle imagery and cards with each riders initials. Both series feature decks for all 3 of the brands pro riders – brand owners Nick Jensen and Paul Shier, as well as Sylvian Tognelli. Each deck is constructed from generator wood which is made in the USA.

This year is certainly looking to be an exciting one for Isle, with some strong clothing pieces on the way that compliments the deck series, as well as several strong collaborative projects throughout the year. We can also be expecting the brands first full length video “Vase” which will be arriving shortly.

ISLE Spring 2015 line will be arriving this May. Be sure to keep an eye on isleskateboards.com for updates and to purchase from their current range.

Isle Skateboards – Curiosities Series

 

UK skateboarding brand Isle return with a unique graphic series with a personal touch from some of their pro riders.

Their clean board designs have caught our eye in recent seasons and they continue this minimal approach in their latest release. The idea behind the graphic is simple but the preparation requires a lot of work and attention to detail. Constructing custom shelves that would work to the same dimensions of a regular board shape, they would then be filled up with items individual to each rider and photographed ready to go straight onto the deck. Featuring objects personal to Paul Shier, Nick Jensen and Sylvian Tognelli, from Coke Cans to books on Morrissey, the decks also have a set of cards within the graphic bearing each riders initials to help you distinguish between the trio.

The Isle Curiosities Series will be available shortly at isleskateboards.com
