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.
