Yet more new Vans Chukka Low in store, with the Andrew Allen colourway arriving today. Black suede and Gum. Dead nice. We also got a restock on the Era pro in black suede that has been getting a lot of attention.

Talking of Vans, Spotted an interview with our boy Kris Vile on the new Crossfire website. some wise words and sick photographs. Take a look here.

A big thanks to everyone who came out for the Wizard Council premier on Saturday. There was a full house and the stoke was high. Plus, thanks to James, Jack, Kelly and Kris for getting up to the Works in Leeds to represent Ideal at the Vans shop riot...

Plus, for the first drop this week we got a load of much requested Motive wood, a fresh drop of Enjoi and a re-stock on the much rated unflatspottable Darkstar Speed Plus wheels...

Summer is a project that Ideal pals Dave and Mike have been working on for a little while now.

The first one is up now [here] and the next two are in the works. The plan is to do articles based around cities and their scenes so get in touch with them if you have any ideas or want to contribute. 

Take a look at the Summer website here.

Been waiting on the Deathwish Cruisers for what seems like ages as so few made it to the U.K. due to demand in the U.S..

And they were no disappointment either, the shape is mental but usable and the graphics just kill it....

Take a look here.

Plus we also got the new Sidewalk mag in stock today and there are more Decks from Motive arriving tomorrow..

New stock of Vans arrived in store late today. In amongst the packages were a familiar colour way in the Chukka Low. It's Kris Viles own model. Stoked!

Check over the new Vans drop here.

In the 19 years we have been supporting the skateboarders of Birmingham we have stocked a few random skate branded items like towels, slippers, beer helmets and the like.....Today it is the turn of the foot ball.... 

Thanks. A lot.

Ideal is always stoked on Andy Scott and we are double stoked to see him on new UK brand SuperDead. We will be getting SuperDead boards in store tomorrow and included in the package is the recently 'cease and desisted' Neptune graphic, future rarity.

Got the new series in from the A3F factory this afternoon. It's going to split opinions all over but you can't doubt the mischief behind it. Make friends with the Shirtlifter series at the store this weekend....

We just got a drop of the classic Nike SB Blazer in Black / Light Graphite in store. Been so many people asking after this colourway that I don't think we will have them for long.

Check availability here.
