Don't buy from the big box/online retailers. C'mon people. Do the right thing, get in your car, drive down to the local skateshop, and get all your gear there. Who knows, you might see something cool you never knew existed, get to thumb through the newest Closer mag or our Photo Annual, or a rad foreign mag like Stand-By Project or North Mag.
Case in point, Nike SB is going hard on the promotion for its latest quickstrike Dunk with Bluetile Skateshop out of South Carolina. Peep the video, then you know what to do.

Irving Juarez breaks down his family's immigration from Mexico, finding skateboarding and a dope community based around a skateshop, and the design cues for this new SB Dunk. Beautiful.
You will make all of your best friends, and lifelong friends through skateboarding. And that may never happen if you don't walk through the doors of a skateshop.
