Unless you've been rolling around on Mars, you know the iconic Brooklyn Banks officially reopened this year and the sessions have been nonstop ever since.

Timed with Steve Nesser's legendary 'Back to the Banks' contest returning on Saturday, October 4, our friends at Spitfire are celebrating the news with a limited wheel release to mark the occasion. This one is big. Swipe through the post below and let's talk The Banks.

The drop features the Formula 4 99DU Conical Full in both 54mm and 56mm, stamped with some brick artwork that nods to the spirit of (what many might consider) New York skateboarding’s most iconic spot. As always, this drop isn't just about the gear—it’s about giving back and celebrating the culture. If those bricks could talk...

We've been doing a little Brooklyn Banks celebrating of our own recently with a new series, When the Brooklyn Banks Were Dangerous, and the latest episode is right there below. I have nothing to say besides just watch it. Every episode rips and it's just another reason to celebrate the iconic spot. The perfect blend of history and modern day stoke.

Be forewarned—the drop is limited, and it sounds like only a few select shops will be getting the wheels. But if you happen to be in New York on October 4th, roll through the Back to the Banks contest and celebrate with the city.

The Brooklyn Banks aren’t just a skate spot—they’re a landmark, a proving ground, and a cultural cornerstone that stems far beyond New York skateboarding. Shoutout to Spitfire for always pulling off drops like this. They care. Therefore, we care. Long live The Banks!
