Made by Leprechaun's - The NikeSB dunk EIRE.

The name leprechaun apparently derived from the Irish "leath bhrogan" (shoemaker). These apparently aged, diminutive men are frequently to be found in an intoxicated state, caused by home-brewed poteen. However they never become so drunk that the hand which holds the hammer becomes unsteady and their shoemaker's work affected.

Well it appears they've been darn busy 'cos hot off the truck this morning arrived the NikeSB lo pro dunk in its Irish colourway. Featuring EIRE embroidered on the rear of each heel - beautifully crafted in a colourway that takes influence from the irish flag..

I'm not even going to go into, how apparently they've been released to celebrate the 1916 Irish uprising or any of that, suffice to say that the colourway rocks, the Guiness / Irish harp is rendered beautifully and there'll be alot of happy oirish rocking these babies.

Hurry.. Hurry!!!

NEW IN TODAY!!!!! we finally have the NikeSB zoom tre for all you lucky peoples!!

Nike's new Zoom Tre shoe is f in amazing! This shoe perfectly blends the functionality and flexability of a basic shoe with the durability and performance of the most technical skate shoes available. This shoe skates flawlessly right out of the box and the grip is awesome. Nike has put all types of new technology into these kicks; the overall shoe is very lightweight, designed on a completely new loom , a squarer outside to the sole gives more contiunal board contact when you olly or flip. The bobbled mesh across the toe area gives more grip than leather and is as durable as a darn durable thing.

The sole has a few new features on it; one is the new padding that they've used. Large panel in the heel and smaller but super important bubble on the ball, covered with kevlar to prevent any chance of puncture.

Those of you who like to jump down stairs, gaps, etc. know that heel protection is crucial. The shoe is totally flexible is even with all of the new features. This shoe is good for all types of skating and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a sick new pair of shoes. Nike SB are one step ahead of the pack with these feature packed technical skateshoes.

call us on 01273 240500 now! or mail to www.thedopeshop.co.uk/nikeSB_zoom_tre.aspx and get out there.

GMSC Skateboard and lifestyle emporium. Brighton.

The best little skate store this side of? Well just about everywhere, GMSC - Brighton’s only sk8r owned and run sk8 store is tucked away, a short skate from the Level skate park at the bottom of New England Road, Preston Circus (near the Duke of York cinema).
Having chosen to locate on the “edge of the world”, the ethos behind the store is to support the local skate scene whilst at the same time stocking highly sought after underground brands for those in the know.

Here at the GMSC store we pride ourselves on stocking an extensive range of mainly UK and European skate brand’s & hardware, plus a number of other super hard to find brands – including the ultra collectable and highly sought after NikeSB & Adidas Coast ranges (we GMSC have Brighton’s exclusivity on these),

Vibe:
“We care because you do” – underground store Tokyo / NY style – think last stop on the metro.

Staff:
Sk8r owned and run - (Managed by Pro skater Stevie Thompson) - all are able to give knowledgeable advice and are down with the local scene.

Main brands stocked:
Blueprint / Unabomber / Pig City / FSU / STP / NikeSB / dope© clothing / Atticus / Boutique Sportif + Hand painted custom graffiti trains and ephemera.
A must have buy are the Ltd edition GMSC Brighton tops.

Decor:
Clean but approachable - mix of old and new, 1930s counter and till, a full wall of boards, lit up clean white rails & an evolving in store “art wall” graffiti project.

Clientele:
Ranging all the way from Sneaker-freakers to Jazzy hip hoppers to sk8 grommets begging stickers and freebies, a total cross over mix that seems to exist happily alongside each other.

Location:
At the edge of the world - Away from the madding crowds but a short sk8 from the level, Difficult to find but eminently rewarding! Tell your friends once and your enemies twice!

Future?
Expansion of online store (http://www.thedopeshop.co.uk/) & the web ring of like minded individual stores around the globe, stocking the latest hot shit in an attempt to hold off the attempted chain store domination of our sports & lives.Ones to watch - excited about?
Supa-fresh new spring stocks – dopedenim©, the new NikeSB Zoom Tre & the eagerly awaited dope© V Quantic collaboration.

Events to look out for:
Monthly games of GMSC -a knockout version of skate - at the level to raise money towards the redevelopment of Brighton’s sorely neglected sk8park - get down & register in store,

Plus upcoming appearances by some of Europe’s top skate teams – see press or log onto www.gmscstore.com for details.
