The new Nike SB Project BA has just landed at Fat Buddha Store and is a sneaker that’s immediately won over the core-skate crowd, and also those who have never went near a skateboard have gravitated towards the model. That comes as no surprise when you consider that Brian Anderson is a veteran skater who has no time for a silhouette oriented towards anything but the activity that earns him the big bucks. Elements aiding that goal include a thick Lunarlon padding for the insoles and a runner-inspired toe tailor made for Anderson’s flip-trick heavy style. You can check out more pics below. The Nike SB Project BA in Black/Grey which is the model shown above is available  in store now at Fat Buddha Store and online in the next few days.

The Huf Spring 2012 collection has been very strong this year with a real great selection of hats and tees.  But the real star from this collection has to be the Hex Diamond Volley 5 Panel . 5 panels are the hat of choice this Spring and this hat is no different. The design is pretty simple coming in a choice of three basic colourways Khaki, Black or my personal favourite Burgundy and featuring Huf logo detail sewn onto the front panel. What makes this hat stand out from the rest is the aztec style Diamond print that they have on the skip. This hat is by far one of the best we have seen and if you like it you better cop it quick because they are going fast! Check out the rest of the Huf collection here .

In store and available online now we some pieces from Carhartt's latest collaboration with New York City skateboard company 5Boro NYC .  The collection which features skate decks and wheels as well as apparel was created after last spring when members of the Carhartt team met up with the 5Boro crew. The collaboration which looks really good is said to have been inspired by a road trip the two crews took together from NYC to Detroit.  This inspiration can be seen from the photos used on the decks in the collection which were taken in both cities on the trip. Only a few items of the apparel side of the collection have been released so far but damn they look really good.  From what we have seen there is a real nice New York theme in there, the obvious influence from 5Boro. Watch this space for the collection dropping here soooon! Cammy
