This spring/summer sees the launch of the new adidas® skate range, road tested in London by the capitals most prolific riders. Footwear goes old chool and apparel sees collaborations with one of skateboarding's Godfathers, The Gonz.

adidas® and VICE came together with skate photographer Sam Ashley and filmmaker Neil Chester to produce ‘The Stripe Out’, a documentation on camera and video of six of London’s most prolific riders riding London’s best skate spots.

The resulting exhibition took place at the Leonard Street Gallery in Shoreditch. Over 300 people came down to the opening night to peruse the artwork and film, and drink the free booze provided by Corona and Vladivar. We had an after party at The Old Blue Last where we had live music from Version 88 and The Checks, and DJ sets from Team Pegah Mix, People are Germs and Goodbye Mother.
