Modern Convenience Inside Skates by Josh Rubin
At the ICFF a couple years back, Modern Convenience's Naugahyde-upholstered skateboards caught our eye for the way they make a familiar object into a sculptural toy. Now this fresh lemon-lime colorway is available exclusively at Coolestshop for $525 and for another $500 you can pick up the coordinating Formula Werks custom-painted New Balance 574s. More images of the board here.

Zoom Stefan Janoski SB: Designer James Arizumi Interview and Sketches
One of the most well-respected pro skaters in the biz, Stefan Janoski finally got his own long-overdue shoe with Nike SB.

Adrenaline nuts searching for the latest extreme sport have a new toy, the 360.

Invader Deck
We've covered the French 80's gamer artists-fetishist Invader a couple times here before. It started with his mosaics installed around all the major global cities. Then he did sneakers, with Space Invader characters in the sole. Then a book. Now his product expansion continues with a skateboard deck, available on Invader's site and at Mekanism....

Freestyle Magazine
I discovered the unusually frisbee-shaped Freestyle Magazine in my favorite bookshop, Athenaeum Boekhandel, on a recent trip to Amsterdam. Focused on fashion, design, art, architecture, lifestyle and frisbees, Berlin-based fashion photographer Jason McGlade created Freestyle for those who share his uninhibited spirit. In a world of rectangular publications, not only does Freestyle Magazine's circular shape set it apart, but so does its package design....
