Habitat's Treat For The Feet

By: Tom Morin

Habitat Shoes
Workshop spawn, Habitat, has announced they'll be getting into the footwear game, and will have a whole new team to rock their kicks. After a decade as a deck manufacturer, the DNA boys (DNA Distribution) have decided to give the Habitat brand a new objective, which rhymes with meat, and is pretty neat, and that objective is feet.

To coincide with this announcement Habitat has also let it be known they'll have a whole new team of steez' to inhabit these treats of the feet. The lineup will go as follows: Guru Khalsa, Marius Syvanen, Austyn Gillette, and, Alex Davis. This comes as no surprise because their main team, as in their deck riders, are under contract by some footwear heavy-weights. Some company up in Oregon that goes by Nike sponsors Habitat deck riders: Steffan Jankowski, Danny Garcia and Tim O'Conner, and then there's last year's S.O.T.Y. and Habitat deck rider, Silas Baxter-Neal, who rides for Adidas.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say these shoes are going to have a Gravis feel to them. That's becasue Burton owns Gravis and DNA Distribution, which distributes Habitat. Not to say that's a bad thing, Arto left a pair of Gravis' at my friend's house, which I rocked for a quick minute, and ladies couldn't enough of MORINformed. Anyway, long story short Habitat's making shoes now, and here they are:



These are called the Quest.



These are called the Lark.



These are called the Ibex.


And these are called the Basin.

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."
