Robin's Egg Blue used to be the steeziest color around. In the 70's just about every guy owned a nice suit that sported the color of the times. Well Gourmet is brining it back.

These kind of remind me of the Toms Shoes that I introduced to you a few weeks ago. With the popularity of flats for chicks this summer Rubber Duck has come out with the Julia Shoe. If you're looking for a ridiculously comfortable and relaxed looking shoe, look no further. From its hemp and rubber sole that reads "smile" the Julia Flat from rubber duck is going to be one of the most popular flats this summer and fall.

New Balance M576

New Balance is the only major shoe manufacturer that still makes all of their shoes in the good ol' US of A. While this may not mean much quality wise in the end product, it does say a lot about the quality of the company and the people who run. Who would you rather support, the company slaving little Malaysian children away, or the company going the extra mile to make sure their products are made with respect and love? I'd much rather support the latter. Which is why everyone should go buy these new limited edition New Balance M576's, available now for $99.

Air Zoom Cush by Nike 6.0

It's crazy how quick Nike has came to the head of the skate footwear market. They are putting out more shoes of higher quality than nearly any other company out there. The only thing you can hate on is that they support child labor and paying people 4 cents an hour. This new release by Nike 6.0 is the Air Zoom Cush and is available now for $74.99.

Air Mogan Wake Skate Shoe by Nike 6.0

If you're trying to bring your skate game behind a boat and a failing, one of the reasons could be you're shoes just aren't good enough. Its hard to skate in a soggy shoe, and it's damn near impossible to skate in water shoes. Thankfully the Air Mogan Wake Skate Shoe from Nike 6.0 makes gripping your board a piece of cake. One of the reasons the shoe performs well is the option of an internal lacing system, which will hug your foot regardless of how wet it is.

Stash Sandal by Reef

Have you ever carried around a bag all day when all you needed was your credit card and a key to get back into the house?

Reef saw this, and has now brought the ladies around the world the Stash Sandal, complete with a secured storage compartment big enough to fit some cash money, your keys, cards maybe a necklace or something. Available now for $46.

Nike SB Zoom Tre

I may hate on large companies from time to time but there is one thing they can do that small companies cant, and that is dump tons of money into product research. The Nike SB Zoom Tre is the brainchild of the Nike product research staff. To put it simply, this is the longest lasting, best gripping skate shoe on the market. The only way you'll stick to your board better is if you use bindings. Pick up a pair of the Zoom Tre's now for $89.95

Fortunately CCS has a full stock of damn near every style they offer, including the new gold models.

New Nike SB Mid Dunks

	My personal favorite of the whole bunch right here. The gold Velcro makes this kick wearable with pretty much anything. Nike SB Dunks Mid Blue White
	These have been out for exactly a year, and have been the only original model to still be in the current run. Alot of people know these as the Red and Orange Nike SB Dunks. Nike SB Dunks Mid Red Grey
	To me, these look a lot like the Air Mogan Lumberjack Edition, without the lumberjack stuff on it of course. Nike SB Dunks Mid Tan Gold
	Second favorite mid model, released at the same time as the Blue and White models at the top of this post. Nike SB Dunks Mid White Silver
	The color on these makes it so you could wear these as a formal shoe if you put some different laces on them. Prep school kids check em. Nike SB Dunks Mid Brown Red
	Not my style, but I know some kids are throwing down with the black vibe, so If that's you- here they are. Nike SB Dunks Mid Black Grey

 

New Nike SB Dunks Low

	Prefontaine meets Paul Rodriguez. Not many people know this color theme was because of the original Oregon Prefontaine shoes. Nike SB Dunks Low Green Yellow
	My personal favorite of the lows. My bud Sam made some custom dunks that look remarkably similar to these, but slightly more American. Nike SB Dunks Low Blue Black
	Another skateboard kick that could easily be worn as a dress shoe. Prep school kids with manly ankles that don't need mid's. Check em. Nike SB Dunks Low Brown Pink
	These will be a hard one to match with the rest of your outfit. But if you either don't care, or want to be different, these are the rarest of the production lows. Nike SB Dunks Low Grey Black
	In color theory gold is the only color that ever culture in the world gets a positive vibe from. Even those crazy Afghanis. Nike SB Dunks Low Gold
	Black, white and brown is about as classic of a color scheme as you can get. Nike SB Dunks Low Black Brown

I'm going to do my best to keep this list as up to date as possible with new releases and such. If there's an upcoming or new release that is being mass produced please, let me know about it.

Also, If anyone from Nike SB reads this and feels like sending me some shoes. By all means, just do it.
