DEAR SKATING POWEREDGE MAG TEE BLACK

£29.99

Now £9.99

Dear Skating pays tribute to some iconic moments from skate videos so you can re-live the glory days with heritage throwbacks. They are putting out limited runs of T-Shirts like the "Israel" shirt Mark Gonzales wore in Blind's "Video Days" and SMA Rocco Division T-Shirts team riders wore in the early days of the brand that would be later known simply as World Industries. Dear Skating have utilised a special ageing wash process that makes the shirts feel like they are twenty years old, again part of the whole concept.
Chris Lipomi from Dear explained recently to The Skateboard Mag a little about the project he started. “The skateboarding I grew up in with was a subculture. A physical activity sure, and though my days weren’t filled with simply learning tricks and pushing from point A to A, they were full. They were filled with the adventure, experiences, music, friends, bums, and enjoyment that went along with being a skateboarder. A different way to see and move through the world, a secret that we shared, a perspective that was unique and our own. As skateboarding has continued to change and grow over the years I have continually found myself gravitating toward aspects and pockets of it that retained the charm and magic that initially drew me in.”
I can remember being stoked when Poweredge first came out in the late 80’s. It seemed like a little bit of Thrasher and a little bit of Transworld. More importantly, it was something different, and it seemed fresh and authentic and not just something cobbled together by outsiders jumping on a bandwagon. I remember meeting a couple of the Poweredge staff at a few of the higher profile skate events in the Midwest, and they were all friendly and without attitude. Needless to say, Poweredge folded in 1991. but like R.A.D. before it, Poweredge has shown up online. Right now it’s just some history and selected parts of the first issue. The interface is a bit wonky, but sometimes it’s better to forge ahead instead of waiting for another five years to pass while you make everything perfect. Believe me, I’ve been there.
