Vegetable Shredder – Ribeiro

RibeiroNAME: Ribeiro Neto

LOCATION: Recife-Brazil

OCCUPATION: Stamper of shirts

Where do you like skating? Skateparks, streets, everywhere!

Why did you go Veg?  Because i watched a brazilian documentary called “A carne é fraca” (meat is weak) and Earthilings, then i realized that all beings were equal.

What is your favorite thing to skate and why? Freedom, different of the collective sports, skateboard depends of only you. Skating with my friends.

What shoe are you skating in now? DC chase athletic

Or just say whatever you want about skating Veg…     Since i was a kid i was outraged with the social and political system in my country, i grew up as an anarchist, i always fought against capitalism in my life. In this journey, i met skateboarding in 2003 and veganism in 2006. After all, my way of life could not be other, i will never regret of it!

———————————————————————————————————— Up and over three boards the hard way! Thanks Ribeiro!

Fallen Kingston

Fallen Kingston Vegan Skateboard shoes Hemp synthetic-suedeFallen Kingston is Tommy Sandoval’s newest shoe. In his unashamed rasta style, the vegan colorway comes in a synthetic-suede and hemp canvas upper. Low top with lots of breathability this is a great shoe shredding the summer away. The solid piece toe cap has stitching moved way back for some great skate life.

Fallen Kingston Vegan Skateboard shoe The lace cage with metal eyelets is moved back up the shoe a bit, which keeps the laces clear of the ollie area. The heel has a sweet Fallen button detail that doubles as a built in shoe horn, when you can’t be bothered with tying and just want to mash your feet in and skate. Classic Fallen vulcanized soles last long with their del treads and have an amazing board feel!   If you liked the vegan Rambler, this is your next shoe!

Zappos 5-14 (no 10) $53.99

Fallen 5-14 $59.99  (only the pictured shoe is Vegan)

Etnies Willow RCT

Etnies Willow RCT Vegan Skateboard shoes Vegan RCT canvas skateboard shoeWillow RCT is Chistoph Wildgrube’s (better known as Willow) new shoe from Etnies. Its a special series of the RCT, part of the “Earn Your Stripe” contest for a year worth of skateboard shoes from Etines.  Willow’s preferred shoe material is canvas, so we’re getting a hell of a skate shoe in a vegan colorway! Featuring black waxed canvas upper with a solid toe cap, red synthetic-leather stripe and yellow detailing. The shoe even features all the colors of Willow’s home country, Germany.

Etnies Willow RCT Vegan Skateboard shoeThe RCT has a narrow fit, with a pointer toe great for flip tricks. Thin tongue and collar give the shoe a close fit. The new Etnies soles are triangles with deep pockets. If anything like the current Sole Technology set ups, they’ll be providing maximum grip with a longer wear time.

A fitting post as I head to skate eastern parts of Deutschland!   Want to get a year of free shoes with out starting a skateblog? Send in your sponsor me tape to Etnies Earn Your Stripe!

Etnies sizes 5-14 (no 5.5, 6.5) $59.99

Cuba Skate Documentary: Por los Ojos de un Patinador Cubano

Cuba Skate Documentary: Por los Ojos de un Patinador Cubano (Through the Eyes of a Cuban Skater) is a Kickstarter project that just started and is well on its way to its funding goal. The film isn’t the first to look at the isolated skateboard scene in Cuba. In 2007, “Cuban Skateboard Crisis,” interviewed skaters in Havana at their local park and even featured a skate contest. Even the best skaters on the island have some dismal looking boards. The lack of availability leads to repair often involves glueing and screwing two boards back together.

“Por los Ojos de un Patinador Cubano”, started filming in 2010 and gives us an updated look at whats been going on in the scene in the last six years. Exciting stuff and it really makes you think twice before you focus that next deck.

DC Bridge TX

DC Bridge TX vegan Skateboard ShoeThe DC Bridge TX has updated coloways and some classics for a total of 7 vegan skateboard shoe options and  all canvas upper. The deconstructed light weight look is a departure from the puffy cup soles. Instead we have a clean solid toe piece with minimal padding.

DC Vegan Skateboard Shoe Bridge TXThe vulcanized soles feature an inverted “pill-pattern.” This will give you some extra wear time compared to the usual pattern as it will take longer for the soles to wear flat. Looks waffely.

Still waiting for DC to make the Bridge with a SN (synthetic) instead of a TX (textile)? Lets hear it in the comments!

DC sizes 6-14 in 7 colorways $55.00

Zappos

Red/Aqua size 6-14 $55.00

Grey/Heather sizes 6-13 (no8) $55.00
