Just in time !

Just through the door in time for Xmas a whole load of VANS classic shoes.

Also now in stock are the rugged Rowley Squares; made with Ballistic Nylon: that's the stuff they use in bullet-proof vests meaning that they're extra hard-wearing so now a Vans shoe isn't just for Xmas, It should last till the New Year!

And finally there are the strictly limited editions issuing from the Vans Vault all of which are going fast and once they're gone that's it so get 'em while you can: What're you waiting for? Xmas!

Who's Who # 1:Damian

Finally a brief quiet moment amid the Xmas rush so I thought I'd take the chance to introduce one of the guys who keep things together here. Meet Damian, No, Not the son of Satan but rather the shop manager, seen here in his lair which he keeps filled with tempations to lure unsuspecting visitors into the perilous world of skateboarding.

When not tempting the faithful he's the brains behind my new redesigned website soon to be unleashed upon the net.

Consolidrunks Limited Edition

When Nike brought out Dunks in Consolidated colours without asking, Consolidated responded by releasing the 'Drunks', a strictly limited edition shoe available in sizes 6 to 12 priced at a very reasonable £60.00 .

They aren't due to arrive here at Kates Skates until the 11th December but you can pre-order them now at our website! We reckon they'll go fast so better get them while you can!

Xmas is coming!
