Dogtown Skateboards is stoked to announce the release of Eric Dressen’s first ever Pro “Street” Model Skateboard from 1987 when Eric first turned professional for Dogtown Skateboards. We are so proud to be a part of his legacy that he continues to create to this day.

Meticulously crafted by PS Stix, this deck has the same shape and dimensions 10" x 30.45” as his original deck from 1987 featuring artwork by Michael Seiff. Michael Seiff’s artwork is characterized by intricate line work, bold colors, and a powerful sense of movement that perfectly captures the energy and excitement of skateboarding. This board has never been reissued and people have been requesting this reissue for years!

We are offering a limited number of signed decks by Eric available on a first come first served basis on Wednesday May 22nd, at 11am PST. There will also be a run of this classic graphic t-shirt. Both will be available on the dogtownskateboards.com website.

Please no coupon codes or discounts on this drop and a limit of 2 per customer.

Bold and comfortable, these limited edition Dogtown Black Denim Jeans are perfect for any terrain. Made with 98% cotton and 2% Lycra, these relaxed fit jeans offer style, mobility, and durability for all your activities. Crafted in Los Angeles from premium black 12.75 oz stretch denim.

Poly/cotton core spun thread is used in all high wear areas including the triple-needled flat-fell seams in the yoke and center back for a huge increase in strength and bail resistance. We use 6.5 ounce cotton pocketing to safeguard keys and coins and there's also a small stash pocket. Buttons and rivets are U.S. made to provide years of service.

These are a Limited Edition and essential for anyone who skates, works and lives in denim year round.

These will be available on Tuesday, March 26th at 11AM PST at www.dogtownskateboards.com

On September, 16, 2022, Shota Kubo was knighted into an elite club by the founding statesmen of skateboarding, forever cementing his life’s work into the distinction of merit we define as Dogtown. While Shota’s father, Shogo, was being honored with a tribute skateboard to celebrate his contributions to our culture, Shota was unknowingly about to hit a milestone very few achieve. 

Jim “Red Dog” Muir, founder and fearless leader of Dogtown Skateboards and maestro of surf skate culture, hosted what was to become one of the most significant nights in skateboarding history with the presentation of the Shogo Kubo tribute board at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne, CA. The artwork created to celebrate Shogo was emitted with heart and soul by the legendary artist, Axis, who honored this opportunity by bringing some of his best work to date, respecting the traditions on which Dogtown was built. 

Eric Dressen, who is undeniably one of the best skaters to rise from the gritty streets to a globally recognized force in skateboarding, took to the stage to the soundtrack of admiring applause by the incredible crowd on hand. Under the cloak of what was thought to be a tribute speech about Shogo Kubo, Eric began to speak as Shota unsuspectingly stood behind the stage listening. 

With one sentence, Eric changed Shota’s life forever with the ultimate surprise simply saying, “We are not only here to honor Shogo Kubo and the new board release and beer, we are here to celebrate his son, Shota Kubo – continuing the family legacy, the new Dogtown pro, Shota Kubo!”

As the crowd erupted with cheers of validation, Jim Muir held a skateboard over his head and Shota stood speechless and in total shock, as he was honored with the well-deserved status of pro skater for Dogtown Skateboards. As Red Dog stated, “I want to personally tell you how much I love Shota Kubo. He’s family and I am so proud to have the honor to give him this pro model skateboard.” 

What a fun night was had by all. Shota's new model is available for sale now as well as his Dad Shogo's 'Tribute' model and the Shogo Kubo tribute dry hopped pilsner beer can be purchased directly from Common Space brewery here.
