Converse cements its rightful return to the world of skateboarding with the refocused Converse Skate Collection. The Spring 2010 season features two new styles in the lineup with the introduction of the Sea Star and CVO. Both silhouettes are taken straight from the Converse archives and updated with new skate functionality inside and out. The Converse Skate Collection offers uncompromised, well-crafted skate footwear to the masses and legitimizes Converse as a brand that has long belonged on a board.

say what!...a name change

i know it has only been a short while, but we here at robot dinosaur think it's time to rethink our name. now instead of an LA State of Mind, we think A State of Mind is a better fit for what we are doing here. we thought we were giving you a LA p.o.v., but we realized that it was not so narrow minded. we think that this is a better representation of us

SPIZIKE

Alter ego of director Spike Lee, many of you will remember Mars Blackmon from his Air Jordan commercials ‘back in the day’. In honour of the latest Jordan Spiz’ike hybrid, the Spiz’ike being inspired by Blackmon himself, Nike have created a mini site which presents the opportunity not only to learn more about the key elements that make up the hybrid, but also to Mars-isfy yourself: practice catchphrases (you know, you know, you know – it’s gotta be the shoes!) and upload your photo into one of the Mars templates via your computer or iphone. Get Spiz’iked!
