When we started working with @manifestskateshop la

When we started working with @manifestskateshop last year on our ISSUE 03 collaboration, we didn't know we were entering a world rife with poetry. Skating is an art form of the body and mind, a unison that translates a thought into a physical action. Over the course of our collaboration, we discovered these shared poetics and documented them in the form of a zine and a short film.This video is a peek inside the pages of the zine, which contain portraits by Sass, live action photography by Zorah Olivia, an in-depth interview with Manifest, an essay, a story, a whole section dedicated to exploring inspiration, and a short film.As we have been working on our next zine, ISSUE 04 - WILD DURHAM with Fullsteam Brewery, we have been reflecting a lot on the relationship between people and place. Those themes exist in a specific way in ISSUE 03 with Manifest Skate Shop, as we explored how skaters interact with the physical world and the places they call home.Visit our online shop to pick up a copy of ISSUE 03 with Manifest. And be sure to check out the short film we made on our YouTube channel!ISSUE 04 - WILD DURHAM release on July 8th and is available for order now. Check out the link in our bio to get your copy!Video by Pete Salomone @whos_pete

We are so excited to announce ISSUE 04 - WILD DURH

We are so excited to announce ISSUE 04 - WILD DURHAM, a magazine & beer collaboration with our friends @fullsteambrewery For the last several months we have been working together to explore the idea of home and how to capture the flavor of a place. Together we foraged for ingredients from around the city and brewed them into a beer. Our magazine documents this process while also pondering the relationship between people and place, between cityscape and landscape.The Wild Durham magazine and shirt are available for preorder in our online store. Visit the link in our bio to order!Official release on July 8th at The Beat Market at Fullsteam Brewery. 730-11PM. Details forthcoming.Writing by Matia Guardabascio, Editor in Chief @enthusiastsaysPhotography by Dalvin-Earl Nichols @8bit.photogArt by Ted Cocuzza @eusweeshShirt printing by Laboosh @labooshskate#durhambeat #fullsteamdurham #wilddurham #forage #ipa #newrelease #beer #durhamnc #magazine #gonzojournalism #collaboration #home

When we set out to create our magazine, we envisioned a space of connectivity and intimacy. Traditional magazines contain dozens of stories, each one crafted by a writer, and delivered to a reader in a sea of content, printed and bound together as a collective offering. We wanted our magazine to be more focused and in-depth than what the traditional format would allow. So we created a space dedicated to one story, one vision, one topic that we could explore with the level of intimacy and connection we aspire to share in all of our work.Working with Evita Loca on ISSUE 02 was a profound exploration of intimacy. We chose to explore the idea of "being seen" by working with an artist who creates singular "looks" for people to wear. In the course of our collaboration, we were able to dive deep into the idea of what it means to be seen. This video offers a look inside ISSUE 02 with Evita Loca, the portraits by Sass, the layout of our pages, and a glimpse into the journey we went on in the course of this project.Visit our online store to grab a copy of this magazine.
