If you don’t know Alvvino, he’s the typical nerd snuck between bullies, with the cashmere sweater tied over his shoulders and his moped parked in front of the emergency exit. He is respected by all, good and bad people. He’s fastidiously but authentic, gruff but dandy. Alvvino is beyond good and evil, like The Little Prince, but he has sexual appetite. I met him for the first time during my wandering in Berlin, heavy rain clouds covered the sky. Alvvino’s look was perfect with his umbrella matching his jacket color. However Alvvino has not only elegance and snobbery, he’s always working on design projects, he collaborates with the best European brands, he designs important editorial exhibitions, pubblications and breath-taking art-shows. – ZAMOC
We don’t need to add anything to the Zamoc speech, it well describes Alvvino. We only want to say that he’s the designer of the Glorious t-shirt.
Daniel Cuervo, Steve Caballero, Giorgio Zattoni, Eddie Elguera, Jocke Olsson e Joshua Rodriguez are the official Z-Team. JIMMY’Z wants to make it right!
GZatt is so inspired by the Combi lines… we got this from the pen drawing below that we found on some shipping documents in the warehouse!
It’s going to be fun this Saturday, May 11th at the Vans Pool Party in the Combi. If you are not in Orange you can follow the event on the live web streaming.
The historical brand Jimmy’z, founded in Malibu California by Jim Ganzer in 1984, has finally arrived here at bastard store and at a small number of selected dealers in Italy.
It all started with an idea particularly innovative system of short pants with a Velcro waist closure called EZ-IN, EZ-OUT – hence the ‘Z at the end of the name Jimmy – sold on the beaches of Malibu from the trunk of a Buick Woody.
Skaters, surfers, artists and musicians such as Steve Olson, Dave Hackett, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Eric Dressen, Natas Kaupas, Sergie Ventura, Dave Duncan, Scott Oster, Vince Klyn, J. Riddle, Jack Nicholson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ry Cooder and Phillip Dixon have contributed to the success of the brand and many of them continue to do so today. If you missed the 80s and the 90s or you were simply distracted, take a look at the online portfolio and read the interview with Jimmy on Opening Ceremony to understand what we’re talking about.
“I think the highest artistic expression is made up of ideas and states of mind, not only objects” – JIMMY GANZER
Here in Europe, Giorgio Zattoni and Jocke Olsson are officially in the Z-Team … Follow them next week at the Combi Bowl Vans Pool Party!

He may change his haircut, he may change his clothes but he can’t change his classic aggressive style as ever.

spizzate sto video… (roman slang for spread this video)
Nikolai Danov
… And we do it.
Romantic is a video project by Michael Quigley, filmed in the winter of 2004 between Rome, Milan and Barcelona. It features the haydays of Roman skateboarders in the mid 2000s, among which Nikolai Danov and Marcin Solecki. This edit, although incomplete, is dedicated to his memory. Thanks Mike and keep up the good job.
Marco “Bauli” Lambertucci, Luca Crestani, Guido Bendotti and Mike Pireddu, just came by to say what’s up.
If you are NOW in Milan push you skateboard to Central station where these guys will party and skate on the occasion of Nike Chomp Ollie Tour!
