bastard blog

Starting from Saturday, the 2nd, until Sunday, the 3rd December at Ostello Bello Milano Centrale, bastard on the verge of its thirtieth birthday, is awakening from hibernation due to popular demand. It’s getting back into its trademark OG Family Sale business—a traditional sale reserved for friends and those of you who follow us. We are offering samples, prototypes, last pieces, and other exclusive clothes and accessories for the Winter.

Those lazy Italians have delved deep into the warehouse and will be open for the whole weekend from 10:30 to 10:30pm.
Come join us if you are around!

This time we joined our friends of 5tate Of Mind in Bologna for a lean collection of clothes for the spring, to be abused in the city and maybe at night time too, considering the many reflective details designed.

We did the artworks and they put design, production and sales.

All the items in this limited 5OM x bastard collection are available in some shops on the street – the new 5OM Bolo Store grand opening in these days included – and online directly from the source.

Below the video of this collaboration and on 5tate Of Mind blog some shots at the main street spot in Bologna that saves your ass when the weather is rainy and times are tough.

On RepTv journalist Antonio Nasso walks through the origins of skateboarding in Italy with interviews with the main players.

We are happy to be part of the Vans Foot The Bill program, with a Slip-On created by our favourite skulldisegner RickyStyle and dedicated to the mind behind all this: Steve Van Doren.

Local ripper Indro Martinenghi gave us a new piece on the main bastard bowl’s wall, and his own version of the bastard lefty. ScreechBitch.

In collaboration with Muckefuck Skateboards & Urethane we developed a new 54 mm wheel made of urethane without coloring pigments. The artwork with the classic bastard skull features the palladian marble flooring of the bastard store in Milano.

Saturday 15 June 2019 we’ll meet at the Parco Lambro skatepark in Milano with the classic Lambrothers party and skate contest. It will start in the afternoon, with the Gaza Free Style Festival.

This year we will gather the funds to complete the skatepark in Gaza!

Sunday May 26 the bastard store is in the Open House Milano IV Edizione program, closing the Milano Arch Week. Open House Milano is a whole weekend dedicated to public and private buildings with a relevant footprint in architecture, supported by dedicated and volunteer guides.
