Consortium is an independently owned skate,
sneaker and streetwear store in Bournemouth which
owner, Nathaniel and his skilled and expert team,
have continued to evolve the shops style, reflecting
personal interests and tastes, always contemporary
whilst remaining loyal to their skate heritage. The
product knowledge and general care towards the
shops stock is second to none with this lot, and is
probably one of the main reasons that people keep
coming back to this place. You can ask these guys
anything about any item and they will give you the
whole low down from how the product originated to
the technology driven behind it. We checked in with
resident skater and shop assistant Barnaby, to see
whats new, and what his top items were this month.
As his top pick of the month, Barnaby picked out the
Nike Challenge Court SB’s. He elaborates that this
is the re-issue of John McEnroes, adapting the ’84
tennis original for riding the streets—or pretty much
anything. Made with tougher material to take on more
extreme activities, this shoe also includes a lunarlon
sole which is used in nike running shoes developed
with the help of NASA to create one pretty cool
sneaker. The Challenge Court SB’s are only available
in core skate shops like Consortium, so the next stop
to get these would be heading towards Portsmouth
or London.
The second item he picks out is the Rip N Dip 5 Panel
Cap in a multi color canvas and woven Rip N Dip
logo patch on the front panel, and a black and white
woven Rip N Dip logo tab.
