Played some games of SKATE in skate shoes

I hope I didn't forget anybody.When I entered my room, some more information was waiting for me plus a ticket to the party, a map and some recommondations where to go while in Amsterdam.Since I still had 2 hours until the first official date of the scedule, I walked around for a bit and tried to see as much of Amsterdam as I could in such short time.Right in front of the hotel was a square with perfect flatground and ledges, just a coincidence.If chosen on purpose or not, the Spanish team riders took advantage of it and played some games of SKATE in Skate Shoes right in front of the hotel bar which was the meet up place. When everybody arrived, we entered a bus and we went to the skatepark.When we arrived, this hangar-like blue illuminated door was waiting for us. After it slowly opened under the cheering of the crowd, the whole bus entered the building and everybody left the bus and was going through a tunnel that looked like the place the ads for Omars new shoe where shot.

Last Thursday I was invited to the launch event of the Omar Salazar pro model by Nike SB in Amsterdam. The invitation came kind of out of the blue, I got a call a week before from Pascal Schmidt who takes care of Nike SB in Germany if I wanted to come and of course I couldn't refuse that offer! The following pictures should illustrate a bit what went down during that day.This was the hotel in Amsterdam everybody was staying at. The invited people where retailers, team riders and press from all over Europe, plus a US delegation that consisted of Hunter Muraira, Daryl Angel, Justin Brock, Cory Kennedy and of course Omar .

In the space station or whatever you want to call the room at the end of the tunnel, Omar Salazar and James Arizumi, the designer of Nike SB where waiting for us. Once everybody got a seat, they started a very interesting presentation about the technology the shoe features and the whole process of developing Omars pro model, from the first drawings and sketch book pages Omar did until the final product.Afterwards everybody entered the skate. park that also fitted the whole outer space theme.
