Nike Restocks & Scrum Tilly Lush DVD



A big Nike SB restock has arrived in both stores, with full sizes runs of Blazer Elites, Purple suede Blazer Premiums, Black/White Dunk Highs, Twin Peaks Dunk Highs, Black/White Blazer Lows & Marina Dunk Mids available in Glasgow in Edinburgh. These shoes sold out pretty quickly over the festive period, so get them while you still can!

Along with those, we've got a bunch of copies of Phillip Evans new DVD 'The Scrum Tilly Lush', which features the likes of Wieger Van Wageningen, Soy Panday, Conhuir Lynn, Danny Wainwright & Nick Jensen skating their home towns. Definitely a break from the ramped slow mo & HD wankery of more blockbuster efforts, at £9.95 it's a bargain and a half, and perfect to help welcome the skateable weather March is sure to bring. We've still got plenty of copies of Alien Workshop's Mind Field in stock too, so fire down to either store if your DVD collection is sorely lacking some new skate action.

Found $x$W Fundraiser Album




Edinburgh based FOUND are an artist collective / experimental pop band and friends of us here at Focus. In March this year the band travel to Texas to the SxSW festival and we're stoked to be helping them raise funds to make this happen. We'll be producing a limited edition t-shirt which should be available in a couple of weeks and proceeds from the sales will go towards their trip. As well as this they have produced a download album which you can purchase by clicking the link at the bottom.

"Snarebrained is a download album featuring a collection of exclusive remixes and songs previously only available on limited edition vinyl. It features collaborations and remixes from Lisa Lindley Jones, De Rosa, Jonnie Common (Down The Tiny Steps) and Akira Kiteshi.

The album has been produced to help raise money to pay for the band to travel to SxSW and as such FOUND have devised an unconventional payment method. The album has five different prices so that the music buyerhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif can decide how much to give FOUND towards their campaign to conquering the US.

Payment is made through PayPal, but you don’t need to have an account, just a credit or debit card. Select the price you wish to pay from the menu below and click the ‘add to cart’ button, then follow the instructions. Once your payment has been accepted you will be sent a confirmation email from FOUND containing a download link and unique password. If you have any problems don’t hesitate to contact us on info@foundtheband.com

Many thanks for your support!"

Coolio, yo!




Focus is officially a gangsta's paradise as Coolio and his crew just dropped by to pick up some cheap sneaks in the ongoing Focus mega sale. If you're after some cheap Stecyk Blazers or Mosquito dunks like the man himself, then head on down sharpish. I'll see you when you get theeeere, if you ever get theeeeere!
