🇬🇧 MEETING WEDNESDAY MARCH 20, 18:30H PLAÇA DELS ÀNGELS
Announcement from nomacba.noblogs.org :
Stop the plundering of 1000m² of public space. We call on everyone who is against this expansion to mobilize.
Let them listen to us !
A new chapter in the confrontation between MACBA and the Raval since the museum was born. It has had opportunities to try to get closer to the neighborhood and its people, to understand its debt, but it has not been like that, on the contrary. Always arrogance and abuse, confusing priority needs with theirs as an institution.
Nor has understood that the communities that make up the neighborhood, diverse and unrepresentable, have in common to suffer contempt, inequality and abuse of power. We are used to it, they are part of our history and we know how to confront them. It is still not understood how after so many years of reforms, repression, order, budgets, subsidies and humiliations, the rebellion that appears when institutions and powers believe that they can impose their plans and that we will accept them easily continues.
Taking away another thousand square meters of unbuilt space from the Raval, spending 17 million of public money contributed by different administrations when priorities are different and passing it off as a common good is belittling us. To take a photo with some sectors of the Raval, presenting them as the entire neighborhood, to understand that the complaints of some neighbors are the complaints of everyone to close the Flea Market, tighten civic regulations, evict families and expel them from the neighborhood. Having the nerve of appropriating the long and difficult fight for the Raval CAP Nord, when it was achieved thanks to the unity and effort of the different Raval communities that fought and won so that there was a new CAP and five years later works have not yet begun.
We know what it means for us to reach an agreement, to satisfy the needs of communities that are so different and so stretched, but we know how to listen, we know how to have patience and the courage to understand each other. Power can’t never help itself from crossing the line and that brings us together, forces us to talk to each other and fight together.
Our lives, our health is at stake here, we fight for subsistence conditions, for dignity against contempt and stigma. We have memory and wisdom to defend life, that of the Raval, that of our communities and that of the planet. If Power and administrations don’t know how to do it, we will do it.
We defend what is ours. We defend what belongs to everyone.
No to the MACBA expansion.
🇪🇸 CONCENTRACIО́N MIÉRCOLES 20 DE MARZO,18:30H PLAÇA DELS ÀNGELS
Anuncio de nomacba.noblogs.org :
Detengamos el expolio de 1000m² de espacio público. Hacemos un llamamiento a todo el mundo que está en contra de esta ampliación, a movilizarse.
Que nos escuchen!
Un nuevo capítulo de la confrontación entre el MACBA y el Raval desde que nació el museo. Oportunidades ha tenido para intentar acercarse al barrio y su gente, para entender su deuda, pero no ha sido así, al contrario. Siempre la arrogancia y el abuso, confundiendo las necesidades prioritarias con las propias como institución.
Tampoco ha entendido que las comunidades que formamos el barrio, diversas e irrepresentables, tenemos en común sufrir el desprecio, la desigualdad y el abuso de poder. Estamos acostumbradas, forman parte de nuestra historia y sabemos confrontarlos. Aún no se entiende como después de tantos años de reformas, represión, orden, presupuestos, subvenciones y humillaciones, sigue la rebeldía que asoma cuando las instituciones y los poderes creen que pueden imponer sus planes y que los aceptaremos con facilidad.
Arrebatar al Raval otros mil metros cuadrados de espacio no construido, gastarse 17 millones de dinero público aportados por diferentes administraciones cuando las prioridades son otras y hacerlo pasar como un bien común es menospreciarnos. Hacerse la foto con unos sectores del Raval, presentándolos como todo el barrio, entender que las quejas de varios vecinos son las quejas de todos para cerrar el Flea Market, endurecer la normativa cívica, desahuciar a familias y expulsarlas del barrio. Tener la barra de apropiarse la larga y difícil lucha por el CAP Raval Nord, cuando fue conseguida gracias a la unión y el esfuerzo de las diferentes comunidades del Raval que lucharon y vencieron para que hubiera un nuevo CAP y cinco años después todavía no comienzan las obras.
Sabemos lo que nos supone ponernos de acuerdo, de satisfacer las necesidades de comunidades tan distintas y tanto al límite, pero sabemos escuchar, sabemos tener paciencia y coraje para entendernos. Al poder siempre le pierde pasarse de la raya y consigue ponermos en común y nos obliga a hablarnos y a luchar juntas.
Nos va la vida, nuestra salud, luchamos por las condiciones de subsistencia, por la dignidad contra el desprecio y el estigma. Tenemos memoria y sabiduría para defender la vida, la del Raval, la de nuestras comunidades y la del planeta. Si los poderes y las administraciones no saben hacerlo, lo haremos nosotros.
Defendemos lo que es nuestro. Defendemos lo que es de todas.
No a la ampliaciо́n del MACBA.

🇪🇸 (English version below) Lanzamiento en tienda y online el martes 10/03/2023 a las 10:00 a.m. (Hora de Barcelona) : https://amigoskateshop.com/collections/polo-ralph-lauren
"Aquí todo es un organismo vivo, como nosotros. Recogemos la energía que producen estas plantas, árboles y ríos; la tomamos y la volvemos a expulsar."
POLO RALPH LAUREN y ELEMENT se complacen en presentar una colección colaborativa de artículos de cuero y estilos de ropa complementarios para la temporada Otoño 2023. Rica en tonos tierra y detalles de diseño utilitario, la línea se basa en una selección reelaborada de siluetas icónicas de Ralph Lauren infundidas con la posición única de Element en la intersección del skateboarding y la sostenibilidad. Una chaqueta vaquera oversize y unos pantalones chinos de pierna ancha dan paso a prendas de punto inspiradas en el patrimonio, mientras que las sudaderas gráficas, los joggers y los accesorios reflejan el estilo desenfadado pero inconfundible del skateboarding. Fundada en 1992, la misión de Element es aprovechar skateboarding como vehículo para un cambio positivo. Desde entonces, la marca ha evolucionado para abarcar el espacio entre skateboarding, la naturaleza y la cultura, al tiempo que aboga por la protección de nuestro planeta. Con un compromiso mutuo hacia la sostenibilidad, la colección utiliza materiales de origen ético, como algodón orgánico y reciclado, lana y poliéster reciclado. Además, las ventas de los productos se destinarán a la ONG 1% for the Planet, colaboradora de Element.
"Veo a estos chavales venir de distintos países y hacer amigos rápidamente. Hablan idiomas diferentes, pero hablan el idioma del monopatín".
En junio, para celebrar esta colaboración, Desia Gomez (seleccionada por AMIGOS SKATESHOP) y otros 12 skaters de todo el mundo fueron invitados a participar en un campamento de una semana a la sombra del monte Hood, a una hora de Portland, Oregón. El campamento fue organizado por POLO RALPH LAUREN y ELEMENT, dirigido por mentores del equipo profesional de ELEMENT y otras inspiradoras personalidades del skateboarding. A lo largo de cinco días, los skaters se sumergieron en la naturaleza mientras creaban nuevas amistades y cultivaban el respeto por el aire libre, un inesperado telón de fondo para un deporte que a menudo se asocia con el entorno urbano. Seek Skateboard Camp fue su base de operaciones, aunque también disfrutaron de un tiempo de exploración en el cercano Bosque Nacional del Monte Hood. Con representación de varios idiomas, el equipo se unió por su amor al monopatín, compartiendo sus experiencias a través de una pasión común y el respeto mutuo.

"Everything here is a living organism, just like us. We pick up the energy that these plants and trees and rivers produce; take it in and push it back out.”
POLO RALPH LAUREN and ELEMENT are pleased to introduce a collaborative collection of hardgoods and complementary apparel styles for the Fall 2023 season. Rich with Earth tones and utilitarian design details, the line is based around a reworked selection of iconic Ralph Lauren silhouettes infused with Element’s unique position at the intersection of skateboarding and sustainability. An oversized denim jacket and wide-leg chinos give way to heritage-inspired knits, while graphic sweatshirts, joggers, and accessories reflect the casual yet distinct style of skateboarding. Founded in 1992, Element’s mission is to leverage skateboarding as a vehicle for positive change. Since then, the brand has evolved to span the space between skateboarding, nature, and culture, all while advocating for protection of our planet. With a mutual commitment towards sustainability, the collection uses ethically sourced materials including organic and recycled cotton, wool, and recycled polyester. Additionally, sales from the hardgoods will support Element’s NGO partner, 1% for the Planet.
“I see these kids coming in from different countries and making friends quickly. They speak different languages, but they speak the language of skateboarding.”
This June, in celebration of this collaboration, Desia Gomez (selected by AMIGOS SKATESHOP) and 12 other skaters from around the world were invited to take part in a week-long camp under the shadow of Mt. Hood, an hour outside of Portland, OR. The camp was hosted by POLO RALPH LAUREN and ELEMENT, led by mentors from ELEMENT’s pro team and other inspiring skateboarding personalities. Over the course of five days, the skaters immersed themselves in nature while creating new friendships and cultivating respect for the outdoors—an unexpected backdrop for the sport often associated with the urban environment. Seek Skateboard Camp was their home base, while also enjoying time exploring in nearby Mt. Hood National Forest. With several languages represented, the crew bonded over their love of skateboarding—sharing their experiences through a common passion and mutual respect.

Since the identity of the owner of said pair is unknown, the Charity's legendary status among collectors has existed only in urban legend. The eBay Dunk Low provides some transparency and the missing piece to the impossibly complex puzzle.
Now in honor of the Nike SB 20th Anniversary, there are releasing in honor the man behind its skateboarding category with a sneaker that references one of the rarest SBs ever, the “Ebay” Dunk. And to Honer Sandy Bodeckers.
The 2022 eBay Dunk reconstructs the famous colorway in patent leather with translucent chopped-up windows, adds Nike SB Forever accents, and includes photo insoles honoring Sandy Bodecker and his significant contributions to SB's legacy and storytelling.
For 2022, the Dunk Low returns in the same color scheme as the original. It features a White base with eBay’s signature Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green overlays. This new version will now feature “clear” stripes across the sole and side panels as a nod to where the original eBay Dunk Low sample was cut. The heel panels will also feature SB branding instead of the eBay logo. Finishing touches includes special graphic insoles of Sandy Bodecker and his son.

Why So Sad? is an ongoing exploration into the nature of mental health initiated by John Rattray. After losing his sister to suicide and dealing with depression himself, Rattray developed the project starting in 2017.
Why So Sad? is not a charity but rather, a storytelling platform that approaches a serious subject through a lighthearted play on skateboarding’s language. The “Sad Plant” & “Sad Grab” are two tricks adopted as motifs to symbolize the conversation. “I think of it like a shared code,” Rattray has said. The mission of the project is to invite conversation. It simply asks that—as well as skating or riding— we also take some time to stop talk, listen, read & learn about this subject.
"I can’t count all the times I’ve heard, “skateboarding saved my life”, or “skateboarding’s my escape” Rattray says. “My point is, that’s great! Now, let’s explore that all-important follow-up question, “What has it saved you from?”, “What are you escaping from?"
Why Is It So Sad? skateboarder John Rattray launched a mission to improve people's mental health. Following the release of the first images earlier this summer, we now have an official release date for the movement's collaborative Nike SB Dunk Low.
"I hope that one day we'll be able to discuss depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts in the same way we discuss a swellbow." "I hope that when things get tough, each of us will have the skills to help ourselves and each other through the storm," Rattray said in an interview.
The new pairs feature a light blue leather base with darker blue wear-away panels that reveal a yellow base coating. The mesh tongues have red Nike SB tags stitched on the outside, while the interior sides have "Why So Sad?" labels. The Predatory Bird, the mission's mascot, can be found cruising on a bike on the lateral heel counter embroidery and doing a handstand while skateboarding on the mismatched insoles. In addition, question mark motifs are incorporated across the suede heel tabs and lace tips. White midsoles and semi-translucent icy rubber outsoles complete the look.

Frog Skateboards, founded in 2015 by Chris Milic and Jesse Alba, is less of a company and more of a bunch of friends that don't care about being pro-skaters or being the finest board brand in the world, but rather focus on being the torchbearers of fun in the ever-changing world of skating. Their eccentric and one-of-a-kind look includes Vans skateboarders Nick Michel and Brighton Zeuner.
Vans and Frog Skateboards' second collaboration brings back the silicone charm Sidestripe on the Skate Old Skool in two highly colorful colors: Frog Brown and Frog Green. The DURACAP underlay provides flexibility and reduces bulk to avoid hot spots, resulting in a critical fit for optimal durability where skaters need it the most. Furthermore, Vans' best-in-class PopCush energy-return footbeds snap back and won't pack out, keeping legs feeling fresh and allowing you to skate for longer.

BRONZE 56K and DC Shoes are teaming up once more, this time to bring back one of the footwear brand's most famous skate shoes: the Clocker 2.
Together, the two have created three outdoor-inspired hues of the Clocker 2, each with distinctive, co-branded branding and a construction that is loyal to the original specs of the 90s design. The shoes are made mostly of suede and come in wheat as well as light and dark blue tones.
Reinforced paneling covers the toe and heel. A sturdy sole unit rests beneath, directly opposite the tongue, and its mesh exterior acts as the backdrop for BRONZE 56K's version of DC's star emblem.
