Dime & Adidas Launch Event Photos
5/15/2023
Dime and adidas joined forces to treat the people of LA to a team demo, new gear drop and something of a celebrity sighting. Wanna see the chat bots write about a tracksuit? Here’s your ticket.
First things first, a balanced Brazilian breakfast courtesy of Felipe
Inside the park, Jenn Soto and Mariah Duran were getting Christmas completes going
While Daewon was switch nose manualing all over the place
And when I say all over the place, I’m talking up the euro, into the QP and all the way to the hip
Don’t worry, Sam’s here!
Lil’ Dre had the hip under control
Felipe had his back on the flatbar
Ten AM call time for a demo? Anything for the locals
Diego kept the heat going with a blasted nollie inward heel
Fresh from MIA, the jit himself
And he brought some dip with him!
Some positive reinforcement from the TM
Zeke Duran demonstrates the Albuquerque warmup, which is a bigspin front blunt on the first handrail you see
Deep in the phone zone
Lil’ Dre popped his switch flip well above the watermark
SOTY liked it
D-Ser put the phone down for a second to get as close as possible to my lens
Daewon knew something needed to be done on this ramp
I wouldn’t have guessed it would have been 5-0 to fakie manual. Some say he’s still holding it
And the group consensus is in: It’s hot as fuck
We needed a new location with some shade
The ledge over grass wasn’t enough for Nikolai...
Wanna stay lowkey on the lacquer mission? That new tracksuit oughta do it
Just make sure not to get any on those three stripes
Paul took a quick group poll as to what Nikolai had up his sleeve
But before anyone could get some, Paul had to make his mark to remind the people
Must be nice having a shoe…
Meanwhile, Jenn took advantage of the new wax job and went all the way around the bench
You know Nikolai had to get some
While Felipe and David watched from the sidelines
Felipe ditched the shoes and gave a solid five reasons as to why he didn’t want to skate the new spot. The best one was that he didn’t understand how lacquer worked. Someone send him Salba’s number, please
When he realized this ledge over gap was traditionally waxed up, he couldn’t resist a good old switch back tail flip out. Must be nice
The crowd goes wild
Nikolai had to get his back with the regular back tail kicky
If you’re getting dapped up from Daewon, you know it’s a good day
After a quick shower, we made our way over to the HVW8 gallery in Hollywood. First friendly faces, we got East Coast Jerms and adidas park local Joey Abarca
Lest we get lost, maps were available on the way in
Along with a very witty overview written by ChatGPT. Now write me a business proposal for the next big tech thing in the style of however Lyft got its money
Who could’ve predicted all these tracksuits?!
Behold, the reason for the season
But what about that Luminacore Sphere?
Need your ‘90s nostalgia fix? I got you
It wouldn’t be a Dime party without some proper champagne. I’m assuming these all come from the Champagne region of French Canada
Out front, we have our favorite team manager with his guest of honor
T-Huff takes advantage of the party favors
Jer missed the pattern memo
Donta makin' Carl and Diego look like shrimps
A torn ACL and one crutch couldn’t keep Christina home
When Brad Staba isn’t whipping up pizza or shooting Oakley campaigns, he’s usually sipping on some fine wine
Carl wanted a photo with everyone, including Nak and Alan
Filmer-skater duo Devin Lopez and TJ Rogers rolled up
"You wanna talk about meteors?!"
Team Nora made its way up from sunny San Diego
A limo? Who could this be?
Holy shit, it’s John Wick! Everyone, be extra nice to a puppy if you see one
And Mr. Señor Love Daddy?! Could be the truth, Ruth
I mean, if Carl is gonna snap a photo with everyone, he’s definitely gonna need one with the these guys
One does something with the CIA, the other went back in time and the shoes are from outer space. Can we greenlight this picture already?
Hats off to Montreal for this one
Brad Saunders, a big fan of champagne and movie stars
You know what? Fuck the ‘90s. It’s 2005 and we’re watching Bloc Party or The White Stripes or Yeah Yeah Yeahs or The Shins or Of Montreal or LCD Soundsystem or Broken Social Scene or Feist or The Faint or Interpol or Belle and Sebastian or the Pixies comeback. Tell all your friends with T9
Surprisingly, Nikolai was the only one here rocking speed shades. Carl and Christian need to take notes
Matt Milligan is a diehard Sam Jackson fan, so I had to bless him with a pic
Uh oh, the open bar is turning into open bottles
I made the mistake of getting one...
But as soon as they got ahold of it, I knew it was my time to get out of there
And just like that, we’re gone! A major shoutout to adidas and Dime for a day that will go down as one of my favorites in recent memory. If you want any chance of impressing dudes in the LA scene, celebs or convincing facsimiles, maybe cop a tracksuit and walk around Hollywood Blvd. You’ll never know what might happen

Jerry Hsu: More People I've Known
Fun fact: Jerry Hsu's first People I've Known was the only one that didn't require any kind of major rewriting by the staff. That's right—he's not just pro at skating, but spelling and grammar, too!
