The Daily Grind

Shop Riot.....

Ideal will be shut on Sunday as we are attending the Vans Shop Riot at Central Skatepark in Manchester. We got a squad of rippers warmed up and ready to represent Birmingham so if you want to get involved then join the convoy. We are meeting up at the store at 10am on Sunday and leaving as soon after then as possible. It promises to be a sick event with a bunch of ‘teams’ from around the country in attendance and it’s free to get in so make the most of the extra hour and get in on it…….

And today we got Extremely Sorry in stock..

Busenitz and Campus.

We have had so many requests for these sneaks that i got to post them here so everybody knows they are in. We just got the Brown / Gum Busenitz that a lot of folk are hot for, plus a new colourway in what is quickly becoming our best selling vulc, the Campus in a black-black colour up.

Take a look at what we got here

Bubble bobble.

Everyone needs a little lift on a Monday morning [pints of coffee excluded] and this morning we got served ours in the form of some new Ideal bobble beanies. We got a nice amount in stock and also got the knitter in chief to drop a few one off fancy colours in there too. Same high quality as last time so you know that one of these hats will keep your bonce from falling off…

Finally, the much anticipated Palace has landed. Check what we got here.
