Natas Kaupas and Grant Brittain Relive the Venice Beach Days in Celebration of NB# 480 Remix
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Straight from the streets of Dogtown, Natas Kaupas and legendary lensman, J. Grant Brittain stroll around Venice Beach to reminisce about the days that basically started it all to celebrate the New Balance x Natas 480 High Remix kicks (that just dropped in skate shops today, May 17th).
Decades of friendship... decades of inspiration. This epic link up is something we didn't realize we needed until it happened. So rad! Take a look:
If only those curbs and banks could talk! There two made so much photographic magic over the years—countless, timeless stills that truly live rent free in so many of our minds—and hearing the stories that made these moments is really awesome.
And I love how humble Natas is talking about the frontside 360 off the ledge. That was a huge deal in the 80s. Ultimately, just seeing them wandering around Venice and Santa Monica is a treat in itself, though. These two have been handling biz for so long and continue to inspire skateboarders (and aspiring photographers) all the same.

As mentioned, the New Balance 480 Highs remixed by Natas are officially on skate shop walls across the country starting today, May 17th. They'll be online this coming Monday, May 20th. The nostalgia is so real. Honestly, though, seeing them on Natas makes them look even better than images of them by themselves! Right!?
Thank for the trip down memory lane, dudes! And thanks for the decades of inspiration.
