Just when you think that the skateboard brands are sleeping a bit and not being enough innovative these days, a brand like Manik comes around the corner and surprises. The Seattle based skateboard brand impresses with great design and also quality. Their entire collection is made in Japan, so you can be sure that details and quality are as good as they could get.
Their Fall 2007 collection is getting into stores right now and you will for sure not be disappointed. They split the collection into two themes – the Animal Series and the Dia De Los Muertos Series. Find t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, jackets, beanies, caps and more in the collection. Also the collection is entirely cut & sew. These are the kind of standards we want to see more in this industry. Manik has a bit the feel of a more grown-up skateboard brand.
Accounts that will be carrying this collection include Goods, Huf, In4mation, Caliroots and others. Check out some stand-out pieces of the collection after the jump.
