Well, it’s been a long time coming (to say the least) but the Skullcandy Aviator headphones are finally available in the UK. These are probably the most sought after headphones Skullcandy have ever produced and rightly so, they are HOT! Gone are the grungy aesthetics the brand is known for, instead these look more like something out of a Scandinavian design magazine with their sleek outline and elegant minimalism across the three available colours: white, black, and brown.

The Aviators are a high end product featuring large 40mm drivers that back up the good looks, avguide.com had this to say “A brief listen suggested to me that the Aviator is, as advertised, an audiophile-grade headphone that should offer healthy competition for Monster Cable’s almost identically priced Beats by Dre Solo headphones.”

All three colours are up for pre-order and shipping in March.

Nucleus in Swansea, Mumbles and online now stock a wide range of Oakley sunglasses. We are very happy to have what has got to be the best brand of shades out there. Oakley was started in a garage in 1975 and has risen to be one of the most recognisable eyewear brands available, no doubt helped by appearing in such films as X-Men series, Mission: Impossible 2, Blade II, Black Hawk Down, Spider-Man, Wanted (2009 film), G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and The Book of Eli.

Oakley’s are no normal shades, they are made using more snazzy materials and innovative processes than you can shake a stick at, you can read up on all that stuff on their website then call into one of our shops or check out the whole range online…

Here’s a little sneak peek at some of the new Skullcandy headphones for 2010, they have refined their graphics and colours into something even better than before. Like John Peel said about The Fall “they are always different, they are always the same”, Skullcandy is very much like that, each year they tweak and mould their earphones into something a little bit different but retain their great quality and sound. Personally I think 2010 is their best offering to date.

Check out the catalogue here, we haven’t got a release date for them yet but add us on Facebook and Twitter over on the right to be kept in the loop…

One of our newest brands is Superdry clothing and it’s proving extremely popular both in store and online. We are the only stockist in Swansea and have dedicated a fairly sizeable portion of the shop to it. We sold out pretty quick during our first season and have really gone for it this summer with everything from jogging bottoms to t-shirts and the ever popular jackets (with their 3 front zips!).

As you can see from the photos Superdry clothing is a vibrant, bold brand which has established itself as a staple in the wardrobe of every street-savvy man and woman across the UK. Next time you are in town keep an eye out for their hooded shirts, you’ll be astounded by how many you will see then you’ll start seeing the distinctive shoulder print on the windcheaters, seriously Superdry is EVERYWHERE.

The quality of Superdry is something definitely worth mentioning, they don’t feel like any other clothing out there. The materials are thick with noticeably wide hems and cuffs on the hoodies and sweats. The t-shirts fall into a few separate catagories, some are lightweight and slim fitting while others are made from heavy cotton and have a more relaxed fit. Prints are often distressed with a vintage edge featuring Japanese type or concepts revolving around media and motoring sitting alongside straight up recognisable branding.

Superdry clothing is a big hitter in urban street wear and has grown at an alarming rate since it began in 2003. If you like to be on the cutting edge of fashion but won’t compromise on quality then you should really pop into our stores in Swansea or take a look at the mens and ladies ranges on our website in the knowledge that you can get free delivery both ways, so even if you aren’t into it when you try it on you can return at no cost to yourself.

We got a load of awesome new Vans in today, including a whole bunch of canvas models which are absolutely perfect for the summer, they are at home both on the beach during the day and at the punk gig into the early hours. The Authentics are vegan too which is a bonus for, uh, vegans and animals worldwide. I’ve only posted my faves below so be sure to check out both the mens and ladies Vans pages on the site for the full range. We have them from a UK 4 right the way up to UK 15, we try to keep a decent range of big skate shoes in stock at all times cause we are nice like that.
