You know it, you love it, Shop Talk is back. This time from Los Angeles where Louie Lopez and Converse threw a blowout celebration for the release of the Louie Pro 2, his new shoe.
Fresh LA resident, the affable Big Hen Dawg, took the reins as host to chop it up with the locals and ask some of our burning questions, including but not limited to influencer vs. skater, the new EDGLRD flick, and who’s underrated right now.
Think we missed an important topic? Let us know, we’ll probably steal it for the next video.
Anyways, if you dig the series and want us to stop by your favorite shop or local skatepark, hit us up. All you have to do is buy us a plane ticket out there and convince us it’ll be a good time. Fuck it, we’ll probably do it.
