Snkrs Day: Style wise, what goes into picking out your get-up for an event like Coastal Carnage?
Rune Glifberg: I just try to put something together that?s kind of basic and not too wild. Obviously you want to keep your sponsors happy. It?s always nice to have some color, maybe stand out a little bit, but sometimes I just wear all white t-shirts. I try to stay away from red. Red?s kind of a no-go color for me while I?m competing. It?s kind of like a superstitious color for me. I can do little hits of red here and there if it?s on a shoe, but no red t-shirts, no red hats. Pretty much the same stuff I wear everyday. It kind of depends on what kind of event I?m skating in too.
Nick Trapasso: Picking out my outfit? I didn?t have sh*t. My brother brought this over. He brought me some shoes and a shirt because I was rocking the same stuff for like four days.
Snkrs Day: We keep track of what a lot of artists and entertainers wear. Any celebs you’d like to see in your signatures?
Rune Glifberg: Just get them on some girls! Put some supermodels in those kicks!
Kenny Anderson: That?s a good one. So many musicians wear Chucks. To me it?s family and friends. That?s more important than anything. To see my pops in a pair of my shoes is way more important, but I’d definitely like to see them on some awesome musicians.
Snkrs Day: Kalani, you’re the youngest guy on the team. What have you learned from the older guys?
Kalani David: They just taught me to be respectful to my elders. I?ve already known that since I?m from Hawaii and if you don?t you get beat up. They?re really cool to me. They?ve been helping me out and telling me lines here and there and just giving me advice. They?re my heroes.
Kalani David on his other boardSnkrs Day: Not only are you the youngest, but you’re also a two sport athlete. How does surfing help your skating?
Kalani David: Style definitely helps. Surfing you?re looser. I?m stoked to be able to do both.
Snkrs Day: Any tricks you’re looking to bring from one board to the other?
Kalani David: 540s. I?ve been doing 540s skateboarding for about a year now. I?ve been trying them surfing, towing in behind a jet ski and trying 720s.
