Hot shoes.

IT APPEARS THOSE $10,000-A-MONTH PAYCHECKS WERE JUST too tempting to pass up, so ledge-legend Brain Wenning has left his long-time home at Habitat to ride for Plan B. Danny Way, meanwhile, has drawn up an exclusive deal with his beloved Slayer for a limited-edition series of custom graphics

After World Industries cleared house, Chad Bartie went back to his roots and is now riding for Kewday skateboards, owned and operated by his very own brother Jamie, back in Australia. Kewday, which does for Oz what Clich6 and Blueprint are doing for Europe, has got what is shaping up to be the gnarliest squad Down Under. Good on ya, Bartos!

As the scraps from the Flip team cuts continue to settle, we find Brazil's own Danilo Cerezini on William Weiss' popular Blind brand. No such luck for former teammate Alex Chalmers, who was unceremoniously let go from the Adio squad. Never count Chalms out, though.

He quit Lakai and was supposed to get on Adidas, but Fullerton's Danny Garcia has now finally found stable footing on eS. And back at Adidas, Newton, KS' Dennis Busenitz is a proud new rider, having severed ties with Gavin's powerful DVS empire.

At times all he had was a sandwich, but now, following his untimely passing, Harold Hunter has his own day, October 7th. New Yorkers are set to toast their fallen friend with a skate jam, music, and fundraising events by Zoo, KCDC, and those hats with the stickers on them.

Anthony Van Engelen has been looking tougher and tougher over the last few years, but tough enough for Indy? The answer is yes.

In a soft goods switch up, Kerry Getz and Mike York are off of Ezekiel. With no fanfare or nothin', but Mike also appears absent from the Chocolate roster.

Nick Fiorini on Darkstar? He won the Phoenix Am. Why the hell not?

Thrasher fave and King of the Road legend Jeremy "Sherm" Rogers has officially entered the big time with a signature shoe on DVS. Shave your muff and go pick up a pair.
