We headed over to NJ Skateshop and caught up with former Big Brother editor and contributor to countless interviews for Thrasher Magazine and Vice, Chris Nieratko. He is also the owner of both NJ Skateshop locations in New Brunswick and Jersey City and is the author of Skinema. We covered the release of the brand new NJ X Vans collab based on the iconic Sayre and Fisher bricks of Nieratko's hometown, Sayreville, NJ. The bricks built every city from Richmond to Boston and the story behind their meaning that Chris explains is incredible. We also discuss Chris's career, how he got his start with Thrasher, his legendary run-ins with Heltah Skeltah, Method Man, and the time Big Pun pulled a gun on him, his love for Nas and Ghostface Killah, his experience as a father and more. Visit NJ Skateshop and go to njskateshop.com to see availability of NJ x Vans.
