Professional skateboarder Corey Duffel is out here celebrating a new Warsaw colorway and he’s doing it with some of the people who shaped the skate world.
The event is in Berkeley across from 510 Skate Shop and he’s inviting anyone who wants to roll through.
Duffman posted about the night and it’s full of hype.
He gave props to Bryce Kanights for doing more for the early days of skateboarding than most could even imagine.
Skateboarding legend Jamie Thomas got a shout too, someone who paved the way for everyone chasing their own thing on a board.
Duffman called it standing on the shoulders of giants, and you can tell he means it.
He opened up about how skateboarding and punk rock shaped who he is.
Duffman says he’s lived life his own way, in his own head, doing things how he wants. He admits he’s a headache, a maniac, a narcissist, a lover, a loser, and a skateboarder. All in all, he’s 100 percent do or die. That’s not just skating, it’s how he lives.
Duffman also thanked everyone who’s been part of his life, the people who rolled with him through all the ups and downs.
He’s hoping to see folks at the celebration and gave a shoutout for the new colorway from Warsaw.
The shoe drops tomorrow at 9 PM, and anyone who’s into skating or just realness is gonna want to check it.
This isn’t just a shoe release. For Duffman, it’s about sharing a life he’s lived loud, wild, and on his own terms with the people who helped him get here.

"Tonight is a very special one. @brycekanights and myself are celebrating our shoe release with Jamie Thomas. If you’d like to come, it is in Berkeley across the street from 510 skate shop.
It’s hard to explain but the special needs loser has been very blessed. I am very thankful. Bryce did more for the first decades of skateboarding than many. Jamie has obviously paved the way as well and none of us would be doing what we are doing without his way of surviving. Standing on the shoulders of Giants.
Obviously, I am very influenced by skateboarding, but let’s not forget music and punk rock is what really shaped who I am. Im quixotic and have lived in my own head and my own world for many years doing things my way I’m a complete headache, maniac, narcissist, asshole, lover, loser, and skateboarder. I’m 100% do or die. A way of life
Thank you to everybody that’s been a part of my chapters and my journey throughout life and skateboarding
I truly hope I get to see some of you tonight
Thank you for the colorway @warsawltd
The shoe is out tomorrow 9pm"
