Martini Skate and Snow

Martini Skate and Snow: Bio

Futures are born from progression.

Martini Skate and Snow, located in the Northfield / Macedonia, OH area (just between Akron and Cleveland) was conceived from the idea that skateboarding and snowboarding are defined by personal style and originality. Founded in the fall of 2006, the shop opened as a venue to support the connection of fashion, art, and street culture to skateboarding and snowboarding style.

Style evolves through malfunction.

While remaining true to core roots in skating and riding, Martini Skate and Snow also offers some of the finest in modern lifestyle apparel. Taking nods from movements on the East and West Coasts to blend a boutique atmosphere with a board shop, Martini Skate and Snow offers a lifestyle experience inspired by the latest and the limited in street-influenced form and style. The clothing lines carried at Martini represent an aesthetic of high fashion inspired and supported by skateboarding and snowboarding: WeSC, Lifetime Collective, Volcom, RVCA, Analog, Altamont, Nikita, Foursquare, Special Blend, Nixon, Gentle Fawn, and more.

Our hardgoods selection is a culmination of the same ideals: a bringing-together of functionality and style by brands that are driven by people who skate and ride. In terms of skateboard selection, we boast one of the largest and most complete brand selections, including Alien Workshop, Habitat, Stereo, Element, Girl, Chocolate, Krooked, Black Label, Zoo York, Plan B, Toy Machine, Foundation, Almost, Enjoi, and many more. For the snow, we carry the complete line of boards, boots and bindings from Forum Snowboards, Capita, Signal, Forecast, Dinosaurs Will Die, Lib Tech, Gnu, Stepchild boards, Vans, 32, and DC boots and Union bindings.

Expect to find one of the freshest selections of footwear in Northeast Ohio at Martini Skate and Snow. Our current line-up includes Nike SB, Vans, Lakai, DVS, Adio, Etnies, Emerica, Es, Ipath, Gravis, and Adidas Skateboarding.

So what is in a name? In ancient Latvia, Martini (Martini) was the name of a festival, celebrated on November 10, marking the end of the fall and the beginning of winter. The festival marks the passage from Usins to Martins, two horse deities. Usins (Usin..) is invoked during the summer, while Martins (Martin..) is a winter god. The festival marked the end of the preparations for winter, such as salting meat and fish, storing the harvest and making preserves. Martini also marked the beginning of masquerading and sledding, among other winter activities.
