adidas Skateboarding x Palace Skateboards – The vintage style “Copa” jersey from adidas is getting geared up for Palace Skateboards’ team rider Benny Fairfax. The all new “Skate Copa” campaign has adidas seeing skate through the eyes of soccer and this classic soccer jersey arrives with the adidas trefoil logo on one side of the chest, and the Palace logo on the opposing chest.

The “Hp 8” is just powerful enough to compete with other entry-level tablets, but the price is what will grab people’s attention.
