Louie Lopez's "LL2" Release Party Photos
3/10/2025
Louie hit a new milestone with a second signature shoe for CONS. Will the biggest and baddest in LA show up to support the release? Guess you'll have to check the record from Atiba's night out.

Interesting street art. Wonder if we're gettin' close
Is that Danny Montoya and Steve Nesser? Must be the place!
Inside the venue, we get a first look at the product and a promising street little course
Jake and Bobby, thank you for your service
You gonna get some, Rye?
Well, looks like some other homies are already gettin' it
Bump to ledge? Nah, BOD's hittin' it from flat. Back Smith
Yeah, he's been to Frogtown. How can you tell?
There HE is! Lou comes through with a perfectly dipped back Smith
Dutchy's here, too!
Brian, back with the other crook
Skate Wizard Macey Lemus called the fuzz
Manderson's in building, firing off the feeble
New dude, Romel Torres lets loose, front-foot-wise
These guys really like the ride-on rail. Gavo goin' switch
Krazy Frankie's here to close it out, takin' flight over the rainbow
Alexis, you know you can just do simple shit at this kinda thing? Not your style, though, we get it. Kicky front board to open and close the down rail session
Gavin, in the rafters with an FSO
Larry Bertlemann couldn't make it, but Jan's got it covered
Alva, too!
And the big stunt to end the show. Gavin, frontside air across the chasm
Pretty wild stuff. Right, Tyson?
After the demo, we got the AV portion of the night. Now let's see the faces that made the crowd
You know CONS company men James Cruickshank and Lee Berman wouldn't miss it
Standing room only tonight. CONS guys Matt and Jimmy still got the best seat in the house
Now let's get one with Alexis and Adam Binette
Slight wear on the new boots. Still shinin'
Smiles all night around Louie, like with Mike and sales master Jack Moran
Tony and Mackie between the stars
All star ain't just the name of a shoe
In the streets or at the party, it's always good to see Jeremy Leabres
Milton, Jon and Neck, you love to see 'em
Christina came through with Eunice—the night's best dressed
All love for our local shops. Dave from Black Hole and Sean from Rose Street brought some much-needed peace
Sean knows everyone in here! Like up-and-comers Gavin and Paige
Erik and Matt, thick as thieves
Tino alone is a great sight, but Tino with a party dog takes his presence to the next level. Alexis can't resist a pup
If only Matt had a black hat we could make a twinning joke about Jaime
Tony C got hella Vegas homies, like Fookes and Baca
Baker, Baker! Nuge and Sammy hold it down
Two of our most beloved
Heavy lineup: Daniel, Tony, Neck, Nuge and AVE
Tim Fulton got the Andersons in stereo. Wonder which speaker's louder?
The undisputed champions of the 'Gram Henry and Mel. Hopefully they're schemin' another spot video
Trevor and Jake got out of the East Coast cold for a night out. Remember to hydrate, fellas
Beautiful people everywhere, especially Tom and company
Maybe Milton already got that Ben zine
Y'all got Golden Eye?! Levon, Twuan and Neck fired up the N64
Highspeed associates Neck and Teebs
Mike and Stevie made it?! That's pretty sweet!
More Crail guys past and present, Meza and Smyth
Let's get some more friends with 'em, like Diana and Tony
Atiba, too!
You know Atiba's down with the Rose Street crew
Dickies dudes Adrian, Mike and Joe Face still enjoyin' the Honeymoon
Louie's got all his bases covered with friends from the Skate-and-Destroy delegation making it out
Best lookin' bunch of the night? Of course they're with Curren
Nuge get his shop talk with our friends at No-Comply, Familia and Rose Street
Mason, scoot over. It's a CONS thing
CONS cowgirl boots?! Could be a thing
Thought we'd miss Stephanie Moshammer and video auteur Ben Chadourne? Think again!
Mom's here! Must be time for some family photos
Let's do it by the step and repeat. First step with CONS European man Luidgi
Repeat with Francois from Vega skateshop in Paris
How about one with the video team from Louie's campaign, Bryant Inthavong and Renee Krumweide
Lana Aleixo's instrumental in making nights like this happen, of course she's gotta get a photo!
Cheers with his bike bro Jimmy Rosas
Gotta get one with his boy Ryan Lee and the gang
One with AVE? That's Fucking Awesome
Alexis solo is pretty cool
But how about we do one with her Seize the Seconds co-star?! Great!
Actually, let's get some more glasses in there
And one more with the ride-or-dies, Louie's number-one fans and biggest supporters. Skateboarding's a family affair, but so is actual family
And the ender. The parting gifts go to our loyal supporters, the Coulthard boys Oliver and Owen. Now go out and get a pair of the Louie Lopez 2—and probably one of these hoodies to complete the look
