Dylan Rieder’s new Gravis shoe will arrive in skateshops next week, on May 1st. Of course, the lead colorway slip-on is limited and highly coveted, so to give you a better chance of getting some, The Skateboard Mag is giving away three pairs this month.

Just follow The Skateboard Mag Twitter feed and wait for a Dylan-related trivia question every Friday for the next three weeks. We'll randomly pick a winner from the correct answers and the lucky guy/gal will score themselves a new pair of Dylan's new Gravis shoe.

Considering skateboarding brought the X-Games and all kinds of skate tourist dollars to Philly, I think they owe us one.
