Nike is by far the largest footwear and athletic company in the world, but they still realize the value of their local distributor. Their skateboarding division has opened a new microsite titled ‘Nike SB: Support Your Local’ that currently showcases Enfield, CT’s Skate Lair alongside Chicago’s Uprise. Both have extensive photo capsules from Todd Jordan, who seeks to show “some of the faces that have been there . . . back when it was still considered derelict.” Check out more photos after the jump, including plenty from the Nike SB Fall/Holiday ‘09 apparel collection.
