For the last week I've been wearing and reviewing a new shoe by Airwalk and designer Jeff Staple. It's "skate specific" and pretty much built like your typical skate shoe. My first thought was "this shoe is extremely light" which compared to other shoes I wear is true. I just received one model, the 50/50 in Buffalo, of which they have several so I am including a couple of pics. I was a little skeptical about the color at first, but the more I wear them the more I like it. Kinda has a Scottish flair, being that they are black and red checked. (Dude, they would look Awesome with a kilt!!!) Time will tell as to how they wear and all that good stuff, but I'm thinking these babies are going to hold up well.
As far as availability goes they will be at Payless, exclusively. If your thinking that it's a U.S. shoe only, think again because I hear they are also going to be on payless.com. I don't know the exact date of release, but I heard some time in August.
Another awesome aspect to this line by Airwalk is there won't be a model that sells for over 50 bucks U.S. The price tag on the 50/50 they sent me was $39.95. Now that's a deal!!! I'm not knocking other shoe companies for there pricing, (I have a lot of skate shoes) but Dude, 40 bucks? ya that's cool.
Check em out and get yourself a pair or two. I'm gonna.
thanks for reading. asta later G's
Jeff
