DC Court Graffik
The Court Graffik gets better and better with time and remains a classic in the skate scene. Its puffy silhouette is constantly evolving with new colours, eye-catching DC logo pops and fresh materials. You'll enjoy a well-padded upper, ventilation holes and the grippy DC Pill Pattern tread for optimal grip. The upper is made from leather, nubuck or suede (depending on the colourway), while the lightweight mesh tongue and padding provide comfort and optimum support. The cupsole and ventilation holes for breathability round off the comfortable design.
Osiris D3 2001
The Osiris D3 is one of the best-known and most popular skate shoes ever. It has been shaping the skate scene and streetwear culture with its cool look and innovative features since 1999. Now it's back in a modern retro style to inspire a new generation. The team shoe was designed by Osiris athletes and offers an eight-point Breathe-Right ventilation system and double-layer mesh panels for added comfort. The anatomically adapted, padded and non-slip heel cap with double density gives you optimum support during your skate sessions. And of course, the discreet Osiris logo details are a must.
Vans Knu Skool
The Vans Knu Skool sneakers are strongly reminiscent of the classic Old Skool, but with a refreshed 90s vibe and modern technology. The wide shoe laces immediately catch the eye, while the puffed side stripes and padded tongue deliver the beloved retro style inspired by styles from the Vans archives. The upper is made from robust suede and the ankle collar provides additional comfort. The icing on the cake of the Vans Knu is the signature rubber waffle outsole and heel pull for easy entry.
Globe Tilt
The Globe Tilt is a proven classic among skate shoes that impresses both on and off the board with its retro look and high-quality design. The padded cupsole and cushioning insole offer maximum comfort, while the premium upper materials ensure a long service life. The large Globe logo branding and moulded TPR collar complete the dynamic look. The Globe S-Trac™ sole profile gives you optimum grip and control at the skate yard. In a few words: the Globe Tilt is a technical skate shoe with extra padding that simply always works.
