Where would you be without today’s skate shoe? Today’s skate shoe encompasses some of the most advanced technology you can find in any sneaker today. Maybe except for the Roller Shoe. Where would you be without the added stronger fibrous layers of a Nike SB. Or the multidensity rubber and gel pocketed sole of a DC shoe? And supposed you didn’t have the hidden pocket within the tongue where you can hide little baggies full of things like, you know Skittles.
Well without yesterday’s skate sneaker, none of this would be supporting your feet now. You would probably be wearing $15 ghetto boots from Wal-Mart, which aren’t that bad except they fall apart fast.
Well Sneaker Freaker as usual is there to drop some knowledge on you with the History Of The Skate Shoe. This first segment takes a comprehensive look at how it all started between the years of 1960 to 1985. Most of you may not have even been born yet and if you were alive, you were probably still a zit-faced virgin. Regardless, you should still read it.
