History of Skate Shoes at Sneaker Freaker



Check out Sneaker Freaker for The History of Skate Shoes part 1 and part 2 for some great product shots of old school skate shoes. My first memories of skate shoes are the Airwalk Velocity, but this goes way back before those.

And if you can ever get your hands on it, ON Video Summer 2002 has a nice little feature on how skate shoes are designed and manufactured. It's hosted by the Muska when he rode for Circa, before he fell victim to the party.
