Scotty Cranmer – Giving Away My Signature Vans

September 1, 2017

Here’s a little treat from Scotty Cranmer for you to try and get in on. Remember Scotty’s Signature SK8-Hi Pro shoes from 2014? They haven’t been made for a few years, but Vans did a limited run of 100 pairs for Scotty to give away at jams and more. Scotty decided to give away 3 Pairs to three lucky fans. Below is a video where he explains what you need to to win… This is a real simple contest, BUT… remember that you’re competing with over 1,000,000 subscribers…

“I have been sponsored by vans shoes since I was 16 years old and turned professional on my BMX bike! Since then I have had so many amazing memories on my bike wearing vans shoes including worlds first tricks and winning the X games! But the best memory I have had with vans was when I got my signature shoe from them! They stopped making my shoe a few years ago but vans decided to surprise me by making 100 pairs of my shoes for me to do whatever I want with! So I decided to start by giving away three pair to three lucky winners here on my YouTube channel!” – Scotty Cranmer

Are you looking for a new pair of shoes, but you want to try something a little different? SCg Shoe Co. has been making BMX shoes since 1999 and they know a thing or two about making a shoe that’s built to hold up to the wear and tear from riding. Today, we’re going to check out the LoPro model with a wild Tactical camouflage upper that looks rad. Here’s a few words on the shoe direct from SCg…

“The LoPro’ was designed and developed to withstand the abuse of riding BMX, MTB, and skating, while remaining comfortable and stylish. It was built with a full length EVA Mid sole, along with a custom polyurethane insole to be incredibly durable and high-impact resistant. The outsole is 400 NBS rubber for wear resistance, with a Herringbone tread pattern to keep it grippy. It is both glued and stitched around the entire outsole for durability as well, with light padding around the ankle. The LoPro is designed to be more “Lo” “Pro”file around and under the ankle bone than the ‘Sound’ model, giving greater freedom of movement and a less restricted feel. Lower in the front at the eyelets and straight cut under the ankle bone to the heel. Our lowest profile shoe in the lineup so far.”

The LoPro Tactical is available for $64.99 through the SCG Webstore or BMX shops and mail-orders that carry SCg worldwide.

The LoPro uses both stitching and glue to hold the shoe together. That added durability is great for riders that tend to tear through shoes quickly.

Etnies Have Teamed Up With Michelin Tires For New Marana Shoe

July 31, 2017

Anyone who has rode BMX for a while knows there’s nothing worse than picking up a pair of shoes and having them get completely destroyed after a couple of sessions. It also sucks having shoes that aren’t grippy or are stiff as a board. When it comes to rubber, there’s different things you can do to make them softer and grippier or harder and more durable, but it can be tricky to find a combination that gives you softer, grippy and durable all in one shot. Etnies decided it was time to try something new to make a shoe that had all the features that are needed for BMX and skating, so they teamed up with Michelin Tires to create an outsole that did just that! Below you can find a video explaining how the idea all came about and how they made the shoes! This is real interesting and we’re definitely curious to try a pair out. You can pick the shoes up on the Etnies Webstore now!

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to purchase a pair. Don’t worry! We wouldn’t tell you about this if we weren’t stoked on it ourselves.

“etnies and Michelin have partnered to make the most durable shoe in skateboarding even more long-lasting with the global release of the Michelin Marana whose outsole is now equipped with Michelin’s rally racing rubber compound. In an effort to continuously improve the world’s most durable skateboarding footwear, etnies joined forces with Michelin to translate performance and durability of tires to shoes. After countless days of testing and research, Michelin’s PC00 rally racing compound was chosen to be added to the soles of the etnies Marana due to the: long-lasting formula, slip-resistant offering that includes unmatched durability, precision, enhanced adherence (grip) and maximum flexibility for a superior board feel that skateboarders desire.

Etnies Michelin Marana Shoe

The goal of the partnership between etnies and Michelin was to increase the durability of the outsole, while still retaining the same basic aesthetics that skaters love in the Marana by developing a rubber compound that would not lose any of the existing properties, but would add more durability to the outsole. When Michelin agreed to partner with etnies, not only did they come back with a compound more durable with high grip abrasion, but they also suggested a combination of tread patterns taken from their high-performance tire archive to provide an outsole tread design that provided better flexibility, extreme grip in dusty conditions and rigidity in areas of the sole to protect against harsh landings.”
