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.

Custom footbed with the Tampa logo for a unique look and a tribute to where the brand is based.

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