Review: iPath Grasshopper Vibram

March 23, 2012

iPath

Unless you have been completely out of the loop, a few weeks back iPath started making a few real big moves in their BMX department for 2012. They picked up the BMX shoe guru Brian Osborne and shortly after announced the addition of Van Homan, Seth Kimbrough, Shane Weston and Alex Magallan. Now, unless you just don’t care about BMX, this is a pretty big deal. The brand needed a pretty big change to really start appealing to riders again. Without any doubt, I think they hit things right on the nuts with this crew.
With all of the goodness coming from them, I decided it would probably be a good time to take a closer look at the brands products. In this review, I’ll give you the break down of their Grasshopper Vibram shoe along with some Insight to two other shoes that I’ve been trying out for a few weeks now; the Stash and Iconic.
Let’s jump into this…

Review: Almond Belmont Shoes + Giveaway

January 22, 2012

Almond Footwear

A few weeks back, I received a care package from Almond. They had sent over a pair of Ben Hucke’s new signature Belmont model shoe to check out and spend some time riding in. When I opened the box up, I found not just one, but two pairs of the shoes. They said I could keep them to myself, or I could give the extra pair away to a lucky fan of The Union, who happens to wear a size 10.5. So, I have been wearing the shoes for a few weeks now and figured I’d give you some insight on what the shoe is all about, how well they held up and my personal opinion on the shoe. Then you can find out how to win the extra pair. Check it!
