As an added feature, the sneaker’s suede Ollie patch not only enhances the shoe’s aesthetics but also has added durability, giving the shoe added capability to hold up to repeated foot scrapings.

Although the sneaker is purposely designed as a skating shoe, its timeless and clean silhouette appeals to the general sneaker-loving population. In addition, the N-durance rubber foxing tape keeps the shoe’s construction nicely put together as it attaches the sole to the upper while affording abrasion resistance.

The shoe has a vulcanized sole which may not provide as much protection and support as a cup sole, but is preferred by those looking for a good board feel, lighter shoe weight, and lesser bulk. Due to its vulcanized sole, the shoe is flexible and breaks in quickly.
