Crip walk shoes......?

Hey guys so you know yesterday i posted a video on a guy giving a C walk tutorial well i was checking out some other videos and found this guy who i thought was really awesome at it and he had pretty cool shoes on so i checked out the like and found out about these shoes that him and his twin brother have invented called 'Vestige'.

The shoes are designed purposely for this style of dancing, Michael and louis xu started c walking in 2007 and started selling the shoes half way through 2008. They managed to get the shoes made so easily because their dad actually owns a shoe factory (lucky!).

To get everything off the ground they got a loan from their dad lol for $4,000! I don't think my mum would do that HAHA anyway within the year they sold 40 pairs for $65 each which is pretty sweet for just starting out right!?

So the technical side about the shoes is that the sole is actually slanted at both the heel and the toe to make an easy pivot.So about the actual appearance of the shoe the logo is pretty fly and the white and black contrast is a nice idea but i do get a sort of bowling shoe feeling?

Well anyway thought i would do a lil research post today hope it wasn't boring!!?

Peace out
