First Try Braille Skate Shoes
BRAILLE FIRST TRY SKATE SHOES
Well, we did it. FIRST TRY!
Designed by Aaron Kyro himself, we combined all of the best parts of Aaron’s favorite shoes into one ultimate skate shoe.
FIRST TRYYYYYY!
DESIGN:
Aaron Kyro was involved firsthand in every step of the design process, making sure to combine the best parts of all his favorite skate shoes.
Chosen for the classic silhouette, comfort, freedom of movement, and ease to wear – The Braille Skate Shoe was designed to be the perfect all-around skate shoe.
CONSTRUCTION:
We opted for a cupsole construction (vs. vulcanized) in order to improve the overall support and durability of the shoe.
The footbed used in the Braille shoe has been specifically developed to provide the wearer with an optimum level of comfort and support while also remaining lightweight and maintaining a good level of board feel.
The outsole, made from a rubber (SBR) compound, is commonly used in quality footwear to provide excellent grip, comfort, and durability resulting in a high-performance skate shoe.
MATERIALS:
The Upper is made of high-quality suede sourced from Spain to provide the classic skate look and feel. The tongue and collar of the shoe have been reinforced with a foam padding for extra comfort and foot support. The front part of the shoe (the vamp) uses a singular piece of suede which greatly increases the durability.
The laces are high-quality cotton which increases their longevity with little to no chance of snapping.
This shoe has a unique front toe bumper with a prominent texture for added grip while doing technical skate tricks.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:
Portugal.
Sizing
Shoes are standard men’s sizes and fit true to size. Whole sizes only. Ladies! Sizing is easily converted over to women’s sizes by simply adding 1.5 to the US size. For example, a men’s size 7 is a women’s size 8.5.
Customer Reviews
We have been learning to skate here in NZ by watching Aaron’s videos. Aaron you are amazing and a great teacher. Cody in the office has been fantastic when I was ordering some t’shirts and shoes. Thanks form the girls down at the bottom of the world - New Zealand
Haven't tried the shoes on yet due to the fact that I'm not to thrilled about the PINK b logo on the side of both shoes. Ordered the grey first try shoes. Be warned that if you order the grey you will probably get big PINK b logos on the side of the shoes.... I did.
Solid skate shoe with enough insole to protect your feet while still letting you feel the board. They run a little small so I would get a half size up from what you usually wear. After two weeks of skating in them they have no apparent damage.
They are pretty good but the soles started to fall off and a hole got ripped in them immediately, if you could send me a new pair that would be great
I love the first try skate shoe there super grippy and with the extra grippy toes they make Ollie’s much easier for me
Awesome! Thanks for your support!!
