As many of you may or may not know, the OG Grasshopper silhouette dates back to 1999, a time when IPATH was making some proper, soulful moves in skateboarding. They’ve always been in a lane of their own—earthy, laid-back, meaningful—and the vibes are all the same these days as they continue to make their comeback.
I can see these things turning some heads on skateshop shoe walls, that’s for sure. They stand out, but at the same time, they aren’t screaming for your attention, you know? Minimal branding. Clean. Built to last.
These things were designed with skateboarders and skateboarding in mind, and that’s really all that matters. Here’s some of the nitty-gritty details:
- Pebble grain leather upper
- Mid-top with support strap
- Cupsole construction
- Strobel lasting for flexibility
- Lace-up closure with metal eyelets.
- Stash pocket in tongue
- Padded tongue and collar
- Ortholite insole for comfort
- EVA foam midsole
- Rubber keychain
