Recently, one of the owners of a small, independently owned skateboard wheel company sent over two sets of wheels for me to review, a set of 49's and a set of 54's. Then name of the company is "Better Skateboarding," they can be found online at http://www.betterskateboarding.com.
In the review (consisting of two parts, running close to 20 minutes in total), I test the claims that the wheels they produce are fast and flatspot resistant. I hope you find the reviews informative, but keep in mind that when talking about skateboards and the parts they're comprised of, everything's subjective... different people look for different things in their gear.
Over the past two years, I have rode one set of wheels. The Ricta Supercrystals were the wheels of choice. I don’t know where to begin when I can remember everything I have done with these wheels. You can ride them on anything, and they are really durable and trustworthy. This is the Ricta Supercrystal review.
Well, the DVS Shoe Company has done it again. They always seem to create durable, stylish, and overall great shoes. All of these qualities come with the Munition, a relativly new creating of DVS.
Features of this shoe:
- Bruise control heel padding
- Triple stiched toe cap
- EVA midsole
- Oliie area lace protection
- Flexible rubber cupsole
- Suede and synthetic material
Style/Looks
In my opinion, this is one of the best looking skate shoes out there. The colorway that I have, (Black/Black/White) looks very classy yet stylish and good. It fits ANY style of jean, shorts, or even capris or a skirt. I really can't put into words how much I like the look of this particular shoe. Enough said.
Ok, I got these shoes rather cheap of my friend Jimmy ($25, brand new), but the style I have runs for about $70. I'm sorry that I don't have a camera to show damage, but I'll be discriptive.
Looks: Personally, I love the looks of these. Very plain and simple, yet killer. The plaid insole is pretty nice looking (eventhough no one will see it). The tongue isn't puffy at all, yet still is soft and fits great. The shoe also has an innerlacing system, which will completely prevent lace ripping.
