?It was so cool to go to Nike?s headquarters and see where everything happens.
I like that Nike is making skate shoes but they need to check that performance comes first.
I don?t want a thin skate shoe?
said Chris Verrue, 15 from Truckee, CA.
Upcoming products consist of innovative and classic designs with urban and raw inspirations.
Be sure to keep an eye out for this upcoming line!
