Surge is a high-performance skateboard shoe engineered for superior performance and durability. The upper combines Cordura fabric, suede, and TPU elements to offer an optimal balance of durability and flexibility. Rubber materials integrated into the upper side panels ensure excellent grip for board control while maintaining the shoe's robustness. The midsole's carbon plate is a key feature, enhancing the athlete's ability to jump higher and move more dynamically.
