Everyday wear, elevated materials, cushioning. The Style 44 was enthusiastically adopted by skaters in the '70s who appreciated the legendary durability of its iconic patterned outsole. Due to its unique thickness, the sole lasted longer and its patterned design provided grip for greater board control. The Premium Authentic 44 Shoes reintroduce the heel strip stitch found on the handcrafted archival designs and higher glossed sidewalls. These shoes are crafted from Suede and feature a Blue colour family.
