There’s a new sneaker and aparel brand for BMXers called Skilldash and they have a dope new sneaker called Sofia! I like the look of the Sofia and it has some cool features like its premium, wear resistant materials used on the upper and BMX specific sole design. What I really like is how Skilldash went into great detail about the shoe construction and the story behind the name of the kicks. It’s those details that sets the Sofia apart from a lot of other shoes on the market.
Named after the city where SKILLDASH was born, SOFIA represents a vibrant BMX community defying expectations. Designed by riders and crafted in Portugal with premium Spanish synthetic suede, it delivers everything you’d expect from a high-performance European BMX shoe. But this shoe means more than a list of features. SOFIA stands for what BMX culture is beyond riding: pushing forward, connecting with like-minded people, and expressing one’s own creativity. On and off the bike. SOFIA is a commitment to BMX culture. ~ SkillDash
