The first thing you notice as you slip Jim Greco’s ‘Hammer’ shoes out of the box is just how damn light they are.
I must admit, although instant comfort surrounded my feet from the toes to my heel, the thought of skating with clouds on my feet wasn’t what I had in mind from a pro who is known for slaying it…until they broke in that is. It didn’t take long either, and the weight of these are truly magnificent. So much so, that other shoes feel heavy in comparison now these have worn out over the last couple of months.
The vulcanized sole married my griptape to perfection, (as any decent skate shoe should) the heel was supportive via their foam cushioning and they look fucking ace. As we all know, suede does not last forever when rubbing against griptape so I suggest that if you are going to buy a pair of these, get two, because they are one of those Supra models that may not be available again in the future and you will be kicking yourself.
With FLAG and Black Flag going at it to seek notoriety out there this year, Almost Skateboards decided to get their own version of Raymond Pettibon’s famous bars onto their own t-shirt this week. Look out for these on your travels.
