Nyjah Huston’s latest shoe defies convention.

Yesterday Nyjah Huston– the best street league skater in the world- released his latest skate shoe yesterday, & trust me when I tell you, they’re definitely not a pair you want to overlook.

While the DC Shoes skater was busy winning gold medals at this year’s Monster Energy Men’s Skateboard Street final, he was also gearing up for the release of the Nyjah Vulc. If you couldn’t tell by the name, the street-savvy kicks have a vulcanized sole, which Huston told Complex “allows for better board feel, & it is more of a low impact skating shoe.” Here’s what Nyah told The Source:

“The technology and durability of the Nyjah Vulc is perfect for the type of high impact skating I do,” says Nyjah.  “It’s comfortable, offers great protection and looks good to wear every day, which is exactly what I look for in a shoe.”

I was able to get my hands on a pair, & upon first glance of the Red pair (there are eight different colorways in total), I had wished I wore a sample size (I’m a tad jealous of people who wear a size 9). The textured suede upper near the sneaker’s heel & lining give them a cool, unique look, while the black mesh lining makes them super comfortable. Available in Black/White, Dark Shadow, Wheat, Vapor Blue, Red, Grey, Estate Blue & Black, you can make your pick & cop them over at the DC Shoes website for $75 bucks. Take a look at them below:
