Mark Gonzales is rather multifaceted. One part street skate OG, another part conceptual artist on four wheels, whatever 'The Gonz' does evokes wonder and dropped jaws of ‘he did what!?’ Continuing his long-standing relationship with , he's come through with a masterful rework of the half-century young .
The classic Shelltoe meets via stripe substitution instead of perforations, maintaining adi’s expected clean-AF OG palettes. Furthermore, Gonzales’ cartoon Shmoo makes a guest appearance as nubuck hits on the stark white leather upper. Compared to previous releases that referenced fencing suits and hand-drawn graphics, this one’s a low-key skate shredder.
