HUF Quality Footwear present The Cromer

 

Brad Cromer becomes the latest name from HUF's impressive team roster to get his own signature model as the brands footwear department presents 'The Cromer'.

Undoubtedly one of the most exciting skaters of recent times, following on from getting his first pro-board with Krooked, delivered to him by none other than Mark Gonzalez, the time seems right for Cromer to get his own signature shoe. Citing nautical themes as an influence in the shoes design, aesthetically the shoe is kept minimal throughout with little in the way of branding and detailing, with the tongue patch referencing 90's noise bands and 'shoegaze' cover art. The shoe's slim profile doesn't impair the performance of what is ultimately an extremley skate focused shoe in it's construction, with features such as the rubber toe cap giving added durability and improved flick, and the internal heel counter for stability.

For The Cromer's initial release, the shoe arrives in two simplistic colour ways of black, featuring a suede upper and tonal lacing, and a navy option, which features a robust canvas construction on the upper and contrasting white lacing. Both pairs sit on top of a stark white sole unit. Cromer had this to say on the shoe...

"I wanted something like a blank canvas you could work with, a shoe that was very plain and simple, with a rubber toe cap that would last longer and skate better." 

The Cromer will be landing in all good skate stores in the UK shortly, and is available now over at HUF's webstore. For more information on the release, check out the Cromer Zine HERE
