Adio Brian Sumner V2

Good grip, good look. Brian Sumner is good and his shoe is too.

The Adio Brian Sumner V.2's were my first pro model skate shoes, so perhaps I'm a bit biased towards them, but they are probably my favorite skate shoes. The toe cap is nice and thin so in addition to protecting your feet and enhancing the durability of the shoes it also allows for a decent flick. The insoles are extremely comfortable, but they require a bit of break-in time since the foam is a bit thicker/more rubbery than a normal insole and it doesn't flatten out very quickly (which is a good thing when it comes to comfort).

Well I never got to pick the Adio Brain Sumer V2 shoes out but they look pretty nice. After a few varials and kickflip they stared tearing pretty easily. The area behind the heel inside the shoe gets worn a little fast and hurts because of the plastic backing behind the foam that was once there. But all skate shoes have their problems and this one evens out with the lace protection and its comfort. Worth getting.
