Tony Hawk Does 100 BLUNTS In His Lakai Proto Shoe
When CCS texted Tony Hawk about doing 100 of a trick in his Lakai shoe, on VERT, he made sure to let them know that meant he had to hit almost 200 walls of his ramp in one session. Not skating vert, we didn’t really know what this meant. Apparently it’s like running a marathon just to hit 12 walls in one run, so it was a tall order. Thankfully, Tony is as pro as he was at 14 and banged them out for us with a smile! We couldn’t be more stoked to see the legend in one of CCS’s wear tests! See how his shoe held up and grab a pair at CCS.com today!

Skateboarding In Socks: The Lost Stance Wear Test – CCS
“A couple years ago we had the terrible idea to put our entire warehouse in some Stance socks and see how a session on our slippery ass floor would go. The footage got lost in someone’s hard drive, and recently we stumbled upon all of it! Luckily no one died, and to be honest the socks held up pretty well. We don’t recommend skating with out shoes, however if you have too, Stance would be a good choice. It would also be a good choice to just buy some to wear in your shoes.” – CCS
