It is still a really good product, but american made would be the shit. Most of their clothing is made in the states though
I'm on the hunt for an American made skate shoe. Maybe I can see what Karl and Praxis are doing......
No such thing anymore. Boycotting foreign goods is dumb though, those homies need the work much more than we do. And if a bunch of people boycotted sweatshop labor it would just mean a lot of people losing their shit jobs.
New Balances wouldn't make skate shoes in USA, they would be too expensive. Their US made sneakers (which are made with foreign materials) are over $100.
Check out these:
