Not sure I can buy these or support a brand called Snot, as someone who has had many friends suffer really bad colds.
So offended Fos 
Well played sir.
Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, I'm excited to say that the first batch of wheels arrived on Monday, I ordered them last September! Covid and other factors led to a lot of production delays, but I'm stoked to get these out to all the stores.
Not that you asked but there were a couple of factors that led to Snot Wheels being created.
I was trying to get Dead Dave on another brand and the TM never even bothered getting back to me, so I was like "Maybe I should start my own little Wheel thing and Dead Dave would be a great first rider". Having lots of time sitting around the house during the pandemic helped too, so it started to take shape from that a bit. I never wanted it to be just basically "Heroin Wheels" we already make those, the idea was that it's gotta be a bit broader than that. A lot of the inspiration for the feel of it all is wheels that I grew up riding, like they seemed fun, SMA Gizmo's, Alva Speedskins, Epic Brains, I had some great Bones Street Rats in 89, and then survived the whole 39mm wheel faze. Spitfires 95-98 was my favorite era of the brand, the art was so random and funny. So many good wheel brands that came and went too, I'm kind of doing the art as a bit of an ode to all those old wheels from those eras.
So that why I looked at Snelling who rides for Blast and I've known for years and he was down too.
We have four other riders lined up, I plan on announcing them with future wheel drops, hard to say exactly those will be because of production delays, but none of the next four to be announced ride for Heroin.
Also, had lots of folks asking where they could buy em online, I wanted to get the wheels to the stores before I even considered doing any kind of direct to consumer thing. I don't think it's fair to ask stores to buy your wheels and then sell em all directly before they've even got them in. Another reason for starting Snot was to be able to work a bit closer with the stores. Baker Boys do an amazing job with Heroin, I get to just do the artwork and team stuff for it, but I get asked a lot "What stores do you have in Idaho" or something and I have no idea, cos it's all the sales dudes at Baker who handle that stuff. So with Snot, I'll be able to point you in the right direction, cos I packed and shipped every box myself out of my house. It's a pretty small batch kind of thing to start. As you've seen we just had 7 assorted styles and I was hoping that there's a bit of something for everyone in there. Next drop there's 10 styles, so I'm just trying to keep it all interesting.
Sorry for the rant, hope this answers some questions that you may have had. Thanks for the kind words too.
