Dylan Rieder #3.




Dylan dropped a bombshell on the skateboard footwear world with his fancy kicks in 2009. The unusual shoe was followed up with a ridiculously good video part in the summer of 2010. After Gravis folded last year, Dylan took his feet over to Keith Hufnagel's self titled shoe brand.

Gravis was a Burton supported shoe company. It was started in the late 1990s as chilling shoes for snowboarders, or something along those lines. Over the years, things changed and they made a go of the skateboard footwear market. The team included Dylan, Arto Saari, Javier Mendizabel, Sammy Winter, Jake Johnson, and Steve Forstner.

Remember when you knew dude was a skater by his shoes? Is that totally gone today? The only one that makes me think skate these days is lakai maybe

Those shoes look painful to walk in. I can't imagine doing anything involving movement in them.

I think you just have to look for the ollie wear.
