It's finally here folks. After a few months of teasers which left many scratching their heads, trying to figure out what this was - well here it is. Fitted's first ever shoe, which we've properly titled Kaholo, which means to move fast or progress rapidly which pretty much defines this shoe. In collaboration with Element Skateboards, we designed this shoe from the ground up. Literally. This specific model is Element's team pro rider Darrell Stanton's; his second model to be precise. The way this project came about? There's a deep rooted history between Fitted and Element.
The details of the shoe are as follows: Sublimated nylon canvas print which features vintage Hawaiian pin up girls from way back when, a relic of our past - here to stay in the future. The tongue features a perfect Fitted crest hit, bottom sees a white vulcanized sole and embossed leather heel with a subtle trilock pattern, plus we took extra care in the design of the box, which features a nice, black print of trilocks in different contrasted shades of black, with a yellow carrier that slides in and out for easy storage and a metal hole for proper ventilation. Each shoe comes with 3 different pairs of laces: yellow trilock laces, black laces and white laces, each bearing Fitted tips. These are limited to a supply of 60, so please act quickly!
