Barge Plus X Julian Lewis

The washed canvas and muted colorway look way better in person than on screen, and the vulcanized sole grips skate grip tape nicely. Broke them in over a weekend and they already feel like an old pair.

Wore these straight out of the box for a full day and the vulcanized sole broke in way faster than I expected, no blisters at all. The canvas has this slightly heavier feel that makes me think they'll actually last through a summer of skating.

The colorway is what sold me, honestly — that handmade clothing-brand influence really shows in the little details. Board feel through the vulcanized sole is exactly what I wanted for cruising around town.
