The swoosh has brought their popular Free technology to skateboarding, allowing skaters the lightweight flexibility to do a frontside noseblunt without the hindrance of heavy skate shoes. To demonstrate these new kicks, we built a whiteout set for pro skaters Sean Malto and Shane O’Neill to have their way with, and they did not disappoint. We captured every ollie and kickflip in glorious slow motion, then our CG crew in New York highlighted every stitch of the new shoes in stunning detail.
