Duffs recently brought out Jimmy Levan’s signature shoe, The Forge, and they were kind enough to send us a set to check out. It’s not very often I get excited to see footwear but with these being Jimmy’s first signature shoes I couldn’t wait to see them. At first glimpse you can tell the quality is high and that Jimmy has had his input on the design. The Forge features a removable insole with gel and arch support, a vulk style outsole with a cupped sole, the Metal Bikes ace of spades in a few places and it comes in a choice of three colours. They are comfortable and feel pretty slim and light too. Here are a few specs:
UPPER: Suede on distressed leather or suede on perforated action leather • Gold or silver metalic zebra print • Shown to have nearly 10 times more abrasion resistance than socks alone! • Designed in conjunction with Jimmy Levan (in between comas)
INSOLE: Compression moulded EVA • Arch supports • Bone Saver Technology for extra squishy landings • Zebra print sock liner
OUTSOLE: DuFFS vulk cup sole • Super sticky and grippy 60 durometer 400NBS gum rubber sole • Stroble construction for improved fit and flexibility
