Designed by Sam Hill, these customs are made for riders who live to pin it - speed freaks only need apply. Pulling influences from the fashion and skate world, Sam wanted a shoe with serious bling so we added plush details like heel and toe snake skin panels plus garment leather collar lining. Introducing the Sam Hill Impact Custom – the first time a senior men’s downhill World Championship has been won on flat pedals. A shoe with World Championship heritage is born.

Bottom Line:
