Kickin' it old skool.
Airwalk recently relaunched their 80's style skate shoes featuring the famous "Running Man" logo. I am very excited, and am looking forward to a major comeback from the company. Back in 94' when I started skateboarding, Airwalk pretty much had the monopoly when it came to raw skate shoes. I still remember my beige with gum sole pro model Jason Lee's. ( before he became an actor ) That same year they released the ONE Series, and blew up. Now the company is taking it further back, to my Elementary days when it was all about RAD colorful hi - tops.

As the 90's came to and end, Airwalk went in a different direction, and focused on mainstreaming out of the skateboard lifestyle. They signed a contract with Payless, and pretty much lost the support of the scene. Pro skateboarder Andy MacDonald, stayed faithful to the company though the downfall and currently has a sponsorship with them today. Around 01' Airwalk released another brand called "Genetic" to replace the mainstreamed Airwalks. Pat Chanita signed on, and it was looking good. Unfortunately Genetic was short lived..
Looks like the gnarly Mike Vallely, is back repping for the skate scene.
With retro sneakers being all the craze right now, and with a rebuilt - solid skate team, Airwalk can't fail.
Below are some of the old school styles that are currently available on the Airwalk website. http://www.airwalk.com
