Durability
Joseph and our team wanted to create a long-lasting skate shoe.
That's why we made the toe box (front part of the shoe) from Rublast rubber, a technology developed for futsal shoes (the Barrio model).
The dual lacing system protects the laces from rubbing against the deck's grip.Protecting areas that may rub with repair glue such as SHOE GOO II will make your shoes last considerably longer.
Cushioning
To say that Joseph enjoys jumps is an understatement!
If you want to skate for a long time, it's essential that your shoe has the right cushioning.
The Crush900 Garbaccio is the first Decathlon Skateboarding model to feature an EVA midsole down the length of the shoe. It is thicker at the heel than it is at the toe (boardfeel).
We decided to use the "M Foam" EVA foam created for Kiprun running shoes because it absorbs impacts.
No animal products (vegan)
The Crush900 Garbaccio does not contain any animal products
Shoe stability
Joseph Garbaccio is a powerful and dedicated street skater.
He wanted a very stable shoe that helped him feel confident during his most intense moves.
"Cupsole" design
That's why we added a "shank" underneath the arch. It is a rigid X-shaped piece of plastic that stabilizes the shoe during hard landings. The shank is also useful for landing "primo" (landing on the side of the board can be very painful).
What is a cupsole shoe?
This shoe has a "cupsole", meaning that it has been moulded and glued directly to the upper. Unlike vulcanised soles, cupsoles are not baked, which means we can use more technical components and materials.
A cupsole shoe generally provides greater support and stability than a vulcanised shoe. Cupsoles are also usually lighter and more durable.
The Crush900 Garbaccio is equipped with a rubber outsole and "M Foam" EVA midsole
How to make your skate shoes last longer with repair glue
To extend the life of your skate shoes, we recommend using a shoe repair glue such as SHOE GOO II.The parts that may wear easily like the OLLIES and FLIPS on the upper part of the shoe can be protected before use or repaired easily.The glue creates a protective layer against abrasion from the grip.In this way, your skate shoes will last much longer, until the sole is worn.
