Zappos.com is proud to offer 88 Footwear - Men's Athletic: 88 Footwear is a skateboarding company. 88 was started by people who were tired of other companies marketing to them and using skateboarding to get rich. Lumping skateboarding in with wakeboarding and surfing, tennis and basketball, snowboarding and fashion. 88 says enough with that, this is about skateboarding. All they want is to make quality shoes for you to skate in that dont cost you an arm and a leg. Theyve come a long way and they are still learning, but like they say, if you want something done right do it yourself. 88 thanks you for the support, and encourages you to keep skateboarding pure.
