Ok, lets dig into our history book a little. In 2004 we connected with Speedwell Footwear to come up with some footwear for DriftUnit, our drift team. Drifting wasnt so serious here in the states but it was definitely gaining some steam in the Pro Series with the inaugural Formula Drift event in 2004. We were just regular dudes that loved what we did and together with Speedwell, we came out with footwear for everyday use and then some special racing shoes just for the team which released in 2005. Those were the days.

I had them on in 08 as seen in this picture. They don’t feel as good in on my prosthetics :D, Real feet > Fake feet
Awesome blast from the past…brings back some great memories. Speedwell was a fun time for sure and 6 years later we’re still doing it. I had a secret stash of kicks in my size that I stored at my Mom’s house, but of course someone snagged them 🙁
Dude, I still have my pair. Totally forgot I had them, there in my closet somewhere!
