Habitat板鞋

Habitat也出板鞋了，这款黑色的叫Ibex，下面的灰色款式是Basin Hiker，都将在2010年春季发布，这是继ZooYork和Element之后，第三家滑板公司出的同名板鞋产品。不过ZooYork和Element都是在被Echo和Billabong公司收购后才推出鞋类产品的，Habitat的板鞋背后又是什么故事呢，继续关注中。

Habitat has some interesting new footwear coming out for Spring 2010 and have just dropped a preview of the Ibex. A nice low-profile mid, seen here in all black, the Ibex has a premium PU footbed riding on a recycled natural gum vulcanized outsole and of course put together with eco-friendly water-based glues. With midweight tongue and collar padding, this should be a good shoe for mellow springtime cruising. Look for these to ship to Habitat dealers in February of next year.

Next up from Habitat’s Spring 2010 footwear line is the Basin Hiker. Equal parts trail hiker and travel shoe, ease of portage was top priority when designing the Basin. Featuring minimal construction and lining materials as well as lightweight cork and phylon in the footbeds, this kick is great for inclement weather or touring days on the road when you want to get out of your sneaker but don’t want to lug around a crazy heavy hiking boot. The Basin hits stores in February.
