But don't let that fool you, they do make a great looking shoe. 88 Footwear skate team members have included skaters Neil Blender, Corey Duffel, Don Nguyen, and Peter Hewitt. They let the riders influence the concept and then design the shoes around that. Consequently, the line is known for it's contribution to skateboarding excellence.
