Demon 2011

I'm currently in Singapore visiting family and friends for the hols. Crazy to think that it has been 3 years since I left. Spore is still a bustling little garden city and having seen Seoul, KL, and cities around the US, I've got to say Spore is really quite the clean and lush city it has been touted to be. Respect! More on our trip later cos I would like to present to you the new Demon for 2011.



The 2011 model retains its aggressive down-turned profile but apart from that, everything's NEW!!! The recent Mad lineup of shoes were designed in collaboration with Dai Koyamada. The end product sees a new heel, dual density sole and most radical of all....the Power Flex uppers. Basically, the Mad homies are not using fabric for the uppers. They have invented this flexible, sticky, moldable rubber that can be sewn directly to the rest of the shoe. So basically this eliminates the searing pain most of us feel when we downsize our shoes. The Power Flex uppers amazingly flexes and molds over the knuckles providing comfort and sick toe hooking ability. Honestly, I don't think I'm doing a great job describing it, so don't just take my word for it...try it & I guarantee you wouldn't be disappointed.

I'm expecting my first pair of 2011 Demon to arrive in the mail soon. I'll give more scoops and updates once I get some mileage on them. Stay tuned and thanks for reading. Have a great 2011!!!

Proud of y'all!!!

Here's wishing everyone a crushing good time at tomorrow's Crux'mas comp and the Regionals!!!
