New ToVo brand of footwear for skateboarders
Fele Holding Corporation, maker of the world’s first GPS
shoe, has launched its new ToVo brand of footwear for skateboarders.
The first ToVo product on the market is 3rd Rail,
featuring an exchangeable tongue, which allows the wearer to mix and match
colours. The shoe’s foam-padded collar offers enhanced cushioning at the ankle,
while the polyurethane midsole and heel airbag unit give the wearer additional
support upon impact, especially when carrying out skateboarding tricks.
The range was designed by Isaac Daniel, CEO of the
Miami-based company. He said: "My son is a skater and his feet and ankles
get pretty banged up all the time, so I decided to create a shoe that would
protect the boarder's feet from all the abuse of die-hard skateboarding.
"I also wanted to give skaters an opportunity to
showcase their individuality and style with the alternate tongue colours."
