Durability
With Joseph, we want to offer a shoe that will stand the test of time.
That's why we've chosen to make the upper (front part of the shoe) from RUBLAST rubber, a technology developed for a futsal shoe (BARRIO model).
The double lacing system protects the laces from rubbing against the board's grip.
Protecting rubbing areas with SHOE GOO II repair glue will considerably extend the life of your shoes.
Amortization
Joseph jumps, to say the least!
To be able to skate longer, it's essential to have the right cushioning.
The CRUSH900 GARBACCIO is the first Decathlon Skateboarding model to feature a full-length E.V.A. midsole. Thicker at the heel and thinner at the front (boardfeel).
We have selected the "M FOAM" EVA foam developed for running shoes KIPRUN for its shock-absorbing properties.
Animal-free (vegan)
CRUSH900 GARBACCIO contains no ingredients of animal origin.
Shoe stability
Joseph Garbaccio is a powerful and committed street skater.
He wanted a very stable shoe to feel confident on the most committed spots.
"Cupsole" structure
This is why we added a "shank" under the arch of the foot. This is a stiffer, X-shaped piece of plastic that stabilizes the shoe on big landings. It's also useful for protecting "primo" landings (landing on the edge of the board can be very painful).
What is a CUPSOLE shoe?
A CUPSOLE is a molded sole glued directly to the upper. Unlike vulcanized soles, they do not go through an oven, which means that more technical components and materials can be used.
A cupsole shoe generally provides more support and stability than a vulcanized shoe. The cupsole will also often be lighter and more solid.
The CRUSH900 GARBACCIO features a rubber outsole, an EVA "M FOAM" midsole and a vulcanized sole.
How to extend the life of your skate shoes with repair glue
To prolong the life of your skate shoes, we recommend using a SHOE GOO II type shoe repair glue.
Areas subject to wear, such as the OLLIES and FLIPS zones on the upper part of the shoe, can be protected before use or easily repaired. The glue will create a protective layer against grip abrasion. This way, your skate shoes can last much longer, until the sole wears out.
