Josh Kalis has always been the consummate professional, making him a firm favourite with Slam City Skates staff and riders alike. Often discussed is how he has maintained a high level throughout his career, never dropping a weak part and delivering some of the most memorable ones year after year. We were really excited when the wheels began turning and the idea for a DC Josh Kalis collaboration began becoming a reality…
With the shoe release imminent we fired Josh over a bunch of questions and were really pleased with what came back. His attitude towards skateboarding after many years in the game is both positive and inspirational and comes across in what he has said…
His decision to work with us on this project is something we’re very proud of and we hope you are as stoked as he is on the end result We’d like to thank DC shoes for this opportunity and Josh Kalis for his support and kind words from across the pond. Keep on doing what you do, we hope that a London visit is on the cards.
