The Forty-Four Hi model name references the number of the meridian line that connects both the east and west coast of the United States. It was designed as an innovative cupsole with a slimmer profile and high end style and performance. To add to the drama, we invited 2 brands from each coast to design customized versions of the style for a battle of US national design supremacy. You be the judge! The West Coast includes a co-branded design with red hot streetwear brand Crooks & Castle, as well as mystery shop guest design. The East Coast brings the heat with a co-branded design from NYC’s infamous skate crew 5BORO. Add to the drama a European color from Danny Wainwright to challenge for the global title.
