What kind of pocket does a Muska shoe have?
Shortly after Muska’s shoe came out, Osiris dropped a Tyrone Olson model with its own stash. Muska also pushed the concept further, releasing a signature Shorty’s bag with a pocket designed for a 40-ounce bottle of beer. “At that time, we were trying to overdesign anything,” he says.
What was the purpose of the skate shoe pocket?
“It was definitely a place to stash weed in,” says Muska, who was known for his prodigious consumption of marijuana. “That was kind of the main goal.”
Why did Muska walk away from his skate shoe brand?
Thanks to the momentum events like the X Games generated, skateboarding was thriving, and skateshops could easily move $100-plus sneakers and overpriced backpacks. Despite the success of his shoe, or perhaps because of it, Muska walked away from éS.
How did the skate shoe stash come about?
At one point, its toe was meant to be a rubberized nod to the Superstar. It was also slated to have a visible airbag, but Muska says the concept was nixed over of an issue with the shoe’s midsole. The stash was Muska’s idea, Boistel says, though he and the skater offer conflicting accounts of its development.
