That’s why it teamed up with brand UXA to create the Ryan Smith 2.0S “Big Apple.” The “Big Apple” features a red/green/black colorway on an all-suede upper to add some style to the skate shoe.

    super funny that folks are JUST NOW realizing these are half cabs
    this DC model has been available for over a year

    and yeah… this colorway is… not apple like, more like a weird watermelon
