Eric Koston and Justin Williams are both legends in their respective fields. Koston remains one of the biggest names in the world of skateboarding, while Williams is a professional cyclist who has become renowned for his mentoring work with young African and Hispanic riders.

Coming together at the UNDEFEATED store, the pair join forces for Specialized’s latest short-film, to discuss sneaker history, the importance of having the right shoe for the job and the new S-Works Ares.

Koston himself has released a number of shoes alongside Nike and takes us through some of his favourites which include a collaboration alongside the late Kobe Bryant, and his own Jordan 1 Low.

You can watch the full Eric Koston x Justin Williams video above, and take a closer look at the new S-Works Ares here.
