Introducing SKILLDASH SOFIA. A new bmx shoe.
Originating from a local community that defies expectations, SOFIA stands for what bmx culture is beyond riding: pushing forward, connecting with like-minded people, and expressing one’s own creativity.
SOFIA is a commitment to bmx culture.
Designed by riders. Made in Europe.
Now available.

We spent two years designing a BMX sole that grips, protects, and lasts. The Sofia sole. Made in Europe.
We took a worn-out sole from riding to guide us on how to create a BMX-specific sole that holds up, grips and takes impact where it needs to.
We ended up with 4 different hexagon pattern types placed in strategic areas of the sole to balance grip and durability. Some hexagons are more solid for durability, others are more open for extra pedal grip.
The two big hexagons at the toes and the heel are the impact points. There’s more material there to absorb the impact from those heavy landings. They also increase the durability of the whole sole by protecting the rest of the pattern when in contact with the ground.
In simple words, you want your shoe to be more grippy on the pedal and more durable everywhere else, especially around the zones you brake with.
We also chose the cupsole structure because it offers superior impact protection, support, and durability in contrast to the common vulcanised soles. That means your feet stay protected, your shoes last longer, and your ride feels more solid.
The result is a sole that grips, protects and can take a beating.
You can get the Sofia Shoes on our site and give them a try yourself.

Behind the scenes of the creation of the @skilldashbmx SOFIA BMX shoe.
The sketches in the first slide are where it all started, and the finished product is where it landed after two years of developing, sampling, testing, and learning.
Building a BMX-specific shoe from scratch for the first time turned out to be a bit more complicated and slower than expected. But fast forward to today, I’m really stoked on the final result. It’s especially rewarding to see the shoes out in the real world, with people riding and living BMX in them.
We talked more in-depth about @skilldashbmx and the SOFIA shoe in an interview I did for @freedombmx . Go check it out if you want to learn more.✌️
