I’m finally back with Product Manager, Noah, after the COVID-19 quarantine, COMUNITYmade has returned to their shop, but not without a variety of complications and unfortunate issues. The store was broken into during the quarantine and some employees actually contracted the virus. Everyone has recovered and since returning to the store they’ve launched a custom Traction Golf with No.33 in two new colors, but I’m obviously excited that my pair is finally done!!!!
We changed the design with Noah to a Vibram boot outsole because the fall is coming soon and I wanted something that would look a bit more rugged, but also refined since the materials are elevated with hemp and suede. Here is the breakdown for this video:
