The crew over at Almond have been working hard on some new stuff and they recently sent out a preview of the new Ben Hucke signature shoe, the Belmont. These things look great and the prototypes are already being ridden by Taylor Elvy here in Canada. You can check out the rest of the colourways after the jump and keep checking back to see when they’ll be available.
This has been in the works for a bit but we’re happy to announce the Canadian team for Almond Footwear! Greg Henry, Jaumell Campbell, Corey Dewey, Greg Flag and Taylor Elvy are all rocking Almonds right now and will be shredding in them everywhere they go. Hit up the Almond site to see the post about the team on their blog and to see the team pages. Stoked!
The Almond team (Ben Hucke, Jared Washington and Shane Weston) just finished up a trip through the Texas area filming for their first team edit (and to get loose during SXSW). Check out some photos from their trip here and watch out for the edit, I’m guessing it’ll dope. The Wolf Pack is goin’ worldwide in 2011!
Jibs in Burlington, ON just finished up their dope Almond shoe display. They are fully stocked on Almonds so check them out. If you’re not on Almonds yet, you don’t know what you’re missing… get on ‘em.
In more Almond news, their UK team recently hit up the island of Tenerife just off the coast of Africa for a few days and rode some pretty wild looking spots and had a amazing looking trip. Check out the edit from their trip above and click here to some a slideshow and some interviews with the team.
