As gearheads, we are always looking for ways to introduce style into our sport that we can wear with pride everyday. Two companies that have recently teamed up to bring that dream to life is DVS and Mobil 1. Together, they have constructed one bitchin’ set of limited edition shoes that we are looking forward to putting some miles on.
[2]The oil resistant (ironic, huh?) wax laces help tie the full grain leather construction together. Once your foot slides past the perforated polyurethane tongue, your toes will meet the super soft pig skin inner lining and molded EVA footbed. The Mobil 1 branding can be found on the heel, tongue, along with the antiqued metal Mobil 1 quarter badge on the side.
We know what shoes we plan to break in at SEMA next week. Don’t forget to get your custom set soon as these limited edition shoes won’t last!
