Last year, skate shoes were all about big, bold logos. This year, while the logo still remains an important part of any cool pair of skate shoes, the logos are shrinking and making room for a bit more style. These shoes by Adio feature a fabulous color palette, cool design and an overall funky look.

Circa's "quality vulcanized construction" makes these cool-as-can-be skater shoes stylish and durable. This particular pair of Circas feature a combination lace-up and hook-and-loop closure that provides excellent ankle support for when he's out skating or playing. Oh, and they look totally rad too.
