Tony Hawk loves wearing these shoes while skateboarding – reveals why

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk is one of the most experienced skateboarders in the world. Nicknamed the “Birdman”, he is a pioneer of modern vertical skateboarding.

Tony Hawk is also the founder of the “Birdhouse” skateboard company. A sports legend, Hawk is the first skateboarder to pull off a “900” trick, which he remembers having been the happiest day of his life.

Recently Tony Hawk answered some of the most frequently asked questions on Google about him. Notably, he revealed his favorite shoes in one of his answers.

What are Hawk’s favorite shoes?

In a fun way, Hawk answered some of the most frequently asked questions on Google about him. These included questions such as: Can Tony Hawk still do a 900? Can he skate in the street? Can he kickflip? and much more.

One of the questions was about his favorite shoes and what he likes to wear on a skateboard. Responding to the same, Hawk revealed, “When I skate I wear old school Vans tops like I did in 1984.”

However, when he’s not on the go, he likes to keep it cool and simple. “But if I relax, I wear slip ons, like Spicoli ”, Hawk added.

Can Hawk still do a 900?

Outrageous but true, it seems many doubt Hawk can still make a 900 on the board. Unsurprisingly, the answer is yes, of course Hawk can still pull off the trick he’s mastered.

“In fact, I still skate a lot. I would say three or four times a week, especially since COVID and no travel ”, said Falcon.

Even though Hawk did what he claims to be his last 900 in 2016, he’s still pretty good at it. Due to the pandemic, he had the chance to stay more at home and practice his skills and tricks. Not only that, but it turns out Hawk can even skate down the street.
