The Story Of HookUps Shoes #shorts

Did you know HookUps skateboards made shoes? The shoes were popular but cost too much for their distributor to produce and ultimately failed. The team consisted of Jeremy Klein & Heath Kirchart. #skateboarding #shorts

Whoever has a pair still left owns a pair of skate history.

This was my favorite skate company when i was a kid. i was into anime like inuyasha and tenchi muyo at the time. I would probably shamelessly drop $200 on a pair of these

[MrJasonodonnell]

Man they sold so well here in New Zealand, the looked funky, had that anime vibe, and were still a legit skate shoe. But most of all they lasted and retained their shape and colour for Years, They sold here for $60 NZD which was Extremely cheap. I gave away my last "and 3rd" pair in grey in about 2003 as they were no longer available.

As a skater in the 80s and 90s im glad someone is sharing with everyone skate history. ZERO 4 LIFE

My skate shoes in 1999. The black ones with the target on the tongue.

They should rerelease the classic designs like Axion did.

I had 2 pairs as a kid. "Red Eyes" and "Devilman 13s"

I just found my old hook up beanie this morning is it worth anything???☺

[anon]

I liked it, I had no idea they sold shoes

[johnj]

I had a white pair of kircharts
I lost one during a family values concert in Biloxi I saw it get thrown in the air a couple times then someone by the stage
Zinged Fred durst then he picked it up and threw it back
I went back the next day to see if I could find it there was a huge pile of shoes but no white hook up 🥲
