Skateboarders are sneakerheads, but not in they way that you might think. Most of them require the latest and greatest footwear to earn their living and to keep their feet protected from the rigors of skating. This past weekend, the Street League Skateboarding Pro Open took place in Los Angeles, and we took the time to sit down with a few of the riders to talk sneakers. From big ticket names like Paul Rodriguez to Shane O'Neil, learn a bit more about their style and how quick they trash a pair of kicks on the course. You can catch these skaters and more when they hit the SLS tour circuit this summer. See what skateboarding's headliners had to say about kicks by checking out 10 Pro Skaters Weigh In On Their Sneaker Habits.
