City Wristguard Sam Crofts

Ennui are proud to present the first release in a new series of pro product collaborations, the Ennui City Wristguard Sam Crofts. Using the classic City Brace silhouette, Sam modified the design to meet his own style of street and bowl skating... 

"I've been using the standard style Ennui City braces for about 10 years now, having being plagued with long term and repeated wrist injuries. It's easily the best wrist protection on the market which has allowed me to continue skating the way I want, whilst safely protecting my wrists and preventing any further injures. I fully stand behind the proven results of this product.

We tested a large variety of samples when working on the design of my pro version and I'm very happy with the final product. I first removed the corset style lacing closure and replaced this with an extra thick and sturdy single strap to prevent the laces tearing on rough street spots. This over sized single strap threads through an extra reinforced metal hop for a simple and effective closure, inspired by the popular late 90's style guards. For extra support, I slightly increased the length of the brace and for hygiene I made the interior padding removable and machine washable. The entire brace is constructed in a real full grain nubuck suede for maximum durability on abrasion but also very importantly for increased palm grip when trying to catch yourself on a rail to save yourself or correct your balance on a fall. The unique colorway follows the classic construction/workwear inspired aesthetic of my current pro USD Aeon."
