Originally launched in the spring of 2002, the Omega became an instant classic with it's high tech features and undeniable performance. A sturdy cupsole construction with STI Energy™ Foam provides unparalleled impact protection, and the durable upper and outsole materials make it a tank of a shoe. Padding on the tongue and collar make the shoe very comfy and protect your feet from the flinging board. Lycra tongue straps keep the shoe secure and lace guards will prevent you from breaking a lace. So lace up a pair and go skate like Koston in 2003.
