A Million Postcards
Spotlight: Metric
Sat together in a cold dark room in Koln, scratching our heads and feeling inspired by previous classic slim line shoes of all time we set about designing the Metric. Read More
Spotlight: Magnus
The Magnus is made for the real serious BMXer, we don’t mean the stern faced dudes who constantly talk about their sprocket sizes and ponders the weight of their bike more than they actually ride it. We actually mean the guys who put a lot of time and effort into progression and force themselves to learn new tricks or create new lines, the guys we are on about are the guys who live and breath BMX because they are addicted to it.

Spotlight: The 1&9
Jared Washington’s first Almond™ pro model is a simple, super-sleek and effortless shoe. However, don’t be fooled; the 1&9 is built for all the abuse BMXin’ can give. Designed with a casual yet solid style in mind, the 1&9 features a durable upper made from rough canvas and synthetic suede leather. The moulded PU insole with comfortable foot bed cushion is designed to absorb a wide range of impacts and reduce heel bruising which at times can put us out of riding for weeks. Read More
Testing taken seriously
Testing has always been a high priority here at Almond and the methods we used were at times frowned at, but we always said we needed every kind of view and every kind of criticism regarding the construction and durability of our shoes.

Look book One
So the Almond ship has set sail, the blog is up and the shoes are…well, they are coming, seriously. We thought about teasing you some more but, to be honest, we are so excited about this we just couldn’t contain it any more. The industry gets to see this so why shouldn’t you, right? So here it is, phase 1 of our operations. Click here to see the shoes, the soft goods and a few of our riders…this is only the beginning.
You ain’t got sole
Oh it’s all going so fast now, 3 years of testing, thinking, tweaking and more thinking has brought us to this point. We thought we would kick things off with a blog, it’s our way of keeping you guys connected to what we are doing and of course, this will be the first place to check about anything new in the world of Almond Footwear. A full working website with team info and products is on the Almond horizon, but right now we are thinking of this blog as a little warm up to get you used to how we run things.
Tomorrow we will unvail our new team members and over few days we will be able to let you see some of our products. It’s all beginning to take shape now and were all just a little bit excited.
