Grasshopper.
Big ollies and nollies are usual tricks for Matt, but a frontside crooked grind is something you don't see very often.
I suppose the Grasshopper is one of Ipath's iconic designs. I like how the shoes look, but I can't wear high or mid tops. In thinking about it, I don't believe I've ever seen a pair of Ipaths in the wild, which doesn't seem possible given how long the brand was around for. I probably have and don't remember.

I saw lots of Grasshoppers and the Matt Rodriguez pro shoe, but I cannot remember the name of it. I just know it looked like a Clark's Wallabee. Tons of those in khaki or black. And the Kenny Reed hi-tops were popular, too.

I've probably seen some, too. It's been a while since Ipath went out of business.
