Before they were discovered by the Def Squad’s Erick Sermon and became of hip hop fashion staple, Lugz boots had a reputation for quality construction, strength and durability that made them a favorite with construction crews, DOT workers, hunters and men who regularly got down and dirty on the job. The Green Eyed Bandit may have put the spotlight on Lugz, moving them into the foot fashion mainstream, but it’s Lugz’ unique mix of practical durability, exceptional comfort and aggressive styling that has kept them on the shoe fashion front lines.

If you gave birth to an ‘El Destructo’ like my nephew, I highly recommend Lugz athletic shoes and boots. This kid churns through shoes like a one-man demolition squad. Buy this kid a new pair of athletic shoes and they’re in tatters before the week is out. My sister can’t figure out how he does it. We suspect he brakes his bike with his toes and uses his heel as a skateboard pivot, but how does he shred the sides? Kickboxing concrete?

In frustration, sis borrowed a tip from her highway-building uncle and his buddies on the DOT crew and bought the kid a pair of Lugz. So far, so good. It’s week three and not a rip or tear. And my nephew’s stature with his buds has skyrocketed. Everyone in his crew wants Zrocs Dyse Lugz like his.
