Ipath
Started in 1988 by Matt Field, Ipath Shoes are more than just a product and the people who buy and wear them are more than just customers. When Matt sat down to create a shoe it came from his frustration with existing shoes and how they failed to deliver both style and comfort to avid skateboarders. That’s right – skateboarders. Matt Field was one of what has turned out to be a rather large group of young men and women who cherish their sport. They live it completely – right down to their shoes. Ipath, which means “follow your path” is now synonymous with the skate boarding phenomena that has spread rapidly around the world. And for any serious skateboarding enthusiast the only shoe that is considered proper to wear is the Ipath lineTime has changed the concept little since its inception as the ever growing family of Ipath wearing skateboarders has weighed in with their wants and desires for future footwear products. With names like grasshopper, mesa and yogi and other shoes named after the skateboarding “celebrities” who brandish them you start to get the idea that Ipath shoes are different from the rest. How many companies can you name that have created several styles of footwear in their line made out of hemp? Ipath may be the only one.
# THE IPATH FOOTWEAR MOVEMENT WAS FIRST ESTABLISHED IN 1998 WITH A VISION TO OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE PATH TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN SKATE FOOTWEAR.IT WAS THE IDEA OF PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARDER MATT FIELD. MATT ORIGINALLY WANTED A SKATE SHOE THAT WAS FASHIONABLE, YET SIMPLE. IN ADDITION, HE WANTED HIS SHOES TO BE GOOD FOR SKATEBOARDING PERFORMANCE. MATT COMBINED THESE IDEAS WITH HIS POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND THUS "I-PATH" - MEANING "FOLLOW YOUR PATH" - WAS DEVELOPED. # IPATH HAS SLOWLY EVOLVED SINCE THEN, BUT THEY HAVE HELD TRUE TO THEIR ROOTS. AS THEY EVOLVE, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A FURTHER COMMITMENT FROM MATT FIELD AND THEIR ENTIRE TEAM TO CONSISTENTLY OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT IS OUT THERE, A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS, AND A PRODUCT THAT MANY CAN IDENTIFY WITH. # “FOLLOW YOUR PATH”
