What They Say: Nike 6.0 has upped the ante this summer, delivering a double pack of wake-specific shoes. Props to our wake team for spending their days "product testing", helping to develop new amphibious technologies. Two new designs, including one mid, are built with a mesh outer for increased waterflow. Newly added are panels of quick drying Tech-Dry for a more comfortable on/off water transition, also featuring an antimicrobial treatment, which means less chance of a weird smell coming from your kicks."

What We Say: Whatever you may think about the global corporation that is Nike, they sure know how to build a shoe. After a monumental first effort at a wakeskate shoe last year, they have followed it up with an even better, stronger, more stylish and generally comfortable ballet pump for all waterdancers. I've been rocking the new 6.0 Cush all week since ThinkTank and I can't bring myself to wear anything else, they are seriously that comfy. Great for riding in as they're a bit more substantial than last years Air Morgan model, and with less mesh to get shredded on your grip tape, they look set for a much longer lifespan.
