If Shift is just Fox's street wear, why did they make MX boots?

To my knowledge, they weren't just limited to streetwear. They make plenty of MX & even go kart stuff. But it sort of comes off as a re-branding experiment. Not sure what the figures are, but I guess it just wasn't successful enough to sustain? If fox made street gear, it'd probably look SO dope

edit: Oh jeez, there are so many links on that site to Avenger jackets, lol, but they all are showing small in black/white in stock.

I found more than one link for the jacket, and they are showing size small in both. Hope the colour you are looking for is in one of these two links, but if you can, go to the warehouse to check out the deals :)!

The warehouse is mostly full of motocross and casual clothing, but there are two or three racks of men's jackets, leather and textile. There are also boxes of jackets along the side of the wall next to the racks.

Thanks for trying to help, Orangepeel, but that's the air avenger. I've honestly scoured the internet for it and smalls are hard to come by. But I did end up ordering 100 bucks worth of clothes from that site *facepalm*. I clicked for pick up so I could try on some jackets when I'm there

Also, that sr1 jacket looks awesome, Rodney. I would've gotten it if it didn't have any white on it

Thanks. I was hoping to get them locally since I'm not sure how they fit.

Speaking of that, how do Shift pants fit, are they larger or smaller.

They fit a little weird. I'm a 34' pant all day, and they're slightly small in the waist. I'm a high level hockey player and have fairly large quads, and they fit a little loose in the upper leg. The seat is somewhat baggy, and the the calves are small. I'm also 6'4" and have long legs, so they may fit someone shorter a little differently than me.


All in all, I'm happy with them, and the Vertex jacket I zip them to. The only downside thus far is the longevity of the pucks. Although they offer decent feel at first, they wear quickly and then seem to get hung up while dragging at times. Nothing major though.

As for Shift and Fox... Shift started as Fox's FMX line way back in the late 90's. They offered the gear to compete with LBZ, Skin, etc, when Fox was all about the clean and pristine, corporate, race image. They branched into Karting and Street MUCH MUCH later than their MX line, and simply got out because they didn't have enough support or direction. They straddled the Stunt, Street, and Race genres without ever really staking claim to any of them. Think Dainese (race only), Icon (stunt/ street only). They tried to play with them all and never carved out a niche (although I'm happy with they're gear).

Cheers!
 
Since I was uncertain about how the shift pants would fit I just purchased a Teknic Chicane One-Piece Sui :) This thing breaths like mad, so should be cool when it gets warm. I also have a textile and leather jacket, kevlar jeans, etc.. so I'm covered.

Velocity is running a group buy on some Kevlar jeans shortly. Keep and eye on the vendor/group buy threads.

As an aside, fellas. I know the owner/ operator of AuroraActionSports through a family friend. Word has it, this is the last month they have a lease for that space; meaning this is likely the last sale they'll be having in the warehouse. The other thing is, I'll likely be able to find some stuff if/when he liquidates it all...

Of course, this could all be misinformation as well.
