The CM001's evolution, incorporating feedback from people who actually skate these things daily.
The CM002 takes everything that worked about the original and addresses the stuff that riders actually complained about, not just theoretical improvements dreamed up in boardrooms. Enhanced impact protection handles bigger drops without turning the shoe into a boot, while maintaining the board connection that technical skating demands. The heel support and ankle padding improvements come from real feedback about what hurts after long sessions, not focus groups. The suede selection resists grip tape better than the original while breaking in more comfortably – no more painful first weeks of wear. Swedish quality control ensures each pair meets the same standards rather than hoping you get a good one. The aesthetic maintains the clean minimalism that defines Last Resort's approach while incorporating subtle updates that keep the shoe feeling current. These aren't revolutionary changes – they're the kind of incremental improvements that matter when you're actually using the product rather than just looking at it. The colorway selection reflects the brand's understanding that most skaters want shoes that work for skating and daily life without maintaining separate footwear for each activity.
