Miller, 29, redesigned the brands Classic Slip-On LX and a Sk8-Hi LX. She added a seventies airbrush retro depiction of one of her favorite bluffs on the Santa Cruz shoreline.
These kicks are very very cute and do expect to see me wearing them when the hit stores!

| "a term derived from skateboarding culture. usually used to describe someone unkempt and sometimes dirty in appearance. will have facial hair more times than not along with tighter jeans." Please see Bones Wheels rider Adam Dyet for your perfect example of "Hesh" Example  "Holy shit! Did you see that dude's beard? That is one heshy mother fucker!" "That dude has never washed his clothes and has maybe showered once or twice in his entire life. He is hesh as a bitch." Another meaning...
"In the skating world; hesh is the style that says you don't give a fuck. Except, now that's it's been labled, no one is really hesh. You dig? The dudes with the tighter pants, smaller shirts, mesh back hats, and high top shoes...are generally hesh...but shit, if you say you're hesh, then you're not really hesh! You're not supposed to care, dumbass." That is funny. More about what Thrasher Mag thinks is Hesh- | ||||
