Description
Founded in 2010, Fairdale Bikes is the brainchild of World Champion BMXer and professional illustrator, Taj Mihelich. After many years as a pro rider, Taj partnered up with long time sponsor Odyssey BMX to create bikes that are approachable and fun for you to ride—bikes that will help you experience the magic of riding. Just like when you were first starting out.
Coming together for a collection inspired by this very magic, the Fairdale BMX Old Skool blends playful details from Taj’s renowned, cycling-inspired artwork with a BMX-specific construction that has been formulated for modern riding. Featuring durable 10 oz canvas uppers with flocked accents that simulate giraffe fur, this low-top BMX shoe will bring a little more youthful joy to your riding, regardless of whether you’re taking a relaxing cruise around the neighborhood or pushing the boundaries of your own progression.
