ENNUI City Sam Crofts Wristguard

ENNUI City Sam Crofts Wristguard. Ennui is proud to present the first release in a new series of pro product collaborations, the ENNUI City Sam Crofts Wristguard. Using the classic City Brace silhouette, Sam modified the design to suit his own street and bowl skating style…

“I’ve been using the standard style Ennui City braces for about 10 years now, having been plagued with long-term and repeated wrist injuries. It’s easily the best wrist protection on the market, which has allowed me to continue skating the way I want, whilst safely protecting my wrists and preventing any further injuries. I fully stand behind the proven results of this product.

We tested a large variety of samples when working on the design of my pro version, and I’m very happy with the final product, the ENNUI City Sam Crofts Wristguard. I first removed the corset-style lacing closure and replaced it with an extra-thick and sturdy single strap to prevent the laces from tearing on rough street spots. This oversized single strap threads through an extra reinforced metal hoop for a simple and effective closure, inspired by the popular late 90’s style guards.

For extra support, I slightly increased the length of the brace, and for hygiene, I made the interior padding removable and machine washable. The entire brace is constructed in a real full-grain nubuck suede for maximum durability on abrasion, but also very importantly for increased palm grip when trying to catch yourself on a rail to save yourself or correct your balance on a fall. The unique colorway follows the classic construction/workwear-inspired aesthetic of my current pro USD Aeon.”
