If You're Ready to Take Walking to the Next Level, You Need the 980 Tatou Shoe

You may have heard of the niche extreme sport that calls itself Parkour, see the opening action sequence of 'Casino Royale' to get a better idea. However, the sport is not widely practiced, and very few products exist for it, which makes the 980 Tatou shoe by Annika Lüber so special. Looking like just a sporty moccasin, this sneaker, I assure you, is much more than that.

Crafted with a super thick outer sole, the 980 Tatou shoe is about 10 times tougher than your average sneaker. You need all of that extra protection when you're jumping off rooftops and scaling apartment buildings everyday.
