The **Tougher Than Leather** skateboard by [Greece is For Lovers](http://www.greeceisforlovers.com/products/tougher-than-leather/index.html)fuses the modern sport and lifestyle of skateboarding with the ancient style of Greek handmade sandals.

You can not get any more *old school* than ancient Greece!
