In a partnership with legendary skateboarder and entrepreneur, Tony Hawk, the Hot Wheels brand continues to grow and expand with its introduction into the fingerboard space, bringing unique products to new fans while also creating an inclusive line for a variety of experience levels.  Like skateboarding, finger boarding takes practice to build up the skills to ollie, kickflip, grind and more. Hot Wheels Skate is on a mission to make finger boarding more accessible and inviting to everyone from groms (beginners) to experts of all ages with no rules or limits.

Alright, so what’s the catch? Well, it’s tiny shoes for your fingers! Honestly, it’s quite hilarious and kind of InGenius all at the same time!
