Wita footwear is a really new Italian skateboard shoe company. The footwear company is formed by 2 italian skaters from Milan with 20 years of experience. To know more about this company I have asked them a few questions about this project. Enjoy reading the interview below ;) Tell us a bit about how this adventure was born…How did the idea of starting this company come about? explain what inspired you to start this company. Is a project that was born by two Italian skaters precisely in Milan, the idea started in early 2012. We wanted to create a shoe that would combine good quality with a retail price lower than other brands. At this time if we look at the construction of the new skateboard shoes, we realize that all look alike and people do not know that many times are the same models but with different brand names. So based on this, and especially also the crisis of our country we wanted to produce this shoe. Why is it called Wita? Wita, is an acronym for Viva Italy. This is an exclamation that is used in our country that means is that things are going well or things go wrong. So we decided to use it! At the moment you have only one model for sale ,isn’t it? Yes, at this time we only have one model and one color available, but we soon realize another model and increase the range of colors.
