Some Info on getting your paws on those RAD x CFSBK Shoes

A lot of folks have asked us about different ways they can get some RAD x CFSBK shoes. Here’s the deal.

1. Come to the event on Saturday! They’ve got a few hundred shoes for sale as well as some awesome CFSBK/RAD long and short sleeve shirts! First come first serve. Shoes will be available from 8am until around 2pm. We are not doing preorders for this event and they must be purchased from RAD directly on Saturday, not through CFSBK.
2. The shoes will go on sale on RADs website on Thursday 10/13 at 11am. Expect them all to sell out in under a minute so if you want them keep refreshing around 11am and you’re advised to create an account in advance as well as save your billing and shipping address. If you have apple-pay you can also use that to check out faster.
3. Once the stock is gone, they’re GONE! This is a limited run collab so good luck!!
