What shoes does Frank Gerwer skate in?

What bearings does Frank Gerwer use?
Frank Gerwer uses Bronson bearings. Bearings determine roll speed and how long your wheels keep spinning, and a properly maintained set should last as long as your wheels with regular cleaning. Pros usually upgrade bearings before swapping wheels.
