What wheels does Na-Kel Smith ride?

What shoes does Na-Kel Smith skate in?
Na-Kel Smith skates in Adidas. Skate shoes are built with reinforced toe caps, vulcanized or cupsole construction, and grippy gum rubber outsoles for board feel and durability. Pros often go through several pairs a month from heavy daily skating.
What bearings does Na-Kel Smith use?
Na-Kel Smith uses Cortina Bearing Co. 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.
