POPULIST 2015 — Miles Silvas

Miles Silvas’ extra-large ender part in LRG’s 1947 is a masterpiece that still leaves you wanting more. Pure style and the backside noseblunt of all backside noseblunts. In a year that also included two magazine covers, entering BATB, and turning Pro, Miles is also filming for next year’s adidas release, Away Days. It seems as though expectations have never been higher for a new Pro, and for good reason. The quality of his output this year has been miles ahead.
