The Grip
Why is SYS-Grip saving your shoes and still providing the usual grip?
To provide grip, you need friction. The degree of friction is increasing with the roughness of the aligning materials. Standard griptape provides friction through grains of quartz sand. Quartz sand is normally a hard, sharp-edged and pointy material. When such material meets one which is considerably softer, it provides a high degree friction. Perfect for shredding purposes. Unfortunately this friction causes a high degree of abrasion at the same time. The friction caused by interlocking grains with the material of your shoes tears apart parts of your shoe every time you do a trick. And sooner than later you will have the first holes and fuzzy laces.
How is SYS-Grip different?
Sys don’t use grains of quartz sand, but synthetic fiber. This fiber is cut into tiny blocks applied vertically to the griptape. The single fibers are not much bigger than a grain of sand, but a lot thinner. The vertically applied fibers cause the same friction like quartz sand.
And now to the important part:
Unlike quartz sand Sys fibers are considerably softer, that’s why we need 100 times more fibers on a griptape than grains of sand on a standard grip. That means that the fibers don’t rip up your shoes, but the shoe slowly destroys the fibers. This way a high degree of friction is provided, but your shoes will last significantly longer.

Try before you deny
So to be honest, i was skeptical about the product. Actually about most skateboard related innovations. But as an engineer, i had to prove my self wrong before proving myself right.
I've done a small test with the grip of 2 full time evenings at our dusty local indoor skatepark. My conclusion of those 2 evenings are as follows:
Same grippy feel to me. Though I do not do flip tricks. Mostly fs 360's and blunts, those kinda tricks. The feel and look are the only things that sort of throw you off. It feels a tiny bit dampened and looks like really dark carpet color wise. The grip didn't peel up for me while I gripped it like a normal grip. Just a fresh razor and sand down the edge of the grip.
My buddy's wanted to try it to. 2 of them found it a bit more slick that what they are used to. Not annoying, just a tad. Also the deep dark black color was mentioned.
Shoe wise, no scuf marks and no marks on the sole of the shoe.
Hope this helps.
