Old is Gold but New is diamond...@perfectlydopey took her oldies out for a spin and this is what she had to say “Trying out some speed repeats in between marathons. 🙈 I brought out the old #itens which are still amazing! I love the feeling like my feet aren’t even touching the ground. I can’t wait to try out the new version 😎👟 hope to see them soon!! 🤞🏻”

It took some time to bring the new Itens to life and we’ve been holding our breath for this moment. Here is a video from Ralph chatting about the new Enda Itens:
