Sal 23 remake... I hope it doesn't suck. Those first shoes were ugly as shit, though.
-
you forgot to mention it's laced with pac sun ads.
-
vans seems to be paving the way for every other shoe company. maybe its always been like that... correct me if im wrong
-
Reynolds Lights look sick. But I tried on some AVEra's and they felt shitty for skating in. So all those avera ripoffs are useless in my eyes.
-
pretty shitty.
they need to hire a new guy to do the shoe naming.
-
straight booty.
-
The Shifter? Did you see that shit? I'm sure Pete Doherty would wear em.

They were designed specifically for the Wild Ride so that they wouldn't have to change their shoes. Not too sure about that one, though...
-
those etnies jamesons arent even a ripoff of the averas, theyre more of an exact replica with a different logo, theres nothing special in there really though
-
how the fuck is eS still in business?
-
ugly ugly and more ugly, congratulations sole tech.
-
i think the prequel used to be an eS shoe, and so now they think itll sell better with an emerica logo on it? wtf?
-
they brought back the Natas and Sal shoes AGAIN?? man, SoleTech must be really hard up for ideas. there isn't a single shoe in the lineup i'm even remotely stoked on. some pretty ugly/boring colorways all around, as well.
-
stoked on rick's shoe.....lee matasi r.i.p....
-
reynolds light look interesting...
-
reynolds light look interesting...
yeah deffinetly seems like an interesting concept.
id like to see them in a different color.
those shifters however, strike me as shoes to rock when in ownership of a ponytail/ shaved side of the head combo.
-
then again, when the 1st herman 2 pictures were released, everyone was biting them, but now they're popular. the kirchart aws shoe looked good to me.
-

It's probably the only shoe I wold skate out of that lot.
-
I like Dill's shoe, would never buy them though.
-
they skate nicely.
i have a pair up next.
-
Sigh.
-
FINALLY! I have been waiting for reynolds 3s with mike taylor's name on them forever!

for reals.....there was always a few kids around my highschool who dressed like they were in those matrix movies, black trench coats, ponytails,boots etc.....I could definitely see them rocking those
-
Sick dude! So Mike Taylor has a pro shoe that looks exactly like the shoe before it...?
Soletech is fucked.
-
I'd rather buy another pair of adidas Gazelle, before buying any of these shoes.
-
The jameson & MT look the same
-
yeah, they both look like turds
-
those reynolds look really snug. i'd get them but not in that color.
-

this guy would sport the shifters
-
shitfters are only out for one season. after wild ride is over, they'll probably never be sold again.
-
i'd wear the shifter to work
-
i got the grey ones (http://i22.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/e6/21/ca3b_1.JPG)

liking them?
-
reynolds lights??? they're not fuckin cigarettes or beer...lights?? c'mon now, this is getting fuckin ridiulous!!!
-
I like those Lights. Cupsole? I am kinda over my feet killing me from vulcs. I heard they are synthetic as well, which is a plus for me.
-
they retail for over 80 bucks.
kinda high for a simple cupsole.
-

actually pretty good idea. i hope they're steel toe.

The synthetic upper makes them really stiff at first, but after wearing them for a few days they feel really confortable.
Not too thick on the sole either, very nice balance.. oh and they are super light- the insoles have tiny triangles cut out pattern all over, and the mesh side panel goes straight to your sock, so you feel a breeze through that when you skate.

that was the point. i think the only cigarettes reynolds smokes are marlboro lights, so that's why he called them that.
-
I'll try them when I'm done the leos. I hate to say it, but I think my feet are over vulcanized shoes.

camel lights*

Viva,
How are those Lights, width-wise?
-
just in case anybody cares....those Sal 23s are only getting made in black and red leather, no suede. not too sure why they'd do that.

They'll probably never be sold during the Wild Ride, either.
-
vans seems to be paving the way for every other shoe company. maybe its always been like that... correct me if im wrong
Mid to late 90's when vans lost their sole, they started trying to rip off other companies instead of going with the classics, it was the worst decision vans ever made.
Aren't the Reynolds lights named that because, like other shoes that have "light" in the name, they are made specifically for the purpose of being lightweight?
-

I really wish they would do a synthetic one, I would love to skate that shoe.
-
Having been a fan of low key skate shoes for years, (I skated Vans Rowleys and I Paths for a long time) I like all the basic shoes. I don't like all the color ways but I would skate some of the lites and the McCrank if he ever makes a non-leather shoe again, even if I think the name is dumb. And like some one else said the Shifters would be a good work shoe.

Techno Viking rocks the Shifters

Do you even remember the originals Sal's?
-
I like Dill's shoe, but I'm pretty iffy about Etnies. I know that's dumb, but I've just never heard anything really good.
-
They're gonna be as good as es or emerica as far as quality goes.
Personally I look at it like I am supporting dill and not etnies.

that's true. I never really fucked with his DVS shoes....but the etnies look tight.

It's hard, I know. You look at etnies as a whole and see bmx,surfing,mall bullshit but I try to just focus on this little sect with dill,creager,malto and others that I like.
It's not like you're wearing calicuts or something. They're very nondescript basic shoes and you're supporting someone you like. But I can fully appreciate not wanting to support something because of association too. It's probably my age that allows me to look past things and only see what I want. If I try hard enough I can find something to be bummed on about most everything these days. But I'd rather put the energy towards finding something good about it. To each there own though.
-
i think the prequals for emerica looked pretty good
and the leos are one of my favorites
-
Looks like there won't be a first 200 SLAP Pal giveaway from Sole Tech anytime soon!

I do see what you're getting at. As far as shoes go, if I like the shoes, and think they'd be good to skate in, I'll rock 'em.

Viva,
How are those Lights, width-wise?
They are about the same width as reynolds 3's. Pretty trim.
