I was looking at http://skately.com/library/shoes (http://skately.com/library/shoes) and its crazy to see the changes in shoes from even the early 2000's till now. What do you think shoes could possibly look like ten years from now? I just dont know how they could change newer shoes to improve them.

all the shoes that were out before the real over tech late 90s and early 2000s shoes looked similar to the ones we have now, simple and slim. since skate shoes follows fashion trends a definite return to that style is likely.

Got these cheap at a contest in 1999, I had them a size and a half too big. Must have looked ridiculous.

maybe these shoes were like that due to the 2000 era, remember when we were kids and 2000 seemed all tech with flying cars, robots....... Ads were ugly to in this era, technical looking ads
thats my theorie
finding good thin simple shoes wasnt easy at all

That's a trend? Boat shoes are awesome to skate in.

Shoes are becoming more functional with every coming season.
Simple designs with more innovative materials. Finding ways to maximize boardfeel,support and durability.
I always see that unwavering nostalgia for shoes of yore, but I remember vividly how poorly made most were.
Icy soles, hard materials and awkward colorways. All those things still happen but at least it's less frequent.
Shoes like the 1/2 cab,superstar,chuck taylor,dunk,blazer,sk8 hi,era will always be around. They're timeless and functional. The companies keep tinkering with them and are getting closer to making them better.
And with all the new insole companies it's easy to upgrade any shoe.

Yeah that was Chany's shoe on converse, it was actually a sick shoe, everyone in New Orleans ran them cuz there was a converse outlet out here and you could always scoop those for $20

Man, Es used to have shit on lock back in the day.
So many creative concepts, whether they failed or not, they seemed to try everything possible to make improvements.

I agree with everything said right here. the timeless shoes gon last and the new kicks are just gonna be more efficient & effective overall. like tech shoes but some of those older ones are fucking hideous. im sure they made sense back in the day but goddamn do you really need 1000 different seams on the side of your shoe? they look like those bogish ass new balance joints you be seein at kohl's n shit. real talk tho the skytop 3 is wear its at. the toe shape is perfect, has excellent heel/ankle support, they're durable and not to mention if you dont skate em for a while and keep em clean the hoes gon' swarm yo shit at the local house parties. seriously, it does everything you need it to. another timeless shoe to go aside the half-cabs & dunks.

I got those shoes and some black swishy pants and couldn't wait to wear that shit at the club later. ("yo! ladies)

Theres a surf shop near my house that hasnt gotten any new inventory for 10 years. Theyre still fully stocked with D3s, Koston 1s, Old ass accels, Stevies DC shoe,Lakai SOTYs,etc.

I would still skate those Kirchart 2s.
I remember wanting Tosh's Emerica shoes when they came out.

There needs to be more skate shoes that use straps instead of laces. DC made a pair about 10 years ago that were ugly as hell (like most of their shoes) and one of the Team Handsome doods had some regular dress shoes made, but a decent looking pair of laceless skate shoes is yet to happen. Think about it: no laces to rip in the first place. Seems like a no-brainer.

Thanks for posting that Muska ad! I remember looking at the same one getting so hyped on them and when I finally got them I skated them to death. I even have a pic of myself somewhere with those skating a Heath Kirchart Birdhouse board.

Sorry, fuckboy, he said straps.
Slipon shoes are WACK. Save them for the longboarders/women/hipsters.

I hate when people on here say to bring back shoes like those Muskas up there, it would feel nearly impossible to skate those now.

I like that Muska was behind the design of both those shoes.
I reminiscence most about my Koston 2's.

YES! it's amazing that vans never rereleased them/ kept them in production esp. considering their popularity for a few years there.
i probably had 6-7 pairs of them.

look i love a puffy cuspole my favorite ever were the gray cardiels with the yellow airbubble best shoe i ever skated. that being said boat shoes are fucking awesome to skate in. even real boat shoes, like perry topsiders. u gotta wear the rubber down for a day till it really starts to grip.
i hope this is coherent i am super intoxicated.

canvas rips like paper when skated. im sure most people would agree with me that if they could only skate one kind of material from now on it would be suede. i see where you comin from talkin about animal slaughter but i really only gotta problem with that in the food industry n shit like that. niggas been wearin leather kicks for centuries

nice archive of some legendary non-leather shoes.
i've owned quite a few of them (the ed 1s, the rowleys, the etnies valley's, the JT adios) over the years but never got to try out 'sheep' so i'm stoked for the upcoming e's rerelease. also missed the boat on zero twos back in the day but i doubt they even got distribution outside of the US.

I used to have these "Vans Syndicates" or something like that, I think they were the Gabe Morford pro model, which is kind of funny. The point is, they were made out of some super super durable rubbery material, I don't even know what it was. they lasted sooo long.
