Title: shoes you would maim/ kill/ pay a small fortune for
Post by: Gray Imp Sausage Metal on January 21, 2015, 08:42:17 PM
since we are all serious skate shoe addicts on here i thought i would get this thread started.
there have been so many great skate shoes released over the years that seem to get forgotten in one or two seasons; so painful especially when you find the perfect shoe. anyways, here's my list;

* a pair of zero-twos - i don't think this will ever happen but i loved the hype and advertising campaign when this brand first came out. their team was dope too!
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/a5441800-97b3-4577-8b21-6789af57a62d.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/a5441800-97b3-4577-8b21-6789af57a62d.jpg.html)

* (canvas) sheep merinos - i missed the boat on these (twice actually with the reissues) and now i wish i really didn't
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/sheep%20shoes.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/sheep%20shoes.jpg.html)

* emerica ed templeton 1s - i can't believe to this day that emerica won't reissue this one (imo it's was/is on par with the marc johnson's first model). there was sooo many people rocking this shoe at the time of their release; arto basically lived in them.
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/emericatempleton1.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/emericatempleton1.jpg.html)

* etnies vallely 1 - what a beast of a shoe it was. i literally cannot stand a word that comes out of mike's mouth these days but there is a soft spot in my heart for this particular model. tech as fuck and built like a tank!
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/vallely.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/vallely.jpg.html)

* vans rowley XLT1 and the shams model - the XLT reminded me of some old-skool reeboks and the shams were basically a bulletproof half cab with a cupsole. saw some XLTs on ebay the other day but it seems like every man and his dog were bidding on them (which just proves how popular they were). bastien and ali rocked them a lot though i don't think they were fully appreciated at the time
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/9f736f13-6400-4a4e-a5f0-de181f6c612c.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/9f736f13-6400-4a4e-a5f0-de181f6c612c.jpg.html)
(^^^ i had this colourway)
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/73d95657-0b18-469c-8456-96f8cc1e603a.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/73d95657-0b18-469c-8456-96f8cc1e603a.jpg.html)

* dukes (first shoe they put out?) - super clean design and you couldn't fuck with jeremy wray at the time (still can't). i had a pair back in the day and loved them. quality was topnotch too!
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/6307337d-92d0-41f0-a48f-e4d5dd71839d.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/6307337d-92d0-41f0-a48f-e4d5dd71839d.jpg.html)

* kastel - ronnie bertino's first shoe? kastel as a brand aged really badly but their first run of kicks was pretty tight at the time
(couldn't find a good pic)

* emerica phocus - i only found this out recently but apparently this was going to be JT's 2nd shoe after his "i'm going to skate barefoot until you make me a canvas shoe" model. jamie left emerica shortly before it was released (see page 3 of this thread for his first adio shoe which was actually based off of the phocus) but emerica released it anyway sans his name. i had just become a vegetarian at the time and was obsessed with cruelty-free shoes (still am), but most of all i just thought it was a really clean looking shoe. will still skate these in a heartbeat <3
(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/5d33b62d-6103-4a1b-95e7-70270248216b.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/5d33b62d-6103-4a1b-95e7-70270248216b.jpg.html)

(will probably edit as some more come to mind)

***

the other reason why i'm starting this topic is that recently i've basically found a treasure trove of dead stock skate shoes (think mid 00's) that i'm thinking of investing in. obviously i'm not going to take the plunge unless i'm going to get some sort of return on this investment so i'm interested in what you guys/ gals would be into. some of this stuff is super hard to get so naturally i won't be able to fulfill all of your wishes but it looks like i'll have a nice haul coming in the coming weeks/ months. as a teaser this will be the first pair going up for sale:

(http://i370.photobucket.com/albums/oo144/fotns1/og%20staple.jpg) (http://s370.photobucket.com/user/fotns1/media/og%20staple.jpg.html)

staple OG (in lakers colourway) which came out as a limted colab with mita sneakers in japan

probably have some gravis, e's square twos, vans stage 4s, emerica (herman 1/ g-code, templeton transist, reynolds 3 etc.) quite soon...

Ah yeah the Staple was sick. I had at least 2 pairs of the black/gum. Lakers colorway would have been dope.

I've always wanted the OG Takashi Dunk SBs. Black and gold. Fuckin clean. Probably never get them, oh well.

DC Rick Howard Is for sure.

ahhhh good old axions, i personally thought they were all ugly except when BA wore them - he can make any shoe look good (see 99% of savior's models). can't deny that guy's shoes was mad popular at the time though.

edit: weren't those carroll DC's infused with some type of metal? ???

I suffer from flipper foot man! I'm a 12. Alas. Good looking out though!

I have a stash of some late 90s, early 2000s shoes at my parents house. I know there some Es Tom Penny 2s in there, as well as a few old school dunks, back when they were made really well.

I'll grab them and post a few soon.

The Hawks were a 90's model so they went for about 45 ( i paid $1 dollar for them at a thrift store)

remember the EMB ones? :o
carroll selects aren't that hard to come by but i can't remember seeing that specific colourway in said treasure trove. i'll have a look though

edit: can't really speak for the DC model you posted (i only ever really liked the clocker, carroll/ howard 1s and the syntax) but all of those e'S are on point!

You guys should check #sk8shoewars tag on instagram.
Lots of pictures of old skate shoes, some people are still skating them.
Lots of noise there but also lots of gems.

I was all about Emericas back in the day, and two particular models I loved the most were the Tosh, and the first Heretic. Oh man I wish I had at least a pair of each to just look at.

(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/emerica-heretic-black-gum.jpg)

(http://skately.com/img/library/print/large/emerica-tosh-townend-shoe-2004.jpg)

Also, Es Mccrank, this one. They were indistructible.

(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/es-shoes-mccrank-2-light-grey-dark-grey.jpg)

When Fallen first came out, the OG Rivals were tight as fuck, I was a lot into Jamie Thomas back then too, wearing flannels and shit, so these were like my dream shoe.

from memory i think i saw a pair of those dylans in brown suede, not brand new but only worn a handful of times. i could get you filters/ filter duro's though ;) or what about those boat shoe-inspired model he put out?

commander> will do, i should probs start a seperate insta account if i really do get this up and running. thanks for the tip

filip> tosh's shoe was another one of those underrrated early-mid 2000s' shoes. i never tried the first heritics but i would always eye them up in the shop.

anyone remember barley's shoe on emerica? or what about senn's?

Yeah, the Tosh shoe was underrated as fuck. I remember they were kinda slim compared to all the shoes that were around, and they had a great toe shape. And everybody fuckin skated Heretics in my town, all the time. You could easily see 8+ pairs every day at the park, mostly the black leather/nubuck? ones. I had around 4 pairs.

LAKAI FADE Navy and white model? I think it was in the debut line of the company. Would fucking kill for those. size 12.

I have a bright ass blue pair of Adidas Ronans (12) that are in pretty good shape if anyone knows of a decent trade they had in mind.....
Also a white gum nike sb lunar gato in 11.5 that dont fit that I have tried to wear twice if anyone is interested in trade or what not...

Might not kill or pay a small fortune since you might still find some of these but having brand new pairs would be the shit.

when i first started, it seemed like everybody in the world was skating these. I was totally unaware who made them. When they did the last re-issue i was too broke. Similar with the EK-01. Id a little more for a fresh pair
(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/medium/emerica-johnson-white-green.jpg)

another shoe from when I first got into skating. tony hawk and xgames had made koston my favorite skater. These were the first shoes i remember not looking flat and puffy like airwalks. Had no clue where to buy them. went to sporting good stores with the ad, gap to back lip, and nobody had a clue.

Stumbled upon this while trying to find a pair of ones.  Some older dude from the 80's passed that owned a skate shop and his kids are selling all his deadstock.  Brand new pairs of vintage skate shoes.

Enjoy!

HeadInLionsMouth> what is the name of that lakai model? do you remember the biebel X diamond colabs? defs can get some of them

SHAWN COMBOVER> those fades remind of axions a lot actually

Manolo> you got some nice ones on your list. enigmas probably sucked as shoes but everyone wore them. what was the shoe that klein used to rock like crazy? was waiting for the KC duffs too, funny how that model was so iconic and yet duffs as a brand pretty much sucked (i did have a pair of strombolies (< was that really their name?) back in the day cuz i loved how josh beagle/ kirchart looked in them). the natas shoe really was the prototype (no pun intended) for pro shoes but apparently there was a another (vert) pro, possibly tom boyle?, who was going to get a shoe before him but knocked it back cuz it was leather. link here (#3): http://www.cabas1997.com/2010/02/i-love-skateboard-shoes.html (http://www.cabas1997.com/2010/02/i-love-skateboard-shoes.html)

the jim shoe was re-released by x-large a year or to ago but yeah, defs one of airwalk's more iconic models (had a pair in white leather). never skated koston 2s but did try a friend's pair on and was blown away by the comfort/ support. never tried the escobar but greco could have made anything at that point and it would have sold. probably his best design when he was on vans though (his other shoes were *vomit*).

TwisT> MJs shoe really was ahead of its time; super tech with a super simple design. know those kostons, never tried a pair. those duffs remind me of hensley and/ or jason adams and louie. one pair of duffs was enough for one me though ;)

VCR> never had a pair of vitas (nor did i ever see any in the flesh) #australiaproblems

edit: all the edits :-\

Fongstarr.> probably one of savier's better designs (was that the one with the story on the sole?). that dill shoe got mad love too!

Lasernaut> nice choice, not sure why trujillo didn't run with these; seems like people would still rock them to this day. early circa shoes were gr9, i had a few JT models and had nothing bad to say about them.

Rusty Shackleford> i can get quite a few pairs/ colourways of the low version of that shoe, or are you specifically looking for it in a hightop/ that colourway?

The Artist Formerly Known As Prince> impeccable taste. saw both (on friend's feet) back when they were released and it seems like both never got their shine (admittedly carroll left for DC within like a month of the shoe dropping right?).

art hellman> YES! fallen re-released them a few years back and i really really REALLY regret not hunting down a pair. love JT when he was still vegan <3

The Muffin Man> watch this space! i will get some dylans

Stoop Kid 2.0> didn't skate either. funny (i mentioned this in the OP too) how some great shoes get pushed out of catalogs so quickly

BMCsteve and peeeekka> great shoe and a great time for airwalk. that design was so stylish and really reflected where j.lee was at at the time. do you remember the ad/ video that went with it (him playing tennis)?

era> EPIC EPIC find. oh man, all those old airwalks and visions :o :o :o

Randozzi> they already discontinued?

I always wanted these as a kid and never had a chance to get them.

(http://cdn3.coresites.mpora.com/kingpin_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Vita-Dill.jpg)

Me too, but as an adult. They had a black/grey pair with a green jell cell in the sole (I think). They looked so different at the time and were way more radical than Savier.

I had the Natas model, but never had the cash to splurge on the Dills.

They have the Natas here for $125.

HATE!> good call on the SLB. had a pair in white/ green and they were pretty much indestructible. sal was on on point with all of his designs.

JB> THOSE mj-3s :o had them in dark navy/ cream but i wasn't skating so much at the time ... i truly regret this. seems like MJ wasn't afraid of still running with a cupsole at a time when every.single.shoe was vulc. i see you like emerica templeton models too which means you are a (wo?)man of impeccable taste. e'S are really blowing it by not rereleasing their classic models; most people would kill for a pair of those creagers/ kostons.

Firebert> might actually be able to score some renoylds 3s, the first two models are like hens teeth these days. any particular colorway you are looking for?

sleepypancakes (and other people who commented on the transists)> i'm not in the US but i'll report back once i get my first stash. anything above a 10.5 is going to be hard for me to get (although not impossible). i'm almost certain i saw a pair of purple ones ;)

all of you lakai heads> please mention the model names you're looking for because i've honestly only ever skated one pair of lakais. pretty sure i'll get some old skool telfords as well as a few pairs of the biebel x diamond collab (think busenitz tongue).

All emericas for me!   ;D

Never had those Reynolds lights but i think they are such a rad shoe. Emerica should do a re-release, i dont think they need any adjustments because they have a pretty clean and actual design!
(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/emerica-reynolds-lights-black-white-green.jpg)

These Herman 2's where one of my favourite shoes ever, i still have them all torn in my house... the collar was so puffy that felt like pillows on my feet! Miss these days. I still had his 2 next shoes but they dont have that amazing feeling!

Loose Trucks Saved My Life> i'll have a pair of telford's for you ;)

Sk.A.T.A.N> funny you mentioned those hermans, i saw a pair in black/ purple. what size you after? saw a pair of g-codes too in 13 if anyone is interested?

skateboardnorth> YES! had them in black. did you ever see the emerica phocus (i'm going to edit my original post now because i really would pay $$$ for that shoe)? originally it was going to be his 2nd shoe on emerica but he left for adio and released the one you posted. kinda similar actually (and they were both vegan models). JT seems to rock the 50/50 model a lot more than this one (another great adio release that i never got to skate) which was a pretty low tech shoe at the time. funny story about this shoe (the one you posted): tony hawk shot a "got milk?" ad in them at the time when jamie was at the peak of his veganism. i doubt JT gave a shit in the grand scheme of things but i think ian mackeye wrote the birdman a nasty letter.

Nallid> sorry mate, not my intention. i am going to come through with some of these shoes so keep your eyes posted. old DCs seem to be really hard to come by though...

Really like that colorway, I've never seen it before. Of course I had this shoe, also had MJ's second model in white and orange which was great as well.

Always wanted to skate this version of the OG Kalis ever since I bought Photosynthesis:

These Ari Marcopoulos Vans are nice:

I actually found Dill's Etnies shoe really good to skate in. Didn't have this colorway but I like it:

Glad that Ed's first Emerica shoe is getting some recognition, I never had a pair but I always wanted one. Definitely Jason Lee's Airwalk model and Creager's eS shoe in grey and gold too.

Call me mad (as i recall this shoe getting alot of hate before) but id love a pair of these again, they lasted forever and had mad flick because of the plasticky - spikey toe area, also i still think they look pretty G.

Nike zoom tre
(http://solesirius.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/TreadBTTFDay3.jpg)

I had these in the black/rasta colorway and are probably some of my favorite skate shoes of all time. All the "new" shoe tech features of today were in these things years ago. Never got to try the original tre's but i had a buddy who swore by them...then another one that swore by the exact same pair after getting em from my other friend. I did the same with my AD's, I skate goofy and gave them to another friend who's regular and they lasted us both forever. same exact pair of shoes that shit is crazy lol.

I really liked this shoe. I had the purple/grey color and they were sick. Skated good, my foot felt really well-protected in them.

Anyone remember Rudy Johnsons last DC model? The Iomi? Those were sick.

Weren't there two Tre models? One without the rubber toe or something?

I never had either but I would have probably would have liked them. They had the same profile as the Angus which I loved. For a while I was getting them on eBay for dirt cheap. I still have multiple Angus insoles and use them on my skate and casual shoes. Thick cushy foam with a Zoom airbag.

Honestly, they didn't look great but they felt wonderful.

I think those 2nd Dills were the last DVS I bought. They looked nice but the sole was a real joke, the tread was just really thin DVS letters. Needless to say they lasted about a week. The 1st Dills always interested me but were never reduced...

dinosaur> haha, good choice. completely forgot about that one, how many models did he end up having on vans? 4?
looks like a AF1 had sex with back of renoylds' first emerica shoe.

@thewilleasley> funny how bulletproof that shoe looks; they probably got rid of it cuz it lasted too long LOL

QUIT SINNIN> i might have some square twos coming

VCR and art hellman> nice choice, total gazelle homage right there. what number is AVE on these days with his vans model? 6? 8?

Stanley Spadowski> didn't habitat do a reissue of this? i think it was probably DVS's best seller back in the day (well that and keenan's shoe <<< actually surprised that this hasn't got any love yet)

ALABAMAMAN> never skated the ed 3 but that was a great release. wait, you actually had a pair? that's dope. i could get you a pair of those strangers but it would indeed cost you a small fortune :o

Nallid> imagine how much a complete set of them would go for? who was it, cale, justin, TX? did the pros have a colourway too?

I was also kind of partial to the Vans "tech" era shoes. The Agah, Santos, Peterson, Greco, Fowler, Hassan, Monk, Mingus, etc.

When I see pictures now they do have that 'cyberpunk baked potato" look but I don't remember them looking so bad in person. Maybe the bigger sizes looked less round?



What were the Vans with the super fat stripe?

i really liked the look of the monk II back in the day. probably because i was really into scott bourne at the time and he made it look good.
super fat stripe vans were just nu skools weren't they? they remind me of rune and dustin dollin

In no order

Emerica MJ's
Emerica templeton's
Es SLB's(missed the reissue)
Ipath reeds mid's(Shiloh skates em in first love)
Circa Allies(skate and destroy edition)
Lakai Howard 4's


Basically before Vulc took over again.yes I know the Allies and Reeds were both Vulc but they skated so good!

i missed the train on the first zoom tres but i had the ADs as well. i still think theyre one of the sickest looking shoes, but god damn they were uncomfortable. whatever that really sticky synthetic part they lined the inner heel with would cut my feet up so bad that i had to wear bandaids on my feet just to walk around in those things. i ended up giving them to my brother because i couldnt handle them. id probably still wear them today if they made that heel part different. i had this colorway.

well the SLB did get mentioned on page two
to be honest they had a re-release of the 23 a few years back so it's not like they are super hard to get a hold of. classic shoe for sure (had them in maroon/ black) but it just doesn't seem that rare when compared to something like kareem's shoe on duffs or a pair of mariano axions. idk ???

I loved these shoes so much. They were durable and the colorway was so sick. Ordered them from SPoT for like $25 back in the day.

And thanks for reminding me about the Keenan's, those I would maim/kill/pay a small fortune for.

it's actually hard to find any decent pics of them (the pic you posted was the only one i could find too). remember the colourway with the clear soles? :o

i-paths have now been posted now, all is right with the universe (i can actually get some reeds but i don't think they are as memorable as the cats/ grasshoppers)

While on the topic of ipath

Bought a pair of these after seeing danny renaud rock em hard in mosaic. Looked cool but skates like shit. Gave em to a friend.

(http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ip/ipath-traveler.jpg)
Always wanted a pair of travelers. They remind me a bit of reebok workouts.
You didn't miss anything with the travelers. Thick sole, stiff leather. They were tanks for durabilty but felt like actual tanks on your feet.

Call me mad (as i recall this shoe getting alot of hate before) but id love a pair of these again, they lasted forever and had mad flick because of the plasticky - spikey toe area, also i still think they look pretty G.

I had these in the black/rasta colorway and are probably some of my favorite skate shoes of all time. All the "new" shoe tech features of today were in these things years ago. Never got to try the original tre's but i had a buddy who swore by them...then another one that swore by the exact same pair after getting em from my other friend. I did the same with my AD's, I skate goofy and gave them to another friend who's regular and they lasted us both forever. same exact pair of shoes that shit is crazy lol.
[close]


i missed the train on the first zoom tres but i had the ADs as well. i still think theyre one of the sickest looking shoes, but god damn they were uncomfortable. whatever that really sticky synthetic part they lined the inner heel with would cut my feet up so bad that i had to wear bandaids on my feet just to walk around in those things. i ended up giving them to my brother because i couldnt handle them. id probably still wear them today if they made that heel part different. i had this colorway.

I had this exact problem too. Great looking shoe, and aside from the flesh wounds around my ankles, they were really comfortable. I still have them around here somewhere... Maybe I should dig them out and try modifying them in some way to make them more wearable.

fadedpastels> some nice choices in there. the bastien's were heavily rowley XLT inspired, never did try a pair though. i didn't actually try the TNTs either because i was too obsessed with rowley at the time. no to take away from its credibility or anything but remember when black/ pink colourways were huge? that's what that shoe reminds me of. ed's 2nd shoe is getting a lot of love in here; makes me regret not buying a pair now :'(

Stanley Spadowski> and TK too no?

dinosaur> they would be the 1985s no? i really like the look of the travellers too (esp. in navy) but remember physically picking up a pair and realizing they were super HEAVY. ended up going with these instead:

Loose Trucks Saved My Life> vox?

 Sk.A.T.A.N (and GAY)> braydon was slightly ahead of the curve with that shoe wasn't he (actually he was just on the whole glam metal tip no)? shame he got the boot (no pun intended though it did come a hi-top too right ;D) so soon after its release; looks like a glam-ed up MJ1 with a prototype g6 sole

Agree 100%. I loved both pair of these I owned. They were like pillows for your feet.

I've been trying to get another pair of these in that colourway after the first pair I had, skated them to death and loved them. They are surprisingly hard to get even though they were on sale a few months after release here in the U.K and as such probably didn't sell too well. They seriously skated perfectly after about two kickflips. (SO, on that note if anyone has anywhere I can get a pair of these please pass on the info).

As for other shoes:

Had these in red but always wanted the Gino ones:
(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/nike-sb-air-zoom-fc-light-bone-white.jpg)

Again, had these in the black and white colour but these always looked brilliant with the one colour toe. And nostalgia aside, I think these would probably still be feasible to skate in, even with the big air pocket in the heel the forefoot was surprisingly good for board feel.
(http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/t_article_image/tgj4o93g3l6n7sqhr8ay.jpg)

Always a regret not picking these up at the time, but from what I remember they were pretty expensive:
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FXJdloGQL.jpg)

Thanks to some oversight by T.K Maxx I got these for �14, say what you want about the shoe but they are insanely skateable. I would kill for them again.
(http://www.eliteboardshop.com/images/2007/07/12/supra_skyhigh.jpg)

These look so so good, another shoe regret not getting these:
(http://skate-europe.com/common/zdjecia/23044-1.jpg)

These in Lo-top were another one of my favourite skate shoes. The toe-cap etc didn't last too long but hey, that's what shoe goo is for. Goddam I'm getting misty eye'd.
(http://www.watertown.k12.ma.us/dept/fapa/whs_08_09/sites/marissa_1/fw/footwear%20pics/RisingSun_BKWEII-2.jpg)

I'm saying nothing other than these were just the best:
(https://d22d7v2y1t140g.cloudfront.net/m_679295_4pBHLzwMSMUF.jpg)

Would have loved these, a friend of mine had them in navy when they came out, they looked pretty decent in person and he reported nothing but positive traits about them while skating:
(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/vans-shoes-rowley-xlt-white-red.jpg)

Anyone else remember the Greco TWS interview where he was wearing these in I think pure red/yellow stripe when nollie bs flipping Beverly Hills 9? Was probably in 2005.
(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRIY2WnJyGLPa1l6mU_H7RX9BdgcnrOFJV0guW2JuDH8RG49Y_SsA)

These were fucking tanks but they made me unbelievably happy having these when I was 14/15. That rubber ollie pad area was indestructible:
(http://media.cdnws.com/_i/13795/11616/1/17/rms4blkmdgr-01.jpeg)

Both of these are super dope. I remember that Greco interview as well his shoes on Vans were nice.



I never got the chance to skate the P.Rod 3's but I always loved the design. Seen them in person a couple times as well they were so sick. Would definitely try to cop these if I could find them in a 10.

sorry peeps, i am in the process of moving apartments/ moving my family in with me so i've been busy. the first batch has been reserved though and they will be up online ... when i get them up online. i'll keep you posted!

formeitscrazylike> were they karl's model? either way they look like you could seriously get your wu-tang on with them 8)

DISTANT RUMOURS> nice choice on the syntax (veganrant: apparently they never made a suede version of this shoe), never owned a pair, would love to channel my inner-moses in them though. ooh muska 1s, gotta give it to the muska always on top of his shoe game; that model alone changed the way skate shoes looked for the next 5 years. again i swear that mike carroll DC model was infused with some sort of metal. brave call on the kastels, did you skate a pair? i really only ever liked their first run of shoes (the all black ronnie b model with the white stripe running around the back).

trannies and mannies> can't speak for the rest but the mj-3s were so dope, only ever had the low tops but would kill for some of the all weather high tops.

poor alice> many would argue with some of the shoes you posted but i'm guessing it's because a lot of us probably never tried them. the EEs and penny's are kind of a given, both would go for big $$$ these days. never skated fallens (or osiris for that matter), but those ali kicks defs represent a certain time in skating. glad we are in agreement with the XLTs, you have that colour too? i personally thought those grecs were UGLY but i never skated them (was that the one that ethan fowler used to wear a lot?). hahaha chet/ globe cops a lot of hate for this era but the fact is they were selling like hotcakes. propbably not the greatest shoe for a company though; they literally look like they would last too long!

this is my new fav. thread!
;D ;D ;D

VCR> was that a team model? for some reason it makes me think of creager...

Niko Katavainen> haha, popps would be so disappointed. i haven't rocked cons in YEARS but these shoes were gunna be my return gateway drug. make me think of mid 90s beastie boys. "were" being the operative word here though, by the time i got around buying a pair popps was already given the boot and i couldn't find them anymore. i imagine these would fetch a pretty penny even though they aren't that old. if only popps had the foresight to lock away 200 or so pairs to re-sell on ebay.

Lakai x Crailtap Carrolls

remember the EMB ones? :o
carroll selects aren't that hard to come by but i can't remember seeing that specific colourway in said treasure trove. i'll have a look though

I am like 99.9% sure that I have the EMB Carroll Selects at my parents' house.  Never skated, just worn to work a few times.  If I still have them and anyone is interested in purchasing them, send me a PM.


I would love to have a stash of the AV3.  Once you take out the tongue stuffing, that shoe is perfect.  I remember the sole not being described as vulc on the box so I always assumed it was a different construction.  Like an early Wafflecup, but with no break in time.  I was super anti-vulc at the time and it felt like the best of both worlds to me.

These
The skatepark I used to go to all the time had a pair of these on the wall forever. It would be funny to see how they skated compared to real dunks. They're probably not made in America because that would be extremely expensive, so whats the point when they're probably made in china? It's the same people producing it, but at probably half the quality. "I'll give half the money to a skater-based company, although the product they made is blatantly sub-par", instead of Consolidated just making shoes that are better for skating than Nike.

all of you lakai heads> please mention the model names you're looking for because i've honestly only ever skated one pair of lakais. pretty sure i'll get some old skool telfords as well as a few pairs of the biebel x diamond collab (think busenitz tongue).

In 2004, just before I graduated high school, I bought a pair of Nike indoor soccer shoes for $20 on a Foot Locker sale rack

They looked a lot like this:
(http://soccerprose.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/366184-018-Nike-Tiempo-Mystic-III-IC-Black-300x300.jpg)
had a toe like this:

and were in this colorway:
(http://cdn.nikeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Nike-SB-Zoom-Stefan-Janoski-Obsidian-Gum-4.jpg)

They were leather and suede and were the most comfortable, longest lasting, best-skating, non-skate shoe I've ever owned. I miss them all the time

I've always wondered why cupsole slip-ons are never really attempted.  Especially nowadays with all the in-between soles people are making.

As someone else already mentioned, the Emerica Ellingtons were some of my favorites. I had 3 pairs of them, and as soon as the 2's came out, I got a pair of those, and they just didn't look, feel, or skate as good as the first ones

eS Theory 1.5's. The only mid top shoes I ever cared for. They didn't last for very long, but they were comfortable as hell, and they looked great to me.

Whatever these DC's are called. I had a couple pairs, and they skated extremely well, and were insanely comfortable. I had them in all black suede with red and white accents

Never been much of a fan of skating the shoes, but I've always loved how clean these Bruins looked.  I even had an opportunity when they came out to get it for a discount, but I passed on it thinking I'd get back to it later.  Classic shoe that got away story, and I've been lurking on ebay ever since.

They arent even that skated but the sole was gone too fast! Gone bald and thin in weeks and no grip whatsoever, it was strange because i had the herman 2 that had the same sole and lasted a while... Maybe i'll clean them and just chill in them.

^yeah, that`s one shoe i would really love to have again! BUT more specifically a first run of the G CODE! had two pairs of them when they first came out and skated a couple over the following years. the newer g codes didn`t even come close to the first run of them. different fit, lot bulkier and not as when they first came out!

I have a pair that I only skated a few times in the black/gum colorway... To be honest, I didn't really think they skated all that great. The rubber/plastic underlay under the suede seemed to not actually be attached to each other making them feel weird and very, very stiff. I was actually pretty disappointed in them, but maybe I should have another go at skating them? Definitely not a shoe that felt good out of the box.

Oh, they were absolutely stiff as fuck. But I typically wear my shoes around for non-skating for up to a couple months before ever skating them. It definitely took several sessions, but they were literally indestructible afterwards. Similar feel to the Emerica Provosts, which I skate now. Board feel, EXCELLENT cushioning, simplicity, and the most indestructible vulc I've ever seen make this by far the best shoe in recent memory.

I always wanted these as a kid and never had a chance to get them.

I SUCK! sent me a pair of these. Thanks! Ain't skating 'em. Was bummed that they never made it out.

I have some Emerica Reynolds 3 purple hazes in 9.5, but they're halfway (or a little bit more) skated.
Also I have some camo BA dunks and the blue/black send help dunk. Dunno why I ever bought those.

What size for the laced high? Were/ are they really that good?
What half cabs are those? Supreme, or just regular pros?
Never got to try fallens, the forte would have been my choice if I did though.

I'm a 9. Laced High skates as well as any shoe that looks like that, but it was also really good-lookin'. Fallen 1996's did poorly in pre-booking so they never got made. Those gum half cabs were some supreme shit. Wish they made those colors for regular folk.

Thats a shame. Ever since the first Emerica Heretics, Ive always loved shoes with that silhoulette, I wish more companies would do a shoe with a rubber toe bumper.

I wish I still had a pair of the Nikes in the top right hand corner, I don't remember what they were called, i never skated mine and they were a full size too big for me, i think they were just eventually thrown away from using them to mow the lawn and stuff. Also the Vans Steve Cabs on the lower right hand corner, I did my first kickflip in those shoes and kept them for a really long time. Plus the Kenny's (in black gum though) and the blue grey Accel for sure, those were always my favorites.

I can't even... that was THE shoe when it came out on emerica, everyone wanted a pair!
Rubber toe bumper is great (and reminds me of templeton 1s); check out the etnies maranas (cupsoles of course) to get your 90s/ early 00s nostalgia stoke on.
My fav half cabs were I think the 2nd or 3rd run of syndicates (called "bulletproof"?):

I always wanted these. Why don't they do this again? Another company should. I love slip ons and wearing them but never can skate them even the pros I was unsure about.

I still want to try a pair of the Slip-On Pros but I'm pretty hesitant to spend $60 on a shoe I might not like. The TNT 3's were so sweet though.

bummer! this was the only colourway that I'm aware of that came out in synthetic hence the no stretch/ tight fit.
I've had my pair for at least 4 years now and they still fit so snug

The Emerica Transists were probably my favorite cupsole shoes ever made. I bought a pair off ebay in 2010 for $15 shipped. They fit perfectly and had a perfect shape to them. The shape was similar to Vans Old Skools. Awesome shoes. I skated them so long that I had holes in every sock I owned. I wish they would bring them back.

pica> don't like the reissues? (don't worry, many don't)

Dr Steve Brule> WOW! these are getting a lot of love in this thread. Maybe I should skate a pair instead of selling them?

Silas 1/ OG peeps> I skated mine on Wednesday night and they didn't squeak. Still the best adidas SBs I've ever skated though ;D

McCly> Can we get a pic of said archives?

Makaveli> Puleo stockpiled them no? They always looked rad, wonder how the ones with the vibram soles skated?

el chino> post a pic if you've still got them. maybe it's just me but old shoes' soles tend to harden up over the years if you don't rock them frequently

Omamori> That's an impressive list but I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find any of them (especially all those kostons). Not impossible, but you'll be paying through your anal cavity (on ebay). Never did skate a pair of 88s, did hear lots of good things about them them though.

***

I really should get this list posted with photos/ prices.
Sorry about my tardiness, moving houses with a wife and new baby proved to be quite time consuming. Let's see if I can get some of these kicks online in the next few months.

The 6's aren't too hard to find. Finding a good colorway is hard though. The K2's and K4's are always sizes too small or a size 13. I got lucky a few months ago and scored a pair of the K3's, they were actually owned by Jeremy Wray.

88's are probably harder to find. Rarely see pairs for sale.

Ipath Reed, preferably the lows. I still regret getting rid of them.

God damn, never skated them but I really wanted the eS Ecosse at the time, and still do, preferably this colorway
(http://)
Also the fallen troopers and supra dixons, I did skate these and they were so very good.

My dixons skated good but i gone through the soles in no time... They were cheap as fuck when i bought them so i wasnt that mad.

Not sure if this is the proper topic for this but I've recently decided to get rid of all my old gems, here's pics and details if anyone is interested in picking up some rare shit.

(http://oi57.tinypic.com/2dv7wjp.jpg)
Lynx Size 9 White/Emerald lightly worn, never skated. No box.
Rudy Johnson 1 size 9 navy, well worn, never skated. No original box, but an older Lynx box that I wrote "CDs" on top of when moving haha.
Howard 2 Black size 8.5 deadstock w/original box
Howard 1 White size 9 lightly worn, never skated. No OG box but with a size 9 Howard 2 box.
Howard 2 Black size 9 slightly skated, no box, yellowing sole. Good pair if someone wants to skate some oldies.
(http://oi62.tinypic.com/2h3o5ft.jpg)
Koston 1 Brown/Gum size 9 lightly worn never skated w/ original box and extra laces
Koston 1 Black/White size 9 lightly worn never skated w/ original box and product sticker
Koston 1 first run colourway white/gum with no air pocket (only first run white and black had no air pockets). Size 9 w/original box, extra laces, and sticker.
Koston 2 first run colourway black size 8.5. Lightly worn, no original box, but with a box from a different shoe around the era.
Koston 3 first run colourway grey/navy size 9. Lightly skated w/ original box.
(http://oi60.tinypic.com/w2c26x.jpg)
SLB 97 black/gum size 8.5 lightly worn. No original box, but in an older Etnies Sal 23 box.
Etnies Sal 23 2003 reissue. Black 8.5, white size 9, brown size 9. All w/ original box. All lightly worn, except the brown which is a little more worn.
Etnies Natas 2003 Reissue size 9 w/original box, laces, etc. Worn.
Lakai Howard 1 black size 9 lightly skated
Lakai Carrol 1 grey size 9. Pretty well skated, but don't want much for them if someone just wants them for nostalgia
Lakai Carroll 2 black/silver with the weave. Lightly worn never skated.
(http://oi62.tinypic.com/35lg50y.jpg)
Axion Mariano 1 first run colourway size 8.5. Deadstock w/ original box, and keychains, no yellowing.
Axion Gino Islander navy size 9 worn w/original box, packing paper, and keychains.
Axion Triad white size 8.5 deadstock w/original box and extra laces and keychain still attached.
Axion Aries white size 9 worn no box.
Axion Aries black size 8.5 deadstock never worn with original box. However, just discovered the foam is falling apart and the sole is basically falling off. Would let them go for cheap if someone wanted to repair them for the collection. Couldn't really be worn though.

If anyone's interested in any of them, send me a private message we can talk about prices. All worn shoes have been cleaned with Jason Markk shoe cleaner.

shot in the dark here, but does anyone remember the globe cheapskates? essentially the poor man's huf classic, released years in advance. i skated through 4 pairs of these in 2009/2010 and loved them, and for about $30 they were hard to beat. wish i could find 'em again.

Maybe it's just nostalgia talking, but early DC was on another level. Took advantage of tech and cupsole possibilities w original designs (not just skate takes on classic sneakers) and without going too far (looking at you, Axion). I know reissues are never the same but it's a shame that DC went so far downhill. Those Howards....

Need to work on my replies/ get these shoes up online. Sorry guys, waaay to many business trips recently :-\

Ipath Reed, preferably the lows. I still regret getting rid of them.

I had brown (hemp) mids. I remember liking them ... but not loving them. What did you dig about the lows?

Wonderful Whizzplank>
Never skated a pair of fallens. Come to think of it never skated supras either. Those dixons got a lot of love tho

Hannity> Are you bringing them out to rip, or are they staying on ice?

tracer> (can't tell if serious or not though) That was actually a pretty neutral looking globe shoe. I doubt anyone really collects old globes (nor osirises for that matter (D3s being the obvious exception))

Jumping Beans> funny, his first circa shoe seemed to be more popular. hang on a sec, was the circa shoe he always skated a team model?

clemsausage> define "good" (and tell me your size). I can get my hands on some, they won't be cheap though...

doublesteveburger> never saw them without the bubble. first pair i ever saw were blue (nubuck?)/ gum sole and had the bubble

watson> once again WOW :o

Jordick> did you already tell me your size? Didn't they come in both brown and caramel?

MOE SYZLAK> must have missed the boat on them ... was an avid rowley shoe collecter back in the early 90s. Had a pair of these (in I want to say green/ grey? think stan smith inspired colourway) and the fit on them was terrible... may well have been a faulty pair though. Looks like he was drawing heavily from that old emerica model JT used to rock no? If I7m not mistaken it was also the first instance of a reversed waffle no? Suprised SPV rowleys aren't getting much love here

Brandon> don't remember them :'( look like HUFs without the $90 price tag

oyolar> heath always had pretty out there shoe designs imo. his first emerica model got lots of tech love, can't say I ever recall seeing the shoe you posted though

franquietits> indeed he would. he does he even ride for these days shoe wise?

Rusty Shackleford> Lakai all-weather packs are almost always on the money. Imagine if lakai released them this year (or late last year)?

Coconut Lotion> holy grail of late 90s tech no? BA and EE always made axions look good imo

McCly> You gunna sit on those puig's too? I'm sure there's lots of posters who want another chance to skate them.

fulfillthedream> silas' designs are waaay ahead of the game. never skated the 2nd one (and didn't particularly like it from a aesthetics point of view) but I bet it worked well

Wow, I had the exact same problem with my Heaths. I loved the shoe but the sole was bald in a week. I emailed Emerica and they sent me a brand new pair of Herman 2's instead. I still have those Herman 2's because I don't want to skate them, I like them too much.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the sole on the huf slip ins ether, way too thick for that style shoe. These are a uk 7, and fit true to size if not a bit small, so a uk 8 foot would still fit nicely. Well if anyone's interested I've got these, and the grey suede ones that I wouldn't mind parting with.

Ahh , I'm not the person you replied to but what size do you have? Were they true to size? If so 10. I've scoured the Internet in hopes of finding a pair of these. The tobacco and grey looked amazing too. I wish huf could rerelease these somehow. The slip ons look good but I don't like the sole.
[close]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the sole on the huf slip ins ether, way too thick for that style shoe. These are a uk 7, and fit true to size if not a bit small, so a uk 8 foot would still fit nicely. Well if anyone's interested I've got these, and the grey suede ones that I wouldn't mind parting with.
[close]
say  is it in the realm of reasonable prices ?

Not cheap cheap but definatley reasonable, but keep in mind I'm in UK so shipping might cost a bit of you're in America but Idon't really know, never shipped anything over there. Shoot me a pm with an offer if you're interested

I've still got a few pairs I'd be willing to part with as well in a US size 8. Probably not willing to sell my black leathers though.

They're 11s. 

I haven't worn them in a little bit, but I remember that they have a little bit of extra space in the toes.

They've also never been skated by the way--I used to just wear them to walk around in when I worked at a museum in college.  There's just a little bit of wear on the heel.

Oh Zoom Tre, the only skate shoe I've never put a hole in. They also broke in so easy and had exceptional ankle support. Such a lovely shoe. <3

I think that shoe was a flop because of how durable they were. My theory is that people who bought them didnt had to buy new shoes for a long long time so they didnt sell that many. I saw a couple pairs at the outlets at the time. Still one of my favs Nike sb models ever. So well thought in all aspects. Anybody remember the zoom fp's? I was so hyped about them at the time, never saw a pair in person tho.

I always wanted a pair of the Lakai Trifectas. For some reason I went for a pair of Reynolds 2's that were 2 sizes too big instead.

these look like they'd be the best things ever
If I had to pick one pair of shoes all time that I personally remember skating and that felt the best for my feet its these.  I had one of every color way made back in the day.  I bought every pair in my size the shop at the time had, and sat on them for a while.  Its still the first thing I scour ebay for, i wouldn't even hold onto them, Id skate the shit out of em.  I heard rumors Es might re release them, Im hoping the sole is not stiff this go around.  First ones were so flexible and good.

Like Dunks, the older ones that everyone swoons over from a while ago are the best cause the sole is flexible as shit, the new re done sole sucks, its stiff as shit  just causing the shoe to feel boxier than it is/should be. 

Es tried to re do the SLB 2 years ago and the made it kind of half assed and slightly off kilter from the original, I have a pair of the samples somewhere, they were super stiff and not as comfy.  the neoprene sock and ankle support were the best part of the OG and they can't skimp on that if they're re-done.

Sorry for this rant, I'm very passionate about the SLB 2,to me it's like the Shelby to Nick Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds

Yeah, i know i could give them a new life but i dont really have the time for it or wanna make the effort, they have some drips of paint and look worse in person than the photo. I actually searched for this model on ebay after posting that picture and found a portuguese seller that has them in the og color (dark blue) in a 9 (my size) new, with box, keychain, extra laces, for 90 euros. I think it's more worth it.

A reissue of his éS model would be great, they were in shops for such a short time before he went to etnies.

I don't think I ever saw one of these on anyone's feet, ever. I had a couple of Cab 4s and a bunch of 5s.


Two years ago I saw Darren Mendito skating in Cab 6s. He said he still had a closet full of them.

I would also love to have these blazers again too, skated them for so long cause of the thick leather they used.

If Vans started production of the Era, Old Skool, Sk8 Hi, etc. made in USA with the same measurements and silhouette from the 60s-70s I'd be perfectly fine with paying $100-$150.

I know that dude from the UK or wherever sells them in his exclusive USA made Vans store but I'm not going to pay that much for shoes someone's stinky ass foot was in for months or years at a time.

Yes!  I had those with the SAG pants back in the day and went to an Osiris signing in NYC all decked out.  Smolik was pretty stoked and gave me a sticker the size of a deck. I was such a YOsiris fanboy back then, The Storm changed my life!  I would totally buy them again if I saw them in 10 or 10.5 at a reasonable price.

violator> rofl @ "YOsiris". You know, I never actually rocked a pair to be honest, was more about emerica, adio and circa at the time. Nice to hear you had the SAG pants too, I bet they would fetch a pretty penny these days.

mogoloid> nice choice with the i-paths. I-path got a lot of hate when they first came out but I always liked their designs/ concepts (plus I was always in the market for good non-leather shoes). I slept on those hemp/ synth grasshopper at least 3 times back in the day because I was too obsessed with rowley 1s. Really should have bought a pair :'(

Thanks! I actually had all of those shoes at one point, excluding the Koa which I never seemed to be able to find in my size.

Honestly, as much as I love them for the looks those particular hemp/synth grasshopper (I believe they were actually called the cricket) were the only pair of I-paths I owned that actually had functionality issues. I seem to remember the entire sole separating from the rest of the shoe when skating Worcester MA skatepark, The others however held up beautifully!

Funny thing is I don't at all remember skating the Yogi's, and actually only just realized last night that I did in fact own them in that very colorway. I wore them Senior year high school is about all I seem to be able to remember... those were some hazy days.

But yeah, if anyone comes across size 11-11.5 early era I-paths in great condition a PM would be much appreciated. I'd pay a hefty sum for some of those original models.

Woops my bad, they were indeed the cricket! Weird to hear they had issues, i-path quality was top notch from memory.
The brand had a cult following in Japan at the time and even to this day I see a lot of them out there in the wild (wrong thread?). Will keep my eyes peeled for ya - have seen a few pairs around but they are usually vibram-sole era, not the OG ones...

haha after all these years it's hard to keep up on all the Orthoptera model names.

I think I just could have got a bad shoe to be honest. I remember in typical I-path fashion they felt very nice, and skated well prior to said incident. I probably found some way to compound the fact, as I have destructive tendencies.

It's amazing how well received I-path seems to have been in the eastern part of the world, Something I had absolutely no idea about. Yes I would be eternally grateful if you happen to see anything rad in size 11 (us), and hit me up.

they should do the reboot for the SLB 2 NOW in the original color way / material and they
shoud call it again after Sal Barbier - put it out with a little part from sal and i would buy.

I'm skating a pair of eS scales from 2007 and they have the exact STI evolution soles as those SLB samples. They take like a month to break in. As for a new SLB release, these are coming out soon (https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13533240_1004672119601687_9048281066427943096_n.jpg?oh=9da8e2c2778e34a33b307bfee61db8c2&oe=588133C0)

Had to dig for these, mentioned these before, the reboot Es tried nearly 10 years ago for the SLB 2.  The Arcane.  These are Samples I don't think they ever made it to production cause they were going to retail for over $100 at the time.

I'm skating a pair of eS scales from 2007 and they have the exact STI evolution soles as those SLB samples. They take like a month to break in. As for a new SLB release, these are coming out soon (https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13533240_1004672119601687_9048281066427943096_n.jpg?oh=9da8e2c2778e34a33b307bfee61db8c2&oe=588133C0)

Something about the strap on that shoe made me feel like a damn super hero. Early 2000s sole tech was the shit. We used to give this homeless guy change to try and Ollie off the loading dock behind big lots. Ah to be a douchebag teenager once more.

I think that I have these at my fathers house in brand new condition size US 10.5. They fit more like 10 so I didn't skate them or wear them at all.

It's Dyrdek's second DC model from 1996. I had them in that same color. Loved them. They looked perfect. They were the coolest. I was so cool back then...


BTW - anyone has any pic from Colin Mckay's second shoe on DC. I am unable to find any photo. I remember they felt weird for the time. Like a futuristic aerobic boot. But that's all my memory can recall.

wouldn't necessarily maim / kill / pay a small fortune to get another pair of those nowadays, but those are the skate shoes i have the fondest memories of. they were the first skate shoes i ever bought for myself as a kid with birthday money that weren't cheap vans / converse / even tennis shoes from chain sporting goods store (small town upbringing, closest skateshop had to be two hours away, no money for the real deal back when shoes were averaging 120 euros in the very early 2000's, no internet sales back then etc...). got them not too long after WHL came out and was really stoked on eS back then, they had the most amazing roster and now they had pj ladd. anyway those accel plus' managed to endure over three months of daily skateboarding, felt amazing, and i remember wearing them to a hotel around the time i was seeing my first girl so i must have had some good times in them in general. colorway may look funky & outdated by now but back then i was convinced the whole picture was the epitome of a proper skate shoe so fuck that !

Again, had these in the black and white colour but these always looked brilliant with the one colour toe. And nostalgia aside, I think these would probably still be feasible to skate in, even with the big air pocket in the heel the forefoot was surprisingly good for board feel.
(http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/t_article_image/tgj4o93g3l6n7sqhr8ay.jpg)

I had this colorway but always wanted that red toe. Still do, actually. I remember the guy at my local calling them the ugliest shoes he'd ever seen, and him needing to have them because of that.

I wish dc brought back the back the boxer instead of the syntax it was
Far more skateable imo I quite liked them..

Those Dyrdeks were were really good I had the black and than the white
I had those Colin McKay 3’s aswell in all black.

The clocker was a weird shoe never skated those they were kinder the price point
Dc at the time however they got strangely appealing when there was footage of penny skating all
Brown ones even tho he was on es.. I guess some people thought they were his usual
Brown accells..

Off topic but Tom penny never skated in timberland “brand” boots ever

Oh man, that photo is crisp, and that colorway. I'd hop on the Creager reissue train, but es has fucked most of their reissues and I think this one requires precision because of how skateable it was despite having quite a few panels and an air bubble.

Nike SB: FC "fret click" zoom air.

Recently found the Brazil colorway, pretty happy about it but these are special.

I wish dc brought back the back the boxer instead of the syntax it was
Far more skateable imo I quite liked them..

Those Dyrdeks were were really good I had the black and than the white
I had those Colin McKay 3’s aswell in all black.

The clocker was a weird shoe never skated those they were kinder the price point
Dc at the time however they got strangely appealing when there was footage of penny skating all
Brown ones even tho he was on es.. I guess some people thought they were his usual
Brown accells..

Off topic but Tom penny never skated in timberland “brand” boots ever
Based on that old ad, the boxer def looks more skateable than the syntax but I have the reissue syntax and they skate perfectly.

Begged my grandfather for these when i was like 14, till he finally gave in and grabbed them for me. Shredded them to death that summer and learned a bunch of tricks, would like a pair to keep in the box just to remember hanging out with him that summer.

Bro I’m in agreement. I would do sick things for a pair of Koston 3s. Always wanted some back in the day and never got to pick up a pair. I really hope Es does a reissue like they did with the Scheme (now called the Silo).

The Scheme and Silo are two different shoes. The reissued the Scheme and then they used the same sole to do the Silo.

nike decon dunk hi
gx1000 cons jack purcells
AA authentic hi

don't understand the hype with dunks and don't fuck with that reseller shit, but I've always wanted a pair to try out, raffles and stuff like that really put me off of getting them to skate though, which defeats the purpose of buying them imo.
