Saw this in the Nike or Adidas thread and LOL'd. How about we get a thread where we post pics of shitty skate shoes. Not necessarily based on performance, but stuff that sells to the non-skateboarding market and other abortions.

True, tried skating in a pair and was one of the worst shoes EVER.
I've only kept the Wu Welsh Newport ones that I got on sale.

When I was in middle school I was obsessed with these shoes. I wanted them for so long. To this day I think they are one of the best looking shoes ever. When I finally got a pair after months and months of waiting I started skating them and these giant bubbles formed in the sole. It was like some layer of glue between the base of the shoe and the sole was really shitty and came apart and let air in. I exchanged my pair at the store cause it was a legit defect. The new pair i got did the same thing but I wanted to skate the shit out of them so bad that I popped the bubble on the sole and threw a bunch of super glue on the puncture wound to patch it up. Still bummed on these shoes after all these years...

Did anyone ever get a chance to skate the emerica cruisers?? i remember that being one of the only shoes that i just couldn't get used to. Ive always loved all the emericas i've tried (The hsus, original laced, reynolds vulc, Figgys,) but i remember being really underwhelmed with that shoe, it was ridiculously slippery and couldn't really skate at all with it.

I had these too. I picked them up really cheaply because I was intrigued with the tech.
Holy shit were these things stiff. The airbag seemed to run the entire length of the sole giving you 0% board feel. The rubber upper was also really rigid. Pretty much impossible to skate.
Ended up wearing them to the gym but they were too uncomfortable, so I chucked them.

They were heavy and bulky, skated like garbage.. probably the thickest tongue I've ever seen. Super comfy off the board tho, I would pick up another pair just to lounge in

I had those and didn't have any defects. Got them on clearance at Zumiez, of all places. Out of all the Accel's I had, those were the best. Thick, quality leather. Last forever. Took me all summer and then some to finally retire them. Took a couple of sessions to break in though.

Old Picos before Lakai switched factories. I dont really fuck with vulc shoes, but these were mad cheap, so I bought them, because I was short on money. They turned to shit after 2 sessions, suede teared apart, almost looked like I used a knife on them.

The first Nike Tre was amazing. Mine lasted a year until a zoom airbag popped. Then i popped the other and threw Dunk insoles in.
The new GT Blazer is a soggy piece of shit and is only $10 bucks less than the former's retail price. Thanks, Nike!

I hated the shape of the toe box, it went up. Didn't feel right.
Also the heel was so high, skating in high heels or something.

one of my least favorite shoes I've had. Nowadays i would just give them away but at the time i had to skate thru how awful they were.
It seemed like the height of them was off if that makes any sense.

Felt cheap. It had the worst grip I've ever experienced. The toe box was weird and it just fell apart super fast. Laces ripped instantly. Just awful in every way.

Hated those fucking things. A few of my friends and my little brother all liked them though. I think maybe the problem was just the colorway I had. Maybe thats why ZEBRA says he liked his Zoom Air Teams but others hated them, idk. The orange color tre I had was a hard plastic that didn't flex at all. The ones my friends and brother had were softer and more rubber like. My brother skated his forever and loved them until he finally ripped through them. I gave him mine and he was blown away how shitty mine were compared to his. I think they are still in a closet somewhere. Moral of the story, Nike is all over the place with their shoe quality.

I like the more square toe boxes. I have a square foot and just recently in the last year noticed how much of a difference it makes when I get shoes that are more square.

Yeah, it had to have been just the pair you had. The 3 pairs I had took forever to wear out. Never had a problem with the grip, and only ripped a hole in one and it was in the toe. Just shoe gooed it and it was good to go.

I loved the Angus but there were more than a few poopy colorways. Also, the synthetic leather models took forever to break in.
All three of those Nike shoes had crazy padded insoles and the midsoles were also more substantial than most stuff on the market today. I loved that shit and it felt like you were buying a quality product unlike Nike SB circa now.

I bought a pair of Huf Ramondettas and Peppers last year on Plndr. The Ramondettas were absolute garbage. Didn't even bother with the Peppers.

DC village. Released years ago though. They had a thick rubber toe cap under super suede, thin and indestructible. As good as they were tho, you still saw two DC logos every time you looked down.

To be fair, those airwalks (protoype 540? 1080?) were made for vert/ knee sliding. Pretty sweet shoe esp. if you were coming from OG chuks or vision street wear. Great thread btw. I can think of lots but I guess I am looking at them from a functional point of view...
What about all the Airwalk NTS 2s and 3s that came out, I swear everyone at my high school was wearing them at one point ???

Anybody remember these?? Super popular when I first started skating in 2001 in my area. Everybody had them. Main reason I wanted them cause they were "cool". Something goes for the Osiris D3 2000. That mind set changed real quick within the first 6 months of skating.
Never had them, but I can't imagine they were too good. They just look uncomfortable.

czars no?
The guy that designed them talked about them quite a bit in an interview (that was recently re-posted on here).
I actually didn't mind that sole though (they used this sole on a few of their different models)

Not sure what they're called. Sole doesn't look bad. Rest of the shoe though?? Yes.

oh they were terrible and actually the definition of what this thread is all about (came in awful colorways too), them and the lo cut II's.
That sole though ... I had this brown canvas/ suede pair of shoes that looked like low cut hiking boots (smolik wore them in fulfill the dream i think) with rope laces and they were so dreamy <3 Anyone have any idea what model I'm talking about?
-
The entire nike sb thread.
It actually blows my mind they can still find colour combos for the janoski that haven't been done.
On a serious, and possibly controversial note my vote goes to the halfcab. They tore and wore through so quick, maybe they were lemons?

The Adidas Seely is a beautiful shoe but they never, I mean NEVER break in enough to be skated in.

Horrible shoes. No board feel and they never broke in. One of the worst shoes I've skated.

Same issue as the Circa's. Also they looked like clown shoes.

i looked for pictures of the Emerica Leed but could not find any. They looked Similar to the Ellington so i bought them, the grip wore away in a week, the sole was stiff and had the worst flick ever.

Bummer to hear. Those looks perfect.
I had some red leather ones around the same age you had your Motorheads. They were really good. I loved them. I wish the reissue didn't have such a pointy toe. Not feeling them.

THIS! Couldn't agree more. I tried the mids and the lows. Great looking shoe, but probably one of the least functional Adidas has ever made. The sole is unlike any other vulc I've ever had. Very stiff and slippery mess. Just an awful shoe.

two of the most shittiest pieces of crappy materials ever put together, the eaze was near perfect for 2 days but before that the sole got bald and ripped on the inside, i put some shoegoo but it was late and the telford was a mistake WORST SKATE SHOE EVER.

i looked for pictures of the Emerica Leed but could not find any. They looked Similar to the Ellington so i bought them, the grip wore away in a week, the sole was stiff and had the worst flick ever.
EDIT: it was actually the "Leen" found it

I think I remember those! Emerica also released this turd:

Wasn't the Felt trying to take the place of a pro shoe? Tosh's maybe?

I remember having these when I was about 15. They fell apart from just walking in about a month, I skated them maybe twice. And they were so fucking uncomfortable.
Bummer to hear. Those looks perfect.
I had some red leather ones around the same age you had your Motorheads. They were really good. I loved them. I wish the reissue didn't have such a pointy toe. Not feeling them.
OG rowleys were the best. Admittedly though they probably weren't meant for a 15 year olds learning flip tricks/ skate 7 days a week types, but then again what vans are?

Looks like they tried to have sex with their cousin too (i.e. the MJ1)

How is no one noticing this?? What one guy is calling the "Leen" is actually the "Felt. It says it right there.
These are the same Turds!!!
Also, I think the Felts predecessor was the Tilt. Or were they out at the same time?? Either way, I think the Felt was to replace the Tosh shoe. And the Tilt was wannabe MJ1.

these are the etnies scroll. my third skateboard shoe ever. I had wanted a pair of etnies so bad in 2001 that I settled for the only pair on sale at a surf shop while we were on vacation. I suffered through these for a VERY long time. They were indestructable.

I got these when they came out a couple years back and I was happy to support Jerry but these things sucked. For a vulc shoe they felt super stiff the whole time I skated them and never really broke in. Pretty bummed about them

Those did suck. Didn't Emerica use that same sole on another shoe? Might have been a mid-top. They were really stiff, kinda slippery. Felt impossible to skate in

I had some Sheckler 7's (from Ross) that were the "same" fusion sole. They sucked too.

One of the best looking shoes i had but one of the worst i skated... Bought them when first came out. Was all hyped with this new thing, the wafflecup, and they looked so great + chima colorway, had to buy it. But fuck, it was such a let down. 1st i had to buy half size up to my feet fit in, and thought they were still a little tight, but in the end they stretched so much that i could go down 1 full size. They dug into my achilles, the insole was pure garbage, flatten out in about 2 weeks. The sole gone bald in no time and then it cracked like i havent seen in any other shoe. The inner material was terrible, some kind of canvas that ripped of and rubbed the shit out of my fingers... Oh and they were hot, like REALLY HOT! i dont get lots of sweat stains in shoes but in these they were always there, it was like a microwave shoe.

I think you got a bad pair. Had the same ones and they were amazing. Everything quality. Super hard to rip through anything. Skated them for a total of like 3 months, I would say. Hurt my knee and had to have surgery, to come back to these and skate again. My feet were super hot in them also. My only complaint.
I did have a pair from a different season and they changed the materials a little so they didn't hold up as well. They were garbage.

Yeah i had them for about 3/4 months, 1 or two of chilling in them, but then i'm not a shoe destroyer at all. I skated like 3 times a week, 4 at best at the time. A good shoe last me atleast 5 months skating! But yeah they had good things too. The suede was great, couldnt get any holes or major damage in it, and the shoe shape was nice and had a good flick. Plus, the style points were high in these, chicks loved them! I actually filmed one of my best tricks in them ahahaha

Same here. I bought some Midtop Chiefs about a year ago, because they were mad cheap. When I got them, I was in shock how puffy they are, I remeber them as some of the slimmer shoes from that era. They are vulc, so I dont know if I can skate them, but they are for sure way different than I remembered them.

i always wanted those for some reason.
also the reynolds cruiser was one of my least favorite shoes ever. prolly cuz i started skating them after 10 pairs of chukka lows. the sole felt way too high in comparison.

Anybody remember these?? Super popular when I first started skating in 2001 in my area. Everybody had them. Main reason I wanted them cause they were "cool". Something goes for the Osiris D3 2000. That mind set changed real quick within the first 6 months of skating.
Never had them, but I can't imagine they were too good. They just look uncomfortable.
i made out with some girl who had these in 8th grade. i checked her facebook and she looks like a recovering addict..

Im skating peppers at the moment. They feel (and look) a lot like campus vulcs. Wouldnt be able to give you an accurate life span though because i generally only skate once a week and usually not very hard, so they have lasted a while for me.

Really liked these imagewise. I had them for 2 months for walking only. Then I put them on for skating and in a week of skating the plastic that supports the back of the heel broke which resulted in torn suede on the back of my heels. The torn suede goes all the way from sole to the upper end of shoe, and of course the crack on plastic means that my shock is visible. I patched it with shoe goo and seems to hold and then after 5 sessions the plastic broke in another two places on the back of the heel resultin to torn suede AGAIN. I patched them too... Shitty shoes.

The first run of original e's Koston 1's had a bad habit of blowing out the air bubble. All my friends with liquid income bought into them and all of them ended up cursing their purchase soon after.

Skating some Marana's right now, and not feeling them. Couldn't tell you why, they just aren't working for me.

Had these in royal blue and wore em without socks. They ended up stankin' so bad that during a long car trip my father made me put them in the trunk of the car. Bad shoe indeed.

I have some canvas ones and I can say they are STIFF! Want to chalk it up to break in time but I'm going to have to get back to you

Those rowley ones I bough for nostolgia, and they are without a doubt the worst shoes I've ever owned in my life. I stopped skating them after 2 weeks and threw them away because I didn't want to even look at them.

I got these when they came out a couple years back and I was happy to support Jerry but these things sucked. For a vulc shoe they felt super stiff the whole time I skated them and never really broke in. Pretty bummed about them
Those did suck. Didn't Emerica use that same sole on another shoe? Might have been a mid-top. They were really stiff, kinda slippery. Felt impossible to skate in
I had some Sheckler 7's (from Ross) that were the "same" fusion sole. They sucked too.
I second those Hsu 2's being awful. I remember those and, really, almost any Emerica shoe around that time that had a vulcanized sole got really shitty, like the soles got thicker, stiffer, and were made with a completely different type of rubber that wouldnt skate the normal way, and I was on a huge Emerica kick at that time.

Gotta wonder about them aye? There's something about them that doesn't feel quite right but is it nostalgia that's clouding my/ your judgement? Even just the upgrade in the insole alone should have made them amazing but there's still something missing ...
Wish I had an OG pair so that I could compare

I had a pair of these Vans Euclid, the shoe felt so floppy after skating them for 3 hours for and the foxing tape started to detach causing the sole to fall apart from the shoe after the second session. I think I may have just gotten a defective pair.

I loved the idea of the holes instead of the stripe and almost got them because of that. This kinda made me feel better about missing that opportunity.
