Grabbed a pair of matchcourt slip on today to give slips another go.  So far so good they fit my wide ass feet well

The midtop kind?  Got a pair during that crazy Adidas sale this summer.  Can’t see how anyone skates in them.  The they sawed into the back of my Achilles and the toe cap fucked with my flick really badly.  Maybe it’s just me though.

Nah the normal lows.  Dude at the shop skated the mids a while back and he had the same experience as you.  Said they rubbed the back of his leg raw and cut into him

matchcourt basically takes anything that Adidas SB did right up until this point and throws it out the window

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

did you go with your usual size? I see them on sale online all the time so I’ve been thinking about giving them a try.

I did go my normal size.  So far they fit ok and I hope they don't loosen too much.  I'd probably try to try them on first

Not too stoked on the colourway but at half price they were worth a punt.

Do it, you'll be so much happier a half size down, the heel lock is way better and that massive toebox hugs your foot a little bit better.

100% yes. Half size down fits me perfectly in the Suciu I and II. The heel slippage was out of control when I tried my usual size in both.

Just got the Magenta x State collab shoe in every colorway, so stoked. I remember a lot of people asking about the availability of said model (or State shoes in general) in Europe, well the Magenta website just got them and they ship worldwide. Apparently they've got tons of them in stock too. That's at least one step towards proper European distribution.

Damn, they've got a lot of nice looking shit. And a big collection. I fuck with Magenta. I used to skate their boards only for several years.

My local shop in Finland also has a bunch of States in stock, including blue and red Magenta Albanys.

I know they at least used to ship worldwide. No idea what it’ll cost though.

^That's tight, just realized Magenta offered free shipping worldwide for the rest of the week too, so that's even more of a good deal for anybody trying to get the shoes and try them out.

I have another 10 pairs of Reynolds in the box. I might be going overboard. But just can't stop myself when I find a pair for cheap.

Very nice! I just ordered 4 pairs from Emerica with the Black Friday deal, 50% off! When those arrive I'll have 7 pairs waiting.  :)

The white ones look fucking great, especially when dirty! 👍

Syntax Dc, I’ll probably start skating them in a week or two.
First impression is they are comfy and slightly snug but in a good way. Seems like the toe is gonna have decent board feel but the heel is really thick.

I don't know how much you usually pay for them, but you can get another pair on adidas.com for $37.10.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

state x tkfs after about a month of skating.



impressions; really comfy shoes in general, insoles provide decent cushioning but dont compromise boardfeel. suede feels good, shape of the shoe is decent and flicks well. bottom lace loops take a beating but not too bad, on the third lace this month.

construction wise ehh; mine blew out a little bit on the lace loops which isn't too bad however my friend whos skating the same pair diff colourway also blew out on the seam itself within a week leading to a pretty huge crevice on the side of the shoe as you can see here - small picture from insta screengrab but its a pretty huge hole and he reckons it's made the shoe feel alot floppier than it should be:



overall i'd say if you can get them on sale like we did maybe check them out but i probably wouldnt wanna pay full price for em (the salems anyway, cant comment on any other State models)

holy shit that's in one month? I've been skating the exact same model as yours most every day for over two months, I skate pretty hard and in ways that can be particularly hard on the shoes (impossibles, etc.) and my shit isn't nearly as beat up, in fact it's still looking almost brand new. How did you even get to destroy part of the ollie pad? It looks indestructible on mine, and is reassuring to have because when you look down on your feet and you see it you just know no ollie or kickflip hole is going to start forming anytime soon.

started skating in them around mid-september, I'm goofy and didn't vacuum:

I wish these fit me right, got two pairs and had to give one away, my heel wouldn't lock down but it was still tight fitting... idk

I thought I was going to get that the first time I put those shoes on, heels were feeling a bit loose so I just laced both shoes literally all the way up and pretty tight (I need my laces tight for skating anyway) and skated them like that for a while. Now the laces are ripped and barely serve any purpose, but the shoes still fit snugly around my feet.

i honestly have no idea how the fuck i've went through the ollie pad like that, or the shoes in general as i know for a fact you're probably doing considerably more flip tricks than me on a daily basis, i think the stitching on it got a little fucked up first and then it probably just wore down that way. with it being carpark/flatground season due to weather i have been playing multiple games of skate so thats probably why mine have wore down a shit ton more, still an interesting differential - though i will say i'd hazard a guess that theyll atleast last me until into the new year  :D
