I'm not going into the shoes thread for this, but does anyone know the basic difference between a Busenitz and a Busenitz RX? Please and thank you.
I’ve owned and skated both. I found the original Busenitz need to be sized at least half size up from your normal size while the rx’s fit true to size.
The sole on the rx’s remind me of a really exaggerated boat show. They are actually too grippy at first especially if you skate mob grip. It’s a weird complaint, but the bottoms of the sole feel almost like they are velcro’ed on, which you might or might not like.
Rx’s are also mostly a cheap-feeling synthetic/vinyl material (shoe aficionados could probably correct me), with suede only around the toe and ollie area, which is really the only place you need it.
I’d say the original Busenitz are a little higher quality but the rx’es aren’t bad. I like how the rx’s look a bit more than the originals, for what it’s worth.
