This may sound stupid but are the air max janoskis and kostons meant for skating or for running?
[close]
I saw some kook trying to skate in some Janoski Maxes a few months back and had a wee chuckle to myself.

I wouldn't recommend try to do either of them while wearing them to be honest. Air Maxes aren't even proper running shoes right?
[close]

Air maxes are arguably the most popular running shoes of all time.

I have the prod7 hyperfuse with the same airmax sole and they're great for walking around in so I imagine the janoski air maxes's would be solid. I'd still say just get some roshes for $50 cheaper at the mall or some shit if you REALLY tryna get some shoes especially for running. if you wanna skate em tho I'd say get the LUNAR janoski's instead
[close]
Roshe runs are miserable running shoes. Absolutely miserable for the actual act of running. Great for just kicking around in. But bad for the feet when running. They aren't structured correctly


If you look at the reviews on Nike's website you see all sorts of complaints from people who tried running in Roshes only to have the uppers blow out. Nike's official response is "despite the name, these shoes are not meant for running."

I tried playing indoor football (soccer) in my Roshes and rolled my ankle about 30 seconds into the game.

I've had problems with my kickflips ever since.
you know you can get laid, see music, socialize, talk shit, and not be a nazi at the same time right?

2:14. although i still wouldn't say they're "meant" for skating, i guess this is proof that they're not bad for it.

Nike Free SB:


I'm not sure about the look of them...  ???
And that sole is not really well designed... There should be rubber bellow the big toe and in the heel drag zone, they're big abrasion points!

I am surprised they didn't do the Kanye treatment and had glow in the dark soles with pink highlights. Gum seems almost odd for basketball shoes. I am sure there will be more colorways where that came from though.

Those Frees are disappointing.

I can't wait for the Koston Huarache. Already ordered the black ones thorough my shop. I hope they fixed everything I hated about the Koston 2 or I'm done with Nike SB forever.

What didn't you like about the Koston 2? I love them to skate in. Actually my current go to. Super snug fitting and the heel lock is a vice. IMO the only drawback is that they aren't completely skate ready out of the box (a little stiff) and the soles need a some kicking around town.

I just put a pair of Bruins into skate rotation. Was surprised to see the tongue setup on the Bruin is similar to the Koston 2. It's sort of integrated into the shoe on the sides, almost like a web, if that makes any sense.

The Bruins were amazing. Best heel lock of any shoe. It's a shame the ankle material blew out on me from flip tricks and whatnot. 

The Koston 2 was wayyyy too tight on the forefoot and the toes was a little too bulky for my foot shape. The Etnies Highlight was a much better executed "snug skate slipper style" shoe than Nike ever did. That's why I'm looking forward to the new Kostons, they're basically the same but better looking.

Highlights could be the best skate shoe from today if they had a rubber outsole in forefoot and in the heel (like the aventas)!

I'm also curious about how the lunar Janoskis skate.

also, are the Janoski max's comfortable?  or are the Roches (sp?) a better walking around comfortable shoe?

Both the Lunar Janoskis and Lunar one shots skate good. The suede Janoskis are my personal preference. Imagine a normal janoski with more comfort.
As far as just walking around, Roshes are really comfortable and cheap. Cant really go wrong there. However if you still feel like having a skate inspired chill shoe, you're paying double but putting money back into the pockets of someone who skates.
