I know Karl Watson justified wearing leather shoes saying they last way long than most synthetic materials, so less shoes used means less waste.

for a pair of boots or a jacket maybe, but skate shoes ??? at the end of the day i don't think there's that much of a difference.
not hating on karl though, we all do what we can do to stop contributing to the madness. i personally avoid leather but i'm not gonna hate on people for wearing it while the meat industry still exists. if you're straight up killing an animal for leather though, that's on the same level as fur imo. besides, nike makes tonnes of synthetic shoes no (admittedly i have no clue as i've never owned a pair)?

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

yeah they do. I just got some Air Huaraches that are vegan leather, I have Janoski max and Roshe runs that are mesh. The new air max noire is synthetic suede. Asics just did an awesome vegan drop that i picked up. If you're into sneakers. Honestly, I do as much as I can. I eat completely vegan. But I buy eggs and cheese for my girlfriend and kids. Let the vegan police call me unethical, I know myself and my intentions.

yeah sorry, was trying to come across preachy/ vegan police-y. i agree with you though - do as much as you can, you will never be 100% cruelty free anyway. i've been doing this veg for 18 years now and while i won't go out of my way to eat it, there are occasions where i will eat dairy (mostly if i'm on a business trip and there's nothing else available). thanks for the shoe info. asics and saucony are on point at the moment with their vegan kicks. recently got a pair of these http://solehunters.de/de/detail/index/sArticle/503 too and they are pretty much perfect <3

This actually would be a nice looking shoe if it didn't have that damn hideous strap.

It would be a regular Koston 1 mid right?

That's exactly right. I just meant the color, it would be nice if Nike offered that exact light grey in the Koston Mid. That color looks really nice and they ruined it with that strap. I'm still not sure what functional purpose that strap serves.

How bad has the Janoski quality gotten? I haven't skated a pair since 2013, the Deep Atomic Teal color way, and they held up fine.

I've never skated the Janoski but I recently quit skating dunks. I love the shoe but I got sick of poor quality, non-breathing synthetic materials.

This plus it seems Nike have really hiked the prices up on them. You now have to get some $100 super pro dunk supreme to just get decent (normal) materials.

Basically, I thought fuck it and moved on to DC. A company that seems to make shoes for skating in. Lynx S are great and the Matt Miller have been good apart from their swamp foot.

Nike needs to sort its shit out. Really taking the piss lately.

Janoskis hold up really well. The sole will outlast the upper. It is still one of the longest lastina vulc shoes. I dont care about the leather laces. Laces will get thrashed anyways.
