Currently skating the Converse KA-One Vulc with Lunarlon and GOD DAMN this shoe is incredible - it's just like the Trapasso II, but a bit more padded in the tongue and collar and with less stitching.

yes, they are sooo good.  just beware that when the star logo blows off it allows the whole side seam to open up.


I don't know why Converse doesn't do the seamless heat logo thing like the ADV stripes or Koston 2 swoosh.  The KA-II's have a recessed star logo thing, but it is still going to be the place where the shoe gets destroyed.  It's frustrating that the shoes have such an obvious weak spot, especially when so good otherwise.

hardly art, hardly starving

Busenitz vulcs.  I wasn't too big of a fan when I got them, but the day they broke-in I couldn't have been happier.  I would like to try a pair of Mike Mo's sometime soon after hearing some fantastic things about them as well.  And besides the busenitz's, the Gonz slip is a heavy hitter in my book.  Plain and simple, but performs extremely well.  Only beef with this shoe is for the first two-three days the upper edge of the tongue digs into your foot but soon it loosens up and all is well

Lucas' Adidas shoe is probably the best shoe I've ever skated.

This.  I'm skating the Adidas Gonz right now and it's great, but Lucas' shoe is perfect.
How long does the tread last on the Gonz? It seems kind of iffy just from looking at it

Campus vulc hi.....super good....suede is wearing nicely.....only complaint is I wish that one seam at the side didn't go all the way down.... Id rather have the toe all one piece....

Can someone tell me how well the Emerica Troubadours and Emerica Laced Leos skate? I've been thinking of buying a pair of both but the Troubadours look like they'll tear within a day

Best shoes ever. I wonder if they're selling well thou, havn't seen too many people wearing them, and all colors seem to be on sale on ccs at least.





These are the most solid vulcs I've skated, but could've had better grip



Just got the Lucas  along with the lakai Marc's stoaked on both

I have the laced leo's with waxed suede right now and they're some of my favorite shoes I've skated; really good grip, good flick, and they're really durable for a thinner shoe

Busenitz Vulc... sole got a bald spot but damn they're good and grippy, and the toe is just amazing.

Has anyone ever skated a pair of Puma Suede's? I skated a regular pair of Adidas Sambas a couple years ago and really liked them, I imagine the Suede's would hold up a lot better because of the material.

I was skeptical about the soles on the gonz too because they seem pretty similar to the soles on the busenitz vulc (which suck) but I ended up getting around a month and a half out of them

Skate High and era pro. The Skate high is rad, affordable, classic, and will always be available. And that's what John Fitzgerald skates. Sold.n Now Vans just needs to make a black and white all suede skate high, make it a classic, and I'd be quite stoked.

Hows the insole on these? Being non-skate shoes i would imagine they dont have a good insole, but i really wanna skate a pair.

Been skating these Emerica Leo's for a while now, some of the best shoes I've had lately, really good suede and super grippy. noticed that they're pretty much the same type of silhouette as the Puma's
