Shoes you wish were still made

They're weird looking but I remember seeing them at the skate shop as a kid and they were only shoes priced at $125.

Oh em gee, those shoes were awesome. I had them in all brown. The moment I saw them I knew I had to have them. Took some doing to convince my mom to spend $90 on shoes, but I was persistent, and they were mine.

these more than anything

came here to post this

Emerica Herman 2
eS Square One and Square 2
original Adidas Campus Vulcs before all of the noticeable changes were made

Lakai Mike Mo --- these were one of the best shoes I ever skated, and I really only bought them because my shop didn't have the (at the time) new Reynolds Classics in my size.

[max power]

i loved those ellingtons. Best looking and performing shoe for the time IMO. I had the all brown ones, black and white leather, and all black ones. I even bought a pair when they switched the shoe over to Supra. Something about the Supras weren't right though. The premium suede blew out in under a week and this was a time in my life where skate shoes lasted at least a month and a half to two months

I always wanted the Vans Mountain Editions when they came out. The high tops looked sick, and the low tops even sicker. The rowley slims were amazing once you got past the heel blisters/the back of your heel rubbing raw from the oddly placed suede piece. What was the name of that last Jim Greco Vans shoe that looked like a loafer with a cupsole? Those were awesome

[MOE SYZLAK]

The Rowley Slims! almost forgot about that one. perfect flick and board feel, came in a shit load of colors too had about 4 pairs. was pretty bummed that the rowley squares that came afterwards sucked so much

Yea, I had the emerica elligtons in brown, also had the supra ones, which were basically the same shoe, with a supra logo, I know what u mean about the supra ones, they were off in a way. The Greco shoes your talking about, were called the "escobars" I had them in that weird green/black leather color way, they were actually really good for skating.

[gaunting]

Wish I was skating when these came out, would have bought multiple pairs.

[AssBandit]

i wouldnt buy anything else if they still made this shoe. it is easily the best shoe ive had performance/comfort/looks

i second that, and raise you these.

Those are like polar opposites. The first ones will rip in 4 days and the second ones will last you 2 months.

my friend just bought a pair of these from a Vans store in my local mall.. Either they're just an old pair or they're still making them somewhere

I think I was the only person who liked the adidas Silas pro, but I loved these shoes.

[dillanharp]

I never understood this shoe. At the time the market wasn't there for 2 super similar shoes. It's just a half cab with slightly different paneling and lace protectors. Don't get me wrong, they're awesome, I always wanted a pair.  It's too bad these were out at a time in my life when I didn't pay for my shoes.

Limited sizes left and UK prices but there still out there.

I could name so many shoes I wish were still in production but mostly for me it's colourways.

I regret not getting this original busenitz colourway when it first came out



Also this janoski colourway (I don't know about the US but in the UK hipsters have ruined janoskis

[Life Fast Johnny]

Unfadable with the correct pants.

Nearly every time I'm on the tube I'll see some Dalston hipster wearing Janoski's and I'll glance at both shoes and sure enough no griptape marks anywhere to be seen bu they're faded from wear. This is what happens when Nike Town starts selling them. Plus I've noticed a few "not quite Janoski" styles Nikes in the window of Footlocker and Jd Sports.
