I shit you not I gave an unworn pair of these to charity a few months back. Was given them by a Vans flow rider, I'd had them for so many years and they were just too small no matter how much I tried to stretch them out.

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


[close]
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.

Spot on man, where im living its got to the extent to which 12 year old girls are wearing them. I know the not quite Janoskis you're on about pretty sure they're called the "satire"

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

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



[close]

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.

I couldn't tell too much of a difference between the Emerica and Supra ones, but that was so long ago that I can't really remember too well.  I liked both though.  And I was upset that I wasn't able to get the Double E's in that colorway.  I had the black/white/black ones.

I loved these shoes:



I just cut out the extra stuffing from the tongue.  I blew out my first pair and tried a pair of etnies Taylors and bought a second pair of AV3s as soon as I could.  I was pissed that they took them out of production by the time I needed another pair.  The sole was great too.  It was a perfect mix between cup and vulc.  I don't know why Vans doesn't use it on more shoes.

THESE.  Fallen was supposed to reissue them as the "1995" or something like that.  They were in a catalog and everything but never actually came out.

I could see myself still skating in the first No Skools.

Shoes I didn't get to try but would like to? Emerica MJs, Koston 2s and Rowley Slims.

Wasn't a fan of those AV cupsoles. Stiff and crumbling sole.

I had a pair of the mountain editions, they looked pretty cool but I never really enjoyed skating them to be honest.
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

Vans should give the J-Lay the Rowley pro lite treatment and release them. The J-Lay was a pretty underrated shoe, but not as underrated as Dollins last shoe.

i loved the Rowley Slims too, Fork. they sat in my closet from 2005 until 2011, until i finally skated them. i hated that suede piece in the heel, but that shoe might be the best i've ever had.

AXION mariano:
This colorway. I had 'em when I was around 16 years old. Very hard to fin around here and I had to get them through a dude who was sponsored by them back then...



DC rudy Johnson:
Simple. I still like this shoe. I'd still rock them.



DC LYNX:
I went nuts when these came out. They shoud make these. Exactly the same, no adapted versions. Just THIS.

I actually have a pair of these left (same color) that I never skated in and still wear them all the time.  Great shoes and good for skating too.  They were kind of expensive though and they don't sell them by me.

Yep every Ross and Last Chance around here had pairs of the black/gum Manchesters. Scooped up as many as I could.

Loved the Rowley Specials although they needed a bit of super glue on the seams. They had a wider toe box which was awesome. And the ad with Geoff doing that ollie over those shipping containers stacked 3 or 4 high was bonkers

Some of my early favourites - along with the MJ1 and one of Tyrone Olson's Osiris shoes that I couldn't find. I loved the skate shoe era when they were hideous and bulky but before the ridiculously fat/tech phase really took off. Although I probably wouldn't wear them now.

I had these and they were fucking perfect. I made a top ten list a while back. I really miss the Trooper from Fallen. I never had a pair of the MJ II, but I think it's time for a reissue.

There was a Circa Muska shoe I really wanted when I was younger. It was white/red. The red went right over the toes. But I can't find a name or picture. Any ideas?
