One of the best looking shoes i had but one of the worst i skated... Bought them when first came out. Was all hyped with this new thing, the wafflecup, and they looked so great + chima colorway, had to buy it. But fuck, it was such a let down. 1st i had to buy half size up to my feet fit in, and thought they were still a little tight, but in the end they stretched so much that i could go down 1 full size. They dug into my achilles, the insole was pure garbage, flatten out in about 2 weeks. The sole gone bald in no time and then it cracked like i havent seen in any other shoe. The inner material was terrible, some kind of canvas that ripped of and rubbed the shit out of my fingers... Oh and they were hot, like REALLY HOT! i dont get lots of sweat stains in shoes but in these they were always there, it was like a microwave shoe.

I think you got a bad pair. Had the same ones and they were amazing. Everything quality. Super hard to rip through anything. Skated them for  a total of like 3 months, I would say. Hurt my knee and had to have surgery, to come back to these and skate again. My feet were super hot in them also. My only complaint.

I did have a pair from a different season and they changed the materials a little so they didn't hold up as well. They were garbage.

I had the black suede/gum ones from their first run. So good. I loved that shoe. Pretty much good outta the box. Don't think the tread lasted very long though.

Yeah i had them for about 3/4 months, 1 or two of chilling in them, but then i'm not a shoe destroyer at all. I skated like 3 times a week, 4 at best at the time. A good shoe last me atleast 5 months skating! But yeah they had good things too. The suede was great, couldnt get any holes or major damage in it, and the shoe shape was nice and had a good flick. Plus, the style points were high in these, chicks loved them! I actually filmed one of my best tricks in them ahahaha

I actually still have a brand new pair of the Fallen Chiefs that I have yet to skate. I bought the shoe out of nostalgia, and it's one of my favorite shoes of all time. Still haven't decided if I should skate them or not

Same here. I bought some Midtop Chiefs about a year ago, because they were mad cheap. When I got them, I was in shock how puffy they are, I remeber them as some of the slimmer shoes from that era. They are vulc, so I dont know if I can skate them, but they are for sure way different than I remembered them.

Wait what's wrong with the Reynolds cruisers? I always wanted a pair and since they re-printed them they've become a serious choice.

RIGHT?! What's with that?? I had girls really like them too. Maybe because not a lot of guys were wearing maroon shoes?? I don't know...

I'd have a girl over and she would wonder why I have so many pairs of shoes and she would be like,"I like these ones". Random...

I had the same colorway and they skated great.  Maybe circa just made them shitty and JT fixed them when he made fallen.

i always wanted those for some reason.

also the reynolds cruiser was one of my least favorite shoes ever. prolly cuz i started skating them after 10 pairs of chukka lows. the sole felt way too high in comparison.

Anybody remember these?? Super popular when I first started skating in 2001 in my area. Everybody had them. Main reason I wanted them cause they were "cool". Something goes for the Osiris D3 2000. That mind set changed real quick within the first 6 months of skating.

Never had them, but I can't imagine they were too good. They just look uncomfortable.

i made out with some girl who had these in 8th grade. i checked her facebook and she looks like a recovering addict..

I bought a pair of Huf Ramondettas and Peppers last year on Plndr. The Ramondettas were absolute garbage. Didn't even bother with the Peppers.

I wanna try the Peppers.
Im skating peppers at the moment. They feel (and look) a lot like campus vulcs. Wouldnt be able to give you an accurate life span though because i generally only skate once a week and usually not very hard, so they have lasted a while for me.

Really liked these imagewise. I had them for 2 months for walking only. Then I put them on for skating and in a week of skating the plastic that supports the back of the heel broke which resulted in torn suede on the back of my heels. The torn suede goes all the way from sole to the upper end of shoe, and of course the crack on plastic means that my shock is visible. I patched it with shoe goo and seems to hold and then after 5 sessions the plastic broke in another two places on the back of the heel resultin to torn suede AGAIN. I patched them too... Shitty shoes.

The first run of original e's Koston 1's had a bad habit of blowing out the air bubble.  All my friends with liquid income bought into them and all of them ended up cursing their purchase soon after.
