Fuck no. Anyone who wears 11.5 and is shopping for the classics (OG Lucas White, Black, and black/white, OG Boozentits Red, OG Silas Aluminum, All the Nestor Adiease, and German Boozentits ADV. Some are like new, some are skated) Hit me up. I'm selling my whole archive. I would prefer a bulk sale before I go to ebay individually.

I bought the white leather Busenitz because I refuse to let the politics of the skateboard industry to interfere with me being fly as fuck at all times.

Edit. I bought them last Wednesday

[trillytrill]

It didn't though, it just made MJ look bad. All Adidas did was sign a new rider, which they did. MJ was the one who dealt with it poorly.

i wonder how that went at adidas. they had to know he was under contract already? did marc tell them he got out of it which he hadn't? did they tell him it didn't matter and their lawyers would handle the complications?

Never been a fan of their shoes and never will. Poorly made in my opinion. I mean if you compare them to Nike I don't think they're even in the same ball park. My friends flow for them and his are always getting blown out in the worst way. This whole MJ vs MC debate is just another reason why I will never had them over my money.

[givecigstosurfgroms]

  I'd recommend Vans over Nike or adidas.  Can't see why real skaters ever bought Nikes (or adidas for that matter) can't fathom it.

[violentpizza]

Because vans are poorly made shit bags and adidas and Nike can be found on sale easily

Haven't tried those yet but definitely want to eventually.  Also thinking of half sizing down and giving the silas another go

I recently bought the Adidas x Altimers track jacket right before the Daewon and MJ news. Haven't bought a pair of shoes ....yet. I'm considering it but skate wise I'm still stuck on the Emerica Figgys and thinking of either getting the Hsu's or Reynolds cupsoles next.

vans gas heritage but are owned by a big mega corp too. sole tech is one of the only independent larger skate footwear companies.

for what its worth, luca's first pro shoe on adidas was hands down the best shoe ive ever skated and i wish they never stopped making it. durable as hell and feather light.

As someone who's skated multiple pairs of different models of each, I can tell you you're definitely wrong on that.

Lol.  You all are really ridiculous. 

Did all of you boycot vans when their star rider broke his back and instead of covering his costs they had him begging online for donations to help with transport back to the US?  I found that much more egregious than any corpo shoe co moves, but maybe I'm just out of touch.

I agree with you about Cards, but on the other hand, talking shit about what you don't know is kinda the premise of this whole message board, for better or worse.

Fuck Vans for discontinuing the gel insoles. Fuck adidas for constantly discontinuing the best shoes and running a shitty premiere where I got treated like an asshole by their idiotic event staff. Then this fiasco happened.

And I will talk shit about whatever fucking company I want to. I wear Nike and New Balance because they work for me. Every Lakai I've owned so far has been defective, despite me trying to sincerely support them for years. The new models look sick though.

[violentpizza]

Fuck Adidas for making Gipper all upset

[Eric ricks]

Fuck Adidas for making Gipper all upset

Id be fuckin pissed too if I skated all the way to the premier only to realize my vehicle was parked outside the event.

That's laughable. Adidas needs to atleast give the shoes that they take a little risk on the design more than season or two to gain some traction. Too many great shoes vanish. We all better hop on the new lucas before its dropped by next summer.

[andocom]

I loved the OG Lucas but didn't anyone else find once the stitching around the toe cap wore it blew out easily, apart from that I loved them, fit and weight wise.

[Atiba Applebum]

Yeah but they sold out before it wasn't cool to sell out.
