Yes.  In 1992.  I got them from a soccer outlet for $13.  They were worth it.  Magenta/white, if you're wondering.
I'm posting from my blackberry wtf?!?!?

I skated in the skate versions that came out when Adidas revamped their team and started taking skating seriously.  I loved them.  One of my favorite shoes in terms of looks and function.  The tread definitely wore down really fast, but I thought they were still grippy.  I wish I would have stocked up on some more pairs.

one of my first skate-clothing purchases was a C-Fit long sleeve polo.. it was a large but fit like an XXXL.  I had just started skating and needed to get the look down as quickly as possible.  I'm not proud of it but wish I had a picture of myself wearing it.
