Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[tuesday]

Thunder medium bushings. The light blue ones. Like 'em.

[Uncle Flea]

I'm kind bummed on the AVEs. I had to glue them already and I haven't even seshed really.

IDK man. I hope to get the entire summer out of them but it's already looking bleek.

God damn Skeezah Sneakers. I felt so good in them too.

I should have just bought the Chukka boots at $95 

It's not frickin fair.

(Die quick and quiet I will)

Uma 8.38 that im very much into after one sesh. Nice and mellow pointy kicks(lowkey almost feels twin compared to my previous few decks).

Bones xformula 54mm wide cut. Trying something diff. Feel good after one sesh but need to break them in Hella.

I frequently feel as though I am the only person who both likes these shoes and has good luck with them.

i always have it in mind to get a new pair, it’s been a few years since i’ve had them.
if i could only wear one shoe, i could do most of my shoe wearing activities in the ave. not my favorite looking shoe, by any means, but for me, highly functional. said it several times, but i’ve run in them, with no issues, and they lasted well for me skate wise.
i wish they could make them look less….xero shoes. i’ve liked some of the color ways, the mono color schemes worked the best for me.
if vans could do the impossible and make an authentic that lasted longer than a day of skating, that wasn’t a violent crime for my feet, i’d be all in. the last skate shoe i probably liked the look of, on myself, was a pair of julien’s authentics. long ago. i’m too old and fat for that kinda shit now.
anyways, everyone hates in the aves, and i think they skate super well and my feet didn’t get as gross and sweaty.




i’ve got a fucked up toenail from getting stepped on in soccer, looks terrible, for the last ten years. that cancer callout had me shook

[Lukabrazi]

bought a quartersnacks hat. solid purchase

How much though?

[TheCrimsonShroud]

Love Crailtap from this initial experience. I asked for a twin tail and their mellowest shape in the May in Maybe box and they delivered. Only a few days to get here too.

The fuckin Ave shoe is dying.

Mad holes the frickin Ollie guard is too low.

Tomorrow I'm going to slather it in shoe goo and hope they last till the first of next month

Damn

yeah. definitely not a durable shoe IMO. feels like it could rip at any moment when wearing from day 1.

honestly you would probably like the nb 440. breaks in great, durable, feel like those would last you a while. or maybe we need to get the AS-1

[TwisT]

2 sets of drkrm wheels

54mm 99a (ignore the sticker

more interestingly 50mm 95a. I got a ray barbee shape that I'm hoping will be an interesting ride. Wide board with small soft wheels.

[Candied cigarettes]

Hyped on both of these.

If you want long lasting shoes then modern Vans are not too high on the list. They might outlast LR or Cons vulcs, but they're just not durable. I'm not hard on shoes and I'll get a month out of a pair tops.

The 440 sole wears kinda faster than ideal but I think that's an update for V2. The nice thing about them is the lows are always on sale. I went through the mental gymnastics of them not matching the aesthetics of what I would normally wear but after my first pair and how much better my joints felt I really stopped caring.

[switchfakie]

i bought 10 bbs blanks from one of the links shared in the sale thread. im gonna report back in after skating 2-3

Which shapes did you get?

If they sell shovel nose / FA shapes that aren't overly steep this could be interesting, off the catalog looks like the 8.0 - 8.5 will be the standard BBS dimensions / shapes.

[Dooky-shoes]

Grabbed the jimmy Wilkins race car board. Its 7.78 and 32.5, I think. A little skinnier and longer than I usually ride. Haven’t set it up for some reason, just doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies.

The 8.78 width, as in almost 9" wide board?

Only asking to clarify as there was a small version released too, for those who like the guy but only ride small boards.


On the bigger board, I was curious how the tail looked and felt, but with a 15 or something wheelbase on 32.5 I thought it would be a bit short compared to others of similar length but way shorter wheelbases.

Guessing it adds up ok when you look at it or stand on it though?

Grabbed this during the cowtown sale - been on a palace Austin Bristow video binge and Charlie birch is fucked up good. 8.5 32ish 14.5wb lovely full nose and a stubby tapered tail. Kinda reminds me of an anti hero shape I had back in the day.

[TheCrimsonShroud]

Had a tactics coupon and scooped up a pair of ace classic 55s for my shaped board. It’s 9.25 at the widest, but a tad under 9 on the tail holes and 9 on the dot up front. I’m stoked because I’ve wasted to try aces for a few years but always copped out and bought Indy

[ridethegutter]

Just got a pair of ace theories 44

[Cesspool86]

Got the hopps 7.8 and the glue 7.75 from my local. Both are flat but the glue is flat as hell.  The ishod is a true fit 8.06. I fuck with the tue fits heavily. The thunders go with the lil guys

[FUBAR]

Got a pair of Lakai Cambridges. Needed a break from stiff cupsoles. Felt broken in from the jump, which is nice. They also feel like they will last two weeks.

[fulfillthedream]

Got a pair of the ACE x Theories 44's and my third copy of Static I




I love the attention to detail on these ;

What make them TOA? Black baseplate and the thingy you showed on the photo? Curious if there's anything else

yo…how flat are talking?

i am on a glue 8.125 and i really like the shape. it’s flat, could be flatter.
the other board i ride is an 8.06 true fit, not flat. not really a fan, cuz it’s steeper, and just…i know bbs makes ‘better’ (longer lasting) boards, but it just doesn’t feel nice, and the pop is decent at best. 360 flips are a saving grace of the truefit
