I’ve retired shoes for far less.[close]
Like what? I am genuinely curious[close]
Tongues not staying centered.
Laces coming untied too easily.
Sweat through a suede shoe and when it dried the materials looked all weird on half the shoe.
I rode the same shoe for a while, just got tired of them one day and went and bought something new.[close]
roll an ankle = that pair goes bye-bye[close]
If I roll an ankle in a shoe its going right to the trash.
On the other end if I land something that I am extremely hyped on I might retire them as well On some "I'll probably never do a better trick than that in these"[close]
Really hope my sarcasm-meter is off today, because that's some of the dumbest shit I've read on hear in a while.
Do you mount/bronze it or some shit? Do you also stop riding the board and make it a wall hanger because the board was involved as well? with a plaque that reads: "landed a decent kickflip 05/28/24"[close]
I'm not talking mediocre tricks. I have a pair of Janoskis in the garage from a session where I KF back smithed a 10 rail. Not bronzed or mounted, just in a plastic bin.
I also did't pay for product from like 06-22 so it was a lot easier to finish a session and be like "yup those are done". And yes I do have boards in the garage that I landed meaningful tricks on or skated on memorable trips.[close]
Hanging the board, when it's toast, in a garage or some shit, maybe I can get behind but not a freshie the trick is landed on.
Do you just run out and buy another of the same shit you just shelved (because it's THAT GOOD)? Or simply one off it and get other gear that might not live up to what you just trophied? If you don't what's so special about THOSE shoes? Huh? Skill+luck let you land it not the fucking shoes.
Medicore, amazing, whatever, hoarding shoes specifically, because you landed a trick, is fucking stupid. They're shoes.[close]
Again. I didn’t buy boards, wheels or shoes for almost 20 years. It wasn’t every trick I landed, just ones that seemed special in the moment.
Not sure what has you so spun up over what someone else does? We’re literally talking about maybe 6 pairs of shoes over 25 years.
The other hundreds of pairs of shoes either went in the trash or to groms or homies that needed them.
I also retired a pair of air max’s I was wearing when I got the phone call my grandfather passed away.
Your same sentiment toward shoes could be implemented to any collectible that people are interested in. Like someone’s first college home run ball. It’s just a baseball and you’ll hit more home runs.
He's never kf back smithed a 10 rail and is just having a hard time accepting that, and understanding all of the implications of doing something memorable.

« Last post by kneebone on Today at 05:13:47 PM »It’s actually synthetic suede, and yeah these are in the adidas “lifestyle” line, not intended as skate shoes.They used the same quality of suede as their skateboarding line, but the shoes are just skate-inspired chillers. Like you said, the sole pattern is a giveaway.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteIs that thing skateable tho?[close]
Can't tell. I'd say 'not likley' based on the mesh and the sole pattern (but hey the Aloha skates ok with it's kooky sole)[close]
I thought about getting a pair, but I passed out. By the time I woke up, the discounts were thankfully deactivated.
