Vegan skate shoes

What shoes are you skating at the moment? Having a shoe crisis

I've been skating the #NB 272 synthetics. They're comfy and protective, although the stock insole is terrible. So I swapped 'em out for some eS STI insoles.

Before I was skating the Nyjah 3's, they're 25-35 euros here. I'd take a utility knife and scrap off the Nike logos and paint over the Nyjah branding. Not a dig toward Nike or Nyjah, just felt it looked lame. I like the longevity and board feel of the Nyjah's, unfortunately, the porpoise-like toe cap started to inflame the toes on my reg pushing foot. Andrew Cannon had the same issue with the Nyjah's and had toe surgery.

It feels like vegan options are dire these days. I have two pairs of the synth 272's left, then I don't know what I'm going to do, the supply is dwindling and they're now almost 100€ a pair.

Just got some Figgy Emerica.

It's sad that vegan skate shoe market is so fucked these days.

I'm skating with the Synth Rowley right now. I enjoy skating in them, but their durability is lacking compared to the Nike Blazer Doyenne, which I skated in previously. I wonder why Nike doesn't release a simpler version of this shoe without all the limited edition stuff. The toe cap on the Blazer was incredibly durable; I could skate in them for two months without issue. With the Synth Rowley, I already had a hole in the flick area after just two weeks and had to patch it up with shoe goo.

Looks like we're getting our first proper Skate Half Cab tomorrow via Boys of Summer, but of course it's camo and with writing all over the foxing tape 

I was debating on getting them but I couldn't imagine having two random dude's names plastered all over my shoes

So ugly, why does Vans hate vegans?

Sorry for spamming, but is anyone interested in a lightly skated vegan spanky us9? I realized cupsole doesn't work for me, unfortunately. $35 shipped.
Also, did anyone try the Winkoswki shoe yet? I had a good experience with his Omen Hi color.

Hey, I was wondering about your Andrew Cannon sentence.  I don't know where else to look besides youtube and instagram but it seemed to me he had the surgery prior to skating the Nyjah 3's? 

And his last skate challenge video from 3 weeks ago he seems to be skating them still:


Not calling you out, just looking for more info if you have it.  I ask because I'm vacillating between the Nyjah 3's and the non-vegan shoes (Tyshawns) I usually use.  More concerned about my heels lately then forefoot though.

You're right, I must have gotten things conflated. My bad. He says the Nyjah 2's bothered his toe, because of the thin sole in the above video. There's some sort of aerated cushion in the heel of the 3's. Hucking is kinda comfy in them.

Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it.

That time will come - maybe even Memorial Day.

However I think i would feel Self conscious wearing a shoe and having people think I was an && Stan. But that’s my problem, shoe actually looks good for skating.
