I'm very tempted by those OG-1s, especially since I believe Louie Barletta would skate them back in the day and I thought they always looked so sick in his clips. Has anyone skated the skateshop day ones that came out a bit ago and can comment on them?
Yah. Skating them now.
They are great for my wide foot, and makes me remember how great big wide shoes were back in the day.
There’s no EVA midsole (contrary to many online shops’ description) it’s a soft rubber waffle lattice, so it’s got cushion there in a strange way.
It also is higher than other shoes.
That all being said… I can’t notice a difference between skating them vs. Josl1ns other than the tiny bit more height to them.
What I do really like about them is the smooth leather (real? Fake?) around the ankle. It makes slipping the shoe one and off really easy, while still locking the heel in while skating.
It’s a big, chunky feeling shoe… if you skated I’m the late 90’s you’ll probably love it
I like them. It is really nice to be able to skate a shoe with some character and nostalgia mixed in.
(My next shoe is going to be the Arto Accel OG… I will have to hold off on buying anything till then, but the figgy g6 is looking really tempting )
