the first chukka lows (before they changed the sole) were the best, but lasted 2 weeks
half cabs
old skools
adidas classic vulc's are really good

The OG Sal Barbier 23 shoes. (When they discontinued these in the '90s, I bought three pairs from the skate shop I worked at.)
Jason Lee Airwalks (this was before Mall Rats...I had no idea my contributions indirectly went to the Church of Scientology).

I fucking loved these shoes to death. The XL2s were nice too. Rowley's made some good shit over the years.

Rusto2 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2009, 02:35:01 PM »

The emerica Chris Senn's that came out around 1998 or 1999 with the transparent red sole

and the shoes rodney mullen is wearing at 2:08, they are eS', but i forgot the name. You know the ones im talkin about, they were green and white. and maybe some red mixed in

Lakai used to be the best, now they might as well just change their name to Vans Too.

im not gonna say they are the best ever, but they sure look good.

are those the tnt 2s? I had 2 pairs of em, damn they were nice, except mine were leather and didn't have that red line. but as far as skating goes, I'd say the lakai manchesters were the best to skate.

Agreed. Must have had like.. 5 pairs of these at least.. when I got back from 2 years out injured I was so bummed they didn't make these any more.

And those even have Busenitz name on the side.

This is the "go to" shoe. Sure, they rip to shreds pretty quick, but I'll skate them until they become blocks of shoe goo.

They look goooooooood

the koston 3s may have looked like michael jordan ripoffs but they skated so fucking good. i had the black and red pair back in the day. will honestly say they skated the best out of any shoe i have ever owned.

Not sure if I would call them my faves, but ones that stand out are the Duffs-Markovich Circle Ks.
