What I liked the most about the OG shifter was that they actually had that boot look..
I couldn't feel more opposite. I hated that they weren't as slim as they looked when Heath skated in em.
Now, I know what Deekay is talking about. The original ones definitely look better. The newer version’s model looks like it has pebbled leather, and I associate that with restaurant/non-slip shoes. I’m still backing it because of Heath gets royalties.
Not to stray way off subject, but @Deekay: Do you have any recommendation for shoes that look close to the OG Shifters? I wanted to get a pair for riding my bike and walking around...can’t find any with a midsole that looks as clean.
Hopefully the new shifters will look better in real life, they usually do. If Heath's backing em, they're good enough for me.
I don't unfortunately, that's why I've been trying to get as many pairs as I can. It's hard finding shoes with a clean look like that and that still are comfortable to wear all day and even skate. The closest I've come is the Krew Franklin boots in all black leather, but of course they're impossible to find now too. If you do find a pair though, get them. They're comfortable enough to wear all day and great for riding bikes and skating. If anyone has any additional tips, please share.
