Ha! I cuffed the pants to show off the shoes better. Playing guitar is pure magic for me. I don't think I could do it even if I had years to practice.
Initially I wasn't a fan of the look of the Reynolds G6 shoes myself. Too much going on I thought but as they were so comfortable on my feet I grew to like how they looked as well. I can definitely say that I'm not dope though or have that super-ill fresh factor of OG skateboarding. I am quite a regular person, a 40 year old engineer. Sorry, not sorry.
My b, didn't mean to hate on you personally! Everyone should wear what they want and not give a heck about what anyone thinks. I'm just really particular about skate shoes, and I'm sad that they no longer have that unapologetically 'skate' aesthetic. I desperately want to buy emerica but they don't make a single shoe I'm interested in. That goes for all skate shoes btw. No sick shoes on the market.
No worries man. I didn’t take it personally.
I’ve had all sorts of shoes throughout the years. Probably the ghastliest ones I’ve had were the éS Koston 2s in yellow back in the day. Those things were so ugly but skated so good and lasted crazy long. Overall though, I’ve always preferred more understated designs and colorways. I guess that was what I was trying to say with my reply.
I hope someone (maybe even Emerica) comes out with something you find sick so that you can have that super-ill fresh factor of OG skateboarding.

Still have quite a few pairs of the Reynolds G6s left. This shoe fits my feet so well. I’ve skated three pairs I think. Very long lasting shoe. I’ve skated a bunch of other shoes in between but am always stoked I still have a good supply of these still left.
Stoked on hearing about the forthcoming vegan offerings. I’ve been trying to mostly not buy shoes for a long time and if I do, focus on buying vegan ones.
@Roisto they're amazing, right? I bought 6 pairs when they came out and I've only deaded 2 pairs in that time. I keep 2 pairs in rotation and I've got 2 on ice.
Yeah. Best shoes I’ve ever had. So comfortable, don’t bag out, very durable. On one pair I didn’t even have to patch the upper as it just held on which never happens to me.
