Their vulc shoes just seem to work for me. I can't give them up.
I was the same way. I had 6 pairs of the danny garcia's. All 6 pairs were black with white sole. Goddamn that shoe ruled.
Also, Emerica Reynolds 2's. I found a pair behind a Panera Bread and learned every variation of regular/fakie heel flip in one day. Immediately lost most of them as soon as those shoes were dust.
I had a Stereo Olly Todd that I learned frontside half cab flips on that I always look back on fondly, too. I skated probably 30 Habitat boards as a teenager, bought a Stereo and was quickly learning frontside flip tricks. I guess now looking back that's what pulled me away from Habitat (though I then got into AWS...) and on that note
