[eight oh eight]

ugh, manchester 2's.

[listen up]

actually liked them i didnt think they werre that bad

[kev]

They ruined the Manchester before I ever got to try em.

[tehmizzark]

I want to see a staple re-release

[kaufmaner]

this is decent...

[tag_king]

those black one look so much like those old grecos, and yah I mean the manchester 2 doesn't look like a bad shoe, but they should of just released it under a different name because they totally fucked up the sequel aspect.

[Stand and Deliver]

Sick sherpa detailing on the lowtops.

[moustache]

wait, I'm I missing something? How do we know that they're Manchester 2's? Like them though...

[sebastian toombs]

all nasty

Guille, the first, fourth, and fifth pair look decent. I'd wear em proudly.
Hmmmm.... support Mike Carroll and Rick Howard or god knows who?
I'm surprised their shoes are on there but 7 they have driven a straight
path and have kept it strictly skate. Who else is more worthy to support?

[Bender]

The last one looks like an Air Max 1.

I like Lakai, and I want to support them, but man, they make some crappy shoes. Too bad.

i just hate all these special editions and crap every company comes out with. they are the only brand out there besides es thats strictly skateboarding but selling out to some lame artist crap is no different than having a motox boot in my books. plus if i see one more kid at the park wearing some ugly ass bronze hightop boots im gonna go on a penis shooting rampage, splattering baby bullets all over kelly birds chest.

Emerica, Vox, fallen, ipath?

[gub]

I think all these silly pattern/graphic shoes are going to be looked back on as the ugly side of the current skate shoe climate. Dollar bills? Pictures of skulls and bright orange demons? A photo of the new york city skyline? Little flowers all over? Dollar signs and diamonds? To sum it up in a word, whaaaaaaaaaaa

Emerica, Vox, fallen, ipath?

none of those are skateboard shoe companys, they are gimmick companies. emerica vox and fallen are directed ONLY at the "new hesh" fashion family (all those kids with the stupid train conducter hats and paint on pants who refer to people as fresh or hesh and think hesh means skating rails and wearing tight clothes) and ipath is that hippy company. lakai isnt directed at a certain market, its directed at skateboarders.

[bbk]

Oh, I thought you meant brands without BMX teams and stuff like that... I'm still right on Vox though, deffinatley not just "hesh" with people like Strubs and Oyola having models...

I thought the Manchester was famous for being thin and having lace loops.  What you've got now looks like the P-Rod 2.

Anyone else notice the similarity between the black shoe (2nd one down) and the second Jim Greco Vans model? Lakai biting Greco? What's this world coming to?

i skate vox and i wouldn't consider myself hesh. they're just skate shoes, fallen is definately marketed toward those going for a pre-fab hesh look

[isaac]

I'm biased, but I like 3 of the shoes. I agree that this arty print stuff on shoes is getting a little out of hand, but Mueller has been a part of Lakai for a long time now so he's due.

[methuselah]

when i first saw this topic i was thinking...

[deluxe_six]

when i first saw this topic i was thinking...
