IMO The BA should have had hidden lace loops like the Tre although I never had either.

i am digging basketball shoes lately. i wouldn't mind if skateshoes would take some cues from modern basketball shoes but toned them down a bit and of course used suede or something skateable instead of knit materials that are very common nowadays.

watson, those j1s look like you had a real good time. would be cool if you could post pics of the puma suedes also after you're done skating them.

Send me $10 and I'll show you as many pics as my shoes as you want you freakazoid.

Just kidding, shoes last me forever but yeah I'll post a pic at the end of the summer. The J's was the best time. I guess the ones I had actually resell now for lots of money but I don't regret skating them.

I know a guy who skated tommy hilf shoes from ross.
Seem to work fine enough for him.

*polo Ralph Lauren boat shoes.

*Nike dunks. the basketball ones, not the SB ones. used to be able to find these at every Ross. haven’t seen them in years. you can tell which ones are basketball ones because there is absolutely 0% padding in the tounge.

I had regular dunks before Nike SB was happening and I think I do remember the tongue being thin and not a ton of insole support but man those were some of the best shoes I ever skated.

I’ve never tried the non SB dunks on but the cool thing about those is you can Nike ID your own colorway.

I'm trying the Nike Davinho out, just one session so far. I don't think I've seen anyone talk about them or skate them ever? Probably wrong on that. I have two pairs, I skated the other pair, not this pair:

The toe stitching already blew out after a few kickflip attempts, so I doubt they'll last long. But they fit and look great - I have a thinner foot so they're really comfortable - and have great grip. A lot of soccer shoes or athletic shoes aren't too grippy, but these are.

nvm found my answer

thought of this shoe the moment i saw this thread. this may be my favorite shoe i’ve ever skated. I threw some extra insoles in from a pair of running shoes and was pretty good about shoe gooing them regularly. I found a pair on clearance in Shoe Carnival in 2014? Haven’t seen a pair since, i enjoyed these more than my SB Gatos to be honest.

You can find them on eBay pretty easily. I bought a few pairs from a store called Sport Chek but they only have size 13s now. Great shoe for sure!

Thrifted some Air Force 1s for like $12, considering skating them. Anyone here skated a pair before?

cricketclub · « **Reply #190 on:** June 12, 2019, 07:41:17 AM »

Puleo skates them and I've been seeing a lot of locals skate them. Stevie got some clips in them. I can't imagine they are good. It seems like you can tell there is no board feel when you watch the clips. Obviously Puleo and Williams still pull it off mad steezy. If you don't need any boardfeel you might be able to make it work but I bet they are heavy and the traction won't be as good as an SB Dunk.

Ha, that’s dope. I’ve been heavy into this idea over the last few weeks. I have skated some. CC is correct in that there is reduced board feels. But....so whut. You are still rolling. You kind of more club your board, not so much of a flick. Unless you are Cyrus and have some of the best kickflips ever. When I got mine a motivator was my foot pain. They help there. The shoes are heavy as fuck tho and my knees felt it. I’m made out of tissue paper apparently. I’ve been trying to find the ultra force ones that had the reduced weight. I also want to check the flyknit out. I’ll skate in anything tho. I was trying to find some harden 1s to try, the upcoming Jordan 4 flyknits depending on where the plastic overlays are....I looked at the Kobe ad. There is actually some Nike tennis shoes that have an e-cue like cage.
Blah blah. Do it

The soles are like platforms. I agree with poster above that you are clubbing your board with your feet. The soles have no grip and you can’t feel your board. Also, the ankle roll factor is high because of the hard edge on the sole.

For $12 you prolly aren’t going to be flossin’ In those thangs, so give it a try but they are a far cry from the Jordan 1s.

For my money Stan Smith’s and Superstars are the best nonskate skateshoe but they have to have terry cloth or fabric, respectively, interiors. All shoes with pleather interiors suck if your feet sweat.

^Not bad. Reebok does a bunch of shoes that are all basically Club C's with minor tweaks. The sole on thee is the best looking one for skate purposes.

Pretty sure I’ve seen one of those clout kids on the explore page skating a pair. Followed by someone skating the off white dunks

Nathan Evans skates them in Green Apple Supper's Ready but I can't find it on YouTube. I'm sure wavytrillbaby or wheoever skated all those J's did in his section too.

I love that shoe and have always thought it would be sick, but the sole seems waaaaay too thick and hard to skate (for me anyway).

I am keeping a few dusted 1’s and only because I thought the ones you chopped look sick. I suck at putting griptape on tho. So I’m really just hoarding them....
