Like the other Cons I've skated, these have lasted me awhile. But the outsole is coming off of my shoe, and I'm not sure if it's defective or it's the way I'm skating. I've been using shoe goo to keep the outsole attached to the midsole. At $30, I wouldn't mind getting another pair.

Pushing with these.

Nevermind, these are my actual skate shoes.

Skating the black Busenitz or the blue Koston's right now but wear any of these except the Busenitz on the boxes, those are all new. If anyone has a pair of the Busenitz that are black/white/lemon in a size 8.5 let me know. I'd pay a lot for another pair.

God damn, you have a lot of shoes (and I still can't believe I have more than you).

And I think you have the last pristine pair of black/yellow Busenitz, on the face of the earth.

I always call shoes that look like those Rowleys "Beavis shoes"

HATE, you want to part with the ones with the lemon heels? That's the pair I'm after! If they are between an 8-9 Let me know.

I'm so jealous of those BA dunk hi's. Are those the Marshall's or the MF DOOM's next to them?

Just started wearing these, Etnies Barci and am highly impressed.
Skate great right out of the box. Grippy, light and comfy.

smear some super glue over the ollie area that shit helps ALOT. after 2-3 sessions ina new pair of shoes i always super glue the areas that're worn down. itll just about double the lifespan of the stitching on the shoe.

there's this independent sport store a few blocks from my house that carries skate stuff, they get a bad rep in my city not being a 'core' shop, but they carry every brand out there. anyways, they got those lemon heels. Im thinking about picking them up. as well as the first (i think?) busenitz gazelles, they have blue and red. I swear some of you guys would have a fucking field day in that store. They either buy too much, or they're missing their target market. I feel bad when I buy stuff there cause my city has 2 skater-owned shops to support. but they have the best stock IMO. unfortunately, they never put the 5+ year old shit on sale. They even got like, Rowley classics and eS Penny 1's. its like a skate shoe museum or something, I think they even sell Powell Mini Logos, its fucked.

Snap a few photos, would be cool to see all this vintage gear.

You could probably make some dough with the older ones, especially if they are a good size:

Two pairs of these for $35 each

CCS mall shop? I got mine there. Bruins beat out most Sb models as far as skate-ability and style.

Nah, they were on sale at my skateshop.

I'm still skating my pair of these and I think they are great.

The only two things I dislike about them is they blow out where the side parts meet. I had to goo them like the guy did in this pic from a review http://tests.le-site-du-skateboard.com/files/2011/01/etnies-barci-used.jpg

I also get loads of little stones stuck in the sole which has scratched my grip up.

I would happily skate them again, but I am moving onto the Adidas Ronan's next because they look really similar but hopefully wont have those small problems.

Anyone cycle through their shoes? As in skate different pairs every other week? I do this due to the fact I'm always feeling something different, but in the end its awesome because you feel like you've skated the same shoe for four months and it still looks great.

Yeah, it certainly does make for a better session too. I hate having to skate the same shoe for a month but it's all floppy and whatnot. 2 shoes cycle does the trick for me.

I feel like I should do that. I usually just buy a pair, skate them, get a new pair.

b.v. · « **Reply #16496 on:** March 06, 2012, 09:47:37 AM »

Mostly I just get bored and want something new.

Firebert · « **Reply #16497 on:** March 06, 2012, 01:11:44 PM »

I definitely cycle between 10-15 pairs. Gotta keep my body guessing!

I have about 6 pairs i actively cycle through to skate, and then about 12 pairs of chillers haha
