Once I like a shoe I bought the hell of them until don´t make the anymore, like if they keep them coming I can skate them for life.
The first shoe I was convinced to buy for life was the Lakai Manchester, the one with cupsole, had like 5 pairs, I never saw those again, a real bummer.
The other shoe is the Converse sumner, I really loved those shoes, I had like more than 10 pairs in the past years, having a roomie sponsored by converse was helpful, had many colorways and love them all, the last pair I bought it a year ago in a sporting good shop and make them to bring me a pair in my size from a another store outside the city. I see them less online and not in my size, so no more sumner for me.
The last year I saw a pair of Blazer low NBA in sale and they´re to cheap to not buy them, so I tried and had my first pair of nikes in my life and I liked them, recently had another pair in another sale of course, so I think Ill be a blazer low guy for now.
