For me it's supra ellingtons, the blk/wht pair I have lasts and look nice but the bottom is worn as it gets for those shoes, I keep them because the shoe won't look bad at any shape.
Any similarities?
-
some old black blazer his with the swooshs missing as a backup pair at my parents house whenever i visit them
some 14 y old cons dr j in red leather that i never wear or skate, but can't part with either
some early emericas from 97 for nostalgic reasons(they have the first logo with the stylized e)
some all white dc manteca hi a friend flowed about a decade back that i used as winter boots
a weird dc sample of some old colin mc kay promodel
pair of red white and blue non sb dunks i got around 2001 for skating because i wasnt into skateshoes back then. skated these and stan smiths until i started to buy lakais.
-
My last pair of Westgate's lasted longer than any shoes I've ever had. I skated through the midsole and they were still comfortable. Glad to see they're back in the Emerica lineup so I can buy more

White ones look good.

Still can't break through the Cons One Star for whatever reason, the sole might give out sooner than the upper, but it's felt like I've skated these for an eternity.
-
I skated a pair of ctas pros for only like 2 or 3 months, and wore them as shoes for going out for like almost two years after that. The sole has had a hole in it for a year, the back was completely ripping out, the insoles would pop out the bottom, the sole was bald, and the rubber toe cap on my forward foot almost had a hole in it so it was covered in shoe goo. They just looked nice

I skated a pair of CTAS Hi's off and on for over a year, it was the blue Polar colorway. Those were seemingly indestructible.

-
Those dc super suede models, I wish I could have skated them longer but I had to quit because the sizing is shit, hurt my feet to much.

the sole will last forever. i've had a pair for a while now and i put a hole in the suede but the toe bumper is like barely worn through. tons of rubber on those things.

I still have some of the original black leather Ipath Reed mids and some red Supra Double Es in a box at my mom's house. I may toss the Supras, but those Reeds are still so sick.
-

Dont ever throw out those creagers!
One of the best shoes ever! I skated like 10 fuckin pair and at that time I skated all fuckin day and night and they lasted long and looked cool as fuck.
If a reissue came up and it was exact id buy 20 pairs at least
-
I've got some 6 year old skytops in black leather with baby blue suede accents, I've had to superglue the sole back onto them twice, but I just can't part with them. Too comfy, too nostalgic, too perfect.
-
I have a bunch of older Dunks with bald soles but reasonably intact uppers.
A pair of Rowley XLTs that I wear for painting/construction.

I've chucked away so many good shoes over the years. Moving continents sucks.
Still clinging to my Silas 1's though, that shoe was waaaay ahead of it's time
-
i kept a bunch of older emericas from the mid 2000s in my closet and my mom was cleaning my shit out and tossed em cause they looked so worn out
-
Current pair of NB#533 that I've been skating every day for about a month. Showing very little wear at this point, though it's possibly cus I've been skating so much transition as opposed to flip tricks and the like.
Maybe i shoulda skated more street cus it's a weartest, but I guess they'll be stoked on how durable they are

Clark's Wallys last forever.

Same here. I'm skating a pair of CCs I got for Christmas but the Westgates still have plenty of life left in them. Getting a pair of the white ones for my birthday and excited about that. Great colorway and i prefer the shape and snug feel that they have over the CCs.
-
The supra Ellingtons last forever! I have never even come close to blowing a pair out. I just get tired of skating them and retire them. Got a pair of blue and yellow Silas 1s that are in terrible shape but can't part with them.

Cant get rid of Jlay vans from 8th grade

We should really start a Silas 1 thread on here, so many posters love that shoe
-
es Accelerate, I skated a pair the most I could and I barely have a hole on the sole. The toe box gave me an awesome flick!
-
Not for skating you big silly. Those are stone-cold chillers.

Supra Raider low, some of the comfiest shoes I've owned. They're beaten to death and live in my cupboard.
This colour.

Right next to those is a pair of Supra Cruizers. Wish I had bought more colourways of these and stashed them.

I hated that shoe until I got more into running shoes and now with white I'm In love only wish I had copped a pair of BAs at the Nike outlet when I had the chance. As for me I have a pair of accels from before the hiatus basically unworn , a pair of emerica miners , and some limited edition bright green emerica ridgemonts

Supra had some heavy flicks, the really inspired ones

Dill's first DVS shoe
(http://www.rippedlaces.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/RLs_DVSDills-copy.jpg)
I've still got a pair of Emerica Templeton Transits (Transists?), that have some of his and some photos from that "Teenage Smokers" book on them. Can't find a pic online though.
Still have a pair of Nike Diamond Dunk lows in decent condition. Don't really wear em too much, but can't get rid of em.
(http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hypebeast-wordpress/image/2008/03/diamond-nike-design-contest-2.jpg)
Also got a couple pairs of the Project BA stocked up for the summer, and a pair of Omar's original Nike shoe in black leather.
R.I.P. to all the discontinued Nike Models

I always thought it was pretty low of SB to just discontinue someone's shoe rather than making a second, more marketable model. They obviously believed in the name power of Omar and BA at one point, but ceasing production of their shoes and not doing another shoe, while having done a dozen shoes with P-Rod, seems kind of like a slap on the face.
-
Well they did do a second shoe for Omar, the vulcanized one. People seemed to like that one a bit more, but I preferred the original one, they had a more unique look to them.
I wish I had gotten a pair of those tennis looking shoes they had Gino endorsing for a minute.
They were almost ugly, but overall cool looking, I thought.
-
Adidas Suciu, got a pair right before winter, skated as hard as i could all winter, kept skating them up until now. slapped shoe goo on it a few times but after i smoothed it out they still looked good. Have to retire them cause i got another pair.

It was way left in the approach of how you would want anything, then oddly they lost both of their kits from shoes to boards, they had other new things going but those moments weren't miniscule

Thrashed B.a's got another pair unskated these are unwearable for me
