Back around 2001-2002 I was getting new skate shoes at a store called "Feet First" and they had the entire Pro SB series in the Skate Shoes section.  I picked one up, laughed thinking how they'd never be popular in skateboarding, and put it back on the shelf walking out with a fresh pair of eS Koston 1s.  If I knew how huge Nike SB would get, I would have used every penny I had access to and kept the entire series in mint condition.

There's been a ton of shoes I've been borderline obsessed with but never purchased.  too many to name. 


I'm regretting the fact that I can't seem to find these in my size and my opportunity may have passed:

Saw a few sample pairs of these at a shop once, for cheaps (not the black pair, either those other two or maybe some navy pair also). They were butt-ugly of course, but in hindsight I thought they would have been a nice curiousity item.

Or "a great conversation piece" as often stated in disturbingauctions.com

es square ones.  they still make them(or at least i still see them) but i found a bunch of them on sale for $22 and i didn't buy them all.
i ended up buying other pairs of shoes just to have variety, what a mistake.

these dvs jason dills. saw them on the sale rack at the skate shop and thought 'nah...'. after i saw mosaic i thought they looked cool.
(http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/m/mcY-83FLD5JmFIlu353uQFQ/140.jpg)
i really wish i stocked up on these. i had one pair that lasted me forever and accompanied me through the only time in my life i was ever remotely good at skateboarding.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/216E3K5EABL._AA300_.jpg)
more pairs of the k3. specifically the gray and navy colorway.
the original lakai staple. i knew it at the time that this was the best skate shoe ever, but i didn't have the foresight to stockpile hundreds of pairs for the future.
(http://www.lakai.com/SUM03/SHOE_ARCHIVE/spring01/STAPLE.BLACK.jpg)
remember the travesty that was the staple 2?
(http://images.the-house.com/lakai-staple2-brn-crm.jpg)

i had those and they were horrible. i had two pairs of the grey ones and they were perfect. the suede on those felt really shitty, i could have had a bad pair though. Most likely it was just me.

if any of you guys can wear a sz 9.5 ive got the bright orange ones and the last denim/gold ones they made. i also have the OG white/red/blue colorway, but i plan on holding on to those unless someone wants to talk me out of them for the right price.
also, anyone that wears a sz 9 should check my post in the classifieds section. some good stuff in there.
