i seem to be the only one of my friends that feels this way, they say if it looks good and is comfy they will wear it, but i never have, and most likely never will own a pair of adio, globe, circa, osiris, or DVS. i dunno what it is i just hate the company and their whole idea. i have never even considered ownng a pair of those shoes. i recognize there's really no genuine justification for it, i'm just immediately turned off by any and every shoe those companies put out. is this just me?
-
i got janoskis lately, i didnt like the feel of em and was put off, which is the opposite of what everyone says, but its just me, ill prob never buy nikes again. just not my thing
zomg first pooooossstttt.....
-
i've had a couple of pairs of adios and they werent bad. i'm going to probably buy joey brezinski's shoe at some point to try them
i had one pair of DVS zered lows, and i had to stop skating them because the FUCKING lace holes started TEARING OFF on the right shoe! i couldnt even tie the goddamn shoe anymore. how the fuck does that happen?!!

I am just psyched on your name. It's a fucking obscure Rodrigo TX quote from a video that came out nearly a decade ago. That is fucking awesome. My friends and I used to say that shit ALL the time.
ahaha same with me..
I'm not feeling the 1st post asshole though

Nike
DC
Adio
Converse
Airspeed
Etnies
Element, if they still make shoes
Globe

Nike, Cons, Adidas.

Nike, Cons, Adidas.
"The big three" :P
-
Fallen, Osiris, Duffs, Dekline, Ipath, Vox, and the worst one... Supra
-
Airspeed
Dude, you're WACK. You need to learn to appreciskate the SHER.
-
probably mainly just Adidas or cons. I might try them someday, but probably not. and I'm kind of wishy-washy with nike. I have janoski's right now because I love them, but I have gone through phases of just not buying nike for the sake of buying skater owned like vox.
and I've never really been into adio, but I might buy one of their shoes if they ever make one that's not ugly.
-
"The big three" :P
probably bcuz theyre involved in most of the sports today
but yeah consolidated skateboards agree "dont do it"

Menikmati was so fucking awesome that is probably the only reason I would still consider buying
-
globe - never have, never will
osiris - had a pair given to me, but kept it going and gave them to someone else
Element, Zoo York or any other board company making shoes
used to wear or might consider but not likely:
adio - probably not but they got Creager and Brezinsky so maybe
DC - used to wear them during the 1990s but after Howard, Carroll, Huf and the OGs left the designs seemed to get super lame
Duffs - were cool when Kareem was on but now...
Axion - shouldn't have come back
Supra
Converse
C1rca
-
fallen globe dc
i feel like these are the dregs of the shoe world
-
gucci
-
c1rca for sure.
-
Come on, it?s just shoes, you wear them and skate them, who the fuck cares as long as they skate good.
I can understand if some people doesnt like shoes because they are not comfortable or doesnt skate good.
But i dont get the brand hate, as long as they pay their riders they are ok with me.
Stop being like little girls
-
I won't buy shoes or any products from girl, chocolate, lakai etc. Long story short, I sent them this graphic I made for a class, next month they're new decks had a similar graphic just with different words. Emailed them asking about it and they would never reply.

that is shitty, but thats what you get for sending out a piece of art that you wanted in their control. Sucks they won't acknowledge you, but at least they did something with it even it was modifying your art. Which graphic was it?

That sucks, they could at least have send you some boards
-
Circa/Combat or other wise
etnies
globe
adio
vox
osiris
nike
dvs
element/zoo york/habitat
-
forgot about element/zoo york, i don't back the shoes or the boards, but habitat footwear seems a bit more legit. i'd get a pair if they looked/felt good and were the right price
-
for some reason globe is just incredibly unappealing.
-
Adio-Thinking of giving them another shot, no more puffy shoes, no more flying Tomato or Heart-o-grams.
Osiris-I would get the D3's, just as a total joke to make people laugh.
Element/Zoo York/Habitat-stick to board, not shoes....would't skate any of those brands either.
Vox-had a pair, heelbruises and sore feet....and they fell apart.
Vans-again...had (several) pairs, heelbruises and sore feet....and they fell apart.
DC-even Danny Way can't convince me to support Dyrdek.
Globe-had a few pair, slippery bottoms that wore out way fast.
DVS-mall/juggalo brand, plus Berra.
Supra/Kr3w-a little too "urban" for me.
Converse-ankle breakers.
Adidas-toe too pointy.
Lakai-poor quality.
Fallen-never tried them, but just don't like the cut of their jib.
Dekline-ankle breakers.
So what's left? Gravis, C1rca combat, Es, Etnies, Emerica and Huf.
Although I've said I would never skate Nike, I tried on some Dunk highs and they are sick. The zoom fp's look good too. The older I get the more cushion my feet need and I want something that lasts. So I think I'm going to make the Nike switch(sad face.)
-
I didnt like Lakai's for the longest times but since they came out with some good new shoes ill give them a try.
To be honest, I would prolly try any shoe company except those Wal-mart brand shoes.
-
Fuck nike
-
What is it that you cats generally dislike about Circa? I've had a few pairs over the years, cup and vulc, and can't say I had a bad time with them. Do they have a reputation or something? (serious question, not trying to instigate a flame war or anything)
On topic- I'll try any mid or high top our shop carries (mostly Lakai, Vans, had some Duffs, wearing Vox, about to try some Campus Highs)... once exception being a big fat pair of Reeboks I keep around for getting back on board due to recurring ankle sprains. Actually they're what I'll be wearing in a week when I'm back on board, then I'll finish off the Vox's I've been skating.

Yeah I asked them to at least give me credit or stickers or something. Emailed them like once a month for a few months, but I gave up cuz they never replied.

i dont understand the fallen hate, its a skater owned/produced company that produces top quality shoes and the pairs i've owned have been excellent.
-
I'll be honest, I've been on a Converse roll with the last few pairs of shoes I bought.
I just like my shit inconspicuous and slim with very little labeling.
-
DC- I think its cause all the kids that wear them are those kids that want to look like skater but don't skate
Used to be Lakai's but know I dont care id buy some

Have to agree, circa makes great shoes, they are grippy and very comfortable to skate in
-
for the most part i'll cop any shoe if its cheap enough except lakais since i don't know anyone whos had a pair that didn't fall apart in a week.
-
Adidas - their shoes feel like potatoey pieces of shit. Out of all the shoes on this list, they're the ones that I'm least likely to buy.
Nike - I've skated them before and they last and they skate great but I think the swoosh is fucking ugly and I can't stand the way a lot of their shoes look on my feet.
Cons - never skated them but a lot of their models look like something I'd find in target
Fallen - the shoes blew out in 2 weeks and I spent 10 bucks shipping them back for a replacement pair. I still haven't gotten them.
Adio/Osiris/Globe - uh, yeah.
-
I'm skating some Converse Kenny Anderson Star Player OX, Navy, and they are pretty good. I'm going to get some Pappalardo's next, but, I don't skate Osiris, haven't for a couple of years, tried some Clint Peterson's maybe back in 2007, they were ok, I had some Mathias Ringstrom's before that(when the Storm came out). I can't even remember what they were called. Had a pair of Nikes, hated them.
Found the Osiris's, called the Exid:
(http://images.reviewcentre.com/sent-in/item3988.jpg)
sorry for the picture, the only one I could find.
-
I dont get the hate on Osiris, Ive had two pairs of them, the 1st two Duffel shoes and I gotta say they were really good shoes. The Slimmer one was perhaps the best low profile slim shoe Ive skated. The material lasted a good time and the grip was really good. If I had a chance I would get the shoes again because they are that good. I just cant see hating on those shoes.

Menikmati was so fucking awesome that is probably the only reason I would still consider buying
I've probably said the quote 7-8 times today already.
Menikmati was my first team video. For my high school senior quote I wrote, "'For me it's crazy like'... to have made it through high school."
I won't knock an entire brand, because most offer at least one shoe that I'd be down to wear. Most recently: Fallen Slash, DC Tonik, Globe Bender (mid top boat shoe does it for me for whatever reason), Etnies LS models, some recent simple DVS kicks. I won't buy Nike unless I know I'm going to be skating consistently so I can wear down the swoosh. The only Osiris shoes worth a mention in the last five years were the Chinos, magical shoes.

"The big three" :P
These but with vans substituting adidas have become the only brands I really buy nowadays

Globe (just because that Longboard shit..)
DC (fuglys and random)
Adidas (just dont like the shoes, they're all ugly to)
Nothing hated on Nike, and dont know anything about Cons except that nike owns them..
;D
-
I've been staying away from Nike. Not so much due to them being a big corporation. I tend to think that Nike is so big and efficient that they'll do great in what ever field they are willing to invest in. It's just that for a while now it seems that every single kid around here, whether skateboarder or not, is wearing Nike SBs, and with all the shoes on the market, I'd rather just buy something else.
Lately though I've been drawn to Dunks so I might have to try them someday. Or the Air Kostons.
But I'll never buy Osiris or Adio or Globe. Probably not even DCs even if the Toniks look ok. I go through so few shoes that I never have to buy mediocre or uninteresting shoes to get by.
-
if you want an honest answer about circa its because the shoes look so regular. if the big brands didnt come back and reclaim their silhouettes circas would probably still be considered decent looking shoes.
DC has no idea what theyre doing and is usually chasing trends and when theyre not chasing trends theyre releasing insanely cheesy large logo dunk rip offs with splashes of color and birds emanating from the logo. the only thing I associate with DC is middle aged men with an identity crisis and guidos.
lakai has the OG manchester but its only at zumiez. the rest of their shoes are overrated and suck.
fallen is for emos and has ads with crows.
etnies is for the children. the other shoes they sell at regular stores look just as bad as DCs garbage.
DVS shoes just look horrible. just go through their lineup and take a good look. its shit.
converse is overrated. if im going to rip a shoe in a week anyways ill just buy the ones they sell at regular stores for half the price.
osiris?..lol.
globe is a gayer australian version of fallen.
adio is out of business.
mark oblow looks like a guido.

Hmm, when I click the link I posted it just takes a second to load. Well, it did come out about a month after I sent it to them.
-
I'm on the Slap boards, so I'm not going to buy anything other than half cabs.
But I really love the Busenitz' too.
-
I've never tried a pair but I'd probably never buy a pair of Pyro shoes. Hell... even if I was getting um for free I'd probably never wear um.
-
lakai, just never liked em and how they look

nike, cons (aka nike), adidas, vans. i'm quitting those. but i don't want to wear dc, globe, adio, habitat, dvs. Left with sole tech basically. oh, i will try some deklines.
-
globe, dvs comes to mind.
I usually only get shoes from sole tech, vans and adidas.
-
I've bought shoes from most of the big companies and this is what I came up with.
ipath
supra
nike
converse
They either fit skinny on my wide feet or I don't back the brand. I actually buy more shoes than I can skate so I can weed out the shoes that look good for skating, but actually suck at skating so they go back to being my chill shoes.
-
circa
globe
ipath
osiris
adio
pretty much companies that still produce ridiculously bulky shoes just make me turn my head at all of their shoes.
-
never got into nike, so hip, and ugly designs.i dont get sneaker collectors paying high ammounts for such ugly colorwayssss. but i would skate the janoski's if they were a good deal. i have narrow feet so i stay away from globe adio dvs dc, i think i could fit both feet into 1 of there shoes. but i'll skate the cheapest low profile shoe i can find, sometimes even those walmart faded glory sneakers for 7 bucks lulz. they skate fine,but legit grip is always nicer obviously.(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tSY0ib1moNk/S8XrDlvwroI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/Cv7cl86cOEk/s400/3.jpg)

Nike
DC
Adio

DVS

You forgot a few brands: Axion, Circa/Circa Combat, Fallen, Gravis, HUF, Ipath, Lakai, Osiris, Supra, and Vox
-
duff's obviously
-
Fallen. It's not that I don't like the team, it's just the people that wear them that I don't care for. The kids with like skin tight yellow pants. Gages in their ears. Drink Monster energy. Listen to hardcore screamo. And bike at the library while asking to bum cigarettes off you.
-
I don't get all the Circa hate. I liked every pair I've owned.

That was a definite generalization, but head on over to the "post the shoes you're wearing" thread and see how many different shoes are actually posted. It's usually the same few companies and a lot of the same models.
-
Only DC's I would buy are the Tonik's, those ones that look like the Manchesters and the JK8's.
Circa
Globe
DVS
Ipath
Fallen
Etnies
Dekline
I usually wear Nike's and Adidas, but Lakai would be added to the mix since the Manchester's coming back.

DC
Supra
Are the only brands that really disgust me, with DC it's partly their customers (jocks who don't skate), and with Supra most of their shoes look so ridiculous that I cant even take them seriously.
But the list of shoe brands I simply don't care enough about to ever buy would be a lot longer.
-
Nike, they have enough money, they don't need mine.
-
I don't like:
Vans - becoming to popular here in portugal, they look always the same, they are expensive and not durable...
DC - expensive and ugly...
habitat - i like the shoes but they should have other name because they limited the shoe team to their skateboard am team...
world industries - the most ugly ones...
element\zoo york - dont have quality...
this brands have some shoes that i can worn but in overall i don't like their shoes.
-
to anyone that answered VOX, i'm sorry, you're mistaken.
but, yeah, mainly FALLEN.
i feel like they are one of the few shoe brands that have yet to produce a shoe that i've even remotely liked.
-
Osiris-Obvious
Globe-Don't really care for their "image" or whatever you want to call it.
Supra-Same as globe, they're ugly as fuck, and i had a pair of the thunders lows once because they were the cheapest, and they didn't have my size in anything else and there by far the worst shoes i've ever skated.
zoo york, world, airspeed-Obvious

not for long. And Guru is already pro.
-
i hold no grudges or allegiance to any company
i think most nikes are ugly though
-
Pretty much just DC, but to be fair I had the smith 1.5's back in my puffier shoe phase and liked those. As for all the Osiris hate, I fucking loved Boulala's shoe. It may have been ugly as fuck, and the boardfeel was terrible, but I learned most of my tricks in those bastards and they will forever have a place in my heart.

That's weird, I sent Lakai an envelope with a graphic on it for some stickers. A month later they said they were gonna use it for a shirt, sent me 2 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes. Never got those stickers though...
-
Adidas, Supra - I rahter fry my own poop and eat it
-
I'll try just about any shoe if it looks good, simple as that.
I was trying to avoid Cons just because, until I tried a pair on.
But I still think addidas' is the worst. Ugly ass shoes, weird fit (for me) but I really just fucking hate the three stripes.
-
Only skate Airspeed. Fuck the rest.

anyone remember these? haha

That's kinda crazy. I remember posting a shitty striped graphic I spraypainted on here.. two months later, the same pattern, same colors even.. is one of Mike Carroll's new decks. I never emailed about it, but in retrospect that's pretty fucking lame of them.
-
DC...I hate the Court Graffik shoe and everyone has them.
I remember when I was 14 (11 years ago) and people would rip on me for wearing DC's and not Etnies which was popular at the time, now Everyone wears them. They also drink Monster, old english D's on the back car window,love Tapout. Gotta love the Midwest.
I won't wear Nike either.

i have never seen a pair of circa's in real life

element,zoo york,nss,air speed.. although i don't think i've seen any of these brands at many shops.
-
Shit... I havent bought shoes from a skate brand in a long time...its either nike or vans. Id actually be more likely to skate in shoes that were not made for skating than buy shit from sole tech, lakai, dvs, or any of those others.
-
nike or k-swiss. pretty much anything else goes as long as its a cup sole. cant skate with vulcanised soles, its all in the mind
-
I will not allow myself to by nikes anymore.
-
duffs
adio
dvs
element
-
Vans is cool but i hate how every single person that never even stepped foot on a board wear eras and authentics
-
habitat, zoo york, element, world industries, nss, air speed, and those shoes they sell at k-mart
-
probably bcuz theyre involved in most of the sports today
but yeah consolidated skateboards agree "dont do it"
it sucks that most skater owned co. just dont make the same quality/durability that adidas and nike offer. Those shoes last fuckin forever! the only ones i think come close are Fallen. I love lakai but gawtdamn they poop out fast as fuck
-
looks like everybody and their mom is down for eS and emerica. those are pretty much the only two brand i buy. i had a pair of blazer lows with the premium insole and those were sweet but in the future, they don't need my money anymore.

DC- getting everyone to sell out, those adds on the berrics drive me crazy, STEVE BERRA

Nike, Globe, Etnies, Vans, DC spring to mind.. I wanna say Adidas but the last (only) pair I had were awesome and lasted for an ungodly span.
Just bought a pair of Emerica Leos and can't see myself skating anything else for the forseeable future.

I-path is owned by some large corperate sandal company that has nothing to do with skateboarding so you shouldn't do them either.
Never DC.

dc for selling skateboarding's soul.
nike, adidas, cons for trying to buy skateboarding's soul.

dvs
vox
dc
globe
etnies
pretty much only wear nike, addidas, vans, lakai, huf, and the occasional emericas
-
let's see...
c1rca - i like their combat team but all their shoes look the same and idk i just never liked circa
dc - never
dvs - don't like the way they feel
element - ehh, just lame
etnies - had the arto 2's but they sucked so ill never buy etnies again probably
fallen - worst board feel
globe - never dream of owning a pair
habitat- i just don't skate habitat decks enough to own matching shoes
huf - ill probably just never get into them
lakai - a few bad pairs steered me away, altho i love the company, team, image etc.
nike - i just won't give in
osiris - give me a break
supra - had a pair when they first came out, so heavy, i just despise supra now tho
wow, i'm picky
-
I will never buy Vans due to their total lack of durability. I also hate Globe simply because I hate Daveed.
-
everything except for emerica.
-
DC is the worst. Completely sold their soul.
Almost any other shoe is good.
-
Vans is cool but i hate how every single person that never even stepped foot on a board wear eras and authentics
you for got to add chukkas
-
adios
osiris
dvs
globes
duffs
-
Nike
Converse
I'm also leaning towards avoiding Adidas when it comes to skate shoes. Gotta keep it in the family.
-
What's wrong with Duffs?????
-
What's wrong with Duffs?????
whats not wrong with them
i dont have anything against VOX but im prety sure i will never buy their shoes, aesthetics
-
I didn't even realize Duffs still made shoes. I think the last time I saw them was like 5 years ago, some kid in my school had gamblers.
-
DC
Osiris - Hated my one pair
Lakai - Might as well burn money for how long they last
Cons
ANY VULC SHOE. I hate vulc, i keep trying it and hating it. From now on, no more!
I only buy Nike and Adidas when they are the only company making the type of shoe I want. In the past I wore Nike FCs and Classics. Now I'm in Busenitz. All about thin pointy cupsoles with a super stiff heel cup/good foot support.
I'd prefer a skater owned alternative if anyone has one. Considering trying the Huf Pros, can't try them on though. How do they fit?
-

So true.
And the way I see it, if you're in the US, your name is David.
-
Ugg, Crocs, etc.
-
fms shoes fuck that shit
-
Just buy Emerica people.
-
Shake Junt, Nike, Adidas, Converse.
-
Vans cause i never grew up on em, nothin against em im sure their great just were never sold around me as a kid in the hood so i never owned a pair. Also Circa id wear em if they didn't have skulls on em though...Etnies just cause i think Sheckler and Malto make it more for kids...
-
Shake Junt, Nike, Adidas, Converse.
Shake Junt is not a shoe company

NAW REALLY I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA /sarcasm
-
88's, thank good they went out of business. Circa, Etnies, and dekline. They just don't do it for me.
-
DC, Also, it's super hard for me to find a pair of Etnies that I would skate.
-
The same as a lot of other people are saying - Nike, Adidas, Converse but also... gasp... Vans!
-
Nike, Cons, Adidas.
I, too am still a naive child at heart. Though when I was a kid I owned probably 10 pairs of the adidas torrents, cause' they were like 13 bucks a pair at this grocery store near the skatepark.
-
globe,circa,osiris,vox just all the ugly shoes. i dont really care about the big corparation stuff, i mean alot of these brands have been skated for years before they made skate specific shoes, and now theres all this hate.
-
Fallen, Osiris, Duffs, Dekline, Ipath, Vox, and the worst one... Supra
I have the Dekline Archers and their the best shoe ive ever had, and i had vox, worst disition of my entire life.
-
never owned nikes, ive come close to getting some a few times. but i feel kind of guilty looking at nikes under my feet. ive had adidas and cons and i loved both of those and i wouldnt mind janoskis just to try
i am guilty of frequently purchasing vans though. i cant get enough of those TNT 5's
-
dc
etnies
dvs
globe

circa
lakai
fallen
supra
-
I've probably had at least a pair of every brand except for Osiris and Globe, mostly because they don't feel good. Lately I've been sticking to Adidas and Nike, they last me so much longer than say a pair of vans or any soletech shoe.
-
DC
Supra
Are the only brands that really disgust me, with DC it's partly their customers (jocks who don't skate), and with Supra most of their shoes look so ridiculous that I cant even take them seriously.
But the list of shoe brands I simply don't care enough about to ever buy would be a lot longer.
Haha! Currently riding Supra Dixon,theyre really comfy. Still think the brand is lame though.

Don't!! Once you try them every other shoe will suck

i guess anything but ipaths nowadays just for backinthedays

niggas really be feelin GUILTY about wearing nikes, adidas, etc?
its a fuckin shoe. i mean really, QUALITY shoes at that. just because the companies arent 100% skateboarding doesnt make them evil. its fucking footwear, not a badge of credibility. ive had around 7-8 different pairs of nikes sb's & they've all been some of the best shoes ive skated in. the new dunks probably have the lightest & longest lasting cupsole on the market right now & its based off a basketball shoe. the thing about these bigger corporations is that they can use their exclusive tech & designs that work in other styles of footwear & make that into great skate shoes. the busenitz was based off dennis' favorite soccer cleat, and it was fuckin hit. nikes using that lunarlon shit from running shoes and implementing that into their shoes as well. that shit is dope. if companies outside of skateboarding wanna get in tha game all that i ask is that they come correct with their shit. with nike & adidas making some of the best shoes out right now & having super sick teams id say they've made their place in skateboarding. even if yall wanna say "oh but they have all the money for their marketing campaign, blah blah" you cant say that they havent put that shit to good use.

I skate pretty much only Janoskis, and yes.. I would have to say that Im feeling kind of guilty for buying Nike SB's. They dont need my money. I would rather prefer that some core company like HUF or something got my money, but the Janoskis are to good to give up.
You have to think about why these companys got into skateboarding.. Its not like they all of a sudden wanted to support skateboarding because its awesome, its because they realized that there was money to be made.

im not saying other companys dont make great shoes. half-cabs are still some of the best shoes around, but honestly most "core" companies have lesser quality materials & tech and just copy/paste other shoe designs. i love lakai as a brand, but the carroll selects i had were straight ass. as far as core skateboarding companies i fuck with eS, emerica, supra, and sometimes vans but vans isnt even that core anyway. i may try those etnies bledsoes or some of the newer DC's but thats about it. at the end of the day im more concerned about a shoes performance & if its worth my money rather than if im "staying in the family". i support skateboarding all the time. i dont need to feel guilty about anything & im not gonna let that limit my choices. if they just want my money, so be it. i just want quality shoes to skate in & theyve been worth the money every time.

Yeah, I feel you.. But what Im trying to say is that I would rather give my money to companys who really need every dime the can get to make their business stay alive, instead of supporting brands that make tons of money. But when It all breaks down, I do go for quality. That is why I always buy Janoskis.

My feet love whats apropriate :
skate shoes for skateboarding, sport shoes for sports, boat shoes for fishing.

truth. they used to make sport shoes that were good to skate in, and now they've made those shoes even better by making them skate-specific! plus, they give a lot of awesome skaters a lot of cash. sure, the big shot nike and adidas owners get a lot of money out of it too, but i'm sure "core" companies aren't owned by just nice people i'd want to give my money to either. it's all about quality. nike and adidas make great shoes = why not by them? at the end of the day you decide what you spend your money on, might as well be shoes that last long and skate the way you need them to.
