i wouldnt buy anything else if they still made this shoe. it is easily the best shoe ive had performance/comfort/looks
-
The OG Manchesters. I'd buy 100 pairs.

had some black Zoom Tre AD's back when they first came out. even to this day it is arguably the best shoe I've ever skated. Its had all the same bells & whistles that are now the standard in most modern cupsoles. The original one is still sick as well

eS Square 2 (cold fusion edition).
Easily the most skateable and comfortable shoe right out of the box for me.
Every pair I had was better than the previous one!

the ricky oyola Kastel shoes. didn't need laces cause the elastic on the tongue and the sides wore out before the bottom as it should be. i don't know if it's 'cupsole' vs 'vulcanized' but all the shoes today are a piece of shit and my front foot's sole keeps getting holes before the rest of it and that never happened in the 90s. oh the 90s!

Weren't all Nike SB laces Kevlar at first? At least the dunks were.

Vans TNT 2s
i left a pair in the mud in Tennessee while I was drunk off redbull and vodkas at the VIP at bonnaroo.
Wish they still made Rowley XLT originals. Fav shoe ever.

Oh em gee, those shoes were awesome. I had them in all brown. The moment I saw them I knew I had to have them. Took some doing to convince my mom to spend $90 on shoes, but I was persistent, and they were mine.

original Adidas Campus Vulcs before all of the noticeable changes were made
Lakai Mike Mo --- these were one of the best shoes I ever skated, and I really only bought them because my shop didn't have the (at the time) new Reynolds Classics in my size.

Great looking and padded shoe. I think I paid ?65 for them ayear after they came out.
-

i loved those ellingtons. Best looking and performing shoe for the time IMO. I had the all brown ones, black and white leather, and all black ones. I even bought a pair when they switched the shoe over to Supra. Something about the Supras weren't right though. The premium suede blew out in under a week and this was a time in my life where skate shoes lasted at least a month and a half to two months
I always wanted the Vans Mountain Editions when they came out. The high tops looked sick, and the low tops even sicker. The rowley slims were amazing once you got past the heel blisters/the back of your heel rubbing raw from the oddly placed suede piece. What was the name of that last Jim Greco Vans shoe that looked like a loafer with a cupsole? Those were awesome
-
The Rowley Slims! almost forgot about that one. perfect flick and board feel, came in a shit load of colors too had about 4 pairs. was pretty bummed that the rowley squares that came afterwards sucked so much

The Greco shoes your talking about, were called the "escobars" I had them in that weird green/black leather color way, they were actually really good for skating.

Those are like polar opposites. The first ones will rip in 4 days and the second ones will last you 2 months.

I never understood this shoe. At the time the market wasn't there for 2 super similar shoes. It's just a half cab with slightly different paneling and lace protectors. Don't get me wrong, they're awesome, I always wanted a pair. It's too bad these were out at a time in my life when I didn't pay for my shoes.

I could name so many shoes I wish were still in production but mostly for me it's colourways.
I regret not getting this original busenitz colourway when it first came out

Also this janoski colourway (I don't know about the US but in the UK hipsters have ruined janoskis

Nearly every time I'm on the tube I'll see some Dalston hipster wearing Janoski's and I'll glance at both shoes and sure enough no griptape marks anywhere to be seen bu they're faded from wear. This is what happens when Nike Town starts selling them. Plus I've noticed a few "not quite Janoski" styles Nikes in the window of Footlocker and Jd Sports.

I shit you not I gave an unworn pair of these to charity a few months back. Was given them by a Vans flow rider, I'd had them for so many years and they were just too small no matter how much I tried to stretch them out.

Spot on man, where im living its got to the extent to which 12 year old girls are wearing them. I know the not quite Janoskis you're on about pretty sure they're called the "satire"

I loved these shoes:
(http://assets.caughtinthecrossfire.com/skate/news/vansav3.gif)
I just cut out the extra stuffing from the tongue. I blew out my first pair and tried a pair of etnies Taylors and bought a second pair of AV3s as soon as I could. I was pissed that they took them out of production by the time I needed another pair. The sole was great too. It was a perfect mix between cup and vulc. I don't know why Vans doesn't use it on more shoes.

I could see myself still skating in the first No Skools.
Shoes I didn't get to try but would like to? Emerica MJs, Koston 2s and Rowley Slims.
Wasn't a fan of those AV cupsoles. Stiff and crumbling sole.

I loved these shoes:
I just cut out the extra stuffing from the tongue. I blew out my first pair and tried a pair of etnies Taylors and bought a second pair of AV3s as soon as I could. I was pissed that they took them out of production by the time I needed another pair. The sole was great too. It was a perfect mix between cup and vulc. I don't know why Vans doesn't use it on more shoes.
the mountain editions was a good shoe but they were kinda heavy tho it hurt my knees trying to pick those up
I had a pair of the mountain editions, they looked pretty cool but I never really enjoyed skating them to be honest.

Vans should give the J-Lay the Rowley pro lite treatment and release them. The J-Lay was a pretty underrated shoe, but not as underrated as Dollins last shoe.

They're weird looking but I remember seeing them at the skate shop as a kid and they were only shoes priced at $125.

i loved those ellingtons. Best looking and performing shoe for the time IMO. I had the all brown ones, black and white leather, and all black ones. I even bought a pair when they switched the shoe over to Supra. Something about the Supras weren't right though. The premium suede blew out in under a week and this was a time in my life where skate shoes lasted at least a month and a half to two months
I always wanted the Vans Mountain Editions when they came out. The high tops looked sick, and the low tops even sicker. The rowley slims were amazing once you got past the heel blisters/the back of your heel rubbing raw from the oddly placed suede piece. What was the name of that last Jim Greco Vans shoe that looked like a loafer with a cupsole? Those were awesome
i loved the Rowley Slims too, Fork. they sat in my closet from 2005 until 2011, until i finally skated them. i hated that suede piece in the heel, but that shoe might be the best i've ever had.

I think I was the only person who liked the adidas Silas pro, but I loved these shoes.

AXION mariano:

I actually have a pair of these left (same color) that I never skated in and still wear them all the time. Great shoes and good for skating too. They were kind of expensive though and they don't sell them by me.

i would be cool if vans made a updated version of the cab 4 this was a good shoe

not a bad thread tracer, some good shoe nostalgia right here.
damn i'm really missing that ellington shoe. i had that red and grey color way but had the grey and blue ones too. damn i miss that shoe.
nydoggular do you remember a few years ago when the manchester was being found in marshalls and ross stores for $25-30? shit was insane.
i wish they still made the slip on pros so bad.

Yep every Ross and Last Chance around here had pairs of the black/gum Manchesters. Scooped up as many as I could.

Loved the Rowley Specials although they needed a bit of super glue on the seams. They had a wider toe box which was awesome. And the ad with Geoff doing that ollie over those shipping containers stacked 3 or 4 high was bonkers

whatever shoe Bastien skated a bunch in the lordz video. either the xl2 or xlt.
I know they re-released the rowley pro, but they're not the same. I still have a pair from 2001 and the tongue is different
Dc kalis 1 black gum sole. can't find a pic though

Some of my early favourites - along with the MJ1 and one of Tyrone Olson's Osiris shoes that I couldn't find. I loved the skate shoe era when they were hideous and bulky but before the ridiculously fat/tech phase really took off. Although I probably wouldn't wear them now.

I could name so many shoes I wish were still in production but mostly for me it's colourways.
I regret not getting this original busenitz colourway when it first came out
(http://sk8land.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/adidas_busenitz_pro.jpg)
I had these and they were fucking perfect. I made a top ten list a while back. I really miss the Trooper from Fallen. I never had a pair of the MJ II, but I think it's time for a reissue.

There was a Circa Muska shoe I really wanted when I was younger. It was white/red. The red went right over the toes. But I can't find a name or picture. Any ideas?

I really miss the eS Square Two and the Lakai Mike Mo. I know they were only out a few years ago, but still.
The Mike Mo's were so great - the function, fit, comfort, and durability was all there. And too, that's when I noticed Lakai finally starting to turn things around. Great shoe.

Someone find me the es danny garcias . Best

OG etnies rap (blue/white) or the black/white nike GTS.

I wish this colorway of the Lakai Marc was still produced. The other ones that have a patch of leather at the mid-top section aren't as comfortable and the new Marc selects don't have the amazing blue Polyurethane insole that comes as standard on Lakai SWS models, have the Griffin-based sole instead of the original Marc sole with deeper grooves, and all have a patch of leather at the mid-top region that is stiff and uncomfortable because it rubs against your ankle. I talked to Kelly Bird and he says that Lakai will discontinue the SWS technology that I am so fond of. It's rather unfortunate because I really liked them, they were very comfortable.

would definitely still wear this if I got my hands on a pair

a guy at my local park came up on a pair through either ebay or craigslist and was skating in them a few weeks ago. Pretty much everyone over the age of 21 stopped him to tell him it was rad.
