Hey I was using up too much bandwidth in the Sale Gear Thread and as far as I know there isn't a thread dedicated to one of my favourite topics, so let's talk about skating in shoes that weren't made for skating, and random off-brand shoes that would be good to skate in. I think Puma Suedes are one of the best shoes to skate in of all time.
I ordered a pair of these Reebok Viennas from Ebay forever ago, and they ended up being so fucking good to skate.

ponys skate just like pumas, used to skate the lows a lot 10 years ago, quality may be different now

Those pony’s are almost exactly a blazer copycat, literally the shape and stitching and all
Just the sole is different and no swoosh

found these regular nike all court qs at the outlet
store for like 20 bucks. they were super good for
skateboarding. they held up quite a long time as
well. would love to have another pair but i cannot
find another cheap one. did not expect it, but the
leather was very strong and the laces did not rip.
-
all the adidas classics that were rereleased as skate shoes (maybe except gazelles as the gazelle soles are very thin)
i have old pairs of sambas and stan smiths that i skated in somewhere, i'll look for them later and if i find them i'll post pictures. stan smiths are ok, nothing special though but sambas are great skate shoes, if you ever find a pair for cheap buy them, they're really fucking good
puma suedes seem to be good for skating too, i've never had a pair but one of my homies did have a couple and they seemed to last a fair amount of time.
one of the non-skate shoes that seemed good for skating but weren't are the classic nb pro courts, they have soft soles that you will get a hole in after a week of skating, the skate version is much much better

Damn, I've never seen those Reeboks... not bad. Club C's are pretty good with a bit of glue when the toe stitching pops. Did you have to order those from over seas/the US?

Ahaha Zach, I know you love the non-skate shoes!
haha guilty, was trying to find a pic of the my Adidas crater hiking boots circa '96, worst and most obvious ankle-roll ever. I remember taking them off on the spot and leaving them on top of an electrical box.

I've skated a pair! They have a nice shape to them and skated quite good. Cons were at least on my pair that the suede was quite soft but overall I'd still recommend them.
Stoked on this thread! Maybe like half of my skate shoes have been other than skate shoes. Indoor type shoes generally have a good grip and have more futuristic look, onitsuka tigers are good too, reedoks, regular cons are great. most lifestyle shoes have felt and that's about the only thing you have to worry about..
Thoughts in skateshoes being overrated?

I wore regular Shelltoes for years, occasionally mixing it up with Fila Fitness or Nike Tennis Classic Acs. All super good for skating.
Lately I cant find proper shelltoes, they are all this new Superstar Foundation rubbish, cheap as shit and dont last at all. So the last couple of years has been back to Halfcabs, couple of pairs of DCs and Es too.
-
Definitely agree on Samba's being absolutely fantastic to skate in. The flick on those, at least at the time, was great.
-
(https://i.imgur.com/coGEgp8_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)
here’s my pair of sambas, couldn’t find the stan smiths
as you can see i really tried to make them last, they were too good ;D ;D i think i’ve had this pair for ~4 months, the soles are still in great condition and they were like $20
-
what a fuck you to skateboarders, the regular ones have a legit second layer under the toe, then the "skate" ones don't, amazing
-
I second Sambas - great shoe to skate, even the usual black leather/gum sole ones, though I'd imagine suede would feel much better.
Speaking of Fila, does anyone know if they're starting a skate team or is it just gonna be Sewa (like Joe Brezinski and Puma)?

Came to post Puma suedes, got them from a vintage fair and they were one of the best skate shoes I've had. Held up great and skated great.

I skated some Polo Nike GTS knock offs that I got at Ross when I was in SF. Had the felt on the sole, but dragged my foot on a few hill bombs and that took care of most of it. Didn't really bother me. One of my favourite pairs of shoes I ever skated.

Also when I was living in New Zealand I found these no name GTS knock offs at the equivalent of Wal-Mart for $5.00. Super fun to skate as I've never skated true GTS but always loved them.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0GKFZluWcik/TZQk3aL-rhI/AAAAAAAAK64/CeBpGlOQJEg/s400/P1030946.JPG)
I skated a pair of those Reebok NPC in all white also! Had a crest on the side, got them hella cheap at a discount supermarket. They were kinda tippy cause the sole is narrow, but would skate again for sure.

Wasn't Lucien skating Workouts? Should watch that again, great part.
I have always felt exactly the opposite about skate shoes vs non-skate shoes... Skate brands generally take inspiration from from classic sport brand staples, but make tweaks to the silhouette and get rid of the ugly parts to make a shoe that's not only better for skating, but also looks better. For example - The Duffs KcK was better looking and worked better for skating than the Reebok Workout which it was modeled after (actually the Workout Plus), and the Club C's upper stitching doesn't hold up well at all for skating, yet it's silhouette is the inspiration for countless classic skate shoes that performed much better than the original. Skate brands also tend to do better colorways.

Adidas Handball Spezial.
I found a pair in a second hand shop, they were close to free and close to the best skate shoes I ever had. I still have them even though they're destroyed BECAUSE they're not destroyed to destruction, ie. obliterated.
-
these reebok viennas and adidas handball spezial both look great, would definitively grab a pair for cheap

and sambas too, think i had some in the 90's, or maybe it was just a homie

Would have been cool to just post all these in the sale gear thread. I had this pair of pf flyers and really enjoyed skating them. No felt on the sole and they held up really well.

Don't you work at a skateshop Watson? It doesn't bother you that people buy all these random shoes on ebay and other places? It's something I feel kind of guilty about.

Ooooh I really want to skate a pair of PF Flyers, but can never find them for cheap. A friend of mine in Japan who is a famous actor actually had his own PF Flyer colourway and ad campaign and another of my friends skated his colourway and they looked so sick.
And yeah, I basically run a skateshop that my friend owns, but no it doesn't bum me out. Skateboarding is all about being stoked as possible while you're skating. If you get off on skating some random shoes, it's all good. We have dudes on our team who sometimes skate random kicks haha. Chances are dudes who do that won't be getting every single pair from somewhere like that, so they'll eventually buy some from us. Bums me out more when someone buys from Zumiez or West 49 rather than spend their money at our store.

- adidas superstar
- nike dunk lows
- adidas campus

And in the late nineties it was a 'hype' to skate nike cortez over here.

I like skating air max 95's. They remind me of Muskas early Circas. Also skated some random Nike hiking shoe it was weird but after they broke in they were comforfable and flicked good (full suede). Also skated nike spiridons. The spiridons and 95's are ankle rollers though. But my heel never hurt after bailing.

Yeah I've had a pair of the Baskets, but any time I check those out or the Clydes, the sole is just way stiffer than the Suedes. Suedes are the jam. Legitimately one of the best shoes to skate in of all time. Sucks you can't find them hella cheap like you used to.
Also I'd like to contribute how fresh this picture of Reese Forbes in the Reebok runners is.

I remember these, these are good.
There are some great Tennis shoes - indoor tennis that have really nice silhouettes and build for skating.
Also I fully back Reebok classics, Nike FCs, Umbro Shell toes without the shelled toe, Do Vans slip ons count? Because that shoe is goooood to skate in.

I've been curious for a while on those indoor predators. They remind me of a koston 3 laceless.
Found a sale pair today so I just ordered it. They have boost midsole, the stripes are rubberized and the toe is coated. Should last decently. I kinda dig the Colorway too... Lets see how they skate.

I'll comeback to talk about more shoes but I absolutelly love to see people skating in non skate shoes. Gino in nike indoor soccer shoes, busenitz in sambas, wade D in Jordan 3's or anyone in runners... It just looks sick.

Once I was a having some massive blisters with the huf shoes I was skating so I just changed to my nike frees that where in my bag mid session and they actually felt really good for that bit. The heel was just too unstable, but other than that I was feeling it. Mad confort, and the flex was awesome.

I wanna try these, in any color, they're only 50 E non-sale,
At first I was afraid the rubber 'd be too stiff/hard,
but i bought a pair of paladium rip offs for 25 and the rubber on that one was soft and grippy.
they got other skateable models too.

Can't believe I'm the first one mentioning Chuck Taylors, the good old classics and not the pro version. The best board feel and comfy as hell. The first shoes I skated, and after trying more tech stuff I still really love em.

love this shoe for some reason, good find

Dunlop Volley's had a bit of a skate range in the mid 2000's but was pulled due to the 'Global Financial Crisis' (and some other reasons apparently) but have always been a staple in non skate skateable shoes within Australia.

I picked up a pair of the Adidas vs Pace at Burlington for around $35. Also spotted them at Ross for under $40. I added Footprint kingfoam insoles and they are perfect! So far they are holding up so well, I'm thinking about buying a couple more pairs to hold onto for the future.
-
while it is Nike SB, anyone skate the Bruin max? Or the Janoski max? I guess they're technically not skate shoes but also are at the same time. I just bought both on sale, just for comfort shoes but I'm thinking the bruin might be a good shoe to skate. I like a thicker sole in general because I broke some of the small bones in my feet a few years ago and they hurt super bad whenever I land wrong.

would be sick if someone skated a pair of these it wont happen cause of the price but a full suede jordan 11 low seems like a shoe that would last forever

I'm skating a pair of the og Sambas with the floppy soccer tongue and they skate so well. The shape of the toe is perfect and the toecap is a layer of suede on top of leather, so I feel like they're going to last me a long time.

You're thinking of the skate version where they made it weaker than the original.

Yeah my Sambas definitely have two layers of material. Definitely a dumb move on Adidas' part to get rid of that for the skate version, I would never buy those.

i got a pair of Bruin maxes for the same reason a couple months ago and skated them probably 6 or 7 times even though i said i wouldn't
honestly, they're one of my favorite skate shoes in a while and i usually don't even like lowtops
i dont kno if the leather (at least mine are leather) will last long at all, but they skate amazing

Currently skating non skate Adidas Campuses, and I am reminded why they were some of my favourite skate shoes in the 90s.

Wait... you're telling me the OG sambas' leather extends to the sole?!

Puma suede are some of the best of all time. I keep a pair around "just in case". I've got 2 purr of Reynolds G6, 2 purr of adidas busenitz pro (my feet hate these), and 1 purr of adidas busenitz vulc right now though. Although I think busenitz pro have been demoted to "not skating shoes" for me. Vulc are in the box waiting. Hope they don't hurt my feet. Anyway, what happened to the puma suede with the thick tongue? Got some in nz and they were boss

I might have pull the trigger and get some of these. It's only 5€ to ship to where I live. But I'm not sure about the quality.. Also they have vegan versions of some other models but none of them looked skatable..
-
Did you guys ever try them? Are they durable? Just dip the toe in shoe goo or something else?

A few summers ago I was skating the shit out of the Nike Toki mid. Exact same vulc sole as what was on the Janoski and every other vulc SB offering.

while it is Nike SB, anyone skate the Bruin max? Or the Janoski max? I guess they're technically not skate shoes but also are at the same time. I just bought both on sale, just for comfort shoes but I'm thinking the bruin might be a good shoe to skate. I like a thicker sole in general because I broke some of the small bones in my feet a few years ago and they hurt super bad whenever I land wrong.
i got a pair of Bruin maxes for the same reason a couple months ago and skated them probably 6 or 7 times even though i said i wouldn't. honestly, they're one of my favorite skate shoes in a while and i usually don't even like lowtops. i dont kno if the leather (at least mine are leather) will last long at all, but they skate amazing
On the new KOTR season is looks like Zion skates daily in the Bruin Max.
-
I have wound up skating the bruin max a few times. Mine are the suede ones, so the uppers are just fine. They're definitely comfortable. Only thing I don't like is how light the sole is, and it's not very grippy. I got used to it though.

He’s been skating those since am scramble last year . I feel like it might skate but it just adds to my feelings on Zion having no real style and is just a manufactured Nike skate drone. He’s the worst.

the kid from IC olan prennat skates jordans exclusively I think, and does some gnarly stuff in them too.
Pf flyers and chucks might as well be skate shoes, my favorite non skate shoes are reeboks though, most of the classics are real good.

love this thread. reeboks are the best. just got a pair of club c's and some filas OG's for a steal on footlocker, cant wait to skate em

Yeah I second reeboks! The leather is really nice and soft for the price you pay..
Currently wearing reebok exofit hi's and somehow they remind me of dunk hi's in a good way.. They have a good slim toe box and protection in the ankle area..
There is no way I'll pay close to a hundred for shoe that I'm going to destroy in a couple of weeks... So this thread has been a inspiration foe me!
Also if you don't like to wear the same stuff everybody else wears like I don't there are far more greater and stylish options to choose from.. Diversify your bonds my pals..

any suede pumas skate awesome
Jordan 1s
Jordan 3
I skated in some Air Force 1s and personally loved them

dark gum, red corduroy ones....
they actualy have a truck graphic on the bottom as if theyre some kinda skateboard shoe,
will report back when i get to skate them

Nike “Big Nike” highs. I copped a black faux suede pair at a thrift store and they’ve lasted so long. Skate so good. I put emerica insoles in there tho. All around very similar to regular dunks or Jordan 1’s, but are less sought after so way less expensive :o

Bruin max is one of my new favorite shoes to skate. one piece inner booty is definitely comfortable. totally agree with what's said here, and I kind of want another pair but they're still like 70 or even 80 most places

I always wanted to try indoor soccer shoes but never saw them cheap enough to justify the experiment.
Found some Adidas indoor super at an outlet for¥3500 ($30us) recently and had my first skate in them today.
Probably the best board feel straight out of the box of any shoe I've ever had. It was my first session on a new board too and I usually feel hell awkward when new shoes and board line up like a solar eclipse.
Curious to see how they go for durability but heaps of (ugly) flip tricks today and looking good so far.

Funny you should post this. I skated these Adidas Messi for a few sessions and was actually surprised, I really liked them. Crazy comfortable and amazing fit. Flex points are great, heel lock perfect. They actually skate just like the Huf Dylan, overall shape and fit are almost identical.

I find it hilarious how similar those two vastly different shoes are.
It's like movies where two brothers are separated in their youth and one becomes a cop a the other one becomes a gangster but they are uncannily similar in undeniable ways.
-
Not sure I understand the reference. I've skated both, so that's where my post is coming from. The Dylan could double as an indoor soccer shoe.

A post in another thread reminded me of these fresh Saucony Hangtimes I skated 11 or 12 years ago. They were really fun.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1gOUKEciPTY/RprhtSW0JjI/AAAAAAAAAPw/Clj77oXA_jI/s1600/IMG_3598.JPG)
I also got these vulcanized Sauconys in Japan, bought two pair of them and still have one pair sitting at home. It's called the "Master Hi Toppo". Basically this exact colourway but the logo is gold.
(https://i.imgur.com/DD4yKpa.jpg)
-
those sauconys kind of reminded me of these gravis lowdowns i used to get circa 2004, before they had a skate program, i had a "lifestyle" hookup. there was a japan only version with a rounder toe that i could never get them to send me. i skated some truly horrible models but these were decent

The first one doesn't look any different than other Adidas skate shoes.
That Reebok has an ankle roller sole. I'd say Club C's, Revenge etc have a better sole for skating and almost identical upper.

Haven’t. They look like they’d be sick. There is a ton of Jordan’s that look like they’d work well. Hoping someone chimes in with an opinion on them. I’ll try and find them in person.
-
I skated Jordan 1s all last summer and I'm assuming these would probably skate the same. Love the Jordan 1. Way better than a Dunk in my opinion. A lot less chunkier and the sole has better boardfeel.

It's been a long time since Simple Shoes were a skate brand but I scored a pair of these for $9.

They're a "simple" vulc shoe but i'm surprised by the quality of the tread and the memory foam insole, only skated them a bit but they skate a lot like classic vans and i'm just really digging the feel. Might want to check out their cupsoles too after these.

For a little while, Pappalardo was heavily promoting Fred Perry as skate shoes on his instagram.

Puma Suedes, Adidas Samba and Gazelle, Converse Weapon High, PF Flyers

I'm feeling those Fred Perrys. Nike GT upper. The shape is really good. Would look cool on a classic cupsole.
-
Puma Suedes, Adidas Samba and Gazelle, Converse Weapon High, PF Flyers
I know it's been mentioned on another page too but seriously the Sambas are the greatest. Put some super glue on the toecap seams, put in a more cushiony insole and they're better than 75% of the other shoes I've had. Plus they're so easy to find for cheap on ebay, thrift stores, or all those mercari/depop type sites.

This is an interesting thread. I used to skate the non SB dunks and had so much luck with them.
I've always thought soccer shoes would make good skate shoes.... it makes sense, they use their feet and can not afford injuries. So they have low profile soles and the like... having said that my foot never fits in any damn soccer shoe.. they are always too thin. As are most skate shoes for me.

I'm trying the Nike Davinho out, just one session so far. I don't think I've seen anyone talk about them or skate them ever? Probably wrong on that. I have two pairs, I skated the other pair, not this pair:
(https://i.imgur.com/yYIDM5i.jpg)
The toe stitching already blew out after a few kickflip attempts, so I doubt they'll last long. But they fit and look great - I have a thinner foot so they're really comfortable - and have great grip. A lot of soccer shoes or athletic shoes aren't too grippy, but these are.
-

I was actually visiting a friend a few months ago who works at a "family" shoe store or whatever in my hometown. They had a pair of Nike Davinho's in the athletic shoe section and actually tried on a pair. I remember the sizing being a little strange, but being suprised at how they looked in skatability. I also think they look cool too. I never bought a pair but now you got me thinking about it. I just looked and you can find them for super cheap.

For sure, try them out if you can afford them. If they don't skate well, they're great casual shoes as well.

Adidas continental 80s. They flick exactly like dunks minus the break in time and stiffness and are a lot lighter and grippier.

I haven't tried them that much yet for skating, but Hummel Stadil handball shoes seem decent and I like how they look.

Only problem with these is that the sole is super stiff and almost too grippy. Anything that is marketed as a MTB shoe sucks for skating.

He might have said that but his shoe is almost an exact copy of the Asics Top Seven, which was mentioned in this thread earlier.

It's even got that little notch at the back of the heel and the logo on the sole in the same place.

Not surprisingly that may be one of the only good shoes Osiris ever made.

i loved these nike indoor soccer shoes. they had the same sole as the fc, which is also one of my favorites.

Oh I would definitely fuck with those Hi-Tec squash shoes. Mainly because I'm Canadian and have a soft spot for Hi-Tec because in the 90s grunge days we all used to rock Hi-Tec hiking boots with our cut off shorts with long underwear underneath that looked like this:

I'll be honest - I don't know how people skate in these things, but I didn't buy them for skating. The green ones are more recent. I find the Reebok Workout low(which is very similar) much more comfortable, though still quite thick soles for skating in. I skate cupsole shoes like Sal 97's. They're not nearly as thick.
Does anyone know if the DGK versions of the Original Fitness had a slimmer sole at all? The colors were nice.

Pretty sure the DGK RBK soles were as hard if not harder than the originals. I remember being stoked on then, picking them up, pressing my thumb into the sole and it was an instant "nope".

I got a pair of the shi rbk workouts online a while ago. Granted they’re almost fifteen years old but the soles are bricks

I mow my lawn in a pair of Workout Plus. The soles are super hard.

Damn those Puma lows look great. Would definitely fuck with those. I love skating white leather.
I saw those Workouts with the Club sole and would definitely skate better than the Workout sole, but just doesn't look as fresh without the split midsole.

Thanks for the info! I looked around for a while and could not find out definitively that this was a cupsole and I just thought it kind of looked like a vulc. I knew it was around the time basketball shoes were switching to cupsole but I thought maybe it was just a little old school for it's time.
Yes they definitely remind me of the Top Ten. I don't know much about Adidas but it looks like their Matchcourt High RX2 utilizes a similar ankle collar. I tried to do some research on the history of the Matchcourt itself before skateboarding but I couldn't find much. I'm guessing it was a tennis shoe not a basketball shoe? So the Matchcourt High RX2 would be quite a hybrid of sorts.

The Top Ten was the first basketball shoe over 100$ price tag from what I was told. They were the best shoes your could get at the time they were released... The matchcourt is not an old shoe tho. It's a modern design based on the Nizza but for skating. That RX2 was made to look like a Top Ten vulc hybrid of sorts... (They even used some of its OG colors on it.), I'm still more fan of the OG Top Ten.

I've been curious for a while on those indoor predators. They remind me of a koston 3 laceless.
Found a sale pair today so I just ordered it. They have boost midsole, the stripes are rubberized and the toe is coated. Should last decently. I kinda dig the Colorway too... Lets see how they skate.

I'll comeback to talk about more shoes but I absolutelly love to see people skating in non skate shoes. Gino in nike indoor soccer shoes, busenitz in sambas, wade D in Jordan 3's or anyone in runners... It just looks sick.

Once I was a having some massive blisters with the huf shoes I was skating so I just changed to my nike frees that where in my bag mid session and they actually felt really good for that bit. The heel was just too unstable, but other than that I was feeling it. Mad confort, and the flex was awesome.
Did you tried them? The indoor predators
-
These on deck:
I've been eyeballing these kind of kicks to skate but haven't found one in decent color way yet..
I'm interested to know how they skate. The fit in most of this type shoes should be very nice but the material could be a swing and a miss though..

I did got them, but they are too tight in my True Size. it doesnt really stretch out because of the coating and it makes it painful to wear, so they've been collecting dust for like a year now... :-\

The Handball Top original tooling usually has a outrigger thing that makes it hard to skate, but this colorway has the handball spezial tooling (same used on the busenitz), which is perfectly skateable. They look dope altho the price is a bit steep.

And for the fellas that like the continental 80, there's now a vulc version which looks really good. Like a vulc Dunk/Reebok hybrid. Should skate nicelly, same outsole has a matchcourt/adiease,etc...

I believe those are the ADIDAS HARDEN VOL. 3.
I'd back it. There needs to be more outside-the-box thinking in skate shoes. Those feature boost which has recently made its way into a model or two of Adidas skate shoes, albeit only in the heel I think.
I don't know much about basketball but I'm pretty sure the different positions look for different things in shoes. Harden is a Shooting guard / Point guard. I don't know how that translates to skateboarding, I just know that some basketball shoes have way more "court feel" than others.

IMO The BA should have had hidden lace loops like the Tre although I never had either.

i am digging basketball shoes lately. i wouldn't mind if skateshoes would take some cues from modern basketball shoes but toned them down a bit and of course used suede or something skateable instead of knit materials that are very common nowadays.
watson, those j1s look like you had a real good time. would be cool if you could post pics of the puma suedes also after you're done skating them.

Send me $10 and I'll show you as many pics as my shoes as you want you freakazoid.
Just kidding, shoes last me forever but yeah I'll post a pic at the end of the summer. The J's was the best time. I guess the ones I had actually resell now for lots of money but I don't regret skating them.

*polo Ralph Lauren boat shoes.
*Nike dunks. the basketball ones, not the SB ones. used to be able to find these at every Ross. haven’t seen them in years. you can tell which ones are basketball ones because there is absolutely 0% padding in the tounge.

I had regular dunks before Nike SB was happening and I think I do remember the tongue being thin and not a ton of insole support but man those were some of the best shoes I ever skated.
-
I’ve never tried the non SB dunks on but the cool thing about those is you can Nike ID your own colorway.

I'm trying the Nike Davinho out, just one session so far. I don't think I've seen anyone talk about them or skate them ever? Probably wrong on that. I have two pairs, I skated the other pair, not this pair:
(https://i.imgur.com/yYIDM5i.jpg)
The toe stitching already blew out after a few kickflip attempts, so I doubt they'll last long. But they fit and look great - I have a thinner foot so they're really comfortable - and have great grip. A lot of soccer shoes or athletic shoes aren't too grippy, but these are.
nvm found my answer
thought of this shoe the moment i saw this thread. this may be my favorite shoe i’ve ever skated. I threw some extra insoles in from a pair of running shoes and was pretty good about shoe gooing them regularly. I found a pair on clearance in Shoe Carnival in 2014? Haven’t seen a pair since, i enjoyed these more than my SB Gatos to be honest.

You can find them on eBay pretty easily. I bought a few pairs from a store called Sport Chek but they only have size 13s now. Great shoe for sure!

Thrifted some Air Force 1s for like $12, considering skating them. Anyone here skated a pair before?
-
Puleo skates them and I've been seeing a lot of locals skate them. Stevie got some clips in them. I can't imagine they are good. It seems like you can tell there is no board feel when you watch the clips. Obviously Puleo and Williams still pull it off mad steezy. If you don't need any boardfeel you might be able to make it work but I bet they are heavy and the traction won't be as good as an SB Dunk.

Ha, that’s dope. I’ve been heavy into this idea over the last few weeks. I have skated some. CC is correct in that there is reduced board feels. But....so whut. You are still rolling. You kind of more club your board, not so much of a flick. Unless you are Cyrus and have some of the best kickflips ever. When I got mine a motivator was my foot pain. They help there. The shoes are heavy as fuck tho and my knees felt it. I’m made out of tissue paper apparently. I’ve been trying to find the ultra force ones that had the reduced weight. I also want to check the flyknit out. I’ll skate in anything tho. I was trying to find some harden 1s to try, the upcoming Jordan 4 flyknits depending on where the plastic overlays are....I looked at the Kobe ad. There is actually some Nike tennis shoes that have an e-cue like cage.
Blah blah. Do it

The soles are like platforms. I agree with poster above that you are clubbing your board with your feet. The soles have no grip and you can’t feel your board. Also, the ankle roll factor is high because of the hard edge on the sole.
For $12 you prolly aren’t going to be flossin’ In those thangs, so give it a try but they are a far cry from the Jordan 1s.
For my money Stan Smith’s and Superstars are the best nonskate skateshoe but they have to have terry cloth or fabric, respectively, interiors. All shoes with pleather interiors suck if your feet sweat.

^Not bad. Reebok does a bunch of shoes that are all basically Club C's with minor tweaks. The sole on thee is the best looking one for skate purposes.

Nathan Evans skates them in Green Apple Supper's Ready but I can't find it on YouTube. I'm sure wavytrillbaby or wheoever skated all those J's did in his section too.
I love that shoe and have always thought it would be sick, but the sole seems waaaaay too thick and hard to skate (for me anyway).

Stranger Things x Nike “OG Pack/Independence Day”
I get that they aren't SB, but those are basically the exact same shoes Nike has in their skate line.
I have never understood the love for Nike, let alone the obsession with the brand so many people seem to have.
-
Okay, I just didn't feel they needed to be in the SB thread since they aren't SB's. They are however very skateable and therefore I thought someone might find them to be of interest.
Edit: The whole Nike SB concept from the beginning seems to be “Non Skate Shoes Good for Skating” so I suppose it is weird to separate the non SB’s from the SB’s but the constructions and distribution are different.
-
also a good reason to slap a price markup on em ;)
-
Well the retail price of SB Blazers are significantly cheaper than the retail price of Nike Sportswear Blazers. $85 vs $100. Those Stranger Things Blazers are $120.
-

i suppose it depends on the model, i know here i could walk into any generic sneaker store and get a set of regular nike blazers for around £44 whereas the sb models are £64. i dont doubt there's certain sb models that are close to in price if not less than normal ones but from what ive seen when looking for shoes sbs have a fair markup.
was it adidas sambas where they released a "skate" version that cost more but had significantly less material and lasted shorter compared to the originals?

Well those generic sneaker stores are selling overstock at a discount price. In my town they sell SB's at Marshall's and they are just as cheap as the other stuff there.

In the UK I don't know any store you could walk in and get a pair of Blazers for £44, maybe 10 years ago. They range from about £70 for a low and £89 for a mid and they barely release any colourways of the lows and tend to be in more specialist sneaker or streetwear stores.
You can walk into sports stores and get cheap tennis shoes or whatever that might look similar, just like you can buy weird budget variations of the SB line.
-
really? jesus, i know certain outlets like schuh here always have blazers etc for around that mark but if my comment about prices was inaccurate ill take it back.
-
the random all courts i got off ebay for super cheap came in. definitely a little bulkier or i guess more padded than the CK variant, CK one also seems to have a double ridge on the toecap. sole pattern is the same but the cks seem a little grippier, regular ones have that almost woodgrain pattern on the outsole like blazers. tried a few kickflips real quick and the toecap didnt seem to hinder them as they usually do for flips so thats a plus. all in all if you get em cheap like i did i reckon theyd skate just fine.
-
Wow brings back memories I skated those when I skated pier 7 back in the mid 90s and they were also my favorite I remember the whole shoe was canvas but the front Ollie kickflip part was leather on mine I think I had tan nikes and a white pair of Polos or tommy hills
Expand Quote
most lifestyle shoes have felt and that's about the only thing you have to worry about..
I skated some Polo Nike GTS knock offs that I got at Ross when I was in SF. Had the felt on the sole, but dragged my foot on a few hill bombs and that took care of most of it. Didn't really bother me. One of my favourite pairs of shoes I ever skated.

I skated a pair of those Reebok NPC in all white also! Had a crest on the side, got them hella cheap at a discount supermarket. They were kinda tippy cause the sole is narrow, but would skate again for sure.

Has anyone skated a pair of regular reebok workout plus? They're pretty much the same as regular workout lows, but with a toe cap like the dgk ones back in the day. They look like they would skate pretty good. I kind of want to try a pair of the white/gum sole colorway.

They have very hard soles.

Sole on the Workout Plus seems a little softer than the OG Workout, but yes both are kinda thick and stiff. My friend just skated a pair though and he got used to them and liked them, and he usually skates vulc. Just depends on how bad you want to skate them. I want to try a pair of the OGs soon.
-
Hmm. I might try a pair anyway. I've always loved the way those shoes look. I would consider a pair of fila fitness as well.

Bounce mid sole sounds amazing. Coworker gave me his old harden 1s, which are definitely skateable. I oscillate wildly between wanting something super tech for the pain, Or just skating in vans because everything else looks wrong

They've definitely retro'd them a bunch of times. I bought a white pair with black toe sometime around 2008 or so. Planned on skating them but never did and ended up just selling them to a homie. They definitely felt skateable though. Sole was fairly soft.

I realize I'm posting another mesh soccer shoe that would get shredded in 2 minutes, but the concept of a slip-on cupsole with boost throughout the midsole sounds really good.

Yeah, boost looks like shitty refrigerator insulation, but I recommend trying on some shoes with it. Anyone who has spent a day in some shoes with boost knows what's good.

I’ve recently skated some James Harden 1s (older model adidas basketball shoe, boost) and can confirm they work, and are dumb comfy. Those adidas soccer shoes look sick. They had an adidas soccer shoe with Beckham and Zidane colorways, I was surprised adidas didn’t give them to someone to skate. I’m actually always surprised by this: adidas and Nike could/should give a few pairs of shoes from their ultra premium, non skate lines, to their skate team to skate. For so many reasons.

Adidas Cloudfoam Super Daily. Tried a different pair of Cloudfoam on at Ross and liked them so I went on Poshmark and got a pair of these basically brand new for $15. The CF insoles are magic - it's like a memory foam pillow for your feet. I like it better than any of the Ortholite/Ultracush insoles I've tried both for skating and for work and walking. They're a little bit stiffer than I'm used to and the pair I have is pretty tight but I'm still breaking them in. They skate kinda like the old d3 era moonboots but without being so huge and clunky. Definitely not going to win any board feel contests but for skating long distances on rough streets and taking impact they're awesome. I've taken the insoles out and put them in some other shoes (Samba, Busenitz, Vans authentic) and its made every one of them feel better. Really wish Adidas would put CF in all their skate shoes.
If you look on Poshmark/Mercari/Ebay etc you can find them really cheap and just swap the insoles if you don't like the way the shoe skates.

Guarantee these will look like shit after the first Ollie and will be done within a week... I skated a pair of nike tiempo before... same shit different brand. The adidas are even worse because of the mesh side paneling.
-
Air force 1s are good but are an acquired taste for sure... and the board feel isn't bad but if you're jumping from vulcs to these chances are you won't like them.
If you don't land shit properly you will probably break your ankles due to the un-flexible 2" soles and stiff pleather upper... I skated a "premium" pair before with softer leather and they were good to me.
Reese and Gino...
and the ones they're skating are from when Nike used to make AF1s with good leather... not that shit that's currently out...

I really like the look of these:
(https://i.imgur.com/Z6nYLw1.jpg?1)
I just saw loads of those in multiple colors on sale today. They had blue suede/gum sole, so I had to try them since they look so good on the shelf. Unfortunately they felt cheap and floppy, and looked gross when you look down at them on your feet.
That's one thing I don't understand - people always talk about the supposed 'superior quality' of the major sport brand shoes, but those shoes felt noticeably cheaper and less comfortable than almost any skate shoe I've tried. You could tell the suede would rip instantly if you skated them. When I put my skate shoes back on after trying the Adidas it was like stepping into luxury vs bottom of the line as far as comfort was concerned.
Maybe I just have a weird foot (I do), but I've always thought the skate shoe brands improve on sport shoe designs, both in style and quality for skating.

I actually ordered both of these off an adidas sale recently (for around $35 a piece) to skate. Went with my size I usually get in Adidas. Couldn't even get my foot in the shoes. Granted, my foot skews wide but these were very very slim. Also, felt like an ankle roll waiting to happen.
Hope others have better luck if rolling the dice.

Guarantee these will look like shit after the first Ollie and will be done within a week... I skated a pair of nike tiempo before... same shit different brand. The adidas are even worse because of the mesh side paneling.
I actually ordered both of these off an adidas sale recently (for around $35 a piece) to skate. Went with my size I usually get in Adidas. Couldn't even get my foot in the shoes. Granted, my foot skews wide but these were very very slim. Also, felt like an ankle roll waiting to happen.
Hope others have better luck if rolling the dice.
Those shoes run really small. Half size up for a snug fit and maybe full size if you have a wide foot... I guess football shoes are meant to be super tight, at least I remember my friends using extra socks so they get as tight as possible.

The sole on my Pumas I was skating tore open, so I started skating some Reebok Club C Revenge. So far they feel really good. Super cushy but good boardfeel still. A pretty ideal cupsole actually.

I super glued my Reebok Revenge right out of the box and the toe is holding up great. After a month I’m barely getting through the glue to the suede on a couple tiny heavy wear spots. A new layer and they will still keep going until the sole gets bald.

i think adidas should make a skateable version of the nite jogger. i think this silhouette and the paneling could look super good on a skateable sole.

The Forum Low for anyone wondering. I feel like I have seen someone get a clip in these but I'm not sure.
"The Adidas Forum was a beacon of innovation when it comes to restructuring a basketball model into three different collar heights. The high-cut, mid-cut, and low-cut was first observed with the Forum when it was first released in 1984. Even the famous Michael Jordan wore these during the Olympic trials in the same year.

Cons made some Pro Leathers when the line was first introduced. They were pretty good shoes, if you can find the skate specific versions I highly recommend it.

Yep, at first they made one that the shape was a bit different and the sole was completely different. But they came in black/white so I got them anyway. They were too thick and I couldn't get down with them. Then they made the ones you posted above and I got them in a black suede with grey suede logo. Skated them a bit and then just chilled in them. I still have them at my house but they're so beat they're not even really worth wearing anymore. Then they came out with this version with the gusset tongue that's the same shoe, but something was just a little off. Don't like that "CONS" on the side either. Would have still got them though but they didn't make it to Canada.

Basically I'm just super picky about colour. Really only want black/white lows or white/black lows. I'm bummed those white/black say "PRO LEATHER" on the side, but I'd still rock them.

Those cons look like a perfect shape. Is the toe a bit boxier than on the CTAS? CTAS looks good but I find them a bit too pointy to skate properly.

Does anyone know how the regular Adidas Campus' skate versus the ADVs? I can't get down with the heel clip and long tongue on the ADVs.

Og campus skate just fine, the sole is not as grippy but they do the trick. Nothing to write home about but a solid choice none the less

I skated several pair of Reebok DGK workouts. They were great. I just question the durability and grip of these that don't specifically say skateboarding
I had some leather ones and tbh I didnt rly like them, they were really slippery so getting flick is difficult and they also get really narrow and square at the front. The leather also wasnt very durable but suede ones might be better

pf flyers are good, although the older model soles feel much better.
old model
(https://i.imgur.com/s0RSQ0W.jpg)
old models have a very thick vulcanized outsole that lasts a very long time, deeeeep tread, good grip, thick canvas, and they feel broken in feel right out of the box. they are comparable to some vulcanized adidas skate shoes in quality.
new model
(https://i.imgur.com/UgHhuQ5.jpg)
new models squeak a lot but they don't actually grip the board well and don't last as long since the tread is so thin...the board feel isnt great either. its like skating a normal jack purcell or some shit. other than that, it's basically the same thing.
oh and knock off pf flyers are good too, as long as they have the old sole. you can tell theyre knockoffs by how thin the canvas is and how the patch on the ankle is sewed on fabric and how the soles are fully gum colered/don't have the black pf flyers lettering.
-
Been skating a pair of non skate one stars. Switched the insole out for an old lunarlon and have been really liking them. Love the flick on them. At first the board felt a bit iffy but its all good that they're broken in now. Only thing I hate is the leather inside collar that have blistered my heel.

I had the opposite of that happen on a trip to Vegas a couple years ago. I had a fresh white pair of Hupper 2 Lows on, and people in very expensive stores/restaurants kept asking me if they were Hogans. I had to google it to figure out what they were talking about.

There used to be this Reebok shoe called The Samson that I would always try and get on Ebay but could never find. This was in the mid 00's when vulc wasn't as big as it is now.

I was always trying to find a pair of these Adidas Spok in my size too:

Does anyone know how the regular Adidas Campus' skate versus the ADVs? I can't get down with the heel clip and long tongue on the ADVs.
I’m sorry moe but I’m gonna have to disagree
So far the reg adidas campus are probably my most favorite skate shoes ever
Maybe cause I prefer medium thin cup soles but man they are my jazz
Them and dunks top 2 I would skate forever

Gonz, Julien etc all did in the early to mid nineties. They actually had one of the best teams of all time.

arbor foundation. i realize that arbor is a lifestyle brand that is on the fence of skating/surf/snow, and these may be marketed as shoes for skating, but the silhouette of these are pretty nice. nice colorways too. there's a laced version and a slip on version.

They definitely stretched some lines on a half-cab for this one, but I did em.
The quality looks better than most skate brands now days.

These look like they’d work for sure. Any ‘court’ shoes that have an upper that can withstand skating. Volleyball, tennis.....the nike cage tennis shoe looks a lot like the e-cue.
Other activities ask for more substance in their equipment (I understand and agree with much of skatings Luddite ways, if I was young I still might enjoy wispy sneakers) so I keep looking to basketball etc for tech that hopefully moves to skating.
Good find

Anyone try those Adidas Superstar ADV Vulc? They are the high top version of the Superstar, I'm a sucker for the shell toes and anything that will survive my kickflips
-
Anyone try those Adidas Superstar ADV Vulc? They are the high top version of the Superstar, I'm a sucker for the shell toes and anything that will survive my kickflips
you mean the pro model?
https://www.flatspot.com/products/adidas-pro-model-shoes-white-core-black-gold-metallic
i got the lowtop versions and this was my first impression:
just got adidas superstar advs yesterday and after wearing them for work the whole day, i wanted to share my first impressions.
-the materials seem supergood and quite premium
-the glue job is pretty bad on the shell toe. like when you pull out the laces, there are very noticeable glue stains. just looks pretty cheap compared to the materials.
-no extra laces included
-the tongue is padded on some pics online, but this tongue is NOT PADDED. this might be important for some. the stitching makes it seem like there would be something underneath but it's just for decoration.
-this makes the shoe honestly look like shit on your feet. they look totally fine on the shelf but the non padded tongue along with the supertight centering straps makes it push down on your instep like crazy, the panels for lacing up are super big, so even though i couldn't wear any size smaller, since my feet are filling out most of the shoe, it is super flat on your feet and i basically have to rambo lace them so they keep any shape. this in turn makes weird creases in the front.
-i wore them like slip ons for an hour without the laces to wear out the straps. since the tongue has no real structure it made ugly creases.
so these won't look at all like superstars, i will take out the tongue off some old shoes and glue them under this one for extra padding, i hope this will help the tongues structure and give the shoe a nicer shape when worn. also the creasing of the tongue also happens when laced up, which i found very uncomfortable.
on the plus side i found the outsole insole combo rather pleasant and pillowy for an adidas skateboarding shoe. on the other hand, the fold the shoe makes around the shelltoe seem is a bit harsh on the toes, as was to be expected on first wearing.
overall i'm pretty disappointed because these shoes look awesome in the web and by themselves but the looks totally fall apart imo when worn due to very bad design decisions about how tongue and lacing interact. or it's made for some kind of very weird footshape. i dunno. just know this and try them on if possible before buying to check the clown shoe factor.
also both models are cupsole, superstar adv vulc were the old ones. the sole is pretty soft and flexible and pretty alright if you ask me.

Solid review, I'm looking at the high top one since someone is selling a pair online for around $50. I was hoping they shell toe would help with durability. Did you try them with the insole that came with the shoes? They look pretty terrible and wouldn't grip your foot at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKKz_HLxJVw
How would you rate them on durability and did the comfort improve after wearing them in? I have really flat feet I use a moderately thick insole on my skate shoes to elevate the arches.
I may use them as a walkabout shoe to wear them in before thrashing them.
-
can't tell you about the one in the video, that one seems to be the older vulc one from 2 years back, the vid is also from 2017. i am pretty sure even though the new one i posted on flatspot looks almost identical, that its cupsole this time.
i haven't skated them yet, so i can't speak for flick and durability. i will try and film for the slap kickflip/heelflip thing in these tomorrow if i find a dry spot.
i fixed my issues with them somewhat by cutting out the tongues of my old vans tnt sg, which coincidentally fit pretty perfect under the superstar tongue. it adds structure and padding and makes it easier to fill out the shoe, makes it basically how i expected them to fit and look. no weird warping around the lacehole panel and some sense of security on top of my foot. after three days of wear, they wore in quite good and as i said, the footbed combo is quite comfy for adidas standards. throwing in a more substantial insole might even improve. i run mine with fp orthotics, which is a slight upgrade from the stock insoles, which are alright. if you are down for this mod, i would kind of recommend them, if you want them.
i'd like to try regular superstars with the padded tongue against these actually to see which are more comfortable and skate better, but i can only afford to buy one pair at a time.

Club C's skate great. Skated a pair for the entire end of the last skate season and I'm gonna finish them off in the spring. Super cushy but good board feel. Throw a little crazy glue along the toe stitching and you're good.

Hey I guess the dhgate route could work for some. I haven’t had the best luck, actually had fraud activity from there. Purchased something a couple years back and just recently noticed a random charge.

interested in dhgate dunks as well. they have all suede black ones from one of the sellers, good amount of positive seller reviews too (but you know, lots of times those reviews are as fake as the kicks).

they blur out the swoosh online by the way -- the actual shoes have them and are pretty indistinguishable (from what i've seen from customer reviews with their own photos from other listings)

Yep and there no difference from reg SB dunks and good reps from dh gate. If you go through sneakers quick but dont like the wide and kinda goofy look of skateshoes, it the way to go.
Regarding the guy rolling your ankle...what makes you think these arnt arent good to skate in? They have more protection than most lowtop skateshoes. Only diff is the sole hase a little more cushion in the air maxes which takes about an hour to get used to. Like skate insoles. Only skate shoes I have are new old stock Osirius remium 96 hi tops and a set of vans. more flexible sole, but you get better impact protection with ther air max's and helps esp if skating rough surfaces.
For SB dunks, its exactly the same as legit sb dunks. Plus if you like them, you can get 4 and its like $30 a piece in any color way. Its silly to do it any other way unless you guys like the looks of skate shoes. Theyre just too wide and fat looking down mostly.

Hey I guess the dhgate route could work for some. I haven’t had the best luck, actually had fraud activity from there. Purchased something a couple years back and just recently noticed a random charge.
Also gotta go by the sellers rep and amount of sales. If you read the reviews, the customers share pics and reviews so you can find a good source easily. Lots of legit sellers like the one I shared. Honestly the only diff is a little glue here and there and maybe less exact stitching. though nothing worse that a few kickflips will do to them.
So you know, they dont show the nike sign on many dhgate sellers. Its there and you can see it in the reviews.
This is a set of Off-white Nike collabs that go for $700+ here. $45 shipped from DH Gate and indistingushable aside from the shade of black rubber on the sole. Not for skating tho

There's the OG White pair, a black pair, and a tan colour pair.
Those are the only ones that have released, so far.

That makes them more exclusive. Yes theyre fake thats what reps are.
lol
Point is I have them in the og black/white version and I just wear reps cus collecting sneakers got far too expensive and these I dont have to care about and I just like them for the looks, I dont care if theyre legit. I coordinate.
This is where I got them from and they got them in diff colorways. If you care that youre rocking reps and trying to hide it, then we have diff fashion morals. Im 100% anarchy

Don't buy from DHgate or you'll get those fooky looking flea market Nikes that are "100%" identical to fakes. Taobao is where it's at for rep sneakers, but buying anything from China right now is probably a bad idea. If you need a pair of replica sneakers your best bet is checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/FashionRepsBST/. I don't really dig the fashion replica industry because it just promotes wearing the same thing as pretentious rich kids but if you're going to wreck the shit out of them skating them it's a pretty good way to wear some shoes you'd probably never be able to afford. (sorry its late and I'm talking too much.)

I'm yet to try Club C's but i've skated the Revenge/Revenge Plus etc. and liked them although the leather was not as durable as I hoped. Skated them without gluing the stitching though.
-
People who have skated regular Sambas: do you swap the insoles? Haven't had a pair in a while and thinking of skating some.

Yup. Whenever I'm in a bind and don't feel like prowling hard for cheap skate shoes I just go to the Adidas outlet when they have a sale (which is frequently) and get Sambas for like $40. Swap the insole and put some super glue on the stitching and they're great.

Jordan 4s skate rly good, downside is they’re too expensive, I got these like a year ago and couldn’t bring myself to skate them but the scoop is just too good

No good skate shoes in my size on the Adidas sale but I got these for chillers. If they’re not too clunky and break in nicely I’ll definitely skate them at some point. Strap is probably coming off regardless as well.
Wore these around for a few months and just got a real session in on them. They skated great. I’ve got a Zoom SB insole in there and I gotta crank the laces down, but I gotta lace up nearly every shoe really tight.

People who have skated regular Sambas: do you swap the insoles? Haven't had a pair in a while and thinking of skating some.
I stuck some Vans Ultracush insoles in mine and they felt so much better than the original insoles. The Samba skates amazingly well

I've skated in Sambas since the 90's. I don't change shit, I just let'um ride. They're great once broken in.

Or did Lakai make a Reebok with the Staple?
I wonder how the sole on these is compared to a Workout? Not crazy about the shape on these, but really want to skate a white/gum with the white foam midsole but Workouts are too thick for me.

The leather on Reeboks tends to be really soft and blows through quick, if you're a mob guy doubly so.
-

I'm skating the Club C Revenge. Haven't tried the regular Club C's but I like my cupsoles thin and soft. Basically just slightly more supportive than a vulc. The Revenge C is good, the Puma Suede is perfect. Adidas Campus is great. But yeah the Workout are a little hard and thick for my liking.

That's true but that's what makes them feel so good on your feet! Personally it wasn't a huge issue for me because I don't go through shoes super fast.

I've got a pair of these. Skated in them once and loved the feel but the leather doesn't feel like it will last at all so I just kept em as a casual shoe.
-
Club C's are the best shoe I've ever skated
Grip really well period.
Flex good but maintain shape
Soles last a long time....
Yes the leather is soft but it lasted longer than my Ben G Dunks leather.
And if you look hard enough you can find em for 30 bucks

Anyone tried skating regular Adidas campus In the last couple years?
No, but I have some on the go as chillers right now, and plan to skate some once the snow clears up. But I can safely say after 26 years of skating, they're good. I've been on the board and rolled with my newer ones and they seem as grippy as any skate shoes. Overall the upper and tongue are very deconstructed, there's not much to it, but I like that in a shoe.

I've had these as my nice white pair of shoes for at least 4 or 5 years now (under 10 wears a year). I've stood on my board and they feel like they'd be great to skate in. I prefer vulcs and dont like how the middle of the sole cuts out (for skating) but theyre comfy and the leather is high quality! They took a while to break in though

I tried them on next to some Club C's. They feel more budget for sure, but no worse quality than a skate brand leather shoe. The Club C's feel SUPER nice though.
The sole is thicker on the Heredis, but still feels skateable. the tread pattern is more skate friendly than the workouts as well, a nice herringbone type deal. My heel didn't feel overly high and vulnerable, not that different from a Busenitz pro iirc.
I might have a go tbh. The only thing is there's a fair amount of vertical space in the midfoot, but there's always a bit too much room in shoes there for my liking.

Weird, I tried those on and they were super cheap feeling, and don't look good once laced up. Maybe they're better in smaller sizes (like most shoes).
I'm currently skating some Royal Techque T's, which are very similar to Club C's but with a better sole for skating. They feel far less quality than all the Sole Tech shoes I'm used to skating, but fun to try out (they were $39 at Winners). Needed loads of glue 5 minutes into the first session - same as Club C's - but that was to be expected since they're not made for skateboarding.

Damn those are actually kinda fresh. Wonder how they'd skate? The sole looks a little thick.
More importantly, searching for them led me to these vintage Nike Court Force shoes:

Just got a hole in my Reebok Revenge Club, next session switching to Campus OG. The sole is off white which I am not stoked on, but you can't tell too much when you're wearing them. And they feel amazing just wearing. Super high quality material. Gonna be fun to wreck. Brown Dickies and I'll be imagining I'm Brian Lotti while skating nothing even remotely close to as stylish as him.

These seem like they would skate really well! There’s a low top version as well, but has way more mesh on it. :/ Converse Rivalry
I have these in this color and they feel comfortable. Hoping they hold up to skating. I’ll try to skate them soon and provide updates if anyone is interested.
Also, normal fastbreaks (non CONS) in all suede (if you can find them) seem to be another good option.

Not really feeling that Rival shoe but like that it has the thicker chevron on it. Awhile back Converse changed all of the chevrons on the logo to be skinnier at the point than they are at the ends. Definitely don't think it looks as good.

Didn't know that but I definitely see similarities between those two models! have a pair of fastbreaks so I'll take a look at the two later and compare for fun.
When I do skate these, I will post some before and after pics alongside my thoughts.

Be careful of these ones though, the rubber on the sole of these specific ones is harder than I expected. I actually ordered them as chillers, but tried to order them through my shop for cost and was gonna get a second pair to skate. Ended up paying full price for them and I'm glad I didn't get two because the rubber feels harder than I would like for skating. All the other Pro Leathers I've had before have been really soft and flexible.

Just poked around the Converse site out of curiosity and noticed these Pro Leathers look... off. No lunarlon and the toe box shape looks different to me. Maybe they changed the rubber compound and materials in the upper?
My personal favorite Pro Leather was the '76 version with Lunarlon insoles or the CONS Skate Pro Leathers. Wish they didn't discontinue those.

I ve been skating two non skate shoes lately. The reebok classic, which I hate, I cannot feel anything and have so much trouble doing flip tricks with them. The other is one the best shoes I ve ever skated, the adidas Gazelle. Love them, I am probably going to skate used one from now on

The B&W gazelle is probably my favourite "beater". Swap the black lace for some wider white ones and it just looks great with anything. Love my pair but I actually never skated them. Maybe I'll get a pair to shred on the board one day.

Good point.
Pro leathers are dope and I should get some. Skate very well.
Be careful of these ones though, the rubber on the sole of these specific ones is harder than I expected. I actually ordered them as chillers, but tried to order them through my shop for cost and was gonna get a second pair to skate. Ended up paying full price for them and I'm glad I didn't get two because the rubber feels harder than I would like for skating. All the other Pro Leathers I've had before have been really soft and flexible.
No Converse have Lunarlon anymore, but this shoe is super old so never would have had Lunarlon in in back in the day anyway. There were lots of versions of the Pro Leather in the skate line that weren't true to the original. The shape on this one is pretty true to the ones I wore in the 90s. I think they're supposed to be premium so maybe that's why the leather and rubber is different? They're pretty stiff. Would be the best shoes ever if they were nice and soft like Reeboks.

these are awesome, if only because of the lunarlon midsole...always better to have the shoe itself do the work instead of an insole.

I ve been skating two non skate shoes lately. The reebok classic, which I hate, I cannot feel anything and have so much trouble doing flip tricks with them. The other is one the best shoes I ve ever skated, the adidas Gazelle. Love them, I am probably going to skate used one from now on
Which Reebok Classic? the classic leather?

The B&W gazelle is probably my favourite "beater". Swap the black lace for some wider white ones and it just looks great with anything. Love my pair but I actually never skated them. Maybe I'll get a pair to shred on the board one day.
don't know the name so I took a picture

How do they feel to skate? And does that toe / flick area last? They are like 70 quid on the Nike site but they look amazing

I have no clue but I guess they should be decent. Its a full suede toe with no stitched panels, so I guess it lasts well. Probably no re-enforcement on the inside but should feel fairly similar to the Gato Sb and other similar indoor shoes.
Did you try to look on other websites? They probably are even cheaper somewhere else.

Yeah, I was pretty bummed to see the lunarlon disappear from all models. Personally, one of the better stock insoles for sneakers that I came across.
Im sure the em had different runs of the shoe since it came out.
The ones I am referring to were likely a version of the ‘76 shape/mold but with lunarlon insoles. Here’s a pic for reference: (https://shop.cre8lao.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/155318C_shot1.jpg)
I think they modeled the skate version off of these?

The outsole is super shallow on Gazelles, that's the main reason I dont skate them, because I feel like I will start sliding on top of the board in 2 sessions. The gazelle super x alltimers had the 3mc outsole which is much better.
(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1104/6942/products/Adidas_Alltimers_campus_adv_1_large.jpg?v=1571609492)
I thought about skating my pair but those things run so tight, and I usually like tight shoes, need to find a way to stretch them out.
I also have the blue pair which was pretty limited but they fell even tighter, its crazy, I cant even wear them.
Both on my normal size.

I got the same size in the SB Gatos and another pair of nike running shoes I have, so I guess I'd just buy the same size as any other nikes you may have. From my experience, nikes generally run about a half size small compared to some other brands though.
-
maybe it's just this particular model
https://www.amazon.com/Nike-Premier-AO9376010-Color-Black/dp/B07DCD79H3/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Nike%2BPremier%2BII&qid=1588802679&sr=8-2&th=1
multiple reviews stating they run full size small, but i could imagine it's just half size in reality, like in your experience. i've never had that problem with nike sb's though, of any model, i'm a 10 for the vast majority of brands and nike sz 10 are always the right fit for me.
wishing i could just try on a pair! haha
-

Personally I size up at least a half size in most nike soccer stuff. Cleats or indoor shoes can run crazy narrow and tight sometimes imo. I've tried on some of the older non-SB gatos and SB gatos before and a half size or even full size up felt more reasonable.

I've been eying these same shoes, but havent found them in a reasonable price yet. They make them in this white suede with the red swoosh and it looks so sick.
The OG futsal version seems to have the same outsole than these Nike SB shoes that went out in 2017 i think. The Nike Sb lunar FC:
(https://www.skatedeluxe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/nike-sb-lunar-ftc-skate-shoe-side-view.jpg)
The OG version with the full suede toe even looks way skatable than the Nike SB version. I had those SB's and I don't understand why would they use that crappy, hard, slippery, plasticy material on a skateshoe and just a small patches on suede on the toe. Shit sucked. The outsole was really grippy though.

Damm, thanks for the site suggestion. I’m so torn between trying those Premier 2s in blue or the Gato lunars they have for £60.
Any suggestions?
And as far as sizing goes, I’m a U.K. 9, the three pairs of Janoskis I had were all 9s and they were perfect for me. From what I’m reading on here and that site, it seems a 10 would be better for me. Idk tho, I’m thinking a half size up because my feet don’t smoosh against the toes of the likes of any size 9s I have.

I skated these way back in the day after finding them at a Nike outlet for super cheap.
(https://cdn.flightclub.com/750/TEMPLATE/060008/1.jpg)
I can't remember anything significant about them either or, except I had to 1/2 size up and unstrapped the forefoot strap to make them comfortable.
I saw these at TJ Maxx a year or two ago in my size but didn't pull the trigger since they were still $50.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81D1SJk4yrL._AC_UY500_.jpg)
Too ugly for $50 but would've been worth it to skate for $30.
-
Thanks man. I think I’ll pull the trigger on a pair that I found for cheap. As long as the forefoot outsole is just a little thinner than air trainer 3’s (Which skated ok), I’m sure I will enjoy them.

Just ordered these Reebok Workout Clubs:

They haven't done them in awhile but they're available again. Our shop has a Reebok account so I was able to get them for cost, which is awesome. I love the OG Workouts, but the sole feels too thick to skate and when I put them on somehow they just look weird on me. So these will be a good compromise. Not sure if I'm gonna skate in them or chill in them but they'd be good for skating for sure. One piece toe would stop the toe piece from tearing off like it does on the Clubs.
Wish they still made this white/gum colourway so I could throw black laces in and pretend I'm rocking KCKs.

Hey, you might know better than me - have they discontinued the Workout Low (not the Workout Low Plus)? Or made it unavailable in Canada? I think you're Canadian if I recall correctly, but that may be wrong. All I can find anywhere is the Workout Low Plus, and I don't like it. Regular Workout Low is on clearance on the Reebok Canada site, but there's only a few sizes left (not mine). I'd love to try Workout Mids too, but those feel like a true white whale.

I just started skating some Superstars for the first time. I was about to order the skate ones but I tried them once at the skateshop and that thin tongue blows. I have to lace them down too tight and looks like shit, can’t do it. So I was looking in the website for options and found out this “laceless” version of the superstar, which is supposed to be worn like the Run DMC did back in the bays, with no laces. They put elastic straps inside to keep the shoe from flying away. They are also all thick ass good quality leather, including the stripes, lining and insole top (the regular one uses a lot of synthetic and mesh). They have a thick padded tongue and I’m pretty sure the collar is also more padded. Overall, a more well built superstar that feels 10x better for more 10 bucks.
Still getting used to the flick of the shelltoe but I think I like it actually.
(https://straatosphere.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/laceless-Adidas-Superstar-feature-1280x705.jpg)
I can’t do the laceless look so I just put some lace and it looks like this:

yeah i don't know what the thought was with these superstars. my black pair is collecting dust in the box for the same reason and no one wants to take it off of me because everyone thinks it sucks and fits like shit. literally no one trying the shoe likes it. have to put them up on ebay and hope some idiot buys them.
those laceless ones look much better in terms of silhouette and shape.

When i started skating i used to wear the nike total 90 version for futsal. The flick was pretty good. The after that bought a pair of vans.

Not that I know of. I just got a pair last fall, which doesn't really mean anything, but I can't imagine them phasing out one of their classic shoes that they've been making for decades to only have a newer one. But I really can't comment one way or the other with solid info.

Has anyone ever skated the Adidas Mundial Goal shoe? They look so good but I can't drop 86 bucks not knowing they would skate well.

One of my favorite shoes I've ever skated. I've hung onto them for years even though they're beat. Kangaroo leather isn't particularly durable but really soft and flexible. Might need to add superglue as you skate them but I think it's worth it

It did seem weird that I can't find them anywhere, but I guess they're just one of those weird specific products that's just hard to get in Canada for no real reason. Thanks!

Strange - out here in Vancouver all sorts of random shoe stores carry them in both black and white. Places like Champs will get in other colorways from time to time as well. Even The Bay had some cool colors in the past. I got white/gum ones for $39.99 at Champs years ago. They seem to be a bit more popular now though, so maybe they're selling out at a lot of stores?

I tried skating my work out los and they were the least grippy shoe I have ever tried skating

With the old style leather court shoes, I’ve noticed they really REALLY need to make you suffer for a bit before they get broken in and start gripping. But also not very trippy, you right.
I want to try some club c’s

I see the Workout Plus everywhere - it has an extra panel on the toe, has a slightly different sole, and is a little more expensive. That one seems easy to get at The Bay, Foot Locker, Sport Chek, etc. Workout Classic is a slightly different shoe - clean toe, different sole, different cut around the ankle - but so similar that I know I sound like a crazy person for having a preference between the two.

I feel you. I’ve been on the hunt for some white/gum Workout clean’s for a sec but no success. All they been doing now is the rippled outsole ones which fucking suck.
I just want this: (https://assets.reebok.com/images/w_600,f_auto,q_auto/8e79663ca9ca4604b2b4aa090160b72a_9366/Workout_Clean_MU_Shoes_Multi_DV5186_01_standard.jpg)

Just found a bunch of Reebok club C on sale, including the Bronze ones but I don't need more shoes.

^^ Link for the sale Club C's?
Just ordered these Reebok Workout Clubs:
(https://assets.reebok.com/images/h_840,f_auto,q_auto:sensitive,fl_lossy/c63d373ee21e4d109939abac01459455_9366/Club_Workout_Shoes_White_FV9914_01_standard.jpg)
They haven't done them in awhile but they're available again. Our shop has a Reebok account so I was able to get them for cost, which is awesome. I love the OG Workouts, but the sole feels too thick to skate and when I put them on somehow they just look weird on me. So these will be a good compromise. Not sure if I'm gonna skate in them or chill in them but they'd be good for skating for sure. One piece toe would stop the toe piece from tearing off like it does on the Clubs.
Wish they still made this white/gum colourway so I could throw black laces in and pretend I'm rocking KCKs.

Yeah mine haven't arrived yet, but I'm stoked. Wish the sole was still split with the exposed foam midsole like it is on the instep though. If you could get a Workout upper on the NPC sole, that would be a perfect combo.

I know the difference. Maybe it's where you live, but Workout Lows are not hard to find in black or white in Vancouver. Seems to be the most common Reebok Classic there is, maybe tied with the all white Club C's. I have been seeing the Plus pop up now too, but I prefer the Workout Low.

Just finished skating Clubs at the beginning of this summer. Super good cushioning but still good board feel. Definitely crazy glue the seam along the toe piece, but after that they should be great!

I like the exposed foam on the inside but could never get into it on the outside for some reason. When I did the NPC a few years ago I got the "UK" ones with the different sole.

I think the Club Workout is the perfect reebok upper/sole combo but I can only find one pair in my size and they're $120 on ebay so I gotta keep looking. You should post an update if you skate your pair.

These look like a less tech version of the Copa Nationale and I like em! Are these considered handball shoes? I thought I read that somewhere in the past.
Haven't skated em, tho

Looks like they have the same sole as that Gazelle Indoor shoe which means they should skate real good. Slightly narrow, good arch support, supportive but not super padded, decent grip...They look great

Damn, I came up yesterday, big time. I found a pair of Nike Jordan 1 High's in size 12. I got home from the Goodwill and looked them up on Google, there is one pair of this size on eBay and they are $500 new with box. They are all suede and all Gym Red in excellent condition. They were $10 and I think I can get at least $250 for them. Stoked

Another major come-up at the same Goodwill. Yesterday I found a pair of 2003 Nike Cortez Premium from the Laser Pack. Engraved by artist Mark Smith. For being 17 years old they are in excellent condition, no rips stains or damage and the sole is not worn down at all. They are size 13, the only pair on eBay from this pack and they are $300 or best offer. Authentic vintage premium Quickstrikes, I can hardly believe they were only $10

those look like lows? I got a pair of lows on goat for 35 shipped (not reps....) or something that i cleaned up replaced insoles and skate in. How’s the leather on those last?

No theyre not reg full lows. Lil diff from typical. Heres a weird pic of them in my hand.
(https://i.ibb.co/BZFy9HP/IMG-6320.jpg)
Compared to authentic j's, the leather is very similar and the sole is also. These have slightly messier stitching though its very minor and hitting it with a lighter flick will clean it up. I use gamechnger insoles. I just got 3 reps from him with these, SB white widow mids and orange label black/white gum dunks. Havent skated in yet but wore them theyre very well made and look great. If you want to see them Ill post but I dont wanna get into the rep thing again. In case youre curious. This is who I used for them and other nice colorways.

How are the insoles on the SB Dunk reps? I'm wondering if they use the same sole units as well, since it looks like they have the midsole knockout on the bottom.

They rule for skating, but they aren't build to last. I would immediately glue or shoe goo any stitching on the toes. The front of the shoe and the middle are really just connected by that stitching and not reinforced. It is constant maintenance to keep them from falling apart, but they really area some of the best shoes to skate.

I just skated my Club C Revenges for the first time and I was wondering what you guys that skate them do to make them last. These are skateboarding's best kept secret as far as I'm concerned. Instant favorite.
I liked them a lot but they get floppy really fast. The silhouette and feel is nice but they're just not durable enough. Even if you super glue the stitching on the upper the soles give in really quickly too.

They rule for skating, but they aren't build to last. I would immediately glue or shoe goo any stitching on the toes. The front of the shoe and the middle are really just connected by that stitching and not reinforced. It is constant maintenance to keep them from falling apart, but they really area some of the best shoes to skate.
I super glued my high wear areas. And would add more super glue once a week.

Ditto on all that^, although I had Royal Techque T's which are basically the same with a slightly different sole. Cool shoe but not built to handle skating so it takes a lot to keep them going, and as mentioned the sole doesn't last long.
I just saw a bunch of Reebok classics on sale at Winners while I was waiting for a pizza and ended up getting these very 90's joints. :D Don't plan to skate them but they would be great for a day or two if I did.

Im sure there’s been discussion on the onitsuka tiger, how do those skate? This seems like a p good deal and considers getting em.

I don’t think I could get a full sesh in, but maybe for cruising around and stuff.

Oh they're definitely getting black laces once I can find a good pair. Sucks it's hard to find a decent lace selection these days.

I'm glad I'm not alone with the black laces in white shoes thing..It is a necessity, in fact I have to swap them before I even skate them. When I bought my Rowans I did it in the parking lot before I even drove off from the shop.

It doesn't say the name or material make up, but I think they may be called they Royal Complete 3 Low, based off image searches. Not sure how to tell if it's synth leather.

My friend said that he has been using these from U.S. Rubber. Don’t think they’re skate shoes. Going to skate with him Sunday, I’ll ask him how they feel.

Just finished skating Campus OGs and getting started on some OG Sambas.
(https://i.imgur.com/4r3T5Vp.jpg)
The Campus were so juicy. They were pig suede nubuck, so were so soft they almost felt like velvet. Definitely didn't make them last long though. Blew a hole in them way quicker than I usually do in shoes but they were so good and I figured who knows when the next time I'd skate some were so threw a suede patch on the inside and kept skating them. (I took the patch out after the last session, before this photo.)
(https://i.imgur.com/abGwWi2.jpg)
Probably one of my favourite shoes I've ever skated. The sole was great. Not too thick, good grip and boardfeel. I peeled out the stock insoles and put in these really thin Lunarlons I saved from some Kenny Andersons and they felt great. Skated them way longer than I would skate most shoes because the more wrecked they got, the more I felt like Brian Lotti and liked the shoes more.
Don't think these Sambas will last much longer. That leather is super soft and feeling really thin after a few sessions where my pinky toe blows out. Probably will patch the inside to keep them going too.

Campus are soooooo good to skate in, one of my favorites actually. This post made me want to skate a pair of sambas ASAP. It’s been a while and I forget how fun they are
-
I skated sambas for a grip. Solid for me. The suede/ leather worked for me for a few months. But we're rockin strictly long tongues. I miss low shoes every so often, most likely because every shoe is low, welp, so it goes.

I’ve been running strictly Puma for about a year. The Smash has been the best so far. Pretty much the Suede with a more flexible sole and nice insole. Thinking about these next-

The Smash has been the best so far.
I just can't get down with that Smash model. Even though you can find them for so much cheaper. Just looks like a budget version of the Suede and it turns me off. Honestly the sole feels too soft for me too aha. But I'm stoked they're working good for you.
I was checking out those Court Legend Mids and they look pretty sick.

I used those dr Scholls jawns where you stand on the machine and get whatever number type they suggest, skating sambas was a marriage of convenience that worked out very well for me. Lasted quite a while and idk but I was down to get gnarly wear in em. I mean Im not good at skating but gnarly for me.
-
For the longest time I've been swapping out these thin Lunarlon insoles that came in Kenny Anderson 3s, but my arch is all fucked up so unfortunately I have to use Footprint insoles now. (Unfortunately because they are wack, they actually work really good though.) So far I like the OG Samba quite a bit.

Probably Adidas Superstars if you can find them cheap. I love the "laceless" version that came out this year and you can find them for quite cheap everywhere (at least in Europe, I got a extra pair for 35euros like 1 month ago). They come with laces, so don't worry.
It uses some nice quality leather, even on the stripes (opposite to the standard version which is cheap leather), Only thing you might need is to put some superglue in the eyestay, other than that they laaaast.

They do look a lot better, and with black laces **heart emoji** !!
I guess the cushioning is pretty standard. They do have a ortholite insole that feels really nice.
They also have tongue centering straps (for the laceless feel) and a puffier tongue so they basically feel like beefier slip ons, I dont think I unknotted them since I got them, feels like gloves.
Highly recommended. I already skated a Black pair, been rocking a white pair casually and have another one in the ice just in case.

Reebok Club C models (all the different sole variants usually) tend to regularly go on sale - Reebok site, some department stores, etc. Amazon and other online sellers sometimes have regular Superstars or Sambas on sale from what I’ve seen. There may be some deals still floating around on those shoes (and others) following the holidays, too.
Converse Rival, Adidas Grand Court, and Nike Ebernon are some other possible options.
Eastbay, Burlington Coat Factory (surprisingly), Marshall’s, Nordstrom Rack, Ross, and Big 5 are good options for web store or in person for non skate shoes that may be on sale.

You're right. Haha! They look awful in my opinion.... but they are an option if you're broke though. Anyways, I supplied other alts to make up for that suggestion :D

I agree with those saying look for Reebok Club C's/Revenge/Royal Techque T's on sale - they usually are somewhere. Up here in Canada they pop up in Winners all the time in nice colors for $39-$49. That and some dollar store crazy glue for the seams/laces and it's one of the best cheap shoes you can get. They look dope too.

Anyone use regular adidas samba for skating? I have but not in 25 years so I can't remember how they were

Yo they have been mentioned many many times in this thread and on this board
And the general consensus is that they are good
Too many of the general population wearing them where I live.
Same goes for Stan Smith's.
Court shoes for some reason are pretty popular around here. It's a bummer for many reasons

I ordered some Shelltoes for $40 on sale. I realized after that they are the Adv model (not the Vulcs) and I was looking to see if/how they are different than the OG’s us older folk use to skate.

Yet another Winners score - these Pumas that I think may be skate shoes. Unfortunately they're super narrow, but they look so damn nice with white laces that I'm gonna suffer through the fit. Haha. Not sure what the model is. Chillers only.

They’re pretty good, I bought some breds for full retail so only skated a few times in them. But they are supportive, comfortable, have a great scoop and heelflips feel good in them. If you like thicker skate shoes go for it. Only draw backs are that the flick takes some to get used to and they aren’t the gripiest but overall they’re a solid shoe to skate in

I've never skated the Royal Techque, but from checking them out at stores, the sole feels almost too soft for me. But I'm sure they are skateable.
Clubs have the perfect thickness of sole for me. Cushy and kinda thick but are definitely skateable without tons of breaking in.
Workout soles feel way too hard to skate for me, but people obviously do it. If you can skate Jordan 4s I'm sure you can probably skate Workouts.
The Club is basically a perfect sole to me though.

I wanna get some reeboks which ones do you guys recommend club Cs or workouts?
These look pretty good too:

Although I haven’t skated the workouts, I have a pair of leather/gum Club Cs in rotation right now and really like them. The insoles are nice but not squishy, the outsoles grip fine and wear slower than most of my other shoes. The only issue I have is that the ankle opening is a bit wide so to really lock in I use the second hole at the top to do the runner lacing. This exposes more lace at the top which is an area that I tend to get a lot of grip tape wear.

Ended up getting some Stan smiths, and I just remembered I had some workout pros and they kept toppling over and ripped too fast, so I think Stan smiths could’ve been the better choice but we’ll see

I have no issues with heel lock on club c's, maybe it has to do with foot shape
-
Anyone use regular adidas samba for skating? I have but not in 25 years so I can't remember how they were
I haven't skated them in long while but I remember them being comfortable to walk and bike in. For skating they were snug and grippy with good flex but the super thin soles and minimal padding made for extremely painful bails and my feets would ache from the impact. One of the most beautiful shoes ever though.

Yeah, I think it has to do with where it hits on my ankle and the feel of the laces over my foot. Could also be that the leather on this pair started off a bit stiff but the heel lock has definitely improved as they’ve worn in a bit.
Not bad shape considering they’ve seen about half of my skating since the end of October. Also shout out to the sale gear thread; $27 shipped from some Reebok site clearance. I want a suede pair and am now also eyeing Emerica’s new Gammas on the off chance that they feel as similar as they look.

Been skating these OG Sambas. Not my favourite shoe I've ever skated but they were really fun. Definitely fun to cross those off the list of a shoe I always wanted to skate from back in the day but never did. They're pretty slim for anyone out there looking for a slimmer cupsole. Personally I like my shoes a little thicker nowadays (but not OG Accel/Lynx "#bringbackthepuff" thicc. Fuck that shit.)
(https://i.imgur.com/fL1i6hU.jpg)
The Sambas were getting pretty juicy but I was kind of feeling in a rut lately so needed something to spice me up so skated these Workout Clubs I have last night. Definitely like them better than the Sambas as far as feel and shape. The Club sole is really really good. A perfect cupsole. So I think I might retire the Sambas and just stick to the Boks.

Both look sick.
I was thinking about getting sambas for a decent vegan shoe. I’d probably end up skating em, but I remember that they were painful to skate in.
The clubs just look perfect. Somehow I’ve never had them. Definitely skated the nylon classics way back when. For like 10 minutes.
-
They make vegan Sambas? Mine are definitely leather.
Man I have some white Reebok Nylon Classics and they look so good and are so comfortable. Probably my favourite shoe I own. I've actually rolled around on my cruiser board with them and they definitely feel skateable. I'd have to patch the inside because where the toe piece dips down is right at my pinky toe where I wreck shoes.
Been trying to find a decent prices pair to skate online but they're actually so hard to find right now. Which sucks because mine are getting dirty and I just got pen on the toe at work and I don't think I can live without a pair.

The Reebok nylon classics are like marshmallows for your feets. Forbes has some Pulaski photos in them.

I think that sole on the Nylon Classics is asking for ankle rolls. I own a pair. There is that classic photo of Reese skating a pair - might have been leathers though. I don't find that sole particularly comfortable but everyone's foot is different.
I actually just ordered a pair of those Club Workouts. They didn't have white in my size so I got the black/white. They were on sale for $70.

i’ve had a couple sessions in them and tbh they’re worth it. they skate like puma suedes (and haven’t ripped yet after like 6 hours). the only annoying part is the sole is white so you’ll get white scuff marks on ur grip a little bit but for 10$ who cares.

I noticed your shop stocks a half decent selection of Reeboks - do you have access to a wide variety of colors/models? Would be stoked to find a shop that gets more than just the most common colors. I've seen the most random, but super dope Reeboks when I search certain models online, but they appear to be limited colabs that maybe aren't available everywhere. Mustard suede Workout vulcs with a black sole and stuff like that. Shit that looks way better than the same old all white Club C's (which are nice too, but kinda look cheap somehow).
-
We have a Reebok account so we order prebooks and also can order at-once from instock on the B2B. (I'm lucky cause that's usually where I get mine from and I just have to pay cost.) Definitely tons of styles that we don't see on there though. Like those brown leather/gum Clubs up above. I've seen tons of colours at outlets and stuff that we don't see in catalogs or on the B2B. Don't really know how the whole program works and why some stuff is available and others aren't to be honest.
Perfect example, we have these in the shop: https://ninetimesskateshop.com/collections/reebok/products/reebok-npc-ii-white-white
But I don't like the blue embroidery, but the same ones with grey aren't on the B2B but they're on the Reebok site: https://www.reebok.ca/en/npc-2-shoes/FY9433.html
So basically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wrong thread homie. This is non skate shoes good for skating, not skate company shoes made for not skating.

I don't have any leads on unheard-of non-skate-skate shoes, but here's my collection and two cents. I've always liked the idea, I actually remember reading the youwillsoon review of those One Stars from Target and trying to find them haha.
Also re: SAYE, I can get down with silhouette clones/approximations (and veganism) but not for that price, or that fucking name/logo (reminds me too much of STATE, STRAYE, FACT, FORMER... eugh).
Reebok Club C
(https://i.ibb.co/VLLqvV1/IMG-1858.jpg) (https://ibb.co/HKKHr7S)
Big fan of this shoe. Wish the preemptive superglue was unnecessary. The leather toe is more resilient though. I'm guessing the Palace collab ones have reinforced stitching? Maybe not? Proper glue job does wonders, though.
Reebok Club Workout
(https://i.ibb.co/h9NXryT/IMG-1856.jpg) (https://ibb.co/6wSvGmq)
Also dig the Club Workouts, cooler sole than OG Workout IMO. Club C Revenge looks alright, too (haven't skated yet), but those "Club MEMT" are very gross looking.
Adidas Continental 80
(https://i.ibb.co/L9DfCyM/IMG-1855.jpg) (https://ibb.co/mhr7HKm)
These are so easy to find and cheap as fuck. The white ones I found on depop for $12 plus shipping. They hold up really well until the stitching connecting the toe and lace panels gets fucked. Then the shoe gets a bit roomier and I find myself lacing them really tight. But can't beat the availability $20-40 price range. Wish they had more varied colorways though. I've skated a pair of Sambas and they were fine but didn't last all that long and were on the thin side.
Puma Suede
(https://i.ibb.co/Jk73YXr/IMG-1859.jpg) (https://ibb.co/GP2HZgC)
In my mind one of the original non-skate-skate shoes. Wish this Half Cab/Sal 23 grey-black colorway was more widely and regularly available. These are very reliable and durable shoes, I've skated through several and often find the sole wearing out before the toe (at the ball of my foot). I skated a pair of Super Ligas and from what I remember I dug them, too.
Anyone still skate those white canvas Polo shoes? I thought those were the shit back in the day

@dilbert1 I commend your shoe choices. All bangers. Also jealous of you guys and your brown Clubs. Also jealous that you found the Club Workouts with the gum sole. I wanted those ones specifically to put in black laces and pretend I was skating KCKs. Also those Pumas with the black sole look great. Puma Suede might be my favourite shoe of all time. Skating or non-skating.
As far as the Club C/Club C Revenge thing, the only difference I can tell is the Revenge has the stripes in the Reebok logo sewn on while on the regular Club C it's just stitching. But it's the same sole and everything so would feel exactly the same.
-
Damn! Lots of dope one's in that mix. I find Puma Suedes to be pretty floppy but that color is so nice. Where are you finding those Reeboks?

Frequent searching on depop, mercari, poshmark, ebay. The white/gum club workout, brown/black club c and grey/black puma were really hard to even search for, much less find for sale. Ordered the first two from UK/European depop sellers. From asking about where they find these shoes, it seems like a lot of the dopest colorways for Pumas, Reeboks, and lots of other shoes I like can be easily found in their home country's Champs and Footlocker equivalent.

Daaaaaaaaamn those Jazz Courts look so sick! Very hyped on those.
I skated some Saucony Hang Times a bit back in the late 00's and they felt super good but were a half size too big for me so didn't skate them more than a few sessions.
Also skated some vulcanized SK8-Hi look alike Sauconys I got in Japan back then too. They weren't great but they were fun to skate.
Here's the Hangtimes I skated:

I actually have another pair of those high tops in my basement that I've barely worn because I bought two pair when I was in Japan.
Super stoked on those Jazz Courts though. I'll have to keep my eye out for a cheap pair. If anyone sees some, let me know.

-
Honestly tempted to try the Club C’s how’s the cushioning/midsole really?
For me the club c is a decent shoe. The soles are kind of clunky and the board feel could be better, but since it’s not a skate shoe it’s forgiven. A lot of cushion in sole. The upper stitch goes pretty quick but some shoe goo and your good
-
Honestly tempted to try the Club C’s how’s the cushioning/midsole really?
Some of them have a cushy foam midsole, but most of them seem to have no foam, and I don't know if there is even a model name that they use to make a distinction between the two versions. You can see the difference in the photos below. On the top ones (Bronze collab), you can see the black foam in the midsole; but in the bottom ones, you can see it's the same harder gum rubber as the outsole. When it's a white or black sole, it's pretty much impossible to tell from a photo which version you're getting.

Cheers for info... just miss and looking for that classic 90’s Accel cup sole feel of no pain (neither of the reissues fit right, slims are a joke) in a UK 4 (ha) Looking for something longer-term for when I’m finally done with the stack of Suciu ADV II (lifesavers).

I've never seen Clubs with rubber in the midsole. We have 5 colour ways on our shoe wall right now and they all have foam.
Personally I find the sole on the Clubs to be one of the comfiest soles I've ever had. Don't seem clunky to me and board feel is good. For reference, they are definitely thicker and cushier than an Accel Slim (I skated that sole on the Sal reissues and they almost felt thinner than Vulcs), but not as thick as an Accel OG. To be honest I don't find the Accel OG sole to be comfortable at all. The rubber feels too thick. Club is easily one of my favourite cupsoles ever.
Reebok Club
Adidas Campus / Superstar
Puma Suede
All amazing cupsoles in order of thickest to thinnest.

Reebok site has an extra 40% off shoes that are already on sale with code SPRING. I tried it on the Canada website, I'm assuming it applies to the US website as well.
I didn't find anything I was into, but probably find some cheap Clubs or something skateable if you're not picky about colours. Workout Clubs are $42 with free shipping in Canada.

Has anyone skated the Nike Court Royale 2s? Lows or Mids, preferably Mids

Honestly tempted to try the Club C’s how’s the cushioning/midsole really?

I'm like 99% sure that it's just a foam in the same color of the outsole and not all rubber like you're saying.
-
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, but I swear that many (if not most) Club C's have no foam there, and I haven't been able to pin down a model name or any other distinction to determine which is which. My source on this is the highly scientific method of seeing them in stores and poking my thumbnail into them to see how hard they are.

I went to check the only pair I have and its definitely like how I said, The foam is just the same color as the rubber. But yeah, not like a super soft foam, more on the dense side.

Just like hard "cut and buff" EVA foam wedge that's exposed in the midfoot, right? It's wild to see it in that gum color... I feel like I only see EVA like that in white or black, assumed there were production limitations for matching a specific Pantone color or something!

All white Ralph Sampson High Tops for $34.99. Anyone skated these?

I have the Ralph Sampson Lows on deck for my next skate shoes after I'm done these Workout Clubs. I haven't skated them yet but can definitely say from walking around in them they'll skate good. My homie in LA bought a pair of the white lows and skated them and said they were good.
For that price if you like high top cupsoles I would say 100% you should get them.

Been skating these OG Sambas. Not my favourite shoe I've ever skated but they were really fun. Definitely fun to cross those off the list of a shoe I always wanted to skate from back in the day but never did. They're pretty slim for anyone out there looking for a slimmer cupsole. Personally I like my shoes a little thicker nowadays (but not OG Accel/Lynx "#bringbackthepuff" thicc. Fuck that shit.)
(https://i.imgur.com/fL1i6hU.jpg)
The Sambas were getting pretty juicy but I was kind of feeling in a rut lately so needed something to spice me up so skated these Workout Clubs I have last night. Definitely like them better than the Sambas as far as feel and shape. The Club sole is really really good. A perfect cupsole. So I think I might retire the Sambas and just stick to the Boks.
(https://i.imgur.com/uQti5mU.jpg)
The Sambas look sooooo good.
I just started skating a pair of workout clubs the other day and it reminds me of skating Nike gatos for some reason. Maybe because the sole gets narrow around the middle

Another question - Anyone skated the Reebok Royal Techque T?

Another question - Anyone skated the Reebok Royal Techque T?
Yup. Basically just a Club C with a thinner sole. The toecap is ever so slightly different. The sole doesn't last too long but it has better board feel than the Club C.

I don’t have those, but I have the low ones (bb4000) in the Dime colorway and they feel like they would skate amazing. It’s kind of a slightly more padded club C.

regular nike drop type premium. found these at the local nike outlet. as close as possible to the allcourt CKs, and for 30 bucks i could not resist. curious how they will skate especially compared to the nike sb allcourt cory kennedy, that i'm skating currently. yeah, they indeed look like some kind of goofy boxing shoes.

Are yours's all leather?
I have these but they're like full nylon or something. Would never skate them. Also, the exposed tongue padding seems like a mess waiting to happen.
-
yeah according to the box and some internet sources they appear to be leather.
however, i am not sure how well they will hold up and how the tongue is going to
hold up. i bought them to skate them, will report back when i do, how they're like.

Two things...
1st: The BB4600s are super chill, padded ride, if you don’t mind a little bulk. Li’l bit high, yeah, but so comfy. That’s my pair of pennies on ‘em.

does the sole take forever to start flexing like the club c's? I swear board feel doesnt exist first 3 sessions on club c's

Really? I think the Club sole is good to go right out of the box. And I spent the majority of the last 15 years skating vulcs.
Just twist the sole around and work that shit in as soon as you get them.

I had some money from a Nike return and decided to finally get some Club Cs. Got the legacy ones with the see through outsole. My wife didn’t like em but meh. I’m gonna chill em for a few days then probably skate them. The ones I got have some suede patches on trouble spots.

The club c soles start off pretty clunky IMO. I bought old DGK club Cs off eBay to see if they’re any different. I’m currently skating the club c legacy. I made a post about it the the shoes you’re wearing thread. The shirt of it is they feel just like the regular ones, but the suede and rubber near the toe is a welcome upgrade.

I actually bought them because of your posts about them. I’ve wanted some Club Cs for a while and saw (I think it was) you post in the Shit I Bought thread, and then the Shoes You’re Wearing and thought the soles looked hot as shit.

Found some off white, recycled materials Reebok Royal Techque T's at Winners yesterday. They appear to be made of felt and nylon (though the description says leather) so probably just chillers. Got em' for $39 instead of $49 because the felt toe on each had a tiny discoloration from someone with dirty hands holding them most likely. They sure look dope though.

Been skating Puma Suedes for about a month now and are actually amazing, becoming one of my favs. Sole definitely wears out quickly though.

laced up these vegan Sambas for the first time today. Doesn't seem like the materials will hold up great but they're super fun to skate.

Been going through a bit of a shoe crisis lately and decided I'd like to skate mostly non-skate models again for a while. Spezials are in my top 5 of all time so I'll probably grab a pair of those next. Wish I could skate Reeboks but I'm awkwardly between sizes in a way that ends up being frustrating.

Puma really did inadvertently make the best skate shoe of all time with that one.
Tuque, that colour is cool! I really liked skating my Sambas too. Honestly I don't think the materials last too long on the non-vegan versions either but I'm here for a good time, not a long time baby!

Puma suedes, really?! They have those at Winners all the time and they feel ridiculously thin and cheap. Like you could twist them in a full 360. Is that maybe why you like them so much? They must require a lot of shoe goo. Seems like the sole would wear through pretty quick too, it’s so soft. Classics, though.

On a mission this year to skate through some of the shoes I have but don't really ever wear instead of buying new shoes specially to skate.
I'm skating some fake Jordan 1 lows my boss bought in Thailand, wore once and then gave to me at the moment and am stoked on them so far. Not sure how long they will hold up but the price was right.
Next are some Michael Chang court victory Reebok pumps, no idea how they will skate or if they will just fall apart instantly after 10years in my cupboard but what the hell, I never wear them anyway.

yeah that's sick that you try to skate them at least. i have a ton of old non skate shoes that i try to skate occasionally. but the last time i tried to skate my old converse pro leathers for example it made my feet hurt because the soles are so stiff now. but those are 20 years old after all. i guess there's limits. i have a pair of emerica echos, a 97 model, that i got 99 when i was 14. i think they were too big back then and they still are a little bit, but since they are pretty puff i sometimes take walks in them but they suffer from the same problem.
i have some non skate dunks at my parents house that i always want to skate to shit but also always forget to take with me whenever i visit.

For whatever reason lately I'm really tempted to skate some Sambas but not sure about which ones.
OG which looks good, some classics with a MASSIVE tongue and just Sambas which look a little odd.
Anybody has experience about this?

Out with the old, in with the new. Insane that i tore through the gustav tonessen sambas in under a month but regular ones lasted me over 3.
I scooped up both pairs for 18 each iirc, at an adidas outlet in new hampshire. Box says samba classic
Those are the common carry over sambas, the one that sells on more comercial shops and its a bit cheaper and easier to find... The shape is not as good IMO tho.

The OG version has the shorter tongue, better materials and shape.

throwing more reeboks into the mix, anyone ever try the BB 4600? looks a bit too high for a hi-top but looks like a promising shoe.

The BB4500s are more mid and great for skating. They are cheap in price and material, but they do last. They just aren't the most comfortable, but definitely supportive. I love them for skating.

Bought and skated a pair of Nike Tiempo and they are skate just like I thought they would.
They are an old shoe and I bought them broken in but hardly worn, the leather is nice and soft and adds to the board feel more so than the old and slightly hardened rubber outsole.
I bought my regular size in Nikes and if anything they fit perfectly with a little bit of room.
Now that I have them though, I don't want to beat them up from skating in them so I need to get something similar for a main skate shoe.
The madness continues.

Not those ones, but 100% would skate some OG Simples if I could find some for cheap. Actually have done quite a bit of looking.
Awhile ago we were emailing Simple about carrying them at our shop but it didn't end up happening. Knew they wouldn't sell but didn't care ahaha.

I had a pair of the OG Simple's back when I was like 8 or 9. I peaked as a child.

Found some off white, recycled materials Reebok Royal Techque T's at Winners yesterday. They appear to be made of felt and nylon (though the description says leather) so probably just chillers. Got em' for $39 instead of $49 because the felt toe on each had a tiny discoloration from someone with dirty hands holding them most likely. They sure look dope though.

I’ve always had a hard-on for Boks and 90s nostalgia can only account for so much of it. Going over this thread has been sort of revelatory though, because I now realize that Reebok has the cleanest looking whites.
These look dope - have you skated em yet? Review pls ;)

anyone on here ever skated munich - grescia's?
they're indoor football/Futsal shoes, which usually convert pretty well.
some of the colour schemes seem to be made up by some executives toddler but I'm kinda into it
one of the more conservative colourways;

These just arrived the other day.
Haven’t taken them out for a sesh yet, but I am assume they are just as nice to ride in as my prior two pairs.
Get ‘em on sale like I did & that’s dollar$ well spent on some shreddy hoof covers.

Nice, Club C's are always a good choice. Just got a little hole in my Club Workouts, I'll post up a pic later.
I was talking to a friend who's high up at NB Numeric and was telling him they should add the BB480 to the skate line because it's a decent substitute for Dunks for people who can't get their hands on Dunks to skate and he sent me some to try out to let him know how they are.

(https://i.imgur.com/tnlNlfg.jpg)
Haven't had a session in them yet, but just walking around in them and standing on my board I can tell you that they're for sure good for skating. They feel really good I'm stoked on them. Except the logo on the side was patent leather and I can't get down with that so I popped the N's off each shoe, threw out the patent, and glued the bottom N back on to the opposite shoes. I think they turned out really dope.

Wasn’t aware of this model but I would definitely buy a skate version. Could definitely have some great colorways on it too. Would be sick if they added more padding to the tongue and the collar area.

@Watson, your “aesthetic” adjustment improved the visuals of the shoe considerably, IMO.

Like Dunks/AF1 but don’t like trashing rare, $100+ shoes? Get some Ebernons. Got these for like $40 on sale and they’re great for cruising and hitting curbs and shit.

these look like the Eberons, but the question is the sole, is it more like af1 or dunk like
Those likely replaced the Ebernons. In my experience it's just the AF1 sole. So board feel is non-existent, but grip is okay and pop is fine once you get used to being an inch taller.
-
Both those use the same outsole unit. It’s also nowhere near as thick as AF1 sole, they probably flex and skate just fine tbh, like any other basic court/basketball silhouette.

Yeah, that's probably the way to describe it. They don't skate amazing, but they're very comfortable, really durable, and a great value.

Nice, Club C's are always a good choice. Just got a little hole in my Club Workouts, I'll post up a pic later.
I was talking to a friend who's high up at NB Numeric and was telling him they should add the BB480 to the skate line because it's a decent substitute for Dunks for people who can't get their hands on Dunks to skate and he sent me some to try out to let him know how they are.

Haven't had a session in them yet, but just walking around in them and standing on my board I can tell you that they're for sure good for skating. They feel really good I'm stoked on them. Except the logo on the side was patent leather and I can't get down with that so I popped the N's off each shoe, threw out the patent, and glued the bottom N back on to the opposite shoes. I think they turned out really dope.

@Watson, your “aesthetic” adjustment improved the visuals of the shoe considerably, IMO.
Agree looks better.
Shits must not sell all that well, but I do not understand how a leather ‘court shoe’ (club c, dunk, aj1, this here nb shoe) aren’t in every lineup, they just work. Looks like a shoe. Perfect. Fucking shoe industry spends hella money outsmarting us.
I love this thread

throwing more reeboks into the mix, anyone ever try the BB 4600? looks a bit too high for a hi-top but looks like a promising shoe.

The BB4500s are more mid and great for skating. They are cheap in price and material, but they do last. They just aren't the most comfortable, but definitely supportive. I love them for skating.
I've tried these and the 4600. Both decent for skating if you can get them cheap. Slap some thin footprint insoles in there and you'll love them.
Edit: just to add on, both pairs did take a WHILE to break in. You can microwave them since there's no metal though. 45 seconds to a minute at a time, lace em up tight and walk around in them. Also, they are made with pretty low quality materials, and my flick definitely suffered once they were very worn, but I just had to use more foot for flip tricks.

Ahaha I don't think the thread gets posted in enough to split into two. Besides, half the shoes on this page aren't even Reeboks.
In other news, the BB480s skate good. Learned two new tricks in them first session and I'm old.

All the Specialz and Gazelles rule for skating. And the Continental 80’s are awesome to skate in. But adidas sizing can suck it. They are all over the place.

I haven‘t skated them, but I have worn them. They seem very solid and good for skating. A wide shoe with a fairly thick cupsole. After you‘ve broken them in they should be fine.

Skated just fine once they broke in (which did take a while.)

thank you guys, gonna try them out in the adidas store and see how they feel. thick soles worry my since i tried skating in my air force 1s and everything felt unpredictable af.

Today I tried Sambas OG and they were really nice.
Didn't needed to put any other insole or anything, just superglue on the stitches and they were ready to go.

Has anyone tried both the Forums and the Liberty Cup? I noticed the outsole pattern is the same between them, so I'm wondering if the Forum sole feels similar to the Liberty Cup, which wasn't the prettiest shoe, but felt perfect under my feet.

The Liberty cup actually used the same midsole/outsole as the Forum Bounce, not the regular Forum, but used a different sidewall wrap. It’s a quite diferente construction from the regular forum so I imagine it will feel fairly different.

Yeah they definitely feel different, but after swapping insoles for something slightly more substantial my Forums made for a wonderful pair of shoes. Not on the Liberty Cup level though. My broken in Liberty Cups were something special.

Yeah, I looked - they're nowhere to be found. Back I go to hunting down more of the 1.5 tasteful colourways that they made of the Liberty Cup.

Asics Japan S in white/ gum.

The gum sole is reeeaaaaaly flexible but weirdly I’m fine with it.
I replaced the insoles bc they were way too squishy. Just put some normal ass ones from a pair of numerics.
Skate pretty well. A few sessions in.

I think we are just so used to really low cuts like vans era’s, chucks or janoskis that these almost look like a midtop. But they aren’t that tall I think.

skated this pair in a different colorway. They feel pretty stiff like all Club Cs at first but they are good. Would 100% put superglue on stitching but otherwise perfect skate shoe (lose grip later)
-
Just ordered these for 65 CAD, have experience with club c's but these have a much thinner sole (although the tread seems as deep as Club C's). Excited to skate these as im coming off some worn ass club c's with the soles almost balding they should seem as squishy/thin as these.

Has anyone skated chuck 70s? I’ve seen Bobby D skate them a lot as well as brad cromer, I found a pair on Depop for $20. I have a friend who wears them casually and the canvas on them is super thick, I think if I did a super glue Ollie bumper I’d definitely be able to get away with them durability wise.
-
they skate pretty good just like regular chucks. the canvas is a bit more durable but not by a lot. definitely worth it for 20 though. put in some better insoles as well.

Just skated a pair of Adidas top ten Hi's, super soft and were pretty much broken in on day one. I'd definitely recommend to anyone wanting that high top basketball feel

That shoe skates really well! The outsole is soft enough to break in quickly and the boardfeel is really good too. Just superglue all the seams tho, otherwise it will fall apart quite quickly…

Was looking at the top ten lows and they look a little bit like dunks to me.

regular nike drop type premium. found these at the local nike outlet. as close as possible to the allcourt CKs, and for 30 bucks i could not resist. curious how they will skate especially compared to the nike sb allcourt cory kennedy, that i'm skating currently.
I have these but they're like full nylon or something. Would never skate them. Also, the exposed tongue padding seems like a mess waiting to happen.
saw a homie at the park yesterday, he was ripping in these. said that at first he was sketch about the material too, but for the price they were they best he's had in a minute. the way the extra foxing wrap is misaligned looks cool in person too.

I haven't tried the MEMT but have seen them in person. I think they're part of Reebok's budget line. Sole is very thin and soft not in a good way. Feels like they would way too soft and probably wear out quick. Overall I think the upper has lower quality materials as well. I wouldn't do it, but it might be worth trying if you can find them for really cheap.

Anyone skate Adidas Pro Models? Or does anyone know the difference between the skate and non-skate versions? A Tactics reviews I read said tongue centering straps and a different insole.
Regardless I’ve picked up 3 pairs of the regular version in the past couple months. I picked up a white pair for cheap with an Amazon gift card and am skating them now. Then a couple days ago I got two black ones at the Adidas outlet for $38 each. White pair has leather inside, less padding around the collar and no padding on the tongue. Black pair are much more padded with a nice padded tongue. I prefer the extra padding but then white pair is still skating just fine. Great shoes though and I’ve finally gotten over my shelltoe aversion that goes back to them being the defining shoe of nu-metal.

I think the skate ones are a different less shiney leather .
But that's just what I can see from photos . I'm sure there's more
The black pairs you got sound like the ones they sell at footlocker here in Australia.
I've been looking at those. the puffy toungue and collar look very appealing
-
I’m skating pro models rn and the biggest differences between the skate version and the originals is the material on the original is not as soft or textured as the skate one. Also the original has more padding on the tongue and collar and the soles are made of a harder rubber than the skate ones. I prefer the originals to the skates

dont listen to this fucker ^
Currently skating the MEMTs rn, the sole is an UPGRADE from club c's because theres actually lasting board feel and still a stiff heel/arch simply cuz of how the sole is designed (super thin in the forefoot as a skate shoe should be nowadays - like those new DC's)
the upper materials are on par with club C's and even breathability is on par
durability is honestly better: the sole is harder rubber and hasn't worn at ALL for me yet even though I skate street and fresh boards and all that (only issue is on glassy skatepark ground they are slippery when pushing)
broke in immediately unlike Club C's
better, less slippery flick than club C's (idk how)
Considering you can often find Club C's for the same price often (60 CAD where im from) I didnt really think of these as a budget shoe but I really wanted boardfeel without going to an ankle rolling vulc
Heel lock is great. I put dunk insoles in mine, havent bruised or rolled my shit yet!

The weird part is that Reebok has two names for that shoe - sometimes they call it the Club MEMT, other times they call it the Royal Techque T. Look it up, exact same shoe. The only thing that makes either any different from normal club C’s is the sole and shape of the toe cap. Better board feel on the techque/memt but that sole doesn’t last, I’ve had several pairs. I actually like the shape better than normal club c’s, not so muffin shaped.

Tbh they are probably better than the ADV. The Campus 80’s is a slimmer narrower version, the regular one is a bit more standard shape and a bit more padded (but not much). I think they’ll both be good skate shoes!
I do miss the campus 2, which was the late 90’s version which was more padded and had a really nice shape. People skated those a lot!

I skated OG Campus a couple of summers ago and loved them. They skated really good and also the joy of skating them and feeling like Brian Lotti was amazing. Boardfeel and grip is really good. I pulled out the insole and put in something more padded. Mine didn't last super long but they were some premium pig suede so regular suede ones should last good.
One of my favourite shoes I've skated in the last few years.

Throw the lawn mower in the garage at Home Depot then hit the house 'gram like Natas Rhino.
I just ordered some black superstars, what am I supposed to expect?
Probably gonna walk around in them for a bit first, but do they take a long time to get flexy? I skate club c's mostly (love when theyre broken in and mushy)
OG Supertars shouldn't take any more breaking in time than Club Cs. Less, probably. I think if you take them out of the box and twist them up they should be good to go. I like the OG Superstars way more than the skate version.

Very little board feel and Your foot positioning for almost every trick will likely change..but they last forever and skate amazing once you get used to them. Definitely don't have to fear landing primo with Shelltoes on ;D

I went to a dozen sport stores over the last few weeks and looked for some OG campus. The guy who worked in the last store asked me why I want these and I told him for skating. His look was priceless ^^ He ordered me some from adidas directly. It seems like the campus is now called 80s campus. Will report back when they arrive.

I skated OG Campus a couple of summers ago and loved them. They skated really good and also the joy of skating them and feeling like Brian Lotti was amazing. Boardfeel and grip is really good. I pulled out the insole and put in something more padded. Mine didn't last super long but they were some premium pig suede so regular suede ones should last good.
One of my favourite shoes I've skated in the last few years.

where are people finding the campus these days? The 80’s campus at adidas stores and on their website are going for $100. It doesn’t seem like it’s a regular shoe they make consistently right now

Saw these at the nike clearance outlet today. They are for fencing but looked a interesting possibility. The toe grooves are rubber so made me think of a modern day E-cue. Plus great lace placement. Didn't have my size.

Checked the nearby outlet mall to see if I could score a deal and came across a nice pair of Club C Revenge MUs for 50CAD tax in. No idea what MU stands for. Skated them for hours yesterday after letting my intense shoe-goo job cure overnight. Really love how they skate, a pleasure to pop and flick with. My kickflips in these are great, though my switch ollies are fucked. Definitely thicker than a skate sole though it still feels like one, and it didn't take very long for it to break in. Not sure how I feel about the foam tongue, I recall seeing skate shoes with foam tongues before, but I don't like how it compresses during run-outs etc. I think the cut of the collar also clips my ankles just a bit too close on the inner side, but we'll see. I am hoping they delay my high top purchases until a little closer to winter.

Skating in Boston when they became popular in the mid 90's some really good skaters called it "shelltoe skating" because to most it's completely different feel. They gave up on them quickly, I personally love them.

i think it’s important to wear them for a couple of weeks before skating in them, the sole is kinda stiff at first but once they break in a little they feel great and because of that initial stiffness the sole lasts pretty long. i’ve been skating only superstars for over a year now and they’re great. the shell toe is very durable and i tend to wear down the toe area quick because of the way i do kickflips, i don’t think any other shoe i’ve skated in had such a durable toebox.

Just picked up some Adidas Grand Courts in a classic white/black color scheme for $29.99 w/ free ship, direct from Adidas, on their eBay store.

Superstars skate the best when they’re new, but they sog out very quickly. Leather pairs at least.

Anyone mess with these yet? I’ve seen them in spenny’s and tiago’s insta lately and have been curious…may cop this white and grey color, dig that scheme, they are called the 480

Yeah I'm wearing a pair of the 480s right now. I got lucky a homie who works at NB sent me a couple pair to check out. They skate really good. Nice cupsole, not too thick, not too thin. Good shape. Toe box is kinda wide for people who need that. They're actually developing it right now to be part of the skate line.

I skated some a while back , I liked the way they skated but it felt like my foot sat too high in the foot bed or something. Whenever I ran out of a trick my foot would slip around in the shoe and end up on the side wall which was scary as fuck sometimes. I also have very sweaty feet so that could have been a contributing factor. Just my experience.

There's one called the Strength that looks like a possibly better Workout Plus. Sole definitely looks better. Shoe overall isn't so bulky.

Not the exact right thread but I'm guessing maybe people who posted here know about non skate shoes.
I've been looking for a pair of nike shoes I had in about 2005. The were basically the cross trainer but without the Velcro strap. Not SBs.
Looked pretty much like Tim oconnors savier shoe. Tan/Brown safari. Cannot even find a picture of them now.

Converse one star suede are amazing - unsure if they are made still or the quality they were in the 90s... -
Fieyue's (martial arts shoe / parkour/ free running) are really great but don't last long (if you want ultra feel of the board) ultra light
downfall of Fieyue - aside from no suede upper - is there is no protection for your achilles (like most low cuts) I got tagged by a runaway skateboard into my achilles while wearing them... they do have built in ollie protection and amazing toe cap of rubber. Shoe costs $25 USD - If only Fieyue would make a more robust design with suede upper I'd pay the extra $10.

I tried the PUMA Smash today. They're ok, not as much boardfeel as vans, converse, nike or adidas. They have a thin cup sole which is nice, very cushiony, SO comfortable buuut the cupsole obviously means less flexibility/boardfeel in this case. I'd say they feel similar to the Lakai sole. Won't skate in them much again because I prefer other skate shoes with a vulc sole buuuut seeing as these retail for like 30-40 euros, not bad if you like cushiony impact-support shoes and are on a budget / don't have a skate store in your town

I remember not being too hype on the suede outsole. maybe they felt mushy for too foamy. I do remember liking the clyde sole that was super thin. The whole clyde shoe is just super thin actually.

If we’re talking about knockoffs of knockoffs, about 11 years ago Vans made a shoe called the 106 vulc, which is basically a thinned out (to the point of being unskateable) chukka low. For a few seasons, they made a 106 with a moccasin toe. Gentlemen, behold:
(http://www.hypebeast.com/image/2011/02/vans-vault-106-moc-lx-1-0.jpg)
I had a black suede pair and they were way too thin to skate when I was 19, but if they beefed these up a little, they’d be amazing.

bought a pair of these since they reminded me of a classier ipath/ wallaby, just for showing up to work. I do not think they are skateable. The outsole is suuper gummy rubber that would probably get destroyed by griptape super fast.

copped some fake adidas superstars (the “streetchecks”?!) and put my NB insoles in em. skated dc all day on tues and they might be my fav shoes i’ve ever skated.
(https://www.famousfootwear.com/blob/product-images/20000/33/64/0/33640_pair_large.jpg)
no!!!!! are they 30 bucks?!?!
i skated strictly shell toes for over 2 years, went through like 25 pairs, never paid more than 20 bucks, most were $10-15, i kept buying used pairs online. try looking for some on depop or somewhere. i’m back to halfcabs now though.
i never had the laceless ones which i think might be the best but they’re hard to find and there’s no fucking way i’ll ever pay retail for these shits.
pro models (hightops) are the best from all of the shell toe versions i’ve tried, the 80s are second (better leather and boardfeel but the toe is slightly less durable) and the regular superstars are the worst in the group, but still great nonetheless. every pair lasted me about 4-6 weeks before i blew through the toe. the regular shell toes are made out of shitty leather so ollie holes are guaranteed in 3-4 sessions but i put shoe goo on there and they were good to go.
-
why is everyone giving me advice about superstars you dudes are cooked
i just posted my non skate shoes good for skating
-
I'm happy for you that you found your fav shoes you've ever skated but my goodness those are offensive to my eyes.
Those racquetball(?) Adidas posted on the last page look sick. There's a Mike Arnold Adidas one off coming out soon based on some racquetball or handball model that should be pretty sick.
I stumbled upon this random Reebok style, the Court Peak and they look super sick but I did some searching to try and buy some and I think they're Euro only.

I think Reebok is the best for sure out of non skate shoes good to skate in.
-
Those court peaks are here in Australia so might be international release
I see why club c seem to be a favourite in this thread
First skate in a pair today, the cushioning of those soles is really nice.
I like the black suede mids I've been seeing online look like the go.
-

Yeah my 1.5yo leather Club Cs have outlasted every other skate shoe I’ve had in that period. In terms of outer and outsole durability, comfort, and general wearableness over time (no gaping holes, missing laces, or that thing where the insole is packed down and outsole gets too worn just under the ball of your foot and big toe so when you wear them your foot is high-centered on the less-worn parts), it beats them all regardless of price.
Feeling like shifting my shoe urges to the non-skate realm and just getting Reeboks to skate. And they have a mid??

I'm sold so I bought another pair cushioning is too good.

I'm not a big fan of that version of the top ten with the different toe panelling, wish they kept it like the OG version, but Top Ten's are really good to skate! Comfy upper with a nice shape and the outsole is amazing! Flexible and grippy.
-
This is the best version of the top ten for skating imo
-
That Adidas shoe the large guy in the Keenan skit in Mouse wears is a solid candidate.
-
Just got some pro leathers, I haven't broken them in yet but I'm hyped
-
I’m skating sambas rn, forget how good those are for skating

I've had my eye on these too but can't find them for a reasonable price even though they're on END and eBay.

I like the look of those Top Tens. Chico was skating Top Ten Highs awhile ago.
These Butter Goods Puma Slipstream Lows look un fucking real.

I have not but chiming into say that since the 1st butter release I have been looking at pumas again too
There's a couple slipstream models released that aren't butter colab that look very skateable
Suedes/clydes/baskets dont have enough meat on the bones for me these days but always was a big fan.
Summer of 92 i remember calling every sports/department store i could find in Brisbane looking for clydes
I would of been 11 . I don't think most of em knew what I was talking about

Those Diadoras look decent. I almost bought some to skate from a sports store forever ago but the sole didn't feel great. Don't think it was the same sole as this though.
Just finished off these Ralph Sampsons a bit ago from end of the season last year. Honestly one of the best skate shoes I've skated. Perfect thickness cupsole, lasted good after glueing the toe piece, and comes with a good insole. Would love to get some more as chillers but they seem harder to find than a year or so ago.
(https://i.imgur.com/RWllFRC.jpg)
Just started skating these Airwalk Ones that I ordered one night off Ebay drunk and high after watching old skate videos. Forgot I ordered them until I saw the order confirmation in my email ahaha. They skate pretty good after swapping the insole (actually put in the insole from those Pumas). Not necessarily a "non skate shoe" but might as well be at this point ahaha.

Also had a picture of these that I finished off last year so figured I'd post the pic. They were fun!

actually didnt go tts but half size up and they are very roomy but still fit good. i actually like that. good to wear with thick socks.
they are not really waterproof tho. as in at a certain wetness level the membrane only helps so much. but ive abused mine a lot throughout last half year and they held up well so far. they are reasonably comfy. i'd guess they do well for hiking.

I liked the Club C more for skating than the Workout Club. The shape was better for me. I just wanted to try these out because the OG sole on the Workouts feel unskateable to me so these were maybe the closest I'll ever get to skating Duffs KCKs.

Both those Campus 00s and the Adi2000 are not from the skate range but are definitely skateable!
I only cruised once on my pair of Adi2000’s and did a few flips, but they felt perfect to skate if I wanted to. The flick is pretty good, and the front is on the pointier side meanwhile the back half is the puffier portion. Also good for the people that rip laces as they are pretty tucked in.
The campus 00s I don’t have a pair yet, but tried them.
It’s a puffier, more comfy version of the campus and looks sick on feet, bet it skates nice too.

Non skate campus skate great. Good arch support. If these have the same outsole I’ll bet they are great

i just saw these online, they’re called campus 00s. basically a puffy campus, thought somebody might be into that.
Woah those are nasty ahaha. Reminds me of the Campus ST I used to skate in the early 00s but even uglier. Reminds of a Knu Skool version of a Campus.
i just looked up the campus st and these 00s are definitely not uglier lol
Don’t worry, it’s just his weekly boomer take. ::)

This definitely looks better than the Campus 00 to me, but they're both ugly. And this is coming from someone who skated at least two pairs of the ST. No shoes need to look that obnoxiously puffy like a cartoon drawing of a shoe. I don't know, must be a Gen Z thing.

Holy fuck man these are a classic, every kid in Spain owned a pair of these, I used to have some navy ones with the white cross and gum sole when I was like 9, might have to get some to skate in you can buy them for really cheap from sports shops in Spain.
I'm currently skating some Stan smiths, they are my favourite shoes to skate in. Before I had some continental 80s which were ok but they had too much stitching that blew out really fast. Reebok workouts are the worst for that even if they feel really nice to skate in

I don't know why but I love old chunky Adidas so I've been hyped they are bringing some of the puff back to some styles. Been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the campus 00s in the US. Some of the upcoming colrways look amazing. Gonna need a few pairs

For some reason this company popped up when I googled Es Shoes. Looks like they're driving shoes but the silhouettes kinda look like minimalist skate shoes. There's even a cool cupsole model they have
The Shift, Avenue and Apex look cool

Not that I'd get any of these but I thought of this thread immediately.

Driving shoes usually have a super thin but stiff sole, no? Could be good if you break them in first, but with those prices? Hell nah.
-
Reebok CrossFit lite lo. These are so nice and wide in the toe, and the suede holds up well. Reebok discontinued them (bastards!) but not before I bought 3 pairs. The only weird thing is there's a little edge that sticks out past the sole right by the little toe (for weight lifting stability I guess?) Once I wore that away, these were my favorite shoes to skate in.

Any feedback on how Sambas skate?

some of the best skating I ever did was in these.

Any feedback on how Sambas skate?
i had a pair 5 years ago, it was the regular samba model, not adv. all suede. it was a great shoe, it had another layer of suede under the t-toe which they don't do with samba advs. two of my friends skated them later on and they seemed to have a similar experience as me. there are 2 different samba models out rn, there's the samba og and another one, i don't remember which one was better but one of them was of worse quality than the other. i'm pretty sure @Sk.A.T.A.N would know
-
Personally found the (dark) gum sole on the thrifted sambas I had a bit to "hard", slippery. But other people who had them usually preffered them over the skate versions, which I never tried myself

So there’s actually two versions of ADVs:
1st one (discontinued) ->
(https://images.solecollector.com/complex/images/c_fill,dpr_2.0,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto,w_680/nfdqxjxptp3lkcxvxmud/adidas-samba-adv)
- just overall not that great if I’m being honest. Skated it a couple times and it bagged out way too much. A “Suicide seam” at the Ollie area made it not durable at all. Also looks like a bootleg samba :-\
2nd and current one ->
(https://assets.adidas.com/images/w_600,f_auto,q_auto/4c15e1511eb14dc6b75cadc8018a38df_9366/Samba_ADV_Shoes_Black_GW3159.jpg)
- Those are basically just an up spec’d version of the regular samba, which is already a great shoe on its own. I think the materials are a bit more tough, also they come with a better insole. I’m not super sure but I think they are a bit more padded too, at least looks like it on my friend’s foot. It’s a bit hard to tell them apart from the regular version but the most identifiable diference is the trefoil in the tongue of ADVs is just an outline while it’s a filled trefoil in regular versions.
-
I'd love the ADVs but they seem perpetually sold out everywhere.

are vans slip on regulars (non pro) considered skate shoes?
-
Regular Vans slip ons are almost all canvas and you'll have a big ollie hole in them after 1 session. Not recommend for skate.
-
are vans slip on regulars (non pro) considered skate shoes?
Yeah if you don't ollie or flick in them. Plenty of simple transition, sidewalk surfing can be done in em, but not durable for any substantial tricks or wear
-
Anybody had Nike court visions? They look like a kind or affordable and getable jordan 1/ vandal/whatever mid 80s Nike Basketball shoe. I watch that rose anvil channel time to time and often he does Nike's and they're fake leather and the worst shoes I've ever had were non sb dunks in the early 00s so as much as I like the look I'm worried about the general quality/skateability

I recently bought some Reebok Club C 85 Vintage's and they are the comfiest shoes i've ever had. The soft stretchy leather took pretty much no break-in time, and they actually skate really well and grip fine. Quality is top notch. Highly recommend.

Anyone skate in modern tennis shoes? I think skateboarders are getting shafted. Ishods are like $160 in Aus and more basic shoes are like $120-$150 but there's basketball, tennis, runners all for way less than that that actually have zoom air and all the other shit

I've been skating different club c's for most of this year.
I like the revenge and the mids .
They are the most comfortable shoes to skate in for me,
Some are better than others due to materials but imo its the sole
So cushy , my feet are very thankful for this thread

Those look scary. For my ankles.
Club C's are fucking great. Haven't skated any in awhile. Might have to change that. I got this really fresh colour from Blue Tile Lounge in Toronto and threw white laces in them to make them look more 90s:
(https://i.imgur.com/trJhakD.png)
The suede is super super soft, probably would wreck quick but I kinda like that.
This colour would be fucking amazing to skate in too. (White laces plz):

We are paying premiums for similar or worse quality shoes than ones not "built for skateboarding".

Y’all that know my history in this thread already know what a proponent of the Club Cs I am: some of the comfiest shoes to skate in & can be had on the cheap regularly if your scraping the web for deals.

Get some now & thank yourself later.

there used to be a gato sb
never skated them but they were relatively popular in the 2010s
-
^^think the lunar Gato sb came out in about 2013 and was prob one of the better shoes sb ever made but was kinda the wrong timing. I just happened to get a pair of the non SB ones a couple years earlier when they came out and they skated great but really didn't go with the Dylan style clothing of the time lol.
Alex Olson also wears some in pretty sweet which is likely how they became an sb altho don't really remember him wearing the actual sb ones

those are very popular over here cause from afar they could be dunks or airforces, or a mishmash of both. i saw that rose anvil vid and i put me off a bit... i almost bought a pair for cheap i have to say just because they look good and i needed some shoes. that was a brown pleather/gumsole thing. they look like they would skate pretty well, but tbf the leather looks bottom shelf if you have them in your hands. then again most nike leather seems to be fake, painted and coated in plastic anyways, so maybe they just weren't finished that nicely. especially since that was a discount shoe store batch.

I had a pair of the og Sambas a few years back too and this perfectly described my experience with them. Surprisingly high quality, lasted a long time, and was very supportive for a thin cupsole. Mine had the long tongue too and I liked how it felt on my foot. The only negative thing I have to say about them is that I wasn't super into how they looked, but that's just my tastes.

Same here, I thought Hi-Tec was a Canadian brand. Used to wear their hikers in the 90s with cut off work pant shorts and long underwear underneath ahaha. These exact ones:

Been looking forever for some 90s Hi-Tec hikers but really hard to find in my size in good shape. I think the aesthetic of them is still perfect and with some tweaks would look amazing as something skateable.

At first they reminded me of that adidas Puig shoe but they also have some Dylan vibe
Showing up at the local with the Ross F1 racing shoes is crazy, who knows maybe the flick is otherworldly, I skated a couple pair of suedes and those were cool

Those look like foot immobilization tech.
And I’ll take it.
Look sick. I’m old and just like the look of that era. That style of sole…I’m in
-
I think the 550 and the 650 look great and definitely think that's an aesthetic that's really missing in the skate shoe market. 90s trainer style. But also I don't know if anyone has checked them out in person but the 550s fit mad clunky in the toe and the sole is rock hard. To the point that I don't even think they'd be comfortable for chilling in.
But if they made it skateable I'd be super into it.

holy shit i love those asics ex89 shoes

Coincidentally I was just talking to one of the Asics dudes today (check out how cool I am!) and asked about the EX89. He said the soles are super hard in them so boardfeel is kinda shit but they are developing a skate one right now.
They definitely look sick though.

I actually tried the lows like two years ago after an ankle injury and although they fit and were cool chillers when I skated them my toes would lose circulation and get numb. Take my experience with a grain of salt. Everyone has different shaped feet.

Definitely trying a pair of Asics EX89’s next, Asics always makes great product, those shoes look dope, and the company supports Novak Djokovic, which is a huge win.

I got an Asics package last week. As mentioned, the homie was right about the EX89s. They don't feel like they would be good for skating at all to me. The rubber is more stiff and hard than I assume most people would want to skate in. I also stood on my board to see how they would feel because they obviously would be sick to skate, but they don't grip good at all. Kinda just slide around because of the hardness of the rubber. Someone could skate them for sure, but I don't see the point. If they make the rubber softer on a skate version though they will be good to skate for sure. Probably about as thick as a Tiago 1010 in the upper and sole.
The Japan S is really good. Skated them for the first time yesterday. The sole is definitely thicker than I expected. I was expecting a thin cupsole like a Puma Suede or NB440 but they're thicker than that. Still feel good though, good grip and board feel. Maybe comparable in thickness to a Dunk but no obnoxiously puffy tongue. And I felt fresh in them for sure. Stoked to skate them some more.
-
^^ both look dope
saved me some $ tho as I was going to buy the ex89 and see for myself
But after your description, nope
The japan s is still one ill probably try at some point
There's a triple black colourway ive been looking at picking up

Damn I was really hoping those EXs were gonna be skateable, they look so sick, prolly just get a pair for chillers
-
They're definitely comfy chillers and they are gonna make a skate one.
I'm sure they are skateable depending on your preferences. Like if you could skate a DC Legacy you could skate these too but I just don't see why anyone would want to.
-
My Adidas Top Ten are breaking in so nicely. I have that classic white/red/blue that has a suede toe cap as well. Really wonderful shoe.

This seems similar to what the Saucony Jazz Court vs Spot Bilt Sonic would be like. Both look like theyd skate great but sonic is just a little too thicc.
Any one skate saucony court shoes?

Top tens are amazing to skate! The cupsole is really grippy, flexible and has good boardfell. Just needs some super glue in the seams and you’re good to go.

Got those from a sneaker shop here in Sydney called above the clouds
They did an asics collab and made these.

Those Skycourts look good! I would fuck with a nice classic colour like this for sure:
(https://images.asics.com/is/image/asics/1202A066_101_SR_RT_GLB?$sfcc-product$)
Looks like they have the same sole as the Japan S, I've been really liking skating those. I've had maybe 8 sessions in them and they're showing barely any sign of wear. I thought maybe they would just blow out because of where the toe piece dips down but I've been surprised with how well they're lasting.
(https://imgur.com/CmXnW2M)
Keep in mind that I'm 45 so my sessions aren't that crazy any more although I do only skate street, mainly ledges so I am ollieing into most of my tricks, not slashing a quarter pipe. Still warming up my kickflips after a whole winter off though.

The Jazz Court looks super good but I can never find them for a good price.
-
Yea ur correct Asics japan s and skycourt are the same sole,
Saucony jazz court does look very skateable
I just started wearing a pair of Saucony shadow 6000 for chillers and they are very very comfortable
I bet the jazz court sole is cushioned well and grippy with that gum herringbone tread too
Seen some dudes skating (on insta) the jordan stadium 90, wouldn't mind having a look at them
But they are very pricey for what they are. Maybe one day on sale for that one,
looks like something Lavar would of skated at the pier, well in in my head anyway :P

Super bummer that it takes a fucking expensive wack fashion house to do it and not the actual Airwalk. Fucking clueless over there.

If you really look at the soles on those Pull & Bear ones it's almost like a platform sole. They look pretty shit for skating actually.

better for chilling in my experience

There's two premium colour ways of the ex89 that has a softer sole and are more skateable
I got a pair last week and really like em. Still a thick sole but works
They have BLAST FOAM instead of FF Blast in the sole
Same sole and foam as the upcoming NBD from what I gather from the japan site
The NBA colorways (FF Blast) that are out are rock hard and probably not great as stated above

thanks to everybody on the fast feedback on the ex89. found them for 60% off, so i thought fuck it and ordered them. Needed to go half size up bacause they are on hte shorter side.
really hard sole and thick.
i like me a solid cupsole and think you could actually skate them if you wanted but i decided to rather keep them as chillers/ everyday shoes.
really dig the way they look and they start to get comfy.
so i'd keep it with @Watson on the sole being too thick. so japans might raather be the skate thickness for me.

I found a bootleg AVE pro from a mexican storebrand and theyre like 22 bucks, just a different sole but they look good enough

I still have a few pairs of these on ice. They skate fairly well, but you probably shouldn’t skate them every day. There’s not much to them cushioning or support wise.

I think they reissued them, and they kinda bombed in Australia so they were really cheap. Love the way they look and kinda feel like Last Resorts are their spiritual successor.

This seems similar to what the Saucony Jazz Court vs Spot Bilt Sonic would be like. Both look like theyd skate great but sonic is just a little too thicc.
Any one skate saucony court shoes?

I know this is 4 months late, bit the spot bilt sonic are definitely skateable. Frankie Hill in Powell’’s public domain and skates street and miniramp kickflipping tf out of a 10inch wide board in some sonic hi’s so i’m pretty sure they work

I know it's played out with sneaker reseller twits and tweens, but has anyone tried to skate the NB550 or 650? Has anyone also identified that one style Tiago wore in that schoolyard mini-table line in that 'Soulja' part? Sorry for being late to the party, I can't be everywhere all at once.

But 650 highs are $35 here (app is showing me FSR)
Same here but at my local footlocker, I bought 2 pairs
Thickest sole Ive ever skated, ortholite cheapo soles are alright but removable if so desired
i have some 550s and got on the board a few times but they were better for everyday use for me. i kind of wish they worked for me when skating though, the sole is a tank

I hate to be the tinfoil hat guy (especially because it interferes with the messages my guardian angel delivers through the fillings in my molars)…,
But,
Doesn’t it seem like every time non skate shoes get popular with skaters, the companies jack up the price?
Club Cs used to be cheap, so did Sambas, then boom… huge price increase.
It’s kinda bullshit.

Good observe, and it feels accurate. Especially in the case of the Club Cs, but if I recollect correct the increase in price corresponded to a transfer of ownership from one holdings co. to another.
Interestingly enough, in this case it was Adidas selling Reebok to… AUTHENTIC BRANDS!
Yep; THOSE guys.
Anyway, those gems used to be had for $30 USD on the regs. RSVP to the days of me buying those things now.
I’ve got two pairs left on ice, along with a pair of the Workout Plus and after that, I’ll have to wait for the hype to die again before I can get back into some ‘boks.
Thank you, Reebok.
It’s been a good run.

It's because normies copy what skaters like/wear causing demand and price to increase. At least since the 90's that seems to be the trend

Club Cs and Sambas are uber popular amongst young people these days. My brother's got a pair he wears almost every day. He is in high school, does not skate, and his closet is 75% Abercrombie. I see them around campus a lot as well.

I skated mine and loved them, got the blk/red, the wht/blk and the all white with grey sole. I bend them up like a baseball glove and walk around in em before skating but tbh I’m not a board feel guy. That being said they have a great flick and grip really well. Swear I can nollie back heel better in em lol

I found Pumas that look like Nike ripoffs at the sporting goods outlet, and then I found blatant rip-offs at the hyper-market store.
Don’t know if any of them any good. I bet the Pumas are alright, but the others felt horrible when tried on.

Have skated in a couple pairs of these. Think they used to be even cheaper, but $39.90 these days. The canvas blew out pretty fast, but the sole and grip is pretty good for the price.

Yes, loved this shoe, sole took some time to break in and get used to but they skated good, when they got to messed up I would wear the fucked up ones into academy and switch them out for new ones and walk out with them lol

😂😂😂 my ex worked at Academy and she would lose her shit about people doing that 😂
I’m excited to give them a test run. It looks like the original copa nationale was a version of this shoe made for the skate line. Might have to track a pair of those down if I like these.

My own take and observation on this lies in how skaters are "ahead" of trends or "create" the trend of what's popular in steet shoes or clothing. With that, I think much of our timing on the spiked interest of the shoe comes right before they hit big with the general public (and prices go up).
This is likely because marketers for these big brands are forecasting trends and paying attention to subcultures that truly appreciate/enjoy the shoe/garment/etc. They use that in their next QX sales meeting to produce more or drive up prices since they expect it to hit with the general public shortly after. Skaters, for example show their shoes off (directly and indirectly) so they know they get the exposure to bank on the risk of it growing outward.
Maybe others feel similar or different or I'm pretty removed in this since I'm not an insider to these companies

i skated a pair of club c revenges last year, and they were probably my favorite shoes i’ve skated that year. they lasted longer than a pair of skate half cabs and like 95% of my skating is flip tricks on hips so i go through shoes quick. just put some super glue on the toe stitching

I purely skate the club c, enjoyed the revenges, but when you buy them make sure they aren’t the “vintage” ones, those have that weird soft leather, the regular revenges are sick, right now im with the club c mid, been finding them for 40 bucks here and there online, put some super glue on them and they are prolly one of the best shoes I’ve ever skated, and I don’t have to worry about them being out of stock or something….but those club c bulls are wack

The Reebok BB4000 skates pretty decent when I had them earlier in the year. Had the Dime and regular versions and they were great. Lasted far longer than vans. Also think they look better than the bulky club C's but that's just me. Regular club C's are great though.

I think the centennial 85 was made out of that soft leather, if you can get over that then they are a decent shoe, never messed with the top 10s though

Can’t recommend the Top Ten enough. Bought a pair around this time last year and they were legitimately one of my favorite shoes ever. It was that classic white/blue/red leather with a suede toe cap. Buy buy buy.
Edit: never skated the centennial 85, had it mixed up with another shoe. Looks interesting actually.

Ahah I knew this one would pop here at some point. It was built as a casual shoe, I did try to make it a bit skate friendly, but not sure on the skate ability since it wasn't tested or built as a skate shoe.
The outsole is a bit too wide on the forefoot which might make it a bit weird to ollie/flick, but I haven't really tried.

Nice work. I have some copa mundials for indoor soccer. If I blow those out, I'll look for these.
Is there a specific name shoe designers use for the "soccer style" stitching in the toe area, or any similar kind of stitching that creates a pattern of depth in the material like on the Jordan 12 or Nike Air Total Max Uptempo (Reggie Millers)?

Thanks man!
The term you're probably looking for is "quilting", which is done by stitching through fabric or leather with foam in the middle, creating that padded effect.

The 574 Court, formerly(?) all coasts, isn’t a skate shoe but maaaan. It sure skates like one.

For some reason that cw gives me heavy Karangelov vibes. I know a bunch of people who swear by those.

Air Max 97’s once they're dogged out would not be bad at all.

I skated weapons in highschool. Got a some from ross for maybe $20. They didn't hold up. This was like 2006-7. I was however a huge fan of the cons weapon x

yoo. first time posting on here but I was wondering if anyone has skated the jordan air ship? Im skating some jordan 1's rightt now and I'm really liking them but im definitely not trying to pay $130+ every time I need new shoes to skate. I've been seeing the jordan air ship that looks really similar and they're typically around $80 for a pair so I was thinking about grabbing those but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them at all?

Always thought the Nike Book 1 would skate great but just saw a dude trying to flex skating a limited pair.

I've never seen the Air Ship in person but it seems to be the same sole as the OG Jordan 1 and I'm assuming built on the same last so they should skate pretty damn near the same I would guess. If you go through with it, report back. I've eyed them up as well!

Borderline “not for skating”, but if i didnt have the money for proper skate shoes at $100, and was not jumping down anything, these are definitely passable: they have decent slip-in thick insoles (like popcush almost), but rock hard “midsoles” and decent feeling rubber soles. And looks like suede.
I don’t know, for $20-$30, and some aftermarket insoles, these could be pretty decent skate shoe, all-things-considered. They don’t look half bad either. But I’ll leave the look judgements to you.

Those are Airwalks so they're still technically "skate shoes" since they're a skate shoe company. Even though, they've shifted ownership, brand direction, etc. since making an attempt at coming back. These are spotted at Walmart, yes? Similar scenario as the budget Etnies (knockoffs?) seen in Walmarts.
Either way, they're definitely skateable. Quality? Who knows haha but budget Airwalks I skated in high school were great for 2-3 days and then were toast. I don't see a log of mileage happening in these if you or anyone tries these out @JM

theres an area ripper whos so broke he only skates walmart sperrys, next time i see him ill ask if hes taken a crack at em

I actually bought some Walmart slipons and threw in some old popcush. They feel better than any slip on ive experienced before, as my toes are freakishly spread apart and most slip ons cramp my shit up

i bet you rip for having that knowledge

Walmart indeed!
I desperately wanted to see Etnies in there and get a photo, but they didn’t. But the Airwalk array made up for it.
They really did seem like decent skate shoes for $25. Old friend in ‘01 would skate Walmart shoes and he could backside flip a ten stair, front board a 14. backlip a flat bar. He was really good.

I suddenly got an itch to skate Adidas Originals, anyone here have experiences with Jeans or Handball?

anybody has experience with the standard, non-skate japan s asics? i have this white/navy/gum pair that i’ve been chilling in for the last couple months and they’re getting a lil dirty so i’m thinking about skating em. it’s the synthetic leather and i don’t think i skated this material before so idk how it feels or how durable it is. if it’s trash then i’d rather clean them up and keep them but i kinda want to snatch a few wigs @ the skatepark in them shits

They're good. Less collar and tongue padding, and the stitching will blow out quicker. But fundamentally they shouldn't feel too different from the skate ones. I have both

i superglued the stitching and skated them today for about an hour, they feel pretty good so far

Yeah I skated my regular Japan S all last summer and really liked them. Got sent a pair and was just gonna try them out for a couple sessions but liked them enough that they became my primary shoe for the season.
Recently got a pair of the skate ones and like tzhangdox says, there's not a lot of difference. Skate ones have a slightly thicker tongue. Personally I prefer the tongues on the non-skate ones. Maybe the skate ones have a better insole?
Anyway, good shoes hope you like them. That's a dope colour! Black laces would look fresh in there.

Looking for some shoes to skate in that have a midsole like adidas boost (I don’t know the nike equivelant). Kind of like these busenitz pureboost from a while back. I plan on shoe-gooing vulnerable spots, but any recommendations would be awesome.

No and are barely safe just to walk in... That Pure Boost sole is one of the most unstable toolings I've ever walked on. Super wobbly and narrow. Don't skate in those for you ankle's sake!

sadly insole just as dogshit on the skate ones as in the non skate ones

+1 on non-skate ASICS have a dog shit insole. I’ve tried to skate non-skate vickas and the midsole is not forgiving and the shoe feels like the sole and upper have 0 cohesion - meaning I almost rolled ankles so many times on them.

I don’t know but either way they don’t make them anymore. I was just posting that as an example for the midsole. I have some walking pureboost that my feet got accustomed to and feel pretty good cruising on board. But any trick or fall would basically break my toes or foot in half if I skated seriously in them.
Using search in this thread there’s some talk about the adidas harden v3? That looks good but also not made anymore

They’re cheap, Extra 30% Off with Code: REEBOK30
Not sure if I should put them in the sale thread….

Adidas campus 00s looks interesting, anyone wanna try?
Giving this is a bump because I'm contemplating a pair after trying them on.
Seem similar to Accel OG's. And with the price point being similar to adidas Skate/Nike SB shoe, is it worth giving a shot if anyone has attempted to skate in them?
