Grasshoopers lasted a long time. I had a great pair that was a rad Hemp/ Synthetic combo. I was not patchouli oil wearing young man and I never played hacky sack but Ipaths worked for me.

My little brother had some all black yogis from the tail end of ipaths lifespan when youd constantly see them on sale... they were sick af, like a thick leather high quality dunk

I think if they were to try to comeback with the same quality they would easily retail for 150$+

Had the brown leather yogis back in 2003 pretty sure they were the most expensive shoes I ever got maybe $250+ in Aus. I probably got like $5 an hour at the time. The leather was better than any dunks I had but an ankle surgeon did tell me they were fucking stupid shoes lol

semi relevant but did the ankle surgeon recommend any footwear?

Stan smiths was the example but basically something where your foot is pretty sunk in and natural angles etc.
This was in the early 00s and he was an older guy so I think he probably went from the most simple types of shoes thru all the dumb tech bullshit and saw first hand how it was bogus. He hated anything air bubble and especially hated Rowley XLT style (which includes the yogis, he also hated the height) where your foot is on-top of a foam wedge basically just asking to get sprained.
