best shoe ever

Who needs these in a size 11??



I’ve only worn them a hand full of times and only done 2 kickflips in them. They’re a little big for me.

The Lakai Howard 4 in this exact colorway. Been loving them deeply

Those are 5's. The 4's had the Samba style toe, and I always wanted them.

vans is pushing some dumb sweater that they're calling the versa.  reminded me of my favorite shoe from years past, also called the versa.  if i remember it was a shoe based around chris pfanner and alex olson. they tweaked the profile when they made the sage 4 (another perfect shoe), which eventually evolved in to gilbert's first pro model. bought every size 9 i came across.

I don't know if I want them rereleased, but fuck they were my favorite from that era. AVE 2001-2ish I believe. I had the Black/Charcoal ones. So god damn tech haha

I had Osiris Adam McNatt's in all white and someone stole them on vacation at the beach with my family. Loved those shoes.  But Rowleys XLT and Templetons 1 were my absolute favorite shoes back in the day

after a shitload of nagging, i convinced my mom to buy me these shoes, they were expensive from what i remember. summer of grade 9 going into 10 maybe? either way that part of high school where people begin to party a bit. went to a party at my friends house and the classic kid with alcoholic parents that had already started drinking in grade 7 bully type of guy hated the fact that i didn't want to drink, and that i was a skater. he took one of my brand new kircharts and lobbed it over my friends house into an alley and it landed perfectly into a shitty ditch. i didn't find this out until i was trying to go home and could only find one of my shoes. couldn't find the shoe that night, had to go and find it the next day, mother fucker took like 2 days to dry out. great shoes though, skated them for a long ass time.

same kid also ratted me out later on in the school year for stealing candy from the corner store across from our high school, and i got sent to an alternative school which turned out to be way better than the 'normal' one i previously went to.

I actually have a pair of those Adam McNatt shoes. The ones Keenan Milton said "What are these? A fucking potato?" All white with the grey sole and the signature on the bottom. They're kinda dirty but in good shape. Probably a 10.5 or 11 if you're interested. Wouldn't be asking much for them. DM if you're interested.

You are absolutely right, Sir. The 4's were equally great though.

Fade


Staple

Attention Lakai—do reissues if you want to be real my in the US

The fade was such a dope shoe.

As a dunk guy this is the only shoe that would make me try out the three stripes for skating again. I'm pretty bummed I never got a pair of these.

It seems so dumb to me they didn't make this a standard Adidas model that was always available for people who like this type of skate shoe. It doesn't fit with the "brand image" they go for I suppose. The closest I got to these were some hideous outlet Adidas neo's that had a similar toe box but were mid top. They skated very well though.

The shoe appears to be based off the vintage Adidas Zx 750 trail running shoe as well as taking cues from the dunk and other skate shoes.

All I want is the Ellington red grey emericas

Main reference for the silas was the marathon tr range... Its kinda like a skateable low top of these (marathon tr mid):


The outdoor look was pretty sick imo. 
I still have a pair of them in burgundy that I wear casually from time to time only because I dont want to destroy them skating...

[alonelikeastone]

All white leather vans fairlane... with a pro insole... I had my share of these and never got hurt in them.

Who needs these in a size 1110.5??

ha found these in the brown girl collab colorway at a buffalo exchange in seattle not too long ago. Btw, these are the howard 5.

Howard 4 had the T toe, and were sick AF.

i can remember being a pretty fan of both the ksl1's. i've also skated more pairs of reynolds 3's than i can even recall because for some reason i could always find them for really cheap. lastly, i wouldn't necessarily want them re-released but i'd be interested in skating a pair of reynolds 2's again because i remember they lasted me long as shit and i skated them during a window of time where i was progressing fast so maybe it is a false positive association i have when thinking of them

This would definitely be that shoe.

The Gino Iannucci Sb Dunk Low Pro from 2002

I know it retro'd as a High top but they should have just retro'd the Gino's, Mulder's, Forbe's, and Supa's as lows. Hey Nike... you still could! I would buy all of them except the Supa's for sure. I feel like you gotta rep the Knicks, Auburn, Florida, or another specific team with that colorway. Still clean for sure though.

[finecojeffe]

definitely agree with this one. I missed out on them, and not sure why either. I have a few pairs of the marathon tr shoes too just for chilling.
