I really liked PJ's first New Balance 533 model, the Stratford. I still look for it online. I bought a pair off cold budweisers and the flick was great. I got a 9 and they felt too snug, though, and I usually wear 9 or 9.5.
I wish Lakai would keep the Staple reissue in rotation, that shoe's got a great flick as well. Did they ever make a Staple XLK? Is that possible?
I was hearing good things about the Converse Metric, I'd like to try that out one day.
The Adidas Busenitz mid that came out a few years ago looked really tempting. I could never lock in a pair.
I also wanted to skate the Adidas Matchcourt that Nakel designed, with the three shades of blue for the stripes.
