Best Core Shoe Brands

[FakieNollie]

I'll go with Lakai

[Ziad]

Etnies, I had the Marana XT and it's very durable

[thebacker]

Reynolds G6 is the best skate shoe of the 2010's

DONT FUCKING @ ME

[TD]

I had no idea vox was still around

I'll go eS just on cupsoles. God I wish I could get a reissue off Penny's

[Chatbot]

I voted Lakai since the slip ons treated me well. Only went through three pairs of skate shoes this year and those were them.

I will never forgive Lakai for the leon karsen crap they put out. That was the last straw

That's true. They had a few questionable and gross collabs. Their simple black, white or navy shoes is all I get. I don't know who would buy those neon blue shoes with flames and xoxos on them. WACK

I'd forgive them only if they brought back the Manchester. Cupsole, not Select. Never gonna happen though

(not sure they'd even be able to do it justice anymore)

In before the whats core discussion starts...

[TheLowerBack]

Proper

[shit_for_brains]

Core brands like Altamont Capital Partners and their family of Consumer Retail Goods like the Huf Worldwide umbrella covering Huf and Lakai, managed under the Renegade Brands family of brands that also include Shift MotoX, LIB Tech, and Fox Racing? That kind of core?

[planman]

State's doing the best job right now. Great team, product, branding, videos, etc.

If under these same standards, DC under the quicksilver umbrella should also be included.

Looks like Renegade Brands has my whole kit for 2019 covered! 

Lib Tech is still a thing??

The big company Quiksilver became Boardriders inc. so stay vigilant. My point is that this whole "core" thing isn't real and it's how things called Renegade Brands markets to people. Buying the shoes made for skaters by skaters sells. "Look it's Mike Carrol and Rick Howard and Lakai!" when it's really "Look it's CEO Steve Holley and the Renegade Brands family of brands®!"

Support skaters not some stupid industry.

They make really good snowboards that are quite popular. I guess that's their bread and butter and all the other stuff is just something a lil' extra.

[GAY]

"Straye" LOL

[fs overkrook]

I didn’t vote because all those brands suck

[SneakySecrets]

What about Supreme?  Too underground for yall’s bitch asses probably.

Can't believe someone voted for Vox. I've skated more Emericas than anything else, and currently wearing the shifter high reserve which is a great boot.

[wildbillhiccup]
