No mention yet of the Jordan 11 influence on the Koston 2?




Also the Lakai Carroll 2 with the weave and the Jordan 15s.





I've heard a few times the Koston 1 was inspired by a racquetball shoe. I'd love to see the shoe that was the inspiration.

Haha thank you Watson! Those Prada joints are sick! They look kind like some safety shoes for kitchen stuff or something.

These prada joints are the real deal. I have multiple pairs, sickest shoe. Always wanted the dill shoe back in the day, but these will for sure due.

Also...that silas baxter neal adidas shoe was not a zx, its a marathon Tr. almost identical copy.

i know alot of people really want that shoe re-released, but the marathon tr is about as close as you can get.

I picked up a Prada blundstone looking boot, and it felt like unbelievable quality. It was weird. Just holding it felt good. Wearing $1300 shoes seemed like some weirdo shit, so I didn’t. But it was pretty wild how solid/good the thing felt in my hand.

The dill shoe was maybe a better idea, than execution, but it was a cool idea.

The Emerica Gamma is almost identical to the classic Reebok Club C. I'm on my 3rd pair of Club C's as skateshoes currently and it got me wondering if these would out perform them as they seem to be a Reebok made for skating.

Yeah definitely a cool idea. I Have some Prada shoes from 2000 that have held up to this day, only thing is they couldn't figure out the insole so the comfort level is pretty low once they're worked in a bit

Those Gamma would def last longer since the Club C toebox blows out within a month, but I think Club C would have more impact support. That reebok sole might be the perfect cupsole.

Yeah the toebox stitching gets destroyed on them, but I always shoegoo it and the upper lasts until the outsole blows out. I used to shred shoes to tears, most pairs would last about a month but my first Club C's lasted for 8 months of skating 5/6 times a week. The sole seems way more durable than most skateshoes I tried and yeah, the comfort of their cupsole is unmatched.
