I really don't understand why Adidas dropped the Lucas Pro. Such a perfect shoe...

Adidas drops all of their good shoes and then brings out matchcourts in 57 different colourways

I wish I could go back to 2012... When the Lucas Pro's were discontinued, I started stockpiling as I wagered Adidas overall quality might start going down (especially after seeing what happened with the first Silas Pro shoe and it's successors.) I actually still have a few NOS pairs of the Lucas Pros left which should allow me to live the fantasy a little longer.

The Classic Slims are a gamble. I bought them a few years back wanting to try something new, as I had previously been running conical shapes, but could never bring myself to set them up. Part of me thinks I'm not going to like them very much after being used to wider profile wheels. However, I felt bad watching a new set of wheels languish in my box of old skate junk, so we'll see how it goes. If they don't work out, I'll post them up here in the classifieds.

[tangar]

I skated a set last year, oddly enough on my huge BA 9.25 shape and loved them. For some reason I have been preferring skinner shapes on my bigger boards and conicals on my popsicle setup, for look AND feel.

the trucks turn really good,the shape is like the old indy(something like the stage IX) but lighter.
i changed the bushing but it depends if u are into loose trucks or not.anyways i set up always a set of bones bushing in all my trucks.also they are cheap, but not a mini logo truck or slant truck.anyways also krux is cheap but they are great trucks.

I'm setting up a Blind Banana & Skull Gonz reissue

Blind Banana Skull Gonz 9.88
Indy Forged 169
Bones STF 55s V5
Bones Swiss

I'm yet to buy the trucks, but will the 169s cut it on a board that wide?  Really dont wanna go up to a 215, but don't want a magic carpet, either.

[nosneb]

I think 169 will be spot on. I have a set of 215 I put on my Klein 9.5 and my wheels stick out a lot

did you buy them off their website? are the prices for a single truck or a set? that might be a weird question but i still bump into online shops that sell trucks separately and the website says "truck" and not "trucks" when you click on a product. i'm a little confused because of that.

about to set up a new deck. loved this one but the razor tail and chipped nose are getting quite harsh. new one is the exact same shape so I should be good.

no i don't like thin flimsy shoes either

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

I think if you actually skated and liked a shoe in it’s heyday then what’s the problem? I’d skate the fuck out of a pair of Emerica Ed Templeton 1’s if they redid them

Heads have been asking for a OG lynx reissue for years and DC obliged, can’t hate on that

Lynx may not be everbodys cup of tea but man it feels good to be back in them after 20 years! Btw I was skating slip on before getting back on the DCs

[HangtenNoseblunt]

i should like the lynx because i like bulky shoes, i like red, i like wenning but they just look like shoes you would buy for your 9 year old or something

[nosneb]

I was 9 when they came out? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol
