I'm unapologetically skating in the Nyjah nikes. I don't even care. I have never ever ever found a shoe that fits me as well as these. The size 13's fit like 12.5 and they hold up stupid well. Like no holes after weeks of light skating and I practice flip tricks quite a lot. I've taken to ripping off his name from the tongue but fuck it. These shoes are too good for me to even care about who gets the money for them.

nice. ive wanted to skate a pair of these but cant find a decent colorway on sale ever.
[close]

Yeah, some of the colorways are total garbage. I've been lucky to be able to grab a couple decent pairs. Sure nyjah is lame as fuck but seriously, the shoes are fucking solid. I have actually bought multiple pairs in case they stop making them.

he's fucked, that last IG post at hollywood high. the sole lasts too?
[close]

Yes they do. The only thing is, if the shoes get wet, they'll crack if you put it near heat. Kind of weird but not unexpected given the material. Even then, with the cracks, the shoe still holds up really well. Seriously, the only shitty thing about these shoes is the pro whose name is on the shoe. Honestly have never been so happy with a sneaker in my life. I have four pairs right now. Straight up my girl buys them for me periodically because I like them so much.

I want to try a pair just because they look so unique. I’ve be running thin grippy vulcs for years tho so I’m not sure how well I’d transition to the Nyjahs.

I love these shoes

I've never been a DC kind of guy but these Kalis S are freaking sick.

Tried them on in store yesterday and they did feel secure albeit a little chunkier than I like. Tactics and Warehouse Skate is having a discount on them, may scoop up a pair of the grey / red ones.

Wanted those so badly, obviously because on Elltingtonish reasons, but not on my size </3

I just started wearing them, and my first day I really liked them. However after wearing them (not skating) a second day My feet were killing Me. But I refused to give up on them now I have 3 sessions on them and wear them to work. I am back to loving them and although I have about 5 pairs of skate shoes stashed away, I have no plans on skating anything but the Nyjahs from now on. They are amazing IMO

Seventyfrigginseven · « **Reply #94 on:** March 15, 2020, 10:59:53 AM »

This is after skating them 3 times totaling about 4-5 hours(I'm old) Plus almost entirely fliptricks on a new deck. Barely any wear in the toe and lost one lace while trying to get some of My heelflip tricks back. But the shoes still look new.

finknoos · « **Reply #95 on:** March 15, 2020, 11:15:57 AM »

Ace 33s, swapped out the bushings for Bones Hardcore soft (blue) and they're by far the nicest feeling trucks I think iv'e ever had.

Yeah I feel the same way. I really really hope they continue to make these shoes. I've never had skate shoes this good in my entire life. I get that shoe choice has so much to do with foot size and skate style and whatnot so obviously these won't work for everyone but I'm 100% in love with these shoes.

Got Mini Super Juices in the mail today, set them up, bombed a few chill hills, and i'm feeling great.

Stoked on Tablet shaped spitfires. Wasn't sure they'd suit me but I learned Slappy Smiths today and I think they helped in this process.

sick! what size tablets? intrigued by riding surface on par with conical fulls

Fred Gerwer Frank Gall · « **Reply #100 on:** March 18, 2020, 08:12:03 PM »

I got the 55mm 99a ones. I have some 54mm 101s up next.

From that Altamont sale. 3 pairs of jeans some shirts and a jacket. I'm feeling good.

Omars_Dad · « **Reply #102 on:** March 19, 2020, 06:39:01 AM »

really hyped on these. i went from 101 52mm wheels to 99a 55mm. i really like the wider contact patch the lockins have for chunky east coast sidewalks and streets. I don't have to push nearly as much and setting up on rough spots feels so much smoother

I would say yes, 9 is too tight for me, 10 is comfy but the toe box is huge. A 9.5 would have been just right for me, same experience with Emerica and Nike

weon · « **Reply #105 on:** March 19, 2020, 10:37:58 PM »

nice nice thx dude. could only find the Manolo colorway in 9.5, so that’s what’s coming in the mail hehe.

all this sitting around at home leaves way too much time for online shopping...

Damn, I was looking for the 9.5 but Tactics only they only had a 9, so I'll stretch it out with some orthopedic insoles.

Yup, TTS all day with those puppies. Waiting for next month to get the Manolo ones too.

I chose the Manolo because it has an additional bit of material over the toe cap, hopefully that helps with durability.

eS Square Three - strikes a good balance between cupsole in terms of padding and grippiness of a vulc. Looks reminiscent of OG Accel which looks really puffy by today's standards.
