I guess I blocked this from my memory; someone gave me a pair of the DVS Jason Dills in white with a gum sole. I think I wore them twice. I can’t find a picture of the color way but you can imagine what they looked like

If these had velcro they'd be 100% senior citizen joints.
Two of the ugliest shoes I have skated that come to mind:

Gross, but skated decent once broken in, and nearly indestructible.

Gross, skated terrible, and somehow were very durable. It pissed me off how durable they were because they skated terrible, and kept lasting and I couldn't justify buying new kicks.
