Have around 24 pairs of Emerica KSL g6 on ice
If the Joslins get discontinued this will be me as well.

I have 2 pairs I swap out for colors to wear to work and weekend stuff, and 1 sitting in the box in closet. (One of these will be chosen for its glorious new life as griptape scraper)

But I don’t go through gear very quickly so a pair of shoes will last about 8 months or so.

and I’m jealous! I have one more pair on ice and then I’m done …

Would have 5 more if they did not loose my package, but got a refund. Panic ordered around black friday when the price was good and i read that g6 are gonna come on like one model in the future…

That pic was badass haha! Please tell us more, how long do shoes last you? Do you ever feel like this is a little overboard? Do you just accumulate these pairs over time or is it a all at once purchase?

I bought twelve of these for $10 each. Have skated a few and gave away a couple. Probably won’t have to buy wheels for a couple more years.

For ksl its month and a half, i dont chase them. Bought most with discount. But my knee pain went away when i started using g6, so im sticking to it. Yeah its abit overboard, but fuck that knee pain, rather shell out money.

If buying shoes to skate, only to not to skate them is a crime then put me in jail. I think i have 4 on ice.

4? I probably have 15-20 at least

Admittedly, I've recently started wearing a few pairs casually to rotate them in before skating

I want to do this, but there's something about new deck/new shoes. I like taking them with me to the spot, and breaking them in during a session.

I’m starting to think Emerica started the rumors about going under and sacrificed a few lambs so all the doom preppers would buy up the remaining KSLs and Slip Cups for their ice vaults. Maybe it shored up enough liquidity that they can keep hanging on for a few more seasons.

Damn I didn’t realize the KSL was good enough to stock up on. My local has some I was looking at but the price is higher than I want to go with. The G6 is legit though. I’ve been skating a pair of Reynolds G6 on and off for about 4 years and they are about done. I’ve swapped out multiple other pairs of shitty vulc shoes in that time but always come back to the G6 because I’m old and my feet hurt.

Ooh. I like conspiracy theories.

Maybe that’s why they canned EmericaTM: because he was putting in too much effort to make Emerica look good.

And they didn’t like that.

Not. One. Bit.

That's why I wear them casually when not skating so it breaks them in. Skating them for the first time feels less of a struggle than if I went straight from the box. Especially because I only skate thick-ish cupsoles (Marana, KSL, Joslin, Silo SC, Reynolds G6, etc.)

That's basically how the new deck I often set up right before I start skating the casually worn pair from my stack gets paired. New shoes (new as in not skated) with a new-er board

Just took inventory.
9 pairs of shoes. Joslin x 8. Marana x 1.
2 sets of indy 149s. 1 standard. 1 standard hollow
8 sets of F4s. 53 classics, og classics, radials, lock-ins x 3. 56 conical full x 2.
15 decks. 4 popsicles. 4 eggs. 7 shaped.
Grip, bearings, hardware, risers, bushings, yes.
The worst part about this, I dislocated my elbow 4 months ago and haven’t been able to skate since.
And don’t get me started on my stockpile of lightly used gear.

It sucks having a ton of gear and not being able to use it. Part of me think it’s a bad idea to hoard stuff cause you never know when an injury will take you out 🥲

I’m probably neck-and-neck with your count (except my shoes are Vans not Etnies) and I keep thinking I’ll skate more, but being a new dad with a fulltime job has really slowed down all my skating.

I spend more time talking about skating now than actually skating.

My shoe vault increased substantially during the BF / Xmas sales, I now have 7 pairs of NB and 3 pairs of eS. I've decided to stop fooling myself thinking I can skate Nike SB / Adidas / Lakai and give / sell them to homies.

Sad I didn't try the 1010 earlier - I wanted to stick to eS but they're just not as good.

definitely, skateboarding is definitely a sub-culture
