[Surf The Earth]

Whats some stuff you really want but either does not exist, or has not been released

For Me:

Waffle Cup Half Cabs

[tzhangdox]

Ventures with a slightly softer metal, 5.6/5.8 lows with a inverted kingpin.

Generator boards 8.25-8.5 with a wheelbase between 14.25-14.38, 14.31ish maybe

venture 5.6 low

Dunks you can actually just buy. Thunders with a longer baseplate.

[Dwyck]

A vans court shoe that actually goes to shops more than one season

Only in dreams. The last General Release was probably the orange Corduroy dunks back in 2019. Now they are being sold for $450 and go straight to a rich white kid's plastic box. Nike fucking up big time though...

[rosemaryBB]

Adidas Indoor Super inspired skate shoe permanently in the Adidas Skate line

Yep, it sucks big time. Last pair I skated was the dark grey and black low tops (with gum bottom of the sole) and I still have a pair of the Nuggets NBA collab high tops that are almost like new, probably gonna get to skating them (or at least wear them more than twice) sometime.

THEY TUK ERR DUNKS

Replacement part for skate tools. I long for my ol’ sentimental reflex tool to have a screw driver and allen key once again.

I was musing to myself about this last night on my way home from work. I've tried going back to lows (5.2s on an 8.25") multiple times in the past few years but I just can't deal with the lack of KP clearance.

I emailed DLX about a year ago asking if there were any plans for a 5.6 low and they gave me a non-answer.

Nike Sb reissues of some of their weirder classics like the E-cue and the Url, hell maybe even a revamped Savier model (one of the more "tasteful" Saviers of course) and a TRUE reissue of the old Sb FC - I had a pair of the FCs when I was a kid when they first started making them and I'll never forget how much better they felt compared to everything else I skated when I was 15/16. They felt slim in a nice way, still had padding, and this is kind of stupid but I loved the way the old soles looked.

Crail boards on good wood 

[Mantracker]

I want to start a hardware company that makes thinner nylock nuts for the axles of trucks. The idea would be that you could put more speed washers on your axle between the truck and wheel and with the smaller thinner nylock nut, you could essentially widen the width between your wheels on your trucks.

For example:

Standard Hardware: You can use Ace 44 (8.38) axle with an 8.38 board with standard hardware and your wheels are flush.

Custom Hardware:  Ace 44 (8.38) axle with an 8.5 board and have to make up that .12 inch (3mm). Use 4 speed washers on each side of the wheel and use the thinner nylock nut and you make up that 3mm

No need to change the trucks for slightly different shaped boards. It could also make more skaters try the next size up deck without buying new trucks for the settup

[Lou Strux]

An Ace truck that comes in at 8.75” wide would be sweet.
At least I can dream.

Definitely agreed. Would love a re-issue of P-rod 2s or the air classic sb as well.

&& signature helmet with detachable hair included

This is the first thing I thought of as well. Three general release non-SB dunks come out next Thursday. I hope me posting that doesn’t hurt my chances of getting a pair. Bots will probably get them all anyway though.

Pretty sure that's coming around April 2021

I search Tacoma Screw for such a thing and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist. I considered grinding down a standard nyloc for this purpose, but ultimately I gave up on my quest

Seconding those titanium Ace trucks, or at least Ace with a lighter baseplate and hollow kingpin, like Indy does. I suspect that this sort of product could appear over time, as Ace continues to grow

[Sedition]

Thunders with a longer baseplate.

[Sedition]

(1) A Thunder option that...
-had a longer baseplate
-shorter WB / turned better
-53mm high

(2) Ace trucks that...
-came in standard sizes (8.25, 8.5, 8.75, etc.)
-didn't weigh so much and/or hollow/titanium versions

(3) Indys that...
-were svelte and light like Thunders

(4) DLX Full shapes but with their standard wheelbases

(5) Vans to make Sk8-HIs in the OG light blue / navy colors

(6) F4 Lock-Ins with a smaller riding surface

(7) All F4s to also come in 97a.

[funeral_tuxedo]

Stickers with a slicked surface or another flat/slick material to place under wheel wells to help reduce wheelbite. 
Nike SB lunarlon insoles.
Another run of Nike SB Project BAs.
Volcom modern stretch chinos in white.
Vans pro aftermarket insoles with a few more mm in the forefoot to ease the high arch and make up for the thin sole.
Not skating related but an all-tool to remove stubborn wall anchors would be nice.

Non-sweatshop skate shoes

[Reed Richards]

Burgundy Half Cab pros with the black tongue.

[Bristol_Palin]

Burgundy Half Cab pros with the black tongue.

They made a non pro just regular half cab pair in 2016 or 2017 and I wanted them bad but they I never saw them in a shop I think I would of had to buy them of the vans site because that was the only place I ever saw them but I regret not getting them

[sketchyrider]

bones wheel that's in between skatepark and street formula, in different duros, maybe 103 101 and 99.

i think the seperate formulas approach is kinda outdated.

[munchbox]

more boards with sub 6.5" tails.

love the pop on a short tail

[Big Baby Jesus]

Polar 8.5 popsicles and p2 shape with sub 14.25 WB.

Converse making a skate version of the pro leather high top.
