Shorts with high top shoes?

[Easy Slider]

I was going to say neither looks good but now I want to dress like Natas.

[munchbox]

the higher the socks
the downer the foo

[eSK3]

 Lucian in short shorts and supra high tops comes to mind when thinking about this kit. Shits gross when you have mad skinny legs with high tops and shorts. Also Camo shorts or basketball shorts only. Just below the knee. Short shorts are no go as well as Sammy Baca length. Proportion awareness is key gentlemen.

[Mean salto]

Gonna disagree a little bit. Below the knees is some Dwayne fagundes bullshit. Shorts just touching your knees is the way. Camo only if you served. jorts never.

[Paco Supreme]

Very Terp, very Raney.

Bonus points for shitty tattoos or pale ass legs

[Hyliannightmare]

If you're tall and got long legs its sick

This.  Lucky fucks

[Mantracker]

It works with chucks more than any other shoe

Bobby D comes to mind

also Ishod in blazers

[cky enthusiast]

shorts and high tops or shorts and vans slips/classics/chucks is fucking sick gnar and hellride.

instantly adds 20 degrees to shifties.

if you feel insecure get leg tattoos, that’s what i did

personally think its RAW

Am i out of the loop? What does this even mean?

in this use id say its similar to ; hardcore, serious, up-front

[Stuhfy]

Another take I guess I have on this.... I still stand by it being a killer look, but if lets say (vans hi's) are laced up the entire way id say it would usually look worse than if you took out a few crosses of laces and had them kinda longer and flowy.... adds some like extra detail to a photo, looks so good!

At 30 years old, I think I'm done growing. My issue is that I'm super skinny and my legs are super pale. Unlike those natas pics someone posted earlier, with those strong, tan calves. I just can't compete with that. owell, still gonna rock it.

The real issue is the lack of good looking high top selections...a 1010 high would fly.

[TheLowerBack]

From what I'm reading is acceptable, I think I get the pass.
I'm tall, legs are covered in tattoos, cut off Dickies rolled just above the knee, and my socks are the same height as my shoes.

10/10 would buy! pun intended

[Frank and Fred]

The answer is, Matt Hensley, Chukkas and mid calf white sox.

[Mean salto]

Some great shorts and hightops combos (and a few less good) it's 91 so bad socks get a pass.

sheffey proving me wrong and just past the knee can work

Matching socks to cast. +1


don't forget mids:

[Sedition]

Riding transition with pads, it works great, IMHO. Otherwise, depends on lots of variables already mentioned. Can be turboclown, can be great.

[Snappyfingers]

[munchbox]

so yeah
it looked good in the 90s

Crazy seeing this thread, I was just debating if I can wear my Blazer mids with shorts. I'm 6'7", so I think I can pull it off.

[IpathCats]

Yesterday was the first day in the mid 80s at the park. I was in shorts, with high tops, shirtless, i definitely looked like an idiot, but boy did it feel nice, and i got some much needed sun on my pasty ass skin.

There were probably NBA players in the late 70s/early 80s your height that ran shorts with blazers

[doomstation55]

In high school I filmed a trick at a super hot/humid ditch spot in supra skytops and basketball shorts. I looked like a fuckin idiot. But I also had a bunch of tricks in all over print tees so what the fuck did I know.

So can every fit, especially when it's clear you are trying to be fashionable when skating....such as people who commonly use drip.

Like pants too big or too tight. If you have to adjust your pants before a trick, something isn't right; you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Shorts are great, lots of shinners.
Low tops are great, lots of ankle/snake bites.

To each their own tho, I wear skate clothes that are comfy, not restrictive with no fucks given to style because they're going to get wrecked. Off the board is a totally different story.

[Mean salto]

Lookin good in 89. Unfortunately in 89 I was prob wearing horrible sweatpants like Mike v and still would of had a gnarly mullet. (I would of been a very small child tho)

[dofrenzy]

I am all about function over fashion, but my look is def evolving:

2020: knee-high compression socks, hard pads



2021: ankle-high socks, knee-compression sleeve
