Growing up in DC, I would see kids at this skill level or lower skating in their Jordans all the time.
You write that, as if skating is all about abilities and progression n shit.
I believe a lot of people just skate for fun.
No, you completely missed my point.
I wrote that to contradict what OP was saying, and a lot of people on here are saying, that skating in Jordans is nothing new and I've seen people of all skill level (beginner to sponsored) skating in a bunch of random Jordan models for decades now.
I've also been wearing/collecting Jordans and sneakers since I was a kid and believe people should skate in whatever they like, really don't understand why everyone is so triggered by this collab and marketing for it, this is nothing new and not something to be getting upset over... its just one ad out of 100s they've already done with their male and female pros.
I didn't mind the ad. I like Froskate, and the dunks they did last year are one my favorite shoes to skate in, I like to support all groups in skating, like someone said below- from April to Frog, there's rad stuff and people in all skate scenes.
