Nike Wair Max perfect for me
NB440v1 awesome
NB808 good but extra stiff at first.
Only thing is with the NB’s I had to order half size larger.
The Nike Wair Max were TTS best fitting shoe I’ve had in a while.

The Nike SB Leo React shoe is in my top three of skate shoes (been skating for 35 years) the board feel, durability and comfort has had me buy over four pairs

I've been skating Crockett Highs and Lows. The wafflecup/popcush combination has been kind to my feet

+1 for Vans Crockett High/low. Wafflecup is perfect for me. Cushion in the heel + decent board feel.

Nike Dunk SB Low, specifically the white/black/gum...

I skated a lot of Dunk SB highs/lows and Jordan 1s in 2024, but these are my favorite, especially after a couple sessions when they completely break in.
I have a wide foot, so I use shoe stretchers for a couple hours to relax the leather... the great thing with dunks/jordans is the outsole will grow to your foot width.

NB# 480 outsole does not, and I would have buckled my ankle instantly if skated  :-\ the 1010s toecap is too tight on my big toe :o and I am not a fan of the 440 (wide) fit... sucks because I really wanted to give NB# some monies this year...

aren't the dunks way narrower than new balance?

I want to say new balance. Because as a company I like them the most.  But I’m really enjoying the Rowan 2s.

Not at all. Haven't tried the numeric 480, but dunks toecap is taller and as wide as the 1010, and definitely wider than the 440.

I use a shoe stretcher and the dunks are fine.
It's the narrow outsole of the NB# 480 and a shallow height toecap of the 1010 that I can't deal with

didn’t have the shoe.

but my favorite as far as looks would be the ishod 2 or whatever it’s called.
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Adidas Busenitz are a bit narrow but are true to size. I've owned 5 pairs and wore the stitches off them.

I've had over ten pairs of Crockett lows and loved all of them, one of my favourite shoes of the last decade, but the only pair of high ones I had wasn't all that. Not terrible but nowhere near as good as the low ones. Huge disappointment.

Who’s they give the all black fast break to? Sage? I didn’t get a pain but I know I’d love it. I like to skate regs fb pros with the laces wide open so it feels kinda like timbs but with a nice sole.

I miss that shit.

Been on a Reebok club c mid kick lately, don’t see me going back to anything core for a moment

Could you give more opinions about them? Have you skated different types? Like theres the 85, the Revenge, the Vintage. I just got the 85 suede unisex lows. Im now walking them a while before skating them but they look and feel like they were designed specifically for skate, just like Puma suedes or superstars. Too bad reebok doesnt have a skate branch (at least I dont know), cuz they have great looking models, the npc2, the exofit, etc

NB 440v2. After 10+ years on vulcs, it took a while to get used to cupsoles again, but definitely worth it!

NB 480 highs in the white leather worked great for me. skated 2-3 pairs and kept another one for after the winter.
Dunks- high an low as usual work good for me, really looking forward to skate the PS8.
NB 1010s with the reworked fit- castlerock colorway- shoes fit me great now......so little time to skate, so many shoes to go through  :o

This one for me too.  Best Nike shoe in my opinion.

Adidas Busenitz the first model with the big tounge, I'm a big dude 6'2" every pair has been consistent no matter the color way nice snug and pliable after being broken in, I have been stockpiling any color I can.

The only shoes I skated 2024 were es accel and the Creager. I like how the creager skates but it gives my big toe harsh calluses on both feet and I had to take the insoles out so they fit better. That being said my favorite in 2024 was the eS Creager.

I love how the Nike Blazers High feel. And how they look. I think I bought 6 pairs total over the last 10 years or so. Currently skating the Mason Silvas. they also last a long-ass time.
