some of the comments in here are so ignorant, especially Henry Sanchez;

had no idea how much of a closet conservative this dude is.. i thought being from the bay and being latin he'd have a big more sense but i guess not.

Lol what a weird thing to say.

[close]

What’s he saying? I don’t have IG account and it won’t let me read comments

   "cancel cancel culture, political correctness, and keep the standards for men and women logical"

That's what he wrote unless I missed something, 

 but I guess according to some thats ignorant and obviously Henry should know better because of his ethnic background and geographical location.   Ok

What does "keep the standards for men and women logical" even mean?

Because there is only one truth, but many paths.
Support the I.

i love how they arent even wearing the shoes in the skate clips (or any shoes at all in the main clip for that matter...)
they are clearly skating adidas in most of the clips

has anybody here put in some serious skate time with the leather grasshoppers? i'm super happy with the cats and i want to buy one more pair of ipaths when i get paid. i'm keeping the cats for casual wear but i'd like to skate the grasshoppers, how well do they last? they're super expensive for my standard (i buy skate shoes used usually, i could get 4 pairs for the price of one grasshopper) so if they last like usual then i'll just keep them for everyday wear.

you can always wait a few weeks/months for a discount. So many shops have ipath just sitting. I’m waiting for another pair of cats and some hoppers to hit the 20-30% off rack  it’s been a great relaunch imo

I think if you buy them off the Ipath website you can set up a payment plan for like $25-30/month.

i’m in europe but i wouldn’t wanna do that, no way they last me 4 months

[Mongo Lloyd]

They won’t last anyone nearly 4 months.

The most durable are the suedes. I found the leather hoppers tearing faster than anticipated, but I love how they skate.

I had to shoegoo my toe rather quickly.

[rawbertson.]

lol i dont think i skate any shoe for 4 months these days... and i hardly even pop the tail 
I need my shoes to feel really good now though. i have done too much damage to my feet over the years of trying to stretch out shitty shoes.

Not sure if you’ve messed around with it but super glue your stitches, I swear by it, as soon as I get a pair of shoes I’ll get some super glue and go over the toe area and along the seam, I haven’t used shoe goo in years, but I’ve had Reebok club C’s last me for months with super glue and those aren’t the most durable footwear

[turdtastic]

Sooooo, uuuhhhhh, when are we gonna see Reed lows and some other 1985 colorways??

was it just the stitching or did you tear a hole in the leather? if it's the leather then i think i'm gonna pass on them...

[Texas_Tone]

Damn good run kickfliping these puppies everyday, gonna hit it with the shoe goo tonight. The suede is super thick seeing it all unravel

The usual vertical tear straight through the leather layer at the peak of the toe curve. I haven’t skated them since shoe goo’ing, since I rotate my shoes according to outfit.

@Texas_Tone good call on the glue. That’s something I should explore on future shoes.

[Rick Trapasso]

Had a dream I bought a pair of grasshoppers last night.

Haven't even really been considering them too much.

Or have I?

[Mongo Lloyd]

You have, and you will buy you some and love them!

I thought I'd follow on with this that I used to skate with a guy who'd always alternate between several board shapes and shoes, usually complaining such and such shoe would blow straight away and how he was skint. I told him to do this, since I've done it for years and he'd go 'yeah, but it looks shit'. Which it doesn't if you do it right and just do a wee bit along the stitches and any seams that might be suspect.

A tiny dab over the edge of laces as well to stop shit exploding as well. After all it doesn't matter what it really looks like when shit's all skated in.

On topic of iPath, well I can see they got Euro seller. I'll wait until I'm skating a bit more + they got the hemp Cats in to give them a go.

[Mongo Lloyd]

To get a better idea when speaking about wear on shoes. This is 40 minutes of DC Mantecas out of the box.

I do a lot of flip tricks. Your miles may very.

The grasshoppers did not look like this after 40 minutes.

I have no idea what theae new paths skate like or how they hold up, i do, however, recall my hemp cats  in 02/03 ripping through the hemp fairly quickly but the under layer holding up quite well

Life is short, buy the shoes. You'll love having iPath back in your life.

I'm also an advocate of applying superglue onto the stitching in the high abrasion areas of skate shoes. If you're worried that it'll look weird (and/or people will say things like "DID YOU JIZZ ON YOUR SHOES?!?!?"), just go over the dried super glue with a sharpie (match it to the color of your shoes) before wearing them around others.

[j....soy.....]

I super glued my ipaths and when questioned about the jizz I shurgged my shoulders and replied : 'giving thanks'....

[Mongo Lloyd]

I’m fairly certain there are fetishists somewhere in Germany using this discussion as smut.
