IPATH Containment Thread

[Too Frank To Fred]

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

please let me know if you find them. my wife has been pushing me to sell old skate shoes to these types for years, for both the obvious reasons.

[sadnocomply]

Jizz on your ipaths = more sustainable materials

[roba]

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.

cool, i flick in the same spot. i think i’m gonna bite the bullet and just superglue the shit out of them.

Also skated a pair of mantecas. I can confirm they are pure shit when it comes to durability.

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

[Eddy Mitchel]

I had them a size over mine just to get them in 2000.From what I remember the outsole ran fast.But they look great for sure.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Heck yes!

Anyone having issues keeping grasshoppers tied? I feel like these laces suck

[gig.]

No issues with the laces themselves. Actually pretty nuts been skating them like 3 months and they haven’t ripped. But, I wish the laces were oval and there was one more set of lace holes at the top. Probably would help lock them down better.

I bought Grasshoppers and finally pulled them out of the box to skate. Here's my thoughts:

• I think I need to wear baggier pants to rock them
• Am I gangster enough to keep them Unstrapped?
• Definitely not, but Strapping the laces underneath keeps them tied
• These are bulkier then I remember
• I can't nollie flip in these. Do I like high tops?
• Great nostalgia from skating these in the late 90s. Time to get a pair of cats for casual

I took the oval laces from my Reed Mids and put them in my Grasshoppers. They made the shoe look better (to my eye at least), and they seem to stay tightened better than the stock flat laces.

I also put some Rasta Flag laces on my Reed Mids. Those shoes are a literal walking drug test now.

Oh shit this is my 138th post. Danzig is gonna sue me now.

[sadnocomply]

TTS on the grasshoppers? I’m a 9 in cats but I heard the hoppers have way more toe room

[JM]

Finally tried on grasshoppers.

<3 for sure my next pair. Damn they feel good. 

Got them on the Christmas wishlist.

Real skaters don’t care about sweaty feet.

Less ventilation, or more insulation? It is (finally) getting colder where I live, and I was pleasantly surprised at how warm my Grasshoppers kept my feet the other day.

<3

I hope they make these for a long time. They’re really comfy.



*must wait till Christmas.

[Allen.]

Holy shit. I have really fond memories of reed lows. Learned a lot of tricks in those. Wish I still had any of em.

To each his own. I’ve enjoyed my mantecas and have not had that breaking at the big toe issue

[Scarecrow Radio]

I Path seems to be flowing shoes to Zach Allen now

[marcusbutler]

I can fuck with the reed lows. Looking nice.

[Texas_Tone]

Copped the all black crickets, looking forward to gettin irie again

[skateboarder4life]

[Mongo Lloyd]

Grasshoppers.

[Bingyflip]

Knew what was going to happen as soon as I opened this thread..

[Slugboi22]

what’s the sizing on grasshoppers and crickets?? TTS or half size down? i’m a 10.5 in blazers and NB 440s :-)

Grasshopper feels perfect on my foot, just like every other shoe I’ve ever worn.

I don’t get the TTS talk. The length should be the same across brands, only the width is an issue depending on the brand.

That being said, the Grasshopper is good for my wide ass bunion feet. They actually feel really good and comfy (although very roomy inside, which I like generally… we’ll see how that works out for skating…)

[skateboarder4life]

are the ipath cats back for good or is this a limited time thing?
