are they any good? thinking of getting the busenitz colorway.

SimonP · « **Reply #1 on:** November 25, 2007, 03:34:03 PM »

good shoe, the all suede ones are the only way to go about gazelles.

??? · « **Reply #2 on:** November 25, 2007, 05:52:53 PM »

the non-skate gazelles are not so good for skating. the sole is too slippery.

the busenitz ones look good though.

Bill · « **Reply #3 on:** November 25, 2007, 10:05:04 PM »

Do they have any skate ones in normal colors like navy and black? I love Busenitz, but I don't really want to wear a red shoe.

brooklyn brawler · « **Reply #4 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:47:24 AM »

Yeah, they have blue and black ones.

The skate ones you can wear a little looser than the non-skate ones. Non-skate ones give you the meanest flick.

Word. You know of a link to the skate ones? I searched and could only find the busenitz or royal blue ones.

Dude, it's fucking impossible to get them. There was a topic a while back about them, with some links posted. Same section.

As for Canada, forget about it. I couldn't even get them through the sales rep.

I skate the regular non-skate ones, though. They're cheap, and skate well. Although, I'm not hard on shoes, so that's another thing.

Busenitz only has the red colorway.

SimonP · « **Reply #15 on:** November 28, 2007, 08:53:28 AM »

The sole on these wear down pretty quick, this is probably the only con I know of for the gazelles.

brooklyn brawler · « **Reply #16 on:** November 29, 2007, 01:30:19 AM »

My friend just hooked me up with a pair of one-piece non-skate Gazelles tonight. Now, I owe him beer or something equivalent to that value of awesomeness.

I'm happy.

tysj! · « **Reply #17 on:** November 29, 2007, 01:50:30 AM »

One-piece? Is this like one of those one-piece nike dunk things?

I really wanna get a pair of the skate ones sometime.

brooklyn brawler · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2007, 03:57:56 PM »

One piece just doesn't have that toe cap, so it doesn't break stitching and open a hole.

post a pic, i would like to see them.

tysj! · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2007, 01:16:44 AM »

Sounds interesting? Seems to me like it would resemble og Manchesters or something? I feel like it'd be better off without the weird toe.

art hellman · « **Reply #21 on:** November 30, 2007, 05:03:38 AM »

the busenitz gazelles are rad....really good board feel with good padding...the only thing im not keen on is the tongue, it's a little weird (shiny/stiff)

Lance · « **Reply #22 on:** December 03, 2007, 10:21:03 PM »

Ive been skating the shit out of em for over a week now and they wont blow apart, i tried to stomp a trick tonight and caught the shit stilts and felt like my foot got cut in half, i got a gnarly purple bruise on my arch, im not wanting to get out of bed tomorrow, no support, but again, amazing board feel....dont order those shits of the internet do a shop dearch and order from a legit shop that has an account. Also go a half size up, i wear an 8.5 in almost everything, but the 9 in these is nice and snug

Steezburger413 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 04, 2007, 08:25:20 PM »

I skating a pair of the Busenitz's right now
I am def a fan of this shoe
At first i was a little skepical because im used to skating vulcanized shoes but these broke in super fast and they almost feel like they are vulcanized. THUMBS UP! on these shoes

baxter · « **Reply #24 on:** December 04, 2007, 10:40:37 PM »

I want them more and more.

Alexactly · « **Reply #25 on:** December 04, 2007, 10:56:58 PM »

I have the blue one, they're extremely comfortable and all that, but I'm yet to skate them. They're my first non-vulcanized shoes in about 2 years, so I was worried about the break in at first, but a few days of normal walking has made the sole perfectly flexible.

Universal Remonster · « **Reply #26 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:16:40 PM »

they skate no better than any other shoe, the sole just dies faster

best shoes ive skated in a long time, i rotate between skate gazelles and half cabs.

matt/tx · « **Reply #28 on:** December 05, 2007, 05:53:49 AM »

that sounds like a good combination

I'm like really searching for a nearby shop that has them
But it seems that ni shop has them around here
I also tried to buy it from the adidas site, but they don't ship out to Europe,
And that really sucks, i mean; a Euro company that doesn't ship to Europe, how great is that...
