Doing a shoe purge tryna get rid of all my old skate shoes sitting around. First up are these Supra ellingtons I got on sale like 3 years ago. Skated them once or twice and had them tucked away since.
Aside from the choice of materials on this particular colorway, these are actually a pretty well constructed shoe. Padding around the collar is plush & supportive, the first thing I noticed going from my accel Mids which have a lot less padding in that area. The ellingtons are even lower cut, but more supportive. The thin foam midsole is a perfect compliment to my FP custom Orthotics too. All in all I forgot how dope these were and would recommend them. You can find these for dumb cheap on random online outlet stores.
However the TUF/canvas combo is trash. The TUF toecap seems super durable and has a decent flick but canvas sidewall is as weak as you'd expect it to be. Im not even mad at it cuz I need to run thru these anyway but Here's what they look like only an hour after the first pic was taken. Even ripped the laces at the top
