This might almost seem like a very common / repeat occurrence, but from seeing a couple of people with the black / white basics with black laces, it brought out a new wave of madness, so I changed over some other shoes to now have black laces too.

Couldn't help myself, you could say.




I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I love new authentics with fresh white laces, but once they start to get grungy I love swapping to black. Black laces with the white accents and eyelets is just *chefs kiss*

These make Dunks feel like Last Resorts but I’m rolling with them.  First time skating a pair…

Glad you copped! They are way more comfortable than most. I definitely LOL’d at the comparison.

I've skated more shell toes than any other shoe. Best shoe to flick with once you get used to it.

I skated in my pretty beat old t-19 dunk hi's the other day and had a similar thought. They feel all floppy and thin compared to my Tiagos. Grateful for the Tiago's because my body is so broken.

Uncomfortable asf. Hoping a few wears of a few hours at a time break these in.

These are actually the non-skate ones, with the only real difference I can discern being the puffy tongue. I have/had a pair of the vulc Tyshawn ones a few years back, skated good and actually preferred the thin tongue on them. But the price difference just isn't worth the thin tongue justification for me, I can get original pro models for like $20 on eBay all day.

And yeah, brown cords have never gone out of the rotation during my tenure on Slap, just classic.

Grabbed a pair of 990v3s, these are by far the lightest and comfiest shoes I've ever owned.

Love the colorways they've been putting out on them too! Teddy Santis is doing everything right with the made in USA line.

Made in USA been amazing since day 1, NB just never had the visibility it has these days. I started wearing made in USA NBs just over a decade ago. Best casual shoes ever.

you're also comparing a dunk that came out almost 20 years ago, to a much newer released shoe. I skated my T-19s a couple of years ago, and minus the slight sole separation due to its age (easily fixed with lots of shoe goo/super glue)  they skated fine for me. It's such an underrated dunk colorway.

I skated a non skate line pair of pro models recently just like the one you're wearing and was loving it until the outsoles slowly started legit chipping away chunk by chunk, it was a pretty old pair but didn't think it would deteriorate that badly from low impact skating. Had to toss em as it was just asking to get an injury.

The Navarez pair is now on my list, need another good hightop adidas cupsole in my rotation!

V3 Def my fav.. I have some made in USA that I bought 6 years ago and if they weren't dirty from trail hikes they'd be good as new. Best shoes ever.

Uncomfortable asf. Hoping a few wears of a few hours at a time break these in.


If you try your old insole in them, it might help a bit.

I have often done that, even other brand insole, just to help get your foot used to new shoes, but the Skate range are a lot stiffer and take a bit more time to wear in.

Also I found although that particular shoe fits me well, some of the other styles don't fit at all, so between different people, some shoes will fit better than others.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Good idea, gonna try to swap out the insole for a thinner one so I don’t get pinch where my big toe bends.

Cosign on the 93's, I have a pair and I like them a lot. Comfortable waist and thigh and then a taper to the ankle. Good skate jeans

Thanks! I would've guessed 92's, they seem more tapered than the 93's I had.

I have this same fucking problem on the sk8 hi's I bought recently. This is my first pair of vans since they revamped the line. Never had this issue with Vans in the past.

I'll give the insoles a try. I do love the pro cush insoles

Thanks! I would've guessed 92's, they seem more tapered than the 93's I had.
it may just be the camera angle and how i was sitting whenever i took that picture. I haven't tried on the 92's but I don't think I would want any more taper. I also enjoy the fit of the Theories Plaza jeans if you've seen those. Pretty similar to Polar 93's but cheaper! Quality is nice imo but obviously not as nice as the Polar made in Poland stuff.

Lovely shape and colour way. I bought the 990v6's and they are mega comfy, my first ever pair of NB's.

Gotta treat some injuries so no skating for 30 days to start and no skate shoes either. Get ready for the month long posts of non skate shoes. Gonna be doing airmax and NB runners heavy this next month.

It’s called the Nike airmax system. Budget level airmax that’s actually comfortable.
