How you liking those Currys Tate?

Best ball shoes I have had in a while. Can't wait for the low's to drop.

I switch off between Lillard 1 and Kobe X, but I prefer the Curry One.

Played 9 games full-court from 10pm to 3am at the gym and my feet didn't hurt once.

I don't understand how people say the duracap holds up well.  I went from brand new to all the way through sock in under 10hrs with the chima's, which really bummed me out because I loved the look of the shoe.  I mean I didn't expect the canvas to last too long but I was under the impression with the duracap it would last at least a couple weeks, definitely longer than a session.

the duracap lasted me quite a bit and this is from a chronic kickflipper.  I had the tip reveal the duracap but never ripped through. i had the all whites.
[close]

That's so crazy to me.  I had the first pair that came out ( maybe they were just a bad pair ? ) and with very few flip tricks I went through them in a day.

It's been a while, but from what I remember the duracap was showing within the first 1-2 hrs
[close]

my duracap started to show but the shoe still held up well.   skated em for a while to the point i got tired of looking at them.
I'm currently skating a pair of the chima shoes and the duracap is still holding up. The canvas blew through during the first sesh but still holding up pretty good.

I'm not sure what reaction you want?

Sympathy? Surprise? Or just some kind of smug shit like this?

Has anybody had the Huf Sutter and can shed some light on its worth? Suede pair...

Keep in mind I enjoy skating in Vans classics, the Habitat Garcia, and the Adidas Adi Ease.

Haha!  Well it was just a reference to the convo I was having above the pic I posted, so I really wasn't looking for any reaction other than giving my experience ... That said this is slap and I fully expected some kind of smug shit like this haha

Shameless self promotion I suppose but here you go... http://www.rippedlaces.com/2014/11/huf-footwear-sutter-review/

If you cant be arsed reading that. I like Vans and Austyn's Habitat shoe so you'll probably like the Sutter.

Check amazon, pretty good deals on sutters last I checked. They don't last long, so don't pay too much for them.

Found some Cons Weapon Skate online for $37 so I thought I'd give them a try. They're snug and fit tight like my Emerica Reynolds and feel a little more cushioned than the Lakai's I was just using.

really? My weapons fit super loose, even after going a half size down, yet going a full size down made the shoes way too small. I'm bummed because they're really sick and comfy.

Those Cons Weapons are absolutely nothing like the shoes I'd usually skate. But saw an all black pair and was so tempted by them...

Might because I was half way through a trip to Barca and I'd been skating thin vulcs everyday and was feeling it though...

Yeah, I was honestly quite surprised as well because they seem, and look, like a bigger shoe. Perhaps when I wear them for a few more days they'll feel a little more not-so-snug.

I'm size 12 and these are a size 12. They were listed on the website as an 86' Weapons Skate. Perhaps it maybe a different model than normal? IDK much about shoes.

Just retired these today, had them for a month. Longest shoe I had in a while, that I kept on purpose.

Thank you 533 for serving me right, on to the next pair. Need another 533 soon.

Those are sick. One of the best color ways, wish more shoes came in that brown with gum sole.

Heritage and Tate were not wrong.  Such an awesome shoe.  Picked up a pair on father's day and wore em out of the shop and immediately skated in em.  Took about 15 minutes to get used to the extra bit of padding in the forefoot compared to the thin Adidas Lucas...but other than that, there really wasnt much break-in time required.  Fit true to size.  Great heel lock.  We'll see how they hold up, but started off about as good as any shoe can.

**NB Stratford 533**

RIGHT ON! Described perfectly. Pretty hyped to hear you are hyped on 'em! You're really going to like the durability and how long the shoe holds up, not just the materials but shape and fit.

Ended up skating these, and throwing away the white laces. I don't mess with white laces on skate shoes.

Just gonna skate these until I get some new NB# 533's in a week or so.

Had to lace them up to the top, which I usually don't do. Since I got some heel slip.

They do look good with black laces!

Other than black/white shoe. A off-white/cream colored shoe is good colorway.

the buz pro is the most reliable go-to skate shoe.  i hype the OG lucas a lot, but I've skated more pairs of buz pro than any other shoe since they came out.  plus all profits go to organic granola for the lil boozers.

Are they true to size? I saw some in that off white/gum colorway for half price and i'm considering them...
