Fuck yea man, those are dope shoes! I can agree that those are very durable, I skated my pair like an month and no significant signs of wear are visible and I usually wear out on toe quite fast,like I burned thru toecap faster on Seslas than these. Also I really liked that sole, those elliptic grooves made it easy to break in and grip was on point. My pair still have plenty of life left on ’em, just needed some higher shoe for wintertime so I let my swifts wait till next summer to finish ’em... Have a good sessions on them!
e. Now that I noticed, we don’t just share same taste on shoes but pants too, I’m wearing very similar pair of cords atm😄
yeah, the grooves make it super easy to break in and the grip is on point! I'll also probably retire them for the colder months too and go back to my Ryan Lays but I was itching to try them and I'm glad I did!
hahaha we are 100% slap brothers from different mothers. If there was ever a slap global meet up, you would be the first dude I'd try and find and I reckon I could do it without any help. We pretty much have the exact same taste in gear!
I skated mine for about 3 or 4 months I'd say, and that's a lot since I either blow through them quicker or just get tired of looking at them after 2 months.
They definitely had another 3 months in them I bet with the way they were wearing.
Post some updates once that 'everstitch' gets some love!
will do mate! As I said, I don't murder shoes so it might take me a while...
Don't get me wrong, I liked the Swift. I just felt that the spray on rubber toe cap was so thin that is was essentially pointless. I'm sure it's necessary on the everstitch though. I wore through the rubber on the toe in one spot in the first half hour I skated them, and I'm not hard on shoes either. The Sal 97 has a much more durable toe cap.
if they made Sal 97 in everstitch then I don't think I've ever skate any other shoe ever again!
im really digging how these look
they are great, not in their current lineup but you should still be able to find them online. I've heard that the OG ones pictured here are better quality than the 1.5's that are basically a muska/ creager mash up shoe? Who knows, if you can find a pair though defs give them a go!
