Posted this in another thread but didn't get many responses. Have been wearing Straye for the past year and honestly they're really killing my feet. I know I deserve it for going with them but anyway was looking to get ES Accel ogs orpossibly the slims. Planning on going down to my local this weekend and trying them both but wanted to know what you thought are better?

IF you plan on getting the accel slims- superglue the seam on the toes right away, this will make the shoe last way longer, also personally for me the sole was way too thin towards the toes. with some footprint gamechangers i realyl enjoyed them though.

I feel like I could have gone down half a size.
Very happy a friend told me about these being on sale so I got them for $75 instead of the retail $150.

Might wanna try the etnies marana. It’s really an underrated cup and outperforms the Accels in terms of durability. Insole is nothing like the great sole tech soles from way back but it’s still a great shoe.

I nearly bought a pair of Maranas when they first came out but opted for something else. The Marana was clearly a really decent shoe and I figured I’d buy some eventually. They’ve stayed in the Etnies catalogue for something like 5 years at this point but I haven’t seen one on a shelf since that day.

Funny you say that. I thought that when I was 10 and had the originals. If I was wise and had patience I would have put them on ice for later when I grew into them. I had the grey colorway with green accents. So dope

Has anyone in the history Kalis 1s laced it not through the loops?

Pulled out my 09' retro AJ1s for the fuck of it. They were just chillers. Been through hell and back. The soles are worn super smooth, so I don't wear them much anymore, but I am today. Way too damn slippery.

So dope, please don't let them die on some closet...

Send em to govrnwear.com to get re-soled with some AJ1 soles, cream em up and enjoy for another 10+ years. They'd probably look cool with that vintage look shattered backboard 3.0 sole too!

Agreed about the 1’s. Leather wipes or mink oil conditioner or something for just some leather maintenance. Can’t let em die.

After three pairs of the Lopez Pros in a row I wanted a change of scenery. They feel pretty similar, albeit a bit more snug and different grip. Excited to try them out.

Look good. The LL Pro's are nice, I like my pair. Posted in sale thread but additional 25% off sale cons. Those checkpoints are $35 shipped with a FSR.

Damn, wish I went there first! Their site is kind of a pain to navigate but I see my same size and color and they're certainly cheaper than I paid.

Globe Sabre that was bought for me from a used skate shoe collector (the shoe were sent brand new for me to wear until they are nicely used)

Started skating a new pair of NB 440's that have been collecting dust in my closet for about a year. They're really comfortable to walk around in; however, I don't know if it's the shape or the roomy toe box or what, but skating them, any time I pivot my foot into position or flick, my little toe gets jammed in to the side of the shoe. Tried tightening the laces, same thing.

I sold my pair (pairs..) of obsidian 1’s when downsizing shit. Thought the cut wasn’t a true OG high almost like a upper-mid and the leather varied a bunch. One of the pairs had way too tumbled ballsack leather. But the color combo is nice and still a solid pair.

I noticed quite a bit of difference between pairs. I lucked out on my pair. The leather is really soft which makes for a very comfortable wear and they crease up elegantly.

I was on a Container ship last month, did my first China Run. We left Honolulu on Christmas, went to Guam, then Okinawa, and two ports in China. I bought these off the Port agent for $25 (actually a carton of Marlboro Reds) and a fake Supreme LV wallet for $5.00

Anyways, the quality is pretty good. I just showed some guys at the skate shop and they thought they were pretty good quality for being fakes. I’m gonna skate them, so I’m using my FP insoles in them.

I've just been rocking my Yeezy 500s as of recent, UltraBoost sometimes as well.

I'm gonna try skating my Jordan 4s once the snow melts, doubtful it'll work out but eh.
