Apparently my feet decided I can no longer skate the vulc cons. I try to stick to Fastbreaks but they are sometimes hard to find / expensive so I found theses Hopps Pro Leathers for a good deal. Pretty hyped on them (ques up Steve Brandi video parts)

I love pro leathers. I haven’t skated any for years, but this reminds me to do so.
Thank you

You’re very welcome, just ordered another pair this morning.

Are not CONS pro leathers good to skate too?
[close]
Idk only ever had the skate versions. I’d assume they are based of looks.
[close]

Good question.
Dunno.
Haven’t seen too many of the skate versions available.
Are the tts?
I skated the trash talk ones, most recently, so it’s been a minute.
Just trying to look like infms bobby trying to look like mouse guy

Yeah TTS

I skated a normal pair 2 years ago. I'd say they are like a cup-sole nike blazer and maybe a bit more firmer and less board feel. Also I'd say go a half size down too. The shoe held up really well and I had no problems with grip. I will say the shoe would last longer if it had triple stitching but little shoe goo goes a long way.

Those are so good. What dye is that?
[/quote] few different rit dyes. Little ocean blue little midnight blue bottle of dark green some camel and dark brown. Use color fixative so they don’t fade out easily.

Man, some really dope shoes in here! Props on the dye jobs!

Jordan 1 mids from 2016. They feel and look 1000 times better than the ones I got lately. Heaps better quality. The black soles go.

These landed at my parents house yesterday, haven’t had a chance to pick them up as I am currently moving. I’m v hyped to see them in person in a few days.

Converse Pro Leathers are TTS. No need to half up or down if you run a pretty regular fit in most shoes.

Teal adidas grand courts, the soles usually go on these before the upper. Cause I always slide my feet around. Can't argue a deal in these tough times

Enter all raffles known to man! Enter and hopefully get selected.

Can’t win if you don’t enter.  ;D

May be a dumb question but has anyone skated the Puig Primeknits? Got two pairs not even realizing they weren't made for skate haha

May skate them anyway. I guess I'm just wondering how many sessions before they're a dud

Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

I love em.  Very comfortable, roomy toes, great heel lock, grippy.  I think the suede toe cap may rip fast, but I knew that going in, so can't complain about that.  I never skated the Gatos, so I dunno how they compare.

Not gonna say I'm done with shoe madness but I think I'm narrowing it down. Lol.

Top 3:
1. Emerica Dickson
2. NB306 Jamie Foy
3. Vans Kyle Walker Pro (not the velcro ones)
4. Rowans and sk8-hi (honorable mention)

Unapologetic shoes and gear nerd deep into my 3rd era of skateboarding every day.

i have a thing for black-soled half cabs.  these are the closest i could get to the elusive burgundy and black ones I wanted in the early 90s, but i think i underestimated the "bam effect" of trying to skate in purple shoes.  riding a purple graphic board right now, so these got one session before going back to the closet.  will revisit with a different board.

Me too. When those dropped, everyone was like "Oh its a bam shoe!". No way. Pair that with some OD chinos and a white tee, that's 100% 90s fresh. I wish I would have gotten those.

yeah that shade of purple specifically is really sick.








Half-Cab gang. My third pair of the new Skate Half-Cabs in a row. I know some purists have some feelings about the changes but I've been feeling really good in these. The OG color has me feeling like I'm in 2006 and I love it.

Leather adidas City Cups in Black/Clear Sky. Wish they still made these, I wouldn't mind having a pair in suede

Such a good shoe ruined by such a weird toe cap shape

Etnies Windrow Vulc x Sheep. Great board and ankle feel.

God damn those shoes are ripped. Same goes for the ankle. Serious props.
