I had these Hopps Pro Leathers for awhile before skating this this year. Skated them for two months from late March to now. Very good shoes, had some good times in these. The grip's wearing thin as well as the toebox, and I'd like to skate lighter-coloured shoes, so I'm switching to these Blazers I've had on ice.

I like the Blazers, skated a mini in them a few times during the winter, but no street skating. Only thing is that I literally need a shoehorn to put them on. But once they're on, they feel good.

Edit - after I posted this I thought about relacing them to try and make them looser, and it worked, but not by much.

Following up from this - the Blazers sucked. I should've known, I tried skating a pair years ago and couldn't get into them. I thought they would be different this time around, but no dice. Spent 45 min trying kickflips and none of them were clean. Storing them away for now.

Decided to try my Ishods instead:



Enjoying these so far. Flick is more precise than the Blazers, but not as good as the Pro Leathers. They definitely got dirty really quickly but whatevs. They're not pinching my feet, no heel slippage. Only minor gripe is the shoelaces are slippery and can undo themselves, but all in all the Ishods are a good time, stoked on em.




I love how they look and skate but I tore through mine quick as fuck. Not worth a hundred dollars to skate, got a second pair as chillers though

Found these Jack Purcells at a thrift store for 6 bucks.  After scrubbing with hot soapy water they cleaned up well.  They have a suede ollie patch and Zoom insoles but I don’t think they’re a skate model, the Polar ones were similar but all suede I’m pretty sure.


Sick! Love the Jp’s!  Are the bottoms treaded or are they the little slits ?

Remind me what the sizing is on these compared to other cons models (fastbreaks or CTAS pro).
I've had a pair in the past and loved them but can't remember how the sizing works, and since converse is all over the place with that it's so hard to buy these online without getting the wrong size

Ironically, these two models are both TTS for most.


JP Pros are 0.5 size small, like CTAS Pro. Some say TTS, but I disagree.

Def Go TTS on fastbreaks. I go TTS on all converse vulcs because that stock insole is ass and I upgrade to a thicker one (which I highly recommend).

How they fit? Vm001 canvas lows in 9 were perfect for me, highs were too snug.

I just half size down. 9.5 has worked for me in all lrabs. I'd say take the 9 if you get them.

Those vm003's look sick @frontsideslappy

I went back to the suede cons and am enjoying them way more than the first time I tried em years back. I think the key was to go a full size down from what I wear in vans... flick feeling wonderful

Appreciate it! They're Levi's 469s, pretty much feel like big boy shorts but for half the cost.

Really nice chillers. Was on the fence but saw them  at the local shop and had to cop.


Don’t worry , I laced them up further. I just kinda chucked them on fresh out the box.

How big is the tongue? I saw one angle recently and it looked almost dunk level puffy. Never been interested in them until seeing your picture right now

Damn. They look sick. Sizing true? I was a fan of ‘g Nikes’ (Cortez), and the Reebok equivalent

They run a little snug. But it’s fine imo.

From your pic, they look a bit tall/narrow in the heel area. I always had issues with rolling my ankles in the OG Cortez and Adidas Country (both only used as chillers).

I know you're planning using these as chillers, but in your opinion, Velcro Wallet, would that be the case with these if one were to skate them?

Found a pair of the Carhartt x cons on my trip to LA
And got some Lukodas second hand. Pretty hyped on both of them.

Agree. Would skate both. The fastbreaks look like a good dunk solution
