Post the shoes you're wearing.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Picked up a pair of Kalis lites to replace the ones I’m
currently skating
I like this color a lot more than I thought I would.

[fergus]

I'm a creature of habit.

Soo jealous! Want to buy a few pairs of these but I don't think they're coming out in Australia.

[finecojeffe]

Picked up a pair of the POP x Vans Agah's on sale recently after wanting a pair since I last had some brown Agah's back in 94. I'd say they are pretty good reissues, but the padding around the collar is way too thick. Fit is true to size, I just wish they weren't as bulky...I don't recall them being bulky in any way back in the day.

[Richard Skidder]

KALIS Vulc that I use as chillers/occasionally skate.

[daewonbong3000]

Just skated these for the first time today, really into them. Toe looks very Jordan 1 from the top, wasn't expecting that haha

[DarkPools]

^ I'm skating that exact colorway right now and they're phenomenal!

Comfort, flick, looks, and support are all present in these! They did a solid remaster of the KSL 1 in my opinion.

The dunk/Jordan toebox similarity without spending dunk/Jordan $$$ feels good too

[Alexactly]

Popped some dark green laces into my 1010s, feels much nicer to me. This is a top 5 shoe ive ever skated, easily.

I tried to be Reynolds today and put some
Popcush insoles in the ksl, don’t really recommend it, made my foot sit too high in the shoe. My halfcabs are almost fully torched so looks like Ima be skating my ksls here very soon.

[Jebediah]

I keep wanting to get a pair of these but I have a hard time getting past SPANKY on the tongue haha.

Haha, yeah that is pretty bad. Not a fan of the suede maybe its vegan. Flip through it first session everytime… gamma g6 last way longer
Sole is 10/10
Always run them with the extra g6 insole so my knee dont hurt

[theloniousmonk]

I’m also skating those ksl in white. They are on sale right now for really cheap on the emerica site. I’d grab another pair but I have gammas up next to skate

[Jebediah]

I wonder which color way has the best materials. The Emerica site says the white ones are suede/action leather, the black/white with green sole is suede/nubuck and the all black with gumsole is synthetic/vegan. I really like the black/gumsole but didn't realize it doesn't have suede.

Good to hear it has a nice sole, I've been skating Emerica vulcs and I like them aside from collecting rocks in the tread. I've been wanting to skate more cupsoles but it's hard to find ones that fit well.

They've been having some good deals on the site for sure, I ordered a bunch of stuff from them this year. I'm tempted to get the green sole one but I'd have to get another pair for free shipping and I already have summer's shoes squared away.

Skated the black/green too and the suede is just as bad, always end up glueing them after the first session

[dstrytruitt]

First day wearing 1010s. Snug fit, glovelike so far. Ordered regular size. Pretty true fit.
Feel good for sitting in a training session but hoping to get a session tomorrow.

I've skated Gamma G6 a bit and the two non-vegan versions of the KSL G6. All three have good quality suede in my opinion. I flick a lot and kinda hard with the front of my foot. Had none of these stitching/suede issues some have described.

 I'll post photos when I get a chance of my white KSL to show how solid it's been over the last month and a half (not skating every day sadly...) for me.
I'm eager to skate the vegan ones I ordered recently to see how those fare, too.

The white suede and action leather seems to be the most comfortable so far. The black suede and nubuck one is comfortable but the nubuck (as we recall from early 2000s shoes) can be a little weird with how it wears over time. I'm interested to see if the nubuck actually holds up and doesn't do weird cracking/flaking that the material can sometimes do

Thanks for the hookup on these Mitch!
Hyped to skate a pair of these , especially since they’re already broken in!

I feel like my pants aren’t baggy enough for these shoes but damn they look nice. The urge is strong to buy a pair strictly for skating.

I don’t wear super baggies just regular fit, straight cut, whatever it’s called, they look fine. Treat yo self. Got to skate these for a second yesterday, felt really nice.

Just ordered these because they were on sale. Also ordered a pair of the regular Spanky g6. He’s one of my favorites so I’m down to support. How’s the grip on emerica cupsoles? The figgys I had years ago felt very slippery… seems like they use two different tread patterns for their cupsoles.

[DarkPools]

That G6 sole is grippy! I'd say almost as grippy as most vulcs, so solid for a cup. Not slippery at all and that's from skating KSL G6, Wino G6 Slip Cup, and Reynolds G6 (all use that sole).

 There's also not a huge disconnect in boardfeel that a couple others experienced (which I personally don't believe they experienced. They just weren't used to cups at that time, I'm sure)

I dig them, they are a bit more stiff out of the box than all of the other ones I have. The insole/ footbed feels way softer than all the others which is a plus. Don’t know if these are the kind of shoe I’d skate , but they are definitely sick!

They’re a bit narrower than other “OG” DC models, around the forefoot area. I went my normal size and the fit is good just has a bit of a squeeze, but the more you wear/ skate in them don’t really notice as much.

Only skated in mine a few times, but skates similar to og lynx, just with a big rubber patch at the front. They’ll probably last forever lol

Thanks Bruv!
I've really been enjoying revisiting footwear for the era that i had probably the most fun skating in. Which i'd guess is the marketing working..
Its been hard to find footwear that I actually resonate with that also skates good and wont kill my feet. I have so many roots with DC that it just feels right to skate them for a while.
