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

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.

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.

Used to think the original was so dope until I learned it was a pretty straight rip off of a Nike Garnett shoe

I really like how the toe flicks and the soles are supportive without feeling like you're walking on marshmallows. Not insanely durable but after a little super glue on the stitching they are holding up well.

These fit my foot a lot nicer than the few pairs of half cabs I've mostly been skating the past year. I have a tall foot and usually have trouble finding shoes that I can tie as snug as I like them without hurting.

Overall would buy again and I got these really cheap online so not much risk trying them out.

Got Tyshawns from the sale thread and went up half a size based on people’s recommendations to size up. I have too much heel slip unless I get longer laces and use the top eyelet. They were really tight when I first put them on but they expanded within a day. The width is perfect everywhere except the heel and there’s a bit extra toe room. I’m probably just going to use these for chillers and get the Spitfire pair TTS. If they’re too small, I’ll just use Stance socks. I rather be a bit cramped then have heel slip.

Tyshawns are true to size.
