Etnies snake
Initial thoughts:
A snug TTS. You could go .5 size up if you like a little more room or want to upgrade to a much thicker insole.
The insole is STI but is the really thin one.
Grip is great, flick is great.
Nice rounded toe box with a little bit of padding not overkill by any means.
This particular kind of shoe silhouette is my personal favorite.

Would it be possible to paint the white stitches black? Would like to try this shoe, seems like a simple cupsole.
I don’t see why not.

Its super easy, just take a black permanent marker and go over the lines with it. I did that to my half cabs and unless you held the shoe up to your face you wouldnt be able to tell

Those snakes looking pertty gooood, would try them in white for blatant nostalgia, as I haven't owned a pair of Etnies, may have been Czars, since a hand-me-down pair I got from Pat Moore when I was in maybe 6th or 7th grade (Pat was the best, so it was kind of a big deal for 12 year old me) and they were probably 3 sizes too big. But thanks to the elastic tongue centering straps, it didn't stop me from putting a circular metal rail between the wooden slats on my porch and doing ride on grinds for hours.

Been trying to get a pair of these for a while now, finally scored 'em, albeit at a price-point slightly beyond what I would have liked. I actually really like the fit on these, a real proper snug mid-top.

They 100% do, but in an roundabout way I like it. I'm not going to lie, I hated these when they came out but they grew on me, like some kind of fungus in my brain. I originally had been trying to get a pair of the Diego Nejara ones (white/blue) but the deal fell through and as previously mentioned, I'm deep into an white shoe phase and couldn't do the black patent leather on the Heitor's. Let's just say it wouldn't be my 1st questionable fashion decision, I've been quite prone to them throughout my years on this thing we call Earth.

Picked up some Savalé Wallace on super sale ... got them for $50 shipped and wanted to try some to get my feet wet before dropping the $$$ on the pairs I want that may not make it to the sale section before selling out in my size.  Figured I'd kill my iPath Cats nostalgia vibe at the same time haha.  I have not had a nicer quality shoe ever (that wasn't a dress shoe for my wedding)  Nice to give Alphonzo Rawls some money too.

got myself two pairs of those since i could do a size 7 and 7.5 in these and i got one of em for retail wich was 100€ and the second one for 70€ on a black friday sale.

they are extremely good shoes, great flick and hella durable for me.

but yeah, some 80s gym shoe color palette on these....still fucking with it ;D

do you plan on skating yours?

I plan on skating every shoe I own, but as consumerist as it sounds, wouldn't mind having another pair as chillers. My pipe-dream is to do a part with different shoes in each clip, which may be ABD (Connor Kammerer in Tengu), but I still want to do it. I'm hoping this is the year I can start filming for it, we'll see.

I loved skating in that shoe, its fun seeing the blue and yellow slowly reveal after each session. Lasted a decent bit too.



Skated them a few times in the meantime. Really nice to see how the colors underneath slowly appear. I "slightly" twisted my knee again today, feeling kinda down at the moment. Send some healing power  :-\

Trying the Leo shoe for the first time. Love the BA vibe of the cw. They're pretty comfy but sure they need a little action to be on that sweet point.

I am not a fan of remixed Jordan’s or Spikes much at all but I couldn’t resist these. They would skate quite well I’d say. The J1 toe box helps and the shoe isn’t as chunky as it looks. Got them for hella cheap too.

They look sick !!! How do they fit compared to Nike ? I can’t find them around myself  Are they really soft or do they provide a bit of support ? I find my puig indoor a bit too soft

I think they are way more comfy than i expected, obviously its a thin vulc shoe so i dont have high hopes in terms of support.
They are tts compared to Nike but my Blazers fit more snug tbh.
I will skate them tomorrow, will report back

Hey yah. Andrew 700k the Hoss Rayn(A)lds out frum (skate) Stankonia to lay it on you bae.

Fits true to size (Nike sizing) I wear 8.5 in these and a 9 in 808s. 8.5 in most shit but vans.

Definitely

The insole holes frighten me. I feel like I'm gonna have dreams about holes in my feet because these ones are contagious.

There might be wasps in there
