Skated many of the OG ones, this is my first pair of the ADVs
I like the tongue straps but I wish they kept the tongue padding like the classics.
I’m sure they’ll skate just like the OGs tho

Whenever I see those I say to myself, "Elissa Steamer's a superstar."

Had them on the classic black/white cw, I remember enjoying them a lot.

Me too, I didn't appreciate them back then though.  Just missed out on a pair of the brown/white which I'm super bummed on.  Have one more pair coming but then I can't find anymore in my size.  Surprised I found a few tbh
What size are you? I have a pair around somewhere in the brown

Finally popped on these after looking at them for a good while, sale price didn't hurt either.

Here you go ... shoes that were referenced in the above post.  Only trick I had got while the camera was up that day as I was trying to learn flips out for a while...

I couldn’t figure out how to word this last night but I didn’t mean to be bitchy and ask for evidence of others actually skateboarding haha.

More like, pictures of their shoes as they are worn down.

Regardless, I’m hyped on your clip. Thank you for sharing.

Haha, I didn't take it as bitchy, more of it would be cool to see them in action, which I obviously took as literal as you could  8) .  It was a good practice in me creating an animated gif quick to share anyway, which I now may do more often as it only took a couple minutes.

  • I took my video (iphone edited down to just the part I wanted)
  • Sent it from my phone to my computer (you may be able to do this all on your phone, I didn't try)
  • I uploaded my vid to this option from Adobe, but there are others as well ... https://new.express.adobe.com/tools/convert-to-gif
  • Download created gif
  • I then uploaded gif to imgur, but you could use any image hosting service
  • Grabbed the link for forums
  • Posted link here

This almost took me longer to write than it did to create the gif.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions

kinda hated my Franky Villanis. I had an UMA board that was slightly flat and I was convinced that I just didn’t like the board until my friend passed some Chuck Taylor’s my way. These shoes have been like cheat codes for me. They’re size 8.5 which I would never consider buying for myself as I have been wearing size 10 but after cramming my feet into these, I bought myself a pair in size 9.

I feel like I can actually skateboard again. I sized up years ago when I got deeply into distance running and my toe nails began falling off from running in too small of shoes. I’m gonna move back to size 9.5 though. I like for shoes to be a bit painful when I first buy them and to remain fairly snug throughout their duration of use.

The only thing I’m worrying about now is that the 8.5’s my friend gave me were the suede toes and the size 9’s are rubber toed and I’m just hoping that these won’t hurt my feet too badly as they are still a bit small on me.

Crazy that a shoe designed near the turn of the last century could still be so popular and beloved. Chuck Hi's were my very first skate shoes as a wee lad

Generally not a fan of half-cab collabs, but these actually look pretty good and I fucks with Humidity.

I will say they don’t really breath because of the gortex, pig suede, and ripstop, and like I said I usually only bring them out when it rains, but yea they are pretty comfy, def feel more lux compared to the normal half cab, it has a bootie like liner which adds to the waterproof aspect of it, I would say they prolly wouldn’t be good for someone on their feet all day, pretty heavy and the sole is lugged, definitely add a lil height as well

Thanks for the well wishes boys <3 Thankfully they're just minor fractures so hopefully I be back in the game within six weeks, maybe a lil bit longer.

@smellsdead you know we gotta keep it dripped out
