They all only had colorways

Also not saying she deserves one but i’m surprised Leticia Bufoni only got a zoom Verona slip on colorway despite her popularity

Ben Gore and Kevin Coakley should have had pro shoes on State.
I think it would have helped State a little bit to at least have 1 pro model.

Manderson def should have a pro shoe on Cons, but that window is probably closed, same with Cromer.

Did Javier Sarmiento ever have a shoe? That dude is probably the best skateboarder to ever live.

Matt Reason is probably my favorite skater (goes back and forth between him, Jake Rupp and Fred Gall) and he didn’t have a shoe but I consider the half cab his show.

I think Matt was supposed to get a Sheep shoe

Matt Beach


Matt Beach had an adidas pro shoe during their early 2000s run. Big, chunky, ugly thing.

No, but we’d probably count his pro model

Are Curren Caples, Nyjah, Louie Lopez and Chris Millic the only people to get actual new pro shoes in the past 3 years? I can't think of nor find anyone else

Matt Hensley never got a pro shoe on Airwalk after innovating on the cut down low tops…that’s the biggest miss in skateboarding history.

Post career ‘pro’ shoe on Macbeth just rubs salt in the wound.

Yeah he probably shoukd have gotten an Airwalk pro shoe but The Gambler on Duffs was a Hensley model wasn't it? And judging by what I remember of some videos and pics at that time I think it sold quite well.
I always wanted a pair.

Three years is a lot longer than you think...

TJ Rogers, Tom Knox, John Shanahan, Ishod, Reynolds, Dilo, Kalis...

I'm sure there are more too if you take that timeframe literally...

But not nearly as many as in the past...
