dime is just a lifestyle brand at this point, a lot of non-skaters are wearing/buying dime. I don't mind personally, but like every dime shoe release outside of vans has been unskateable. just like palace.
I notice more and more people that don't skate wearing dime these days. not that there's anything wrong with that, just an observation I made at the mall the other day.
I saw about 5-6 kids walking in a group and they all had the same dime jeans on.
At least in Australia this current skate fashion trend seems to me to be almost as big as the early-mid 2000's as far as 'regular' people wearing skate/street wear stuff. Mostly Butter.
I am Brisbane based, but when I went to Perth, it seemed like everyone who worked in the stores I went to and young people out and about were almost head to toe in skate brand product, maybe the exception being more often people were in high end runners than recognised skate shoes, but it was just funny hearing a lot of them not even having a clue about the brand they were wearing, but they were definitely going to buy more of it.
Butter originated from the core skate guys (Garth and co) from Perth WA, so it made sense, but was just so weird to me that their main following was people who had never set foot on a skateboard.
By comparison, I am old enough to be their parents' age and boring in the style selection, eg plain and simple works best for me, but I know we were heavily into whatever we could get our hands on in the 90s, or made do with "lookalike" jeans and similar styles without the high end price tags.
