This shoe has been in the line for like a decade, and that lace loop on the tongue is still in the wrong place.

where do you think the loop should be, higher or lower?

The sole looks like the wrong color of off-white paint that your landlord leaves in the closet for you to use.

I never understood the problem that people have with off-white outsoles. Just makes it look a lot more natural looking and easy on the eyes than Brandon Biebel’s teeth level of white.

To each his own. That Busenitz sole looks like it's been sitting in the window too long. I clean any white outsole shoes I have with Vim regularly, so I guess I like the shine.

Yep, off-white is just, well, off...

561Boss is a great shop. I’ve placed several orders with them since the quarantine.

I'm generally fine with off white. Ive actually had Busenitz in an off white color and currently have nite joggers with lots of off white. But those soles in particular don't look right to me.

I like them in theory and they photograph well, but in person (particularly the super Stan) they just look too yellow, like coffee stained teeth

About a millimetre lower, just so the laces go through it naturally, rather than getting pulled up.

They should add tongue centering straps!

The RX version had it!


After skating a pair of those it ruined the regular Busenitz to me. They had all the good things about the busenitz with none of the bad things. Sad they didn't stay long in the line  :'(

Damn, they should’ve kept that. I liked the pair I skated but the tongue moved around too much.

I wish the RX version didn't have that cat tongue inner fabric though. I hated that...no matter what socks I had on they would inevitably get pulled down under my heel. If they made the RX with the standard Busenitz inner fabric then they'd be perfect.

i really love the cat tongue heel.  I thoguht the tyshawns would have it based on the looks but sadly they dont.  Tyshawns shoe still really comfortable though.

back to the rx, I have a pair stricly for my drip fits that i dont skate in yet.  the tongue is softer and a bit shorter than my other pairs.  I bought them for $45 from SPoT a few years back and never wore them until recently.  To think at one point, I was trying to sell them.  Never again.

ha.

Damn, I want 3 of those 4 lynx zeros! Black/white looks too plain to me, so I'm passing on that one. I'm actually interested in trying a pair and skating them when they all come out next month! Hopefully I don't regret it! 😆

If I do get em, I'll share my thoughts on em in one of the other threads

i put a small lace through the top eyelets and it works perfectly to keep the tongue centered. you can't even tell it's there when wearing, and others can hardly notice otherwise

:) I must have been tripping last night

Anybody got any better photos of these? Here's a sneak peak I just saw of a new one coming from emerica. Looks like they are trying to switch it up a bit. https://photos.app.goo.gl/PdUCh7ME4DujVFfM6

I couldn't figure out how to upload the photo because the file size was too large and I'm too lazy. If anyone wants to post the photo, feel free

Looks like they're finally stepping out of their comfort zone... straight into a pair of reebok clubs.

Was thinking the exact same thing. If they're similar and more durable I'd buy em though. Had three pairs in the last year but they just blow out too quickly.

Those look great I’m all for new stuff from Emerica.

This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.
