Okay but for real who the fuck is buying these things? Has anyone seen them in the wild? I know I've seen it asked before but I don't think I've ever seen a solid answer for this. Specifically looking at people can report from the suburbs or LA since I feel like if there was going to be a place you'd see them it'd be there.
There's a group of skaters around 12-14yrs old that all wear the Catiba Pro models, they hit up one of my local parks from time to time (central Valley, CA), and one of the kids told me I needed to check out Cariuma because they're better than my Michelin Maranas...
The direction skateboarding is going in is fucked.
And the Vallely pro vs the Catiba Pro...aside from the toe cap, POSSIBLY a little bit bigger of an ollie panel, and the logo smaller...how is it a pro model? His pro shoe on Servant was better.
