Funny that there’s three brands trying to push silver shoes rn - skatepark gunna be like that Mike Tyson ad where the guy gets the face tattoo and shows up to the party where Mike Tyson is there and has the same face tat. “Silver shoes were supposed to be my thing man! now everyone at the local has them”

I do like the look of silver shoes in clips though - I feel like it was one of the few saving graces of dills skate more part that made it stand out besides the super mid clips. Ps it was one of my fav parts growing up because the tricks were relatable and the song and outfits was a vibe when I was a teen.


bro besides daewon, dill had the best part in skate more. lowkey dills best part

Got a few pair of these a while back. Though some of you might like to see how they look beat up.
Probably had around 10-15 sessions in them. Nearly gone though the rubber finally.
And as someone previously stated, yes - the laces do in fact rip pretty quick unfortunately.

How did you like them @pekkaaa ? I’m guessing that they are thin for boardfeel like a climbing shoe without any midsole. How was the rubber toe for flicking? These gave me interested, especially this color way

I like them a lot! I guess they’re kinda thin but not too thin. Not like a 440 you know, where you feel like a primo might kill you.

The rubber toe feels great to flick off of, very consistent if that makes sense. Felt too grippy at first, but I think that was more of a mental thing. Got used to it pretty fast.
it's interesting they made the toe rubber like a climbing shoe. seems kinda pointless

The point is it's marketing
Climbing / bouldering is hot right now especially among skaters
It has all the traits of a climbing shoe, a skatable one

i didn't know climbing was popular amongst skaters these days, way cooler than golf in my book. never really got into serious climbing per se but love a good canyoneering trip

How’s the sizing? All it needs is some Velcro and I could go from the skatepark to the boulders.

True to size for me. Same size as I wear in dunks for example.

I think they’re just referencing how it’s the part where it became clear to the general public how kooky Berra was between the dramatic ankle surgery intro, the super-disguised fake spots, and the Berrics launching fairly recently after.

climbing trees and rocks and other fun shit in the way a carefree child or monkey would, is rad. But climbing like as a sport/standalone culture is honestly so wack now especially since it's kinda been combined with gorpcore fashion bullshit so every dork with an arcteryx beanie that can't skate gets into climbing lmao It's hard to care about some finance bro sending his v7.605 or whatever the fuck at the Dumbo climbing gym when he would get fucking embarrassed by your average 38 year old Bronx crackhead doing pullups on scaffolding

I meant heel turn in the pro wrestling sense of turning into a bad guy - not to be confused with how Berra turned his heel during a trick or something

Thanks, learned something new!  For a turn to the dark side (as defined as the first page I came across: https://www.wrestlinginc.com/896655/the-greatest-heel-turns-in-the-history-of-pro-wrestling-ranked/), Skate More part was not a bad way to go out.

I was thinking maybe it was some illegal heelslide tic tac or something that I missed. 
Thanks y’all. It’s been fun.

I don't get it. All these sports where you arbitrarily figure out creative and difficult ways to do things on generic objects share pretty similar characteristics and all have their individual weirdo subcultures. I climb and skate. The only kids I see out that are trendy and hype-beast-y are from LA and that's just their thing. Just like certain skaters like to obsess over specific music genres and how their pants fit. Spend less time giving a fuck about what everyone else is doing and more time on your own shit and how you enjoy it.

Honestly I've been climbing for a year now and find so many comparisons to skating. Like how people talk about golf but I can see and feel I've gotten stronger and been healthier.  I couldn't care less about the tech bros I have to share the gym with I put my headphones in and its me vs me. Reminds me of when I was a kid skating and was getting better by the day, trying the same thing over and over until it finally clicks. If having new hobbies as an adult is lame then kill me.

Bowling is fucking sweet, I especially like the alleys that still allow people to smoke, something about years of stale cigs and beer really brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the whole atmosphere that newer alleys lack

Bowling is awesome. I took like the dank old cig smell that will forever be woven into the bones of the place. The one by me used to have a tales from the crypt pinball machine.

I can see why people think climbing is lame. I think it's pretty lame. I don't like the idea of people getting juiced thinking they conquered nature. skateboardings like playing music. Climbing is crawling up a stack of pianos and beating your chest.

folks I'd like to clarify that my hating towards climbing is mostly directed at the subsequent culture/subculture that spawned post-covid, and that's mostly just me reinforcing generalities in my head after dealing with like 4 dorks separately in the past as well as my own personal experiences within the fashion industry (aka Hell). The action of climbing something isn't lame, i feel like it's impossible to even say that; that's kinda like saying walking or breathing sucks lmao.

And like OG climbers back when they had to craft their own fucking gear and like bolt the fucking things into the mountain themselves, that shit is awesome. Or like fucking Dan Osman, that guy was radical. I think I've realized i kinda just hate bouldering, especially when bouls walk around with their big ass bouldering pad/fucking california king mattress only to go 9 inches off the ground, that shit is like mountaineering cosplay while also sniffing your own farts for climbing essentially an earth ladder
