I'm think of grabbing some es before they get hard to find as I've never actually owned a pair before (yeah yeah shoot me). How are the Square Two Fusions? These are the only colourway I can find atm that I can get.

[close]

I've never skated the fusion version - though I do have them in my closet; However, the regular square two is godly. Perfectly pointy toe, big one-piece toecap, pushed-back laces so they take forever to rip. IMO, it's pretty much a perfect shoe as long as you don't have to jump down any giant gaps.

Get them.
Cheers man.

Could someone with campus vulcs do me a favor.

I need to weigh them for an international shipping quote but the battery in my scales just died.

Could you weight them with and without the box. It would be incredibly helpful.

so I found these tnt's for sale but the orange side line is kinda ugly, i don't like colors.
anyone know how to remove them without destroying the whole shoe?


In the end they're skate shoes. They will get fucked up but those are damned good shoes so if you're getting a good deal just keep the orange, otherwise you might make it look much shittier. Do you have an old set of Vans you can experiment with? Cut the threads and see what happens.

That orange is way flashier than I usually go for but is it really that bad? I could see getting used to it and actually somewhat like it, just wouldn't be my 1st or 2nd color choice.

A little heads up for everyone - don't buy Habitat shoes.  The outsole loses its grip after one session.  My foot slides everywhere during ollies and fliptricks... junk outsoles but nice cushion and suede.

http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nike/en_IN/customer_service

theyll most likely ask you to send them in and then theyll mail you a new pair or fuck you over with a giftcard

The bottom sole is in perfect but the outer sole where the grip was went completely flat after a couple sessions.  It slides everywhere

Should we make a sticky thread of sale/discount shoes? I know all is looking for good deal on kicks. And that's the one stop thread to look for some good deals online and shops that have sites & take phone orders.

Yeah I think that would get a lot more hits. Just set some guidelines and I'm sure it will pick up quickly!

Nike always good with taking back defekted shoes.

I had some SB Dunk Low's a while back and they hurt my feet a ton after wearing them for 2 days, I sent them back to the site I bought em from, who then sent them to Nike who said it was my fault and then didn't send the shoes back to me (they were $80 fyi)

Also my left foot has never healed from them, my left big toe can bend significantly less than my right after I wore those shoes.

I've seen some set-ups on here with those big independent stickers. Where can I buy one?

I checked the NHS store and they only have a 14 inch decal, too big.

Which would you say is better? I used sharpie before and it went alright. Curious on how spray paint will work. I feel like it will be a lot quicker. I cant tape over parts and just let the shoes have it. Thanks!

Seconded. skated a pair for a little while and retired them for pushing to work. the sole is still immaculate
