this was the last time I really cared about these shoes
I had these in black, they were great.
I've had quite a few pairs of DVS over the years and no complaints from me. Haven't had a pair in recent years though.
What younger dudes don't know that DVS was the shit when they first came out, all the GIRL / CHOCOLATE heads riding for them. Since their hey day, they have somewhat fallen into mediocrity. Their designs have always been kind of mediocre but back then there wasn't as much competition as today. The Tim Gavin shoe was awesome when it came out but they're still kind of riding that same train and that was like 2003.
