@chillclinton87 @spacial_profiling Word, thanks.
I can def see skating a GR suede shoe that doesn’t have anything special about it (just another color way),
But when it’s a special shoe that has some story to it or collab, I always wonder if they’re being skated or kept as chillers for a long time because they’re special.
Personally, I got the orange label whites with a strap like four years ago for retail ($95! Dayum!), and wore them for one or two months, but then said “fuck it. They’re SKATE shoes.”
Skated them with shoe goo till the soles got flat…
Now I regret skating them because I would REALLY like to have those again just to wear.
