Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[Nora9]

was riding on my old krux downlows and small ass wheels (prob 46mm or so) and it felt so strangely right

[CINCINNATI]

picked up some super star adv vulc's from eBay and am impressed. haven't skated them too much yet but damn they feel nice. anyone have any bad things about them?

[NJFly318]

I just picked up a pair of Venture 5.8s. I'll see if I like them better than the Thunder 149s that I've been using.

Dear, Skateboarding + Polar collab deck. Graphic nod to Salman. Graphics by Ron Chatman I think.

I did the same recently, pushing around on them I can't say I'm sold. There's definitely a lag before you start turning. I wish they'd just make a slightly higher thunder with an extended base plate, it would be hands down the best truck.

I wish the same thing, I like everything about Thunders except the wheel bite (even with 1/8" risers). I will see what they feel like when I can skate again, overall I am excited to try them.

My only complaint was your sock bunching up a little bit with the insole but that only happens when you put the shoe on. Once it's on they are fine. I loved them and want to buy the black high tops next. Might have to skate my samba ADVs first to justify the purchase.

I skated the classic white leather color of the Superstar ADV for about 2 weeks before I couldn't stand them.
To me, they start looking really bad after you skate them, probably because they were white leather but I also shredded the laces very quickly.

I also have very sweaty feet, so after about 10 minutes my foot would be sliding like crazy on the insole and my heel would slip out of the back of the shoe when pushing and walking. I actually felt like the Adiprene was too high and mushy and very unstable.
Overall I just don't think the shoe holds its shape very well and it's a giant miss just like the way they designed the Stan Smith Vulc. I'm not sure who's foot it was designed for or who the hell did sample testing.

Yes

After reading about Jc taking zumiez for all they're worth in the sale gear thread, I figured I checkout what cheap welcome boards were up, found one in the shape I like for $35 so i snagged it, it's gonna sit at the back of my stack of boards for a while but hopefully it has a good bottom ply stain I can strip back.

Picked up a GX long sleeve from a uk shop that was on sale too

Bought my first set of Bones Swiss six balls. Man, I just should have done that years earlier. Loving them so far!

If you're not already, do yourself a favour and use spacers with them. It helps prevent too much stress on the cages meaning they're less likely to crack.

Sure, spacers are in place. But thanks for the advice!

[j....soy.....]

My new theory is to buy them directly from Powell because then you can buy an extra or a cage which they sell in singles....

That's actually not a bad gimmick for a company....sell a set of 9 so you have an extra....

haven't got them yet, ordered online (no local shop has them)

I've skated regular blazer mids, gt blazers, and bruins so I figure it would be kind of like those. bruins were pretty tight around my feet which is perfect for me. felt like a sock. blazer grand taylors were looser than bruins, but still nice. blazer mids were some of my favorite shoes. loosest out of all, even with the elastic tongue centering thing. Only reason I purchased the non gt blazer ones was because they look to have the blazer mid sole which has a thicker herringbone than the taylors. my gt ones wore out in about two months while the mid's were still going after like 4 months. plus, the soles are thicker in height so they look cooler Imo, just a personal thing. ill report back when I get them haha. fingers crossed they don't give me blisters

Put it on the list

[Roisto]

Finally got it! For some reason Tactics was able to ship it to Finland for only $10, while pretty much all other places charge around $40 for shipping.

Anyway, I'm well stoked. Watched Misled Youth today before going skating and it got me really hyped. I fucking love Zero videos! 

[Krooked antihero]

^Sweet!^

[Roisto]

Been hyped on State since they started. Finally got myself a pair of pairs. 

Both feel nice on feet. Only tested them out in the house a bit so far, so can't say much else. Liking the Elgins more but the Hudsons aren't bad at all either. I really like the simple and clean design. If they skate good and don't blow out too easily, I'll definitely get some more. Not stoked on all their colorways but some of them are really nice.

Do the elgins run the same size as the Hudsons? I have the Hudsons but think I prefer the look of the Elgins more.
