Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[Rubbrick]

Snagged some Ace AF1 55’s from warehouseskateboards for $46 shipped. I haven’t skated them yet - still waiting for my current set of indys to snap. 

Thanks again to @Xen for the heads up on the low priced AF1’s

I think I hate the new skate old skools, I suck more than usual since I'm skating those

Different or uncomfortable fit, hard to wear straight out of the box, anything specific for you?

Always curious to hear, but kind of disappointing for you if they are not so good.

Tried an old insole in them (which often makes new shoes feel a lot more like home).

Different fit but the worst for me is the rubber being like "shiny", it flicks super weird for me.

Got a new bronze hat and some wax after the session today.

Featuring bread, the indifferent brindle.

[Bunk Moreland]

I bought an antihero snapback and it's the worst fitting hat ever. I should have tried it on in the shop, but it didn't cross my mind that a regular ass hat could be so shitty and ill fitting.

Also got a black label jake reuter football.

You’re going to love that football more than any other shape you’ve ever skated. Snapped mine today and had another on ice I gripped up. Fucking love that board so much.

Some / all of the new caps have been such a weird fit or super small lately from DLX, or at least the ones I have seen and tried on.

Between some companies getting their own caps produced, they might work on some heads, but not on mine and I usually wear more the mesh or snap back variety, not the unstructured ones, but some have been way too shallow, others just that weird in between size or even kids size, so yeah I have definitely had some caps that had to go as they just don't fit at all.

What sort is the one you got?

[Bunk Moreland]

It's this one. Admittedly, I have a large dome and wear a 7.5" New Era, but I was on the last snap on this thing. Gave it to my poser wife.

I'm skating through something right now, haven't set it up yet. What trucks are you running? All I have are 5.8 ventures but I feel like they're going to make the nose and tail non-existent. I might have to venture out of my comfort zone and try something new.

Spanky Baker X Barry McGee board

[antarctica]

Got two pairs of black regular dakota workpants 34 x 34 for cheap af. I fit more of a 30 in the waist but I like a looser fit. 34 lenght cause im tall and skinny but still like to cuff.

[bigdave]

These aren't my actual boards, but I did buy two of these direct from Jeremie.

I have battled weight-obsession, body dysmorphia, and an eating disorder my whole life. So I dont know if it was a good or bad idea for me to own this board, and I don't even know for sure what Pontus' intent was with the graphic, but I saw them and immediately had to have one to skate, and one to keep.

I also recently got an antihero snapback that I'm not too hyped on, it had a super good structure the first time I wore it but it became pretty unstructured almost immediately which I was bummed about because I finally thought I had found a good strucuted hat (i look dumb in unstructured hats). Not sure if its a quality control thing or just a brand of snapback thing, but I wish they would fix that.

[FUBAR]

Arrgghh its hard not buying a set of the new Aces at that deal!

[Ilya Oblomov]

Ordered a pair of black/white half cabs off Parade World. Never used them before so hopefully everything goes well.

2 of those hawt black dipped 8.5 Q decks from the mother ship. I need to keep my stockpile full up.

Is that the same shape as the Curb King board Magenta put out? Also, what's the brand on that one?

Shoutout to all the thiccbois

It's a different shape than that one. This is "Into the Wild," Daclin's limited board run brand he does alongside Film.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Grabbed some spit formula 4’s in the classic shape. Been skating wide / conical / conical full shaped wheels for the past several years. I’m interested to see how they will feel.

[moonordie]

Just got these for really cheap, pretty stoked.

[OrangeVHStapes]

Excited... Very excited...

Good shoe at RRP, great shoe when discounted

At the end I didn't even tried them and sold them.
You know the drill.

They have been mostly 50% off in a few colourways of those for a while, so some people I know have been buying up and will have shoes to last a long time.

Mostly they swap out the insoles for others like Footprint elites, but as a simple vulc shoe the DC Kalis vulc is pretty solid and lasts longer than Vans for these guys I know.

Been there and done that many times before. Some times when it doesn't feel right that's the best thing you can do.

The soles were pretty thin with decent durability. Lasted me 2 months with Shoe Goo until the sole gave out.

These sold out so quickly but I finally found one this afternoon. I’m an old fart, but Kento gets me hyped!!!

Stoked to get my hands on these.

Just curious, what do you skate, just curbs / flat or other stuff too?

I usually skate the small stuff at the park. Small box/rails etc. but since the parks are still closed where I am. I bought these for a slappy set up.

For All star and purcell silhouettes, yeah. I don't know about the other shoes they offer.
