Skate Shit you've Bought Recently

[metchup]

Told myself I wouldn't ever buy a shaped deck again...BUT.
Somebody posted a screenshot of curren caples showing his setup, and I realized I have all the parts except the deck. And then titus had the deck 50% off. So I guess I'm gonna copy curren caples now and probably hate the setup. 9" and super short wheelbase, gonna be my transition setup I guess. Second time copying a pro setup after unknowingly riding ishods setup for a while, which is still my go to.

If that’s the shape he actually rides I’m surprised he rides such a short wheelbase.  I wonder if it’s because he got good at skating at such a young age riding small boards?

I've read on slap that it's basically just the crailtap loveseat shape, but I really hope it's different. I'll report back when I have it

I picked up some OJ super juice and 1/4” risers to set up a cruiser. Going to see if my dog can pull me around the block..

This Vincent milou deck is similar to the enjoi deedz shape.

A football

8 3/8" width, 32 1/4" length, 14 1/4" wheelbase, 7 1/8" nose, 6 7/8" tail


It’s been on the shelf at the shop for a while, and never noticed it was shaped until It sitting on top of another board.

The first psstix I’ve had since a meow board in like 2017

Got the black on white Nike SB BRSB. Also my shop had it's 12th year birthday and had mystery boxes for 100. I got one and it has 2 8.3 decks, habitat and less than local, a set of 53mm 97a slimeball vomit minis, 2 sheets of jessup, and a vans wallet. All together it was 185 bucks worth of stuff.

Damn that's a bargain. I'm so jealous regarding people having the possibility of mystery boxes. Here in EU is not that common or either I've been missing stuff.

Am on the fence about buying sb dunk reps from dhgate. Anybody have experience with this ?

[fakiefs180]

Hands down my favorite shape these days.
Real 8.28 and some 54mm Radials

If you don't mind me asking..
What is the length of the tail and nose on these 8.28 decks? 31.7 sounds a bit short, but I don't know.

Don’t do it. My understanding is you get what you pay for and they are very inconsistent. You might get a decent looking and lasting pair or a complete shit pair that looks awful explodes in a few sessions. There’s more dunks available in general these days. Non SB dunk highs are easy to find in good colors. Swap some oval laces in there and a zoom air insole and you got a SB dunk without having to resort to fakes.

If you’re buying reps to skate, I can’t imagine they would skate well. Materials are going to be garbage. Formula’s they use for the soles can’t be similar at all. No way they last very long.

I don’t have experience in skating reps, just my input. I think you get what you pay for.

lmao you buggin if you think im gonna pay 120+ for some shoes

they make them shits for pennies on the dollar & artifically drive prices up by limited releases

ill legitimize whatever the fuck i want if it means i get to hurt a big corporation

[eSK3]

^fakes don’t hurt corporations, just the consumer. You think you’re getting the same thing but it’s really not. There’s plenty of shoes to choose from that aren’t dunks. Especially if you don’t mind skating non skate shoes which dunks originally were/are.

Yeah I was pretty happy with what I got for the price. Never tried slimeball or 97a wheels but I'm sure they'll be good for a cruiser/ rough spot setup. I'm lucky to have such a good shop in my area. He does the mystery box for special events/ sales.

[apbarbs]

i've skated fake sb dunks around 2010 - i was visiting china and found a place that had very very good fakes, felt and skated identical to real ones (which i had also skated)

earlier this year i found a place in mexico city that had fake dunks that were indistinguishable to me, they didn't have my size so i got a pair for my friend, he's been loving them

that being said, i wouldn't get a pair unless i could feel them in person

I've ridden a few fake dunks, Basically, they're a toss-up. In rather your getting quality or not. You can go on Reddit and find seller recommendations, but it looks like the quality sellers will cost like 80$ or 90$ it's still not 100% guaranteed that you will get a quality rep. The rep sellers don't really have the incentive to provide a quality product. They have to do the bare minimum which is to ship a shoe. If for whatever reason, they get shut down, they'll just create a new account to sell from.

For the cost and trouble you're better off just buying something else. The last time I bought reps. I got 2 pairs from the same seller. 1 passable, 1 near perfect. The passable pair ran too big. The perfect pair ran too small. It's shit like that, that really isn't worth the risk IMO.

I bought ishods and got a hole in them after only two sessions. Granted the last session was with new grip but still. Glad i didn't pay full price. skated decent though

thanks man, youre the only person who replied to me who actually had experience with buying & skating reps

the sizing and quality variance is def something youve brought to my attention

rn, im only looking for a basic colorway (like a panda or syracuse), not a specific model/rare drop, so im banking on that to hopefully reduce the quality control issues because it seems like every vendor has those models, so hopefully theyve got it dialed down bc theyre in constant demand

i wasnt willing to spend $120 some dollars on a single pair, but i think what i'll do is buy 4 pairs from 4 different vendors (each $30 a pop so 4 pairs for $120 which way better than just getting 1 pair of shoes) and then try to get a whatsaspp number from the best shoe's vendor in case they get taken down

lmao you shouldve watched his shoes' WAIR test on youtube before you bought them

ill focus my account for you

I've bought a few pairs of Jordan 1s to skate off DHGate. I always look for sellers with plenty of reviews and pictures and gravitate towards them. If you do that, they're pretty responsive and products come in under two weeks.

There's pluses and minuses with my experiences.

On the plus side, they look pretty realistic/can fool most people unless you look close. They run tts so no issues there. And they skate pretty well/like the real thing shape wise.

On the negative side, the materials are subpar. The "suede" on the toecap looks the part but will start ripping after a session or two. They do not have legit padding. The sole feels hollow. Similar to a shoe you get at wal-mart. And (though I don't care) there are some design discrepancies if you really look (like Jordan having a pincer hand).

That said, it seems like you're similar to me. I'm not paying $120+ for shoes i'm going to destroy. As a result, these are a fun alternative. They just might not last that long.
