Axion Iannuccis
Neckface Sk8-his
Nike BA Blazer colorway
Gino Mcenroe colorway
Black/White Nike Blazer mids (seriously can't find them anywhere wtf?)
Ed templeton art Emerica Ridgemonts
Ed Templeton art Transists (both his and lows)

The Emerica Transists were probably my favorite cupsole shoes ever made. I bought a pair off ebay in 2010 for $15 shipped. They fit perfectly and had a perfect shape to them. The shape was similar to Vans Old Skools. Awesome shoes. I skated them so long that I had holes in every sock I owned. I wish they would bring them back.

Size 11.5 please
[close]

Have them in size 10 (and still bring them out from time to time). I'll try and post a pic next time I go out for a roll.
Best adidas SB shoe ever imo, and still super relevant in 2015
[close]

They were dope. Had several pairs, but the last pair in this colourway i bought turned out to be too tight and ended up selling them on.

I have these exact ones in 11.5 in my "adidas pro model archive".

They squeak like a motherfucker though haha.

my first year of high school I had like 4 pairs of these

[close]
I had like 3 pairs of the furry ones..... IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT I SPEAK OF/CAN FIND A PAIR IN 12/13 I WILL PAY U

and if anyone can find the original herman 1 emerica add with the hardflip sequence (i know there are probably many) over like a ditch bump to street

i still have a pair of these at my moms house, same colorway but i think the right shoe has black laces,a bit skated but theyre in good shape still, probably just a bit rustled by years of laying around stuff in a closet

pica> don't like the reissues? (don't worry, many don't)

Dr Steve Brule> WOW! these are getting a lot of love in this thread. Maybe I should skate a pair instead of selling them?

Silas 1/ OG peeps> I skated mine on Wednesday night and they didn't squeak. Still the best adidas SBs I've ever skated though

McCly> Can we get a pic of said archives?

Makaveli> Puleo stockpiled them no? They always looked rad, wonder how the ones with the vibram soles skated?

el chino> post a pic if you've still got them. maybe it's just me but old shoes' soles tend to harden up over the years if you don't rock them frequently

Omamori> That's an impressive list but I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find any of them (especially all those kostons). Not impossible, but you'll be paying through your anal cavity (on ebay). Never did skate a pair of 88s, did hear lots of good things about them them though.

***

I really should get this list posted with photos/ prices.
Sorry about my tardiness, moving houses with a wife and new baby proved to be quite time consuming. Let's see if I can get some of these kicks online in the next few months.

The 6's aren't too hard to find. Finding a good colorway is hard though. The K2's and K4's are always sizes too small or a size 13. I got lucky a few months ago and scored a pair of the K3's, they were actually owned by Jeremy Wray.

88's are probably harder to find. Rarely see pairs for sale.

Ipath Reed, preferably the lows. I still regret getting rid of them.

Goddamm, if anyone has ANY colourway of Ellington 1's in a UK 9 or 9.5 PM the fuck out of me, hassle me. I seriously haven't had a shoe since those that looked as good / felt as good (except perhaps the origional SZA Emerica's).

Found a pair at ross a few years back they were a size too big but i still got them anyway. Just wore some thick socks and delt with it

Wonderful Whizzplank · « **Reply #251 on:** August 22, 2015, 04:17:57 PM »

God damn, never skated them but I really wanted the eS Ecosse at the time, and still do, preferably this colorway

Also the fallen troopers and supra dixons, I did skate these and they were so very good.

Not for nothing but I have a pair of Es Koston 1's (without the bubble) in white/green leather in a 10.5, only worn, if anyone's interested.

This shoe but in the Formula 1 red color, best shoe i have ever skated in, had them about 10 times thanks to the vans outlet where i used to live

JerrySeinfeld · « **Reply #265 on:** October 11, 2015, 05:53:35 PM »

Fuck yeah. I had about 10 pairs of these as well due to the outlet store. I liked this color and the navy blue/ white color

Not sure if this is the proper topic for this but I've recently decided to get rid of all my old gems, here's pics and details if anyone is interested in picking up some rare shit.

Lynx Size 9 White/Emerald lightly worn, never skated. No box.
Rudy Johnson 1 size 9 navy, well worn, never skated. No original box, but an older Lynx box that I wrote "CDs" on top of when moving haha.
Howard 2 Black size 8.5 deadstock w/original box
Howard 1 White size 9 lightly worn, never skated. No OG box but with a size 9 Howard 2 box.
Howard 2 Black size 9 slightly skated, no box, yellowing sole. Good pair if someone wants to skate some oldies.

Koston 1 Brown/Gum size 9 lightly worn never skated w/ original box and extra laces
Koston 1 Black/White size 9 lightly worn never skated w/ original box and product sticker
Koston 1 first run colourway white/gum with no air pocket (only first run white and black had no air pockets). Size 9 w/original box, extra laces, and sticker.
Koston 2 first run colourway black size 8.5. Lightly worn, no original box, but with a box from a different shoe around the era.
Koston 3 first run colourway grey/navy size 9. Lightly skated w/ original box.

SLB 97 black/gum size 8.5 lightly worn. No original box, but in an older Etnies Sal 23 box.
Etnies Sal 23 2003 reissue. Black 8.5, white size 9, brown size 9. All w/ original box. All lightly worn, except the brown which is a little more worn.
Etnies Natas 2003 Reissue size 9 w/original box, laces, etc. Worn.
Lakai Howard 1 black size 9 lightly skated
Lakai Carrol 1 grey size 9. Pretty well skated, but don't want much for them if someone just wants them for nostalgia
Lakai Carroll 2 black/silver with the weave. Lightly worn never skated.

Axion Mariano 1 first run colourway size 8.5. Deadstock w/ original box, and keychains, no yellowing.
Axion Gino Islander navy size 9 worn w/original box, packing paper, and keychains.
Axion Triad white size 8.5 deadstock w/original box and extra laces and keychain still attached.
Axion Aries white size 9 worn no box.
Axion Aries black size 8.5 deadstock never worn with original box. However, just discovered the foam is falling apart and the sole is basically falling off. Would let them go for cheap if someone wanted to repair them for the collection. Couldn't really be worn though.

If anyone's interested in any of them, send me a private message we can talk about prices. All worn shoes have been cleaned with Jason Markk shoe cleaner.

I think I've posted this here before, but man do I miss the AV3s. I found a pair on Amazon but can't for the life of me remember my size so I'm pretty sure they're too big.
