these look like they'd be the best things ever
If I had to pick one pair of shoes all time that I personally remember skating and that felt the best for my feet its these. I had one of every color way made back in the day. I bought every pair in my size the shop at the time had, and sat on them for a while. Its still the first thing I scour ebay for, i wouldn't even hold onto them, Id skate the shit out of em. I heard rumors Es might re release them, Im hoping the sole is not stiff this go around. First ones were so flexible and good.
Like Dunks, the older ones that everyone swoons over from a while ago are the best cause the sole is flexible as shit, the new re done sole sucks, its stiff as shit just causing the shoe to feel boxier than it is/should be.
Es tried to re do the SLB 2 years ago and the made it kind of half assed and slightly off kilter from the original, I have a pair of the samples somewhere, they were super stiff and not as comfy. the neoprene sock and ankle support were the best part of the OG and they can't skimp on that if they're re-done.
Sorry for this rant, I'm very passionate about the SLB 2,to me it's like the Shelby to Nick Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds
