Great read, I'd love to give the shoes a try if I can find some.

[daewonbong3000]

That's funny you referred to the Pure as bulky haha. I remeber getting those back when and thinking how they had such great boardfeel. But yeah good luck to you dude!

[baravettski]

Thanks everyone, been a busy and skressful couple months but it's about to be on. We put some shirts up on the website as a soft launch to get rolling, shoes should be in at the end of July, working on a video with the dudes for when they hit.

Hey friends, properskateboarding.com is live and shoes are ready to order. Shipping some orders to shops today, if you guys know any local shops that you think should carry em, let me know.

If any of you guys do shoe orders today I'll throw a pair of socks in there. Consider it a thank you to the Slap Pals for listening and commenting and talking shit and everything else.

[baravettski]

Also if there's anything specific you'd like to see in a shoe description let me know.

[Mongoloid]

I need shoes about as much as I need my scrotum pierced, but I've been waiting for those white/gum joints for a minute.

waiting till payday. any chance instead of socks there could be a better deal to canada?

[Grind King Rims]

Damn dude, minimum $49 shipping to Ireland.  I'm not that surprised, it is what it is, but I can't justify 130 shoes. Let me know when you guys sort a Euro distributor anyway! Best of luck Baravettski!

Not really about the description, but on feet pictures could be cool. Lakai used to do this and I think sometimes it gives a more accurate idea of the shape/fit of the shoe. Granted, the pants that you choose for the picture is important too

Also, on your instagram make some identificable hastags. People like to go through instagram and check other peoples pictures of your shoes.
Making a distingable yet easy hashtag can be good to build some presence on instagram especially among the young public.

Adidas and eS are good in the hashtag game (besides the #eS_ACCEL_Slim that is a too long # in my opinion), but Nike and etnies are kinda bad (most of the jamesons lines or maranas lines uses the same # in the etnies insta)

I can see something like #proper_cinex or #proper_rook for example. It's really easy to implement, and it can really help to build your visibility.

Have you looked into a euro distro? Deal with Rock Solid who are real good, Wes is the man to speak to, also Form, they do all the Crailtap shit for the UK

[Mongoloid]

Are there any plans to release the red "Cinex" model?

I was actually just about to dig into this, thanks. i'll hit em up now.

yeah next drop once I can sell through some of this first run.

[Bizarro Jerry]

How's the fit on these? Super interesting in the conquista model.  I wear a 8 in just about every lakai, 7.5 in vans, 8 in emerica.

[baravettski]

You should be an 8 then. True to size and medium wide I'd say.

[baravettski]

If any of you guys have some local shops I should hit up, lemme know. Time to start hustling these things out to the streets.

Thanks

I know They reached out to State. They use to sell a bunch of Dekline. I think they may be trying to expand since the local shop closed its doors

I tried a pair on today.  Mid wide is accurate, pretty comfortable, look good enough.
