Firstly Jaya was sick as fuck.
Secondly that is a couple of pages of real crappy shoes. I remember everyone had branched out of buying full priced "skate shoes" and were raiding the discount racks for campus, gazelles, shell-toes, clydes, Barclays (if you could find them), Dr J's.
Then the companies reacted, "if the skaters are buying these why not make them" and proceeded to fully fuck them up and charge full price, then they would blow out and fall apart.
