Probably I'll be getting the new old skills next week and after that I'm retiring for a while all my purchases.
you won’t regret it. new Old Skools fit great and skate pretty damn good.
Also thinking about getting DC Kalis vulc. They're super cheap on here. Anybody tried them?
Rode 2 pairs and really loved it. Toe box a little narrow but stretches out by the end of the session. Design is basic and no-frills, great if you like that style of shoe. Vulc grips very nicely for flips but heelflips are a little lacking, though I'm not the best judge since my heelfips are ass. Sole was really lasting, got a good 2.5 months of 2-3 sessions a week, 3 hours each. Only downside was the thinness of the sole, great board feel but landing primo sucked donkey balls.
Overall, DC did a great job with a stripped down version of Kalis' shoe, it's almost unrecognizable from his pro model. They are probably clearing stock for the next season's colorways and the mids which are hitting stores now. The white ones look really nice.
Great basic shoe if you can get it on discount, I managed to get mine for $25 USD. Great value at that price.
Edit: if they made the Kalis S in a somewhat similar styling (cupsole + better lace loops) I would be all in on those.
