Are the skate line Dickies any better than the regular ones?

I’ve finally found a pair of brown ones but they’re from the skateboard ones and I’m not convinced the fit is the same

the skate ones have a slightly more consistent fit, that's about it, imo.


regular dickies can vary wildly, you can get 5 pairs of 874's and they'll be pretty different ime. also i don't like lighter weight flex fabric that's on some of the skate and regular ones.

IMO the only Dickies worth a shit are their basic 100% cotton carpenter pants. They're slightly more expensive than the plastic 874s, but cheaper than any "skate" brand of pants and are actually pretty great for both working and skating.

808 or 1010

this is the answer.
808s, 1/2 size up, will still be too tight, and then they finally break in a little bit

forum advs are really good and practically indestructable I thought they were on par with 1010s if slightly less cushioned sole

Been obsessing over the release of the wide NB 574s for months now, and they finally dropped this morning on the NB site.  Before spending the $140cdn on a pair I decided to Google some reviews about the 574 sizing.  I learned that they already released a wide version a few years ago, and the reviews almost unanimously said they were way too narrow even in 2E.  Guess I’ll stick to sk8 lows/mids.

I read the same reviews...how do you make a w-i-d-e shoe and yet it's still narrow? Made me wary of the 440 V2 in wide.

Were the reviews for general release wide 574s? I would just try on the regular numeric 574s and determine if a model thats even slightly wider than that would be worth the purchase. Not to dissuade you from listening to the reviews but I feel like non skaters generally want shoes even wider than what would feel good for skating. For me at least.

Thinking about stacking an ice chest for spring. I have less bread then because I'll have another car then.

I got question first.

The antihero blue meany is 8.75

Does anyone know the wheel base roughly?

Yes, I have one.  It is 14.75 wb which is quite long for some people, but it works well on that board.

Got it used / second hand from a swap / trade and it is a fun board, but I find it is closer to 8.5 than 8.75 where it counts, just in case that matters at all.  I have 149s on it with big cruiser wheels, rather than 159s / 6.1 on regular wheels, but you could still easily run the 6.1 trucks with any of your current wheels on it no problem.

Got to say, those are pretty sick in that raw finish...until you see the yoke...and those stock orange bushings...why not some bushing color flavor?



They should have done that on the inner hanger face not the yoke...and full name, I don't think JH carries the same instant name recognition as say, seeing "Koston/Reynolds" on a truck... Delfino either for that matter...Ribeiro...They're great skaters but if a kid goes into a shop and sees 'Henry' I dunno...shit Tiago got his full name when they could have just slapped Tiago on it and everyone would know who's truck that is.

Way better than Louie's tho - points for black bushings no IKP AND matching the plate...and that plate, would that need a mold or did they engrave that J? I don't gaf about cross/no cross but I like the different flavors of graphics Indy has been doing (front of plate, pivot area, etc).

this looks good.
i’d like to hear how the palace treats you. i haven’t gotten to see one of those in a shop, in a very long time. the shops near me do a great job of stocking what folks want, but that can seem homogenized.
the 9” polar looks so good in person. i don’t skate boards that big (or i rarely do, my body would
prefer an 8-8.25), but whenever i see that board in person i grab it and eyeball it

I was looking for that one, still seems it is either not out or maybe it sold out quickly in some places, but there are a few around, maybe more as the DLX orders come in for some shops later than others.

Krooked "Your good" deck

Also funny some places have it listed as 14.25 wb, but as per the catalog and your post, 14.34 is what it is said to be.

That top pic looks really good.  Liking the fact that there is now a more regular length and wheelbase in a 9.0" popsicle that hopefully should be a little more easily available too.
