Original Rowley XLT model. Wore out in a few weeks, but man they were the right balance between padding and feel, the correct sole, and og style
Those were my first real skate shoes back in the 6th grade
New Rowleys are fire aswell
@@graalcloud literally same. Same grade too lol. 2001 6th grade. We're old now boy.
Love The Xlt , one my favorite looking skate shoes , would love some of those ,, my friend had em when we wer in 4th grade , they wer super Cool
@@keyonnesbit576 you talking about the 20yr reissue? I bought a pair the first month they dropped. I don't understand how anyone can wear them without having 20 pair of socks on. No tung straps and the opening is huge. The pair I got from vans also had obvious signs of wear as there no tags, already laced up and pieces of gravel in the bottoms of the soles. I wanted to talk so much shit on Vans website for that but restrained. I just keep them on display because I walk right out of them.
You should do this in different category’s
Like best 90’s , 00s vulc, cupsole etc
top 3 in the 80s,90s,2000s,10s
The OG sal23 and the half cab are tied for best in my mind. I I remember being super hyped on Agah’s first Vans model too.
The Sals dude ❤️
23
Sal 23 by far!
Only right answer.
Sals ALLLLL DAY
The p- rod 1s were Legendary
its an easy answer for me... eS OG Accels... hands down no question, they are the most dependable and versatile skate shoe design ever
Yup
Your 38 that's why you said that they looked cool but there shit try real skate shoes no buckets on your board
@DXRK0 i would love to skate new thin shoes youngin... just one problem... i got hobit feat bro... my big ass thicc man feet dont fit in them kiddy shoes... if i wear vans or even slim accels, my Peggy Hill feat just wont fit lol
It inspired a ton of different shoes too. That's how you know it's good when others start to rip you off.
You gotta break em in fred flinstone
How bout the Reynolds 3 with the diamond in the eyelet? The maroon joints 🔥
Those were great shoes. I loved the diamond at the top hole because I always leave the top open, so that was dope. I had so many different colors and the all tan one's were my favorite ones.
loved them. They were my first vulcs i think. Distinctly remember the difference in board feel from the puff shoes of that era. Learned sw flips and nollie flips in one day from those shoes cuz of that board feel.
My favorite skate shoe of all time was the Emerica Reynold 3. the flick for both heelflip and kickflip tricks was insane. i also loved the Vans Chukka Low. again, just the perfect skate shoe. such a good flick.
I love the reynold 3’s. I remember my first pair came with diamond studs to go in the last lace hole.
Ahhh, the Chukka's are bomb !
YES
reynolds 3 were fucking awesome! but they wore out fast af 😢
The og Reynolds 3s are my favorite shoes ever. Had at least 10 pairs.
Over many years of skating... my personal favs:
1. Half Cab
2. Es Sal 23s
3. Airwalk - 540s
4. Vans- Mike Carroll
5. Airwalk Enigma
6. DC - Mike Carroll
7. Adidas- Busenitz (Vulcanized version)
8. DC - Lynx
9. Nike SB Zoom Blazer
10. Etnies Rap
the Emerica Reynolds 1....the toe cap had so much grip it was ridiculous, I loved that they used a small little wrap around the heel with the same material that was used on the toe cap, and they were by far the longest lasting kicks that I ever skated. I remember i had waist high heel flips on flat ground with em. I must have destroyed 15+ pairs.
This shoe first came with a gel patch in the heel. Was like skating on clouds when you would jump off shit. Still to this day the best feeling skate shoe I’ve skated 20+ years later
Though that was the templetons
I have to agree, Reynolds 1 skated the best for me too. Had 3 pairs: OG white/ gum, OG black/ gum and the brown/ gum bling ones
*I would say it’s the Circa CM901 for the simple fact that it’s kept many many skaters out of jail thanks to the stash pocket lol*
SO did the eŚ Muska's with the stash pockets were dope and a great shoe to skate.
It almost saved me mannn 😂😂
Fallen Slash with the black suede that faded to rainbow. Loved those. Second would be Vans tnt spitfire that shoe specifically was a favorite of mine.
I wear fallen shoes too. I wanted to see if they had midtop shoes, bc I don't like the way high tops feel and would rather not wear lowtops if I can help it, so I got some fallen Tremont mids. They actually feel perfect, but what I hate is that the tongue doesn't have a loop to lace through it so the tongue doesn't go to the side.
Top 3 skate shoes of all time in no particular order:
1. Emerica Ellington (preferably red/grey OR dark brown/light brown colorways)
LEGENDARY SHOE FROM ELLINGTON!
2. IPath Cats (preferably black or the brown/orange colorway)
3. Es Accels
Honorable mention: Osiris D3 (strictly for durability, not looks)
Accels and Accel Slims are so good and look amazing on your feet
D3s did look sick tho. Like space ships on your feet. Nothing could compare.
eS Accels for sure top 3, it's simple yet stylish.
Those were easily the best colorways for the Ellington's. I'm so glad that someone else appreciates them.
IPath Cats! Those were legit some of the most comfortable shoes ever. I never skated much in mine but I had a friend that loved skating them. 2003 was a cool time to be a skater
Bro is a certified shoe head when he came out saying the model number shit had me beliving him lol 💯
Adio Kenny Anderson 2s for me. I really liked Braydon's pro model for Emerica too.
I've still seen nothing like the janoski wave though when I was younger. I'd have to imagine, just by numbers, that's the most popular shoe and probably most well regarded.
The Anderson 2's we're the goat. Comfy af, durable af, and you can do stair sets all day without your feet killing you.
great choice! I still have mine - just had to go check if they were v2, black and red. super comfy so nice to slip on
Yes man the Anderson 2’s!!!!!
@@SamRussell-NLfancy meeting you here lol
@@markeroon haha, small world!
4:58 who can relate 😂
Sorry mom and thank you for being my first sponsor 🤘🏽
I’ve been skating for like 2 and a half years and I’m in love with it. My fav shoe so far is the Tyshawn. Only shoe I’ve doubled on
Marc Johnson’s original Emerica shoe. All black with gum bottoms
Templeton's for me but MJ is close CLOSE second
Na probably the koston 1
@@JS21810 definitely up there in popularity. I feel like everyone had those.
The Koston 3 Hyperfeel is a goat level shoe. It really feels like an extension of your foot, the boardfeel is unparalleled, the outer barely rips, super responsive. All around great show.
I was going to say the k3 is the best I ever had, but it might be because I was at the height of my skateboarding ability when I had them or the shoes were just sick. It probably was just the shoes that made me better, that's depressing
Steezus busting out the actual shoe name was hilarious
Well, as a 55 year old skater I guess I’ve gone through a few, leaving aside og vans and converse, I guess for me we went through a phase of all just skating various Airwalks, in particular Bruisers. Not the best for feel but seemed to last ages. Then Vision Streetwear suede high.
When the newer generation shoes came out for me, my overall favourite of all time was the e’S Koston 3, in red and white. I loved those things. Nowadays I’m rocking the new Ishod which are so nice.
I used to love the Airwalk Vics back in 80s. Never had a pair (I had the all black 540°F's) but they were amazing. Shame the full wraparound lace saver seemed to cease existence in skate shoe design for decades, as I spent most of my skate life after that dealing with ripped laces and kickflip holes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There was a time in the mid-90's when EVERYONE was wearing the black and white Airwalk One
@@spek-27 they ugly asf
@@cba.literallycant. Umm...ok. Everyone was still wearing them back in the day.
@@spek-27 shoulda skated crocs L mid 90’s skater not skating Crocs with no socks
Stefan Janoski SB's were hands down one of the best skate shoes I have ever owned, hold up well against flips, age well, feels good to skate, nice to walk in and honestly can't think of a negative.
Fr those were my favorite along with my lakai’s
Definitely a nice pick
Best skate shoe ever for sure
And I’m a vans guy
I love the Shane's more just because of the way the laces come out on the inside of each side so it stops you ripping your laces.
The Accels are the best. The Lynx and the DC Rick Howard’s are best looking imo.
Can’t believe it took me this much scrolling down to finally see the LYNX mentioned 🥴👍
I agree. The Accel slim is nice but the lynx ogs 🦾
I had a couple pairs of the lynx
Supra Ellingtons... The only shoes I ever kept after retiring them from skating. When the supra team came around for a demo at my local park I brought them and had the whole team sign them. Fond memories.
Emerica Ellingtons ?
Those were some great shoes
Sal 23’s, DC Boxers, Airwalk One were all good to skate, clean simple and before all the techy ridiculousness
1. Koston 1 Es
2. Natas' Vita
3. Rowley's first Vans
4. Muska 1 Es
5. Kirchart's Emerica
I associated these with my progression of my skating back in the day. Tried loads of other shoes but these def have some specific memories to go with them.
PS: they should bring back those Natas' Vita shoes, one of the freshest skate shoes ever.
Kircharts 3 were so comfy! Loved those. Emerica - The Boss were similar to those. Great list dude!
First ever favorites were the Es Arto's, then Es Accels, but all time I gota say Emerica Reynold 3s. You could skate those RIGHT out the box and they still lasted! They had sick color ways and style. The Boss Emerica had his stuff dialed in! I'd wear them right now still if I could find some. Halfcabs are great too!
He puts the capital B in the Boss!
I got 4 brand new pairs im holding on , got the red baker 1s and 1 of the last blue g6’s that was a hard colorway to find , and then a normal teal and a cloudy baby blue/black pair, all size 9/9.5
Had a pair of Peter Ramondetta black and yellow C1RCAs when I was younger. My favourite shoe of all time, I wouldn’t take them off 😂
Stevie Williams first DC shoes was my fav back in the day. Still Slaps
DC Theory was so dope. Felt good and looked great
Fallen trooper has been my daily driver for years. Break in fast and fit like a sock if you get the suedes, and hold up all right. The tread wears down a little fast.
I really think my all around favorite has been the OG Adidas Busenitz. Comfort, style, great board feel. Also the Half Cab, OG Rowley and many different Lakai.
Agree best shoes ever !
Yeah I am on my 10th pair at least of the Busenitz shoe...
Definitely in my top 3 as well, amazing flick on those shoes.
i love adidas i skate the matchbreak
Totally ageee
Lakia had these pro series model shoes early 2000s. With like a insert that was made of spandex and it hugged your foot inside the shoe. It was soo dope they felt amazing
I got a prototype shoe using the tech from a "big brand", and you are so right, amazing feel. I got some feedback and it turns out its just Unprofitable to use this tech in a skate shoe, each pair sold would cost money, I threw the last pair away in 2007..........
Yes sir they just brought those back in the Cambridge model love them
Back then, Lakai's were only really sold in ccs. They were the mythical skate shoes for me as a teen that I always wanted but could never get.
I skated the Emerica Heretic 2's in almost every color way they made. I loved those. Definitely my favorite all-time skate shoe.
I grew up with the Reynolds 2, Kirchart 1 and 2, Heretics. I miss those. If they re-released either Kirchart 1 or 2, I would buy them in a heart beat.
All of Emericas pro model shoes from that era were iconic.
My black reynolds 2s with the light blue in the middle were some of my favorite shoes of all time.
20:11: I had the exact same one. Best one I ever had. Still rocking és to this day!
Adidas Busenitz pro with cup sole.. I will be 45 in a few months and skated with quite a few different brands and never ever will change since i skated with the Busenitz. Everyone is different and has a different shape of foot.
I used to go to Loma Vista hardware skate shop in KC every week when I was a kid. Best skate shop I have ever been to. RIP. 😩 That just brought back so many good memories.
The Guy Axion Aries I wore out so many. The blue on baby blues and the red, white, and blues were great too. Loved the feel and all the dope colorways. Also eŚ Accels, Halfcabs, Sal23, DC Lynx, and I really liked the Koston 2's as well. I started in '95 and I miss that era, from the 90's early 2000's skate shoes are my favorite. Also the OG Duff KCK'S were so dope with the white and gum sole.
The olive drab green bam audios for low tops and tan canvas ipaths for high tops were my faves back in the early 2000s
The SAL 20/23 was my favorite
I own Es
Accel slims
Accel slim plus
Accel OG
Symbols
Silo
EOS (J Kwon color way)
All I need is the Evant, Quattro, and Swift
All because Kelly, I ONLY skate Es
Can you recommend me a cupsole out of those
@@joe.nail1 So I personally liked the Accel OG best, but I would say Silo. Symbols look amazing but they’re not as comfortable as all the others. They’re all cup sole except EOS. Just know that they are almost all fat shoes that need a couple sessions to break in. But I couldn’t have a better recommendation than Es. I have plantar fasciitis on my pushing foot, and these shoes nearly take it away
@@thinglizzy2718 heard good about evant and quattro, its true es silo has great bottom
How the Rowley Classic didnt make the video is wild.... That shoe sells out every time its reissued. Every time... It also Truly paved the way for Vans to start creating all the similar shoes they now have. The TNT series took on the Rowley classic vibe after the shoe left the scene, then each skater's shoe after was like a copy of the Rowley with tweaks here and there.
1.Adio Kenny Anderson
2. es Koston 2
Used to skate a lot of Globes back in the day, Gershon Mosleys and CT-IV
Still skate Globes to this day, the Tilt and Fusion Globe shoes remain insanely durable and honestly don’t get enough love because they are “Fat Boy’s”!
Kenny Anderson V2 and the Adio Bam shoes were my favorite back when though. I miss the Adio brand!
As a retired street skater kid I can say the Jamie Thomas Fallen’s were my fav 🖤
Surprised not much of the Airwalk 1s in the comments. Maybe not the greatest but definitely one of my favorites from my era of skateboarding. Haven’t skate any of my Tiago 1010s yet but they’re mad comfortable in my casual use.
Guy Mariano’s first Axion white/yellow/blue (they just reissued it) was a tough shoe, the KCK Duffs blue with gum sole, i love the Jamie Foy NB (I have 11 pair of different color ways), the first Appleyard shoe Black with gum sole, any shoe from ES in the mid 90s, I also had a couple pair of Dukes but I’d always blow them out super quick, the Koston 1s, I never liked any of the DC shoes because they were just too bulky for me, no DVS either. I had a couple pair of the Mark Johnson shoe, and atleast 3 pair of the KCK Axions (the Brown with gum and the white with clear sole were my favorite). The Guy Mariano 2 but Black and red and the tan that you showed a picture of were my going out shoes because I never skated them. Good episode fellas
OG accels we’re my favorite for skating, but the red/grey and red/white Erik Ellington Emerica’s were my grail shoe. I loved that shoe so much.
So many good answers in the comments!
Etnies Maranas are the best shoes for skateboarding on the market hands down.
I also love Etnies Maranas and they are excellent shoes. Sole tech for life.
@@FeatSkateboards yeah but sole tech has also fucked up skate shoe design as much they have redeemed it. The idea that you need a paper thin shoe to "get better board feel" is ridiculous.
Your answer is 🔥
When it comes to style, comfort and flick, it has to be the OG éS Koston 3 shoe for me, in the royal blue/white or red/white colorway.
Skated these when they came out back in '99-2000, and really wish they would retro these.
🔥🔥🔥
The Evants are similar and what I’ve been skating, but they are not quite the same.
@@driftlessskater5475 I don't know how they feel like on foot, but the look is defenitely off for me. You can tell they tried to breathe new life into the K3, but they look like a cheap Chinese knock-off. Instead of keeping the dimensions and lines of the OG one... 😞😖
@@nicolasgoossens I think they legally can’t reissue them. None of the Koston line.
I can’t stop laughing at the pics he brought up for Jeron hahaha
The Adio Kenny anderson 1 were my favs and they come with a stash pocket to hide the weed haha
Considering that Hours is Yours just released, Im picking up my pair of Black/Grey Bryan Hermans. I believe this shoe may just be the best shoe ever made... Cant wait to see!! :)
So, so many great shoes were listed! Honestly for me it's a bit hard to say which were my faves while skating. When I first got on the scene, I wore a pair of DC Spartan Highs (Which were a size too big for me but I was a dumbass back then) I loved them. Then I got experimental and tried Pumas (Not even the suede! Was just a random puma shoe) I skated in it, wasn't bad wasn't the best but it felt cool.
When I got into Vans, I plugged in a lot of time wearing the Chukka lows. I tried Nike SB Dunks (Years ago before they are where they are now) and they felt cool but to me something was not quite right about wearing a swoosh. I tried AJ 1s, they had decent grip but a hefty price tag was a real no-no. Converse I had the worst luck in because of the sizing but, when I found my true size, I quickly fell in love with a pair of Cons Star Players. Though, Lakai for me holds a special place in my heart because I wore a pair of them on my high school graduation. It was a pair of Lakai Griffins (Orange and grey colorway) Everyone else had dress shoes but I was the one who came in with sneakers.
The first Bryan Herman's and the Reynolds 2's will always be my favorites!
“Damn those look weathered “🤣🤣 they didn’t have to do him like that 18:10
My all time most comfortable skate shoe was the eS mccrank ones. The rowley shams were also up there. And the first adidas Lucas Puig. Currently the adidas Puig.
My friend LOVED the Es McCrank shoes. He had a brown leather pair that he kept shoe gooing
@@RevanMartinez I’ve seen the Stevie Williams remakes out. Wishing they’d do the same for the McCrank. Classic shoe goo 😆
My favorite shoe over all those years is still the Etnies Lo Cut.
Surprised they did not mention the Etnies Natas Kaupas. Those were the shoe to have back in the day. I think Rodney had those on in the first plan b video as well. Now the big thing not mentioned about the Kostons is those I believe were the first skate shoe that had an air sole in them. I had so many pairs of those.
Great episode guys, I enjoyed it
Koston 1 and Jerry hsu mid for osiris were by far my favourite of all time for actual skating not appearance. I had 4 or 5 pairs of the es k1 cuz I was able to return and get a new pair 4 or 5x due a national stores policy at a time were I cudnt afford em.
Those Hsu’s skated sooooo good!!! Those and the DC reason we’re my faves
That colorway Chris doesn't recognize is 100% the Appleyard shoe. I would droll over them in CCS
Crob on that mandela effect 😂
Looks wise I'm surprised no one is talking about the DVS Kerry getz 3s. I bought three pair of the red/blacks in 2006. Such a good looking shoe.
Yo they were good I had the green and greys and they got stolen off my door step as a teenager 😂
They need to get Kerry on here ASAP. I bought a pair of Getz 1s from chomponkicks two years ago. 20 year old shoes I bought for 360 bucks lol. No regrets though.
I had the OG Kerry Getz shoes in 2002-2003 in grey/white. Easily one of my favorite shoes ever
The 2nd version of the Emerica Reynolds and I'm not partial towards Andrew he's like 6- 8 in my top ten and its not even my style. Idk how or why i was wearing that shoe in like 2002/03 or whenever. But that shoe was just solid af. I just remember it being light, Hella durable and fitting perfectly
Surprised that I haven’t seen anyone mention Janoski’s.
Those aren’t my favorite, but I remember there were a bunch of skaters who only skated Janoski’s for years.
This was rad! Had like 30 pairs of Reynolds 3’s in high school.
D3's for me are a shoe I think is really cool but I'd feel like a complete fool wearing them lol (my fav pair of skate shoes ever were the OG Adio Arenas, so sick and comfy!)
Half Cab, is the longest lasting for a reason. Best shoe all around, even if you don’t skate they are amazing and if you do they are Perfect.
Didn't get to skate in the OG Nike Koston 1 but on my second pair of the hypervulc variant and I love them so much. So comfy and tidy looking
eS Koston 3s. That shoe was amazing. Grey with the white soles and black with the white/red soles... So clean and had flick for days.
The shoes with the straps were HOT in the early 2000s also, the DC Avatars, the Ipath Grasshoppers. The straps kinda hanging off the side looked sick back in fhe day
Avatars and matecas were my favorite DCs
Koston 1 was the best! DC Howard, kareem kicks, Sal23 and the Adio kenny also. Lakai Soca, Manchester and the Telford low... but the koston 1 had the best feeling of all
Man, This was SO good. There’s people who would never understand this and that’s ok, but damn I love this kinda thing. I love you guys. My people. ✌️❤️
Imo the best looking one is the hightop Prod 7. Skates really good as well. Performance wise I'd have to go with the Es Swift 2(?). Very durable and nice board feel
Vans Rowley XLT hands down
If I owned a skate shoe company I am hiring Steezus for sure. This is one of the things I first learned about the guy after seeing videos and interviews with him. Dude loves his kicks.
Expect anything otherwise?
My pick is the ipath Kenny Reed low that looked like Air Force Ones in soft brown suede with the crisscrossed baseball stitching on the heel, rubber ipath quarter logo inlay, white foxing, and gum rubber sole.
Loved all the Rowley models so much. But my all time favorite were actually the Bryan Herman pro model 2 they had good padding, but good board feel, and the most important feature was the lace protector option. Those shoes lasted me so long. Also had a pair of Kirchart shoes that were very similar to the Herman pro model too.
im 26 so when I was skating as a kid it seemed everyone was wearing janoskis, I hated them personally since I have wide feet but they were everywhere
Not Me I Hated Janoski
Adidas Busenitz
yes! damn I loved those as a kid
I don't skate a ton but my favorite shoe of all time that is also a skate shoe would be some various versions of janoskis. Really like the mids I got as well as the original max, and the regular lows or remastered lows. Really comfy and stylish
I had some absolutely hagard looking Janoski mids, but damn did they skate good.
Creager es with the air bubble! Classic
My favourite is honestly the Nike SB Janoski. I like the Board feel. They're like the old Vans as well but I like them better as they're more light weight. I grew up with huge DC's and stuff in the 90's (although I had some old school vans as well) I don't know why I didn't just skate the Vans looking back though, Those big 90's shoes were so cumbersome.
Es Tom Penny 1, one of the best looking shoes for that time by far.
Didn’t see beige/tan in shoes that much back then , the penny’s were rad
@@colinpalmer7148 killer shoes…
The CM 901’s in BLACK! If you got a photo in them with the flash on they had a reflective effect which looked sick and I always kept my pipe in one and weed in the other. One of my all time favorites.
I think most vans designs are timeless. My favorite shoe of all time has to be the vans oldskool. Its a design that no matter what trends come and go, they still remain popular. So many colorways and collaborations using the design over the years. Another favorite of mine is the chukka low. Simple design similar to the chukka boot, but very comfortable. I never owned a pair but also the halfcabs will always be iconic. It was such an innovative design at the time. Cab said on this show even, he got it to happen because people were cutting his high top model and tapping it to have that mid top look
In the modern era I’d argue for the New Balance Tiago 1010s. Amazing looking shoe and skates just as well. Unique too.
How long did they last
@@macumetsalu4585 I bought them last july and I'm still skating them today. I'd also argue that the 306 (foys) are damn near indestructible as well.
@@BudaciousGreenThumb I just wish the 306 side walking was a little higher
Not the new Nyjah shoes ?!?
@@JS21810 It reminds me of the Nike Freeruns which were a cool shoe 10 years ago but they look dated.
Easily the Reynolds 3
got mine on rn
Sheffey 3 dvs, we’re my most comfortable. Learned the most tricks.
I still have all my shoes I ever bought since I was a kid.
Loved this episode
Am I the only one that got stoked on the saviers back when they dropped? Lol
I feel like you can’t talk about the best skate shoes without talking about the first ones, the vans authentic and the slip ons the single most copied shoes in skateboarding. Every major company has made a version of the authentic(or era) and most have made a slip on. Also suede era’s are one of the best skating shoe of all time
Not the new nyjahs ?!
Can't beat those Van's soles. Got a few pair from thrift stores for cheap and they are solid
I rode with Half Cabs for decades until Vans released the AVE Pro. Now that's all I ever wear when I ride. That steel-shanked, Superwaffle sole and the overall design is a perfect skate shoe, imo.
Nah impact protection is trash
Of the shoes that I had over the years - my all time favorites were the Osiris Flux, Adio Kenny Andersons, Circa AL202, any of the rowley XL models, and the forgotten DC Danny Way Aerotechs (shoutout to ipath grasshoppers too)
my favorite skate shoes of all time are (in no particular order) 1.) Reynolds 3s in leather (with the studs lol), 2.) janoski og’s in suede, 3.) vans chima pro 1 in suede. Prolly throw in the es Koston 3's too i had them in white and orange and i was super hyped to have them on my feet as a kid.
Gotta say I’m surprised tyshawn’s shoe not getting more recognition. Literally such a great looking shoe and has in my opinion a great balance between board feel me protection. Not to mention durability is far better than the average skate shoe. Top3 for sure
We’re talking about the classics here.
Chukka boot not the chukka low. The dunk is the all time best but slave labor is wack. I refuse to buy nike cons adidas now that I know what’s up.
Hey why am I shadow banned from the live chat? I have contributed content to the show and wanna know? I tried reaching out but whatever I did must be hella bad?
I tried skating a pair of dunk mids like 2008, poor boardfeel and bulky. Do these new sb dunks skate any good?
Loma Vista Hardware, what a blast from the past. You really felt like you knew the secret when you were there. The prices were super reasonable, and there was always a VHS playing down there. I remember getting the Black Cat video and a Maple board there; that was the beginning.
The Es Koston 1, Lakai Marc Johnson 1 & 2. My go to’s now are Half Cabs. Great discussion
Emerica Johnson > Lakai
Osiris D3s no questions asked. don't @ me
For me: original XLT Vans Rowley,Reynolds 3, Es Koston 1, Nike sb Koston, Chris Haslam The sabatoon( my favourite of all times I had 3 pairs ), and modern times. Probably DC Infite( currently sitting on 7 pairs).
The only shoe I ever went back to for performance was Fallen Patriots (might be the wrong model) in leather with the heel strap. This was in like 2005 but those shoes really had it all. The black gum suede was also classic but just not as durable. I don’t know if I’d even go back to them now. I would love to see a Velcro Dunk low, they made a Velcro blazer low a few years ago that I bet would be a dream. I think the true perfect skate shoe would be a NB 440 low in leather with a Velcro heel strap and better lace protection.
Fallen Patriots were the best. Definitely did my best skating in those! Also lasted me for years. I replaced the sole after it got worn down to make them last longer.
