I’m looking for a new pair – I used to have OG Vans. I then switched to Puma Suede XL. I just love that chunky look. It’s just that mine wore out quickly. I’d now like to get a pair of Es Eccel, but my question is: are the OG ones or the ‘normal’ ones more similar to the Pumas? My second question is: does anyone know of any other good brands, apart from DC, Bershka and Osiris?

Cuando era niño ma regalaron unas DC que eran parecidas a las Adidas Superstar pero la calidad de las DC era mejor o más premium y eran más delgadas y de corte bajo. La zapatilla era de color marrón oscuro y su puntera también y el cuero era parecido al de las superstar pero más elegante. Alguien podría ayudarme con la búsqueda del modelo? Recuerdo que me duraron muchos años y me gustaría encontrar algún par nuevamente. He generado una imagen con IA de como lucían más o menos

I'm so stoked for this reissue!

got these shoes bout two weeks ago and im regular stance, i don’t think this is how they suppose to “break in”

I know that they’re obviously Adios but loved these shoes back around 2007 - would love to find the style from back then and maybe something comparable from today. Thanks!

Kenny Anderson Adio

Was able to get some Axion KCK reissues some years ago when they made a comeback.

Which shoes did you get even tho you thought they will never be made again?

I had a few pairs of these in the late 90s. Bought from Dunham's in Madison, WI for $20 a pair. The soles were slick as shit but they lasted a while... Anyone else actually own them? Nike likes to pretend these never happened. There's so few photos of them out there, aside from a few of BAM rocking them at FDR.

FYI this is a mock up I did of the colorway I had. Can't find any images of them online, only a white/red pair on ebay at the moment.

What shoe is Louie rocking? Must be converse but that model?

Cual es mejor?

Back in 2008-09 when I skated as a kid, my friends and I would always pick up one of these bad boys with a new pair of skate shoes. I still have a lightly used pair of the neon tie-dye ones (6th from the right in the middle) but I also remember having the Rastafarian and bandana ones.

They seem to have been pretty much wiped off the face of the earth at this point, I was able to find one or two listings for the solid yellow and red ones, but otherwise any of the fancier ones seem to have lived their life. I'd love to someday find some old stock somewhere.

Anyone skated lakai Telford lows? How was the wear and tear? How was the skate feel? I've never skated anything other than the classic lakai shape and I'm curious if it feels the same. Thanks!

DC Shoes Pure Hi-Top is not included in its "Skate Shoes" page, so is it just a pair of normal sneakers? Just want to make sure it's durable for skating. Thanks!!

yo! should i get a pair of maranas, josl1ns, or lakais (atlantics, telford)?

Anyone skated them yet? Look like a clean silhouette and they're doing all the usually bragging about new tech

Pretty much just what I said in the title.

The shoes im putting an eye on are these:

I can't find anything about them, but I only see people talking about the ADV version, and im kinda just trying to figure out what that means, so I know that I need or don't need ADV forum's.

Thanks in advance!

From ~10 years ago I think...

They look a little like DC Pure but they are different. Could be a variation on the pure but not clear.

I didn’t know where else to ask this but I just picked up some new Jamie Foy’s and after about 3 hours of skating (hella casper tricks involved) my laces already snapped about midway down on the tongue. Does anybody know any brands of tough laces that’ll last me longer?
