Shoes You Snooze On

I am in no way a sneakerhead of any sort and usually don't put shit up of shoes but here are some kicks i've got lying around my room that I've accumulated over the past year and thought you guys would like to check them out, especially brands like Adidas and Converse which are fairly new.


These are a pair of Nike SB Classics that Johnny Tang gave me when I first started wearing Nikes. They got a pretty rad imprint pattern going on and I dunno, I feel kind of bad if I fucked them up skating.



Jay has a hook up at Converse and we went over there one day and they hooked us up with 2 pairs, this one and the ERX (below). I don't know how the fuck you can ever skate in these... looks like some sort of Supra ripoff mainly geared towards those in the "fashion" side of skateboarding. These are called the Weapons by the way. They are sick, if you're into these styles.


Vans Chukka Lows - good shoes that hurt your heels. Change the insole. These are part of the fall 09 collection. You can never go wrong w/ Vans.


I traded my roommate upstairs a pair of Janoski's for these. Since he rides for and is paid by Adidas, he got a LOT of shit for just attending parties and going to the clubs in the Nikes. I on the other hand havn't had a chance to wear these but god DAMN they look good to skate in. I don't know why Adidas' aren't bigger in the States... come on', look at Busenitz.


My imperial slippers I got when Tyler was in town in Old Shanghai. Fuck they are so sick, but I never wear them. Good thing they were like $1 US.


These shoes are so rad. They have some sort of memory foam/tempurpedic technoogy in the insoles and tongue. Super comfy. But probably shitty to skate in is what I've heard. Too soft. I've never been so keen on shoes w/ straps though... what's the deal? Anyway, if you get a chance, these shoes would be worth it to try out. Called the ERX 300
