NEW SHOES THREAD

You sure they didn't bring the BA out of the Savier archive??!

good to see BA is officially out of the closet. happy for him

hahaha... exactly what i said to grayson when i saw it ^^^

Pretty into those BA nikes even tho they are the opposite of anything I've bought to skate in ( well in the last 8 years anyway). Are those red ones a new p rod shoe?

Yep ^^^ the ba and the prod come in standard black and white too

Those Globe The Panther shoes dont look too bad in the ads up the top. Feedback anyone?

I don't know but the last globes I had... Apple yard vagrants a few years back were good as

I saw apples current shoe in Fast times today it looks horrible, puffy round toe box and the shape/stitching/quality doesn't look good.

Those new P Rods and BA's aren't looking very good either, the Koston 2 is ugly as well. Nike is blowing it at the moment. As long as they keep making Janoskis the same they are taking my money though haha.

Another sporting shoe company now coming to skateboarding.

Fuck yeah Chima is getting a shoe thats sick

Any more pics of the Chima, Drew?
something inbetween an era/type 2 is my guess.

puma cvo


cue the
"whats a vans ripoff, looks like an era blah blah............."

They do have an av6 look to them

they deffinatly do.

they also kind of look like these new(ish) marc johnson lakais too (just minus the toecap)

also anybody has adidas silas pro 2s? how do they go compared to the lucas and busenitz pro models?

Busenitz are rad.. Lucas are radder, way rad, these I'm yet to try

The side profile of those shoes makes me think of a bird, Lakai maybe a dodo, Puma maybe something else like a duck. Probably skate ok though, but the Puma has all that side stitched part right where the ollie wear / hole would be, so it would probably make the shoe come apart faster.

Been skating 'The Flick' for past month, really enjoying them and holding up well.


I want to try Deklines, anyone recommend a pair?

Yeah Deklines new range is really good, they've really picked up their quality of shoes. I haven't tried them out, but the Dekline 'Mason' looks really good. simple with a thin collar, vulc sole and one piece toe cap with the Janoski stitching around the nose. Keen to try a pair out.

^ Had a sample pair of Masons from Goliath, some of the best shoes i've ever skated. Lasted ages, skated super good and were comfy as fuck. Definatley worth a look.

has anyone skated that marc johnson shoe pictured above?

Puma shouldnt have messed with anything. Clydes are sick.
