NEW SHOES THREAD

Should probably mention that I've never skated a set of janoski's but have been hearing a lot of complaints in regards to the quality lately, wanted to know if other people had experienced this, or is it just these cunce having a whinge for no reason.

I had my first pair of Stefan 2 years ago and it held up so well. Last year one of me mate had his Janoski blew out on the toes already and it was hardly skated in. You maybe right imgne_

janoski enthusiast had this hilarious comment to say on rippedlaces.com


"alrght first of all you guys dont skate it the right way theyve been OG since they were first made i will admit they wear fast but do some fucking grind tricks and stop flipping your board like a child with down syndrome jesus fucking christ the zoom air was the best thing that ever happend to the Classic Janoski and the whole i mean the WHOLE nike skateboarding team. why dont you stick to your fucking foam ass vans and leave the SBs alone. before you talk down to janokski get your facts up amigo"

i posted this before in the wrong thread what do you cunts think of these? they have a reversible insole and loads of holes so you can run them sockless. personally i prefer to wear socks. you get a book bag too

@imgne_ Yeah the quality has actually dropped, I've noticed it with certain colour ways the suede is slightly thinner causing the perforated holes around the toe box to rip. It all started when they stopped using leather laces too. There was a thread about this on Slap I think.
The main colour ways I've noticed the problem happen in, was the black/graphite (regular black with dark grey tick) and deep ocean swan (black leather and blue suede two tone.) However I've skated that many pairs my self and have never had it happen. blah blah I'm an extreme sb head.

Mattyc those are sick. There are eras with the same features in a poo/wee colour I posted a while back. But suede sided old skools are always going to be sick and anything that lessens swamp foot is a bonus

Ive had one pair recently blow out on the inner toebox perferations in 2 days of skating. If they fuck up just take them back to the shop and get them to send them back to nike, they should credit them.

for those who dont check ripped laces.

nyjah

new baca chucks... lunarlon now in the trapassos, KA's, CTS, CTAS Pro, etc etc.

Do they come in suade drew? Keen for them on me feet

That Nyjah shoe looks heinous, the shape, the stitching... Not a fan. The Wes looks real good though and I like it in that olive colour.

seriously, who would buy that Nyjah shoe.

seriously, who would buy that Nyjah shoe.

Hoards of teenagers who have been skating for a year or 2 and don't know any better.

P.s Drew, are you going to be getting in those stranger vans? My feet need those.

id say the Nyjah would also be bought be people who have been wearing thin shoes for the last couple of years and are sick of foot pain.

more ripped laces copying.
more dislike expected.

New Balance Numeric

I'm 100% not backing New Balance jumping on the skate scene, but realistically they do look like a good shoe. Heaps similar to a Koston and I bet they will be ones of those brands that last so much longer then the 'core' skateboarding footwear companies.

I thought Lunarlon was like a Nike trademark they invented kind of thing? Both those DC's look yuck

converse is owned by nike i believe
