I usually wear converse. I have white, red and yellow high tops and white low tops that I kind of want to spray paint silver. I really want to get purple high tops, but they seem pretty hard to find. I need get things other than converse. :/

I also have some black and leopard print flats, but I never wear them because they're a bitch to walk in... worse than heels. D:

^How good at skating are you?

I have a pair of green size 8 chucks. They fit me, but they're getting tight, as I wear 9's now.

FaSho 11-28-2008 03:31 PM

Tiny. I wear 10's. So my converse size is like 9. I really want the orange ones, but have yet to find them anywhere.

dac 11-28-2008 03:35 PM

I can usually be found wearing something like this around this time of the year... size 13

FaSho 11-28-2008 03:35 PM

Good enough. I can do what I need to to impress my non-skating friends(Kickflips, heelflips, shove-its etc.), but not nearly as good as my skating friends. I tried to do a Christ Air once, and broke my nose.

Alfred 11-28-2008 03:36 PM

Lol, I'm absolutely dreadful compared to you. I can do the odd shuvvit, indy's, and I'm working on rock-to-fakie. Kickflips and heelflips are over my head. But I love skating.

FaSho 11-28-2008 03:41 PM

The whole "Skate Clothes" thing is s cliche now.
Most of the dudes at my school dress like this:
http://unitedstateonline.com/ONLINES...E/ORISUEad.png
And about three of them even own a skateboard.

@Alfred, kickflips come way easier then heelflips IMO. And I wish I could do an Indy I'm terrible at anything that involves grabbing the board.

Alfred 11-28-2008 03:58 PM

Indy's are friggin' easy. All you have to do is hook your fingers onto it for a split second.

And I agree with you on skate clothes. Me and a couple friends skateboard, but no one else does, and a lot of them wear skate clothes.

A few of them also have better skate shoes than me and wouldn't dream of touching a board.

My fav pair of Vans Ive ever owned. I skated them to shreds though, and it's near impossible to find to the hi top version these days. :(

Bought these a while back. They're the best running shoes I've ever owned.

Surell 11-30-2008 06:38 PM

I just got my new Timberlands. They're the scuff proof kind, though they have mud on em right now.

Double X 11-30-2008 06:49 PM

I have had the same pair of shoes for almost two years now, they were a little big when I first got them and have adjusted to my feet because they are so worn out. Some white sneakers by new balance.

Astronomer 11-30-2008 07:41 PM

I just bought these
http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/p...-hope-chuc.jpg
but I'm too scared to dirty them so I mainly where these

I am cliche.

Surell 11-30-2008 10:41 PM

Those psychedelic Chucks are hardcore. I saw a few cool ones at Journey's. One had Ozzy from Black Sabbath Vol. 4 on it, one said We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll, one had Jim Morrison, and one had the Doors on it. I love Chucks.

FireInCairo 11-30-2008 11:10 PM

I have a zillion pairs of black converse in lows and his
1 pair of 80's new old stock weapons in white
1 pair of limited edition tweed nike hi-top dunks
1 pair of bathing ape sta low cuts in whatever superheroe is yellow, blue and red.

Surell 12-02-2008 10:14 PM

Probably Superman Bapes. I want the Batmans. Fire knows his ****in shoes now.

Those dunks remind me: I really want the MF Doom Dunks.

Fruitonica 12-04-2008 07:57 PM

A bit of a change from the main idea of the thread, but I picked these babies up in Brisbane a week ago. I've only climbed them a few times, but so far I love them.

http://www.sportiva.com/images/produ...mantis_379.jpg

Also, I'm probably going to get back into skating now that school is over and I saw a pair of Vans that made me drool.

Surell 12-04-2008 08:19 PM

Those are the wildest shoes I've seen in awhile.

dac 12-04-2008 10:26 PM

Does everyone on MB skate?

Laces Out Dan! 12-04-2008 10:32 PM

I really havent that much the last 6 months or so. But I skateboarded just about everyday for probably..6 years.

Ive probably skated 20 different brands over the years. Mostly stick to Chocolat and Girl now.

Actually, they're pretty mild as far as climbing shoes go. But yeah, I definitely wouldn't want to walk around in them.

I generally switch brands every time my board breaks, just to try something new. Armourdillo is probably my favourite brand though.

sweet_nothing 12-05-2008 03:05 PM

Since we're talking about skating does anyone else here buy shoes from their fav skater, like mines Geoff Rowley so when ever he comes out with some new shoes i'll more than likey get them.

jackhammer 12-05-2008 03:35 PM

Do I seem like to the type to skate? I just like chunky trainers that's all. I could always start wearing smart shoes and slippers as befitting a man of my age lol

True that.

And I don't skate, but I got some Osiris' in the closet. Got too cold for them. Supra's a tight brand too.

jackhammer 12-10-2008 09:38 AM

Haha these are awesome.

jackhammer 12-10-2008 03:30 PM

They give me a few extra CM's in height too lol

Surell 12-11-2008 09:50 PM

Those things would make me tremble in my britches.

pianokeys 12-11-2008 10:09 PM

I think if I saw you on the street I would be seriously scared of you :D

Fallen's a pretty hardcore brand.

spark10036 12-14-2008 04:42 PM

I have 8 all-stars which are in an ok-to wear condition, but for the last six months or so, I've been sporting this babies which I'm proud of:

simplephysics 12-14-2008 04:47 PM

I got these more so for the luls than anything else, but I still feel pretty badass when I wear them. Less blue and white and more grey and black.
