said it once, will say it again, narrow boards just look better

That is a particularly good example. Iād just say people have taken the bigger boards thing too far in the last few years but each to their own 
Foy and Zion are the type of skaters that make big boards fine. it works well for their type of handrail destruction. otherwise iāll always prefer that 90s style

Looks like a pair of Recon, the first DC hiking boot, but I bet itās definitely not.
I nearly posted exactly the same thing, did you see that golden era collector post too? That kid is also wearing lynx so I reckon they might well be recons

Wow. I didnāt. I had a pair of those (or maybe the other ones - Stevie was chilling in the ad anyway) at the time and loved them so much I was scared to even wear them. Wore them a couple of years ago to go up a hill for some stupid fucking reason (wearing those, and going up the hill in the first place) and obviously the glue had gone.
You canāt tell here but the sole was hanging off. This photo is like when they put make up on a corpse.

There were 2 different ones out at the time iirc, think I got both pairs and they lasted forever. So good.
I recall my Recon came from HSC.
I wish I still had them but Iāve got a pair of perfect swishy cargo DC trousers (with the five-pointed star) that I always thought would be worth keeping too. Thatās from when you could smoke in pubs and clubs so thereās no way theyād have survived, hence āstockingā rather than ārockingā but I canāt imagine anybody caring much about them now, and I donāt really want to wear them because Iāve got almost exactly the same thing except with a nowadays company name on them, annoyingly.
I feel like Iām about to jettison a lot of old gear.
Only old gear Iāve got is a shortys muska rising sun t-shirt someone was giving away on a group for postage. I just have it hanging it my wardrobe. Probably never going to wear it.
that dude goldeneracollector buys a lot of stuff, might be an idea hitting him up

I moved from 7.5 to 7.75 about a decade ago because it was increasingly difficult to find good shapes for smaller decks. Otherwise its all good
Might get a 7.75 too seems fun.

Only time I bought anything bigger than 7.75 I flogged it to Hugo because I couldnāt deal with it.
