The Genesis is nice and they slimmed it down quite nicely, the rest look like Supras or a just any old boring vulc model though.
The others just look like templates from the factory.

I don’t remember any Axions looking good, they just had a good team but also, a team that didn’t seem to do that much at the time.
I don’t know why they don’t just release all the KC models, loads of people would buy those if they’re to the same standard as one good design.
Everybody seems to say that half a size up is the way to go, but not in my experience. I got a pair of 420s about a year ago, ordered half a size up and they were too big. Returned them and they were fine. Ordered 2 more pairs (uk10) from another store and they were fine.
Those new Westgates look dope by the way.
I think they’re too much like Workout to get away with it, now that Reebok are pushing Workout into the same market.
I think we should just be lucky they existed at all.
I’d actually love to see a Reebok skate line, I guess it didn’t go too well for them last time though. Better stick to that CrossFit market.

Yep. Every pair of NB I get I always get a UK 9 and they fit absolutely fine. I also get UK 9’s from other brands so I think their sizing is sorted these days.
I guess it depends on the foot, no one is exactly the size you buy. My NB’s are a tad tight so could have done with half a size up.
Looking at the P Rods they were maybe just a couple of years too early, as put a decent colour way on those and they’re a banging shoe.
Yeah. As far as I remember they were only that colourway, and triple black. White and gum would work with those materials, nowadays. They’re super comfy too, although they’re really wide at the front. Ideal if that’s your thing, though.

Black with white details or white and gum like you say, all white with red tick would be banging. Strange if they only did one colour. Was that the 10? Presume that’s him done for pro models now.
Other than his first one, white with the air bubble, I don’t think I can remember any of his pro models.
That’s the 8. First one I’d noticed since the second one, pretty much. The first two were the shit, and the first one did come back briefly ages ago, but I don’t understand why they can’t reup those old ones rather than now having double-figure numbers of pro models nobody really seems to want. Unless they’re huge in US malls or something.
Had he made a janoski level of popular shoe it may of been a different story I’d imagine. He never really made a classic at all.
The 1 or the 2 could have lasted though, could have been in the normal line. Then they just started getting gimmicky and horrible. I got my 8s from an outlet, and those were meant to be future of skate shoes or whatever the fuck.

Nothing will be worse than the Koston 3. I get it probably functions great, but looks the absolute worst!

The first P-Rod was a great shoe for skating, the sole in particular is one of the best I’ve seen, the design wasn’t the best though. The only other one I liked was the 7th:
Only seemed to come in silly colours though.
And toebox looks massively long
Looks like a pair of kidneys
