Ah sorry didnt realise you meant specific pro designed chiller. Agreed, Jordans are Janoskis have been coopted but were both functional as basketball and skating shoes before chillers
I guess it depends on your definition of pro designed, if Greco does his range of image slippers and Ellington does his Hollywood nightlife collection I guess theyd count right? Assuming anyone buys them
They are quite pointed in the toe. Surprised me.
I had the OG ones years ago, but struggle to skate in cupsoles these days…so kinda need to avoid them otherwise would be into it.
He was on Puma, (or at least wore them a lot). He’s wearing Puma shoes and tees in the clip - that I didn’t look at too hard, but I’d assume that they were those skate specific Pumas that were about late 90’s-ish(?). There are Puma skate shoes about again ,(for better or worse). Maybe just get some Baskets/Clydes/States.
Was that his ‘pro shoe’? There were Puma ads around in mags back then, usually Donger featured but Dylan Gardener was on too at the same time, (I think). Scott Bourne had a shoe later on. Joey Brezinski was also hooked up by them. I think it was better when we were all buying Pumas for a few quid as bargain bucket leftovers in the early 90’s.
The first run of Kenny V.1s had gum soles.I’m a sucker for gum soles. I had a couple of pairs of those. Probably like low top moon boots to look at now though.
