I like Lakai but Im not sure “branding” is a feature worth shouting about in marketing
And shouldn’t that sizing be 5–14?
They’re going after the football hooligan demographic with this one
Are they not calling it the persons name so they can still make it after the inevitable buggering off.
Maybe it’s not possible or they just can’t be bothered but I think slimmed down versions of their original line up would do really well. The Staple is a classic and always looked good on film.
Anyone skated Etnies in the last few years? What with Ben Degros raving about them and the recent Shecks hype, I’m tempted to give the Marana’s a try as people seem to speak highly of them, albeit in hushed tones.
Failing that it’ll be a new pair of Westgate’s…
Often tempted by I can never find a cheap and not ugly pair when I’m after new shoes. The first Joslin looks good too, second one is a bit shapeless.
@nazoreth is your man
Marana’s for about a decade or so
dunno about the hushed tones. everytime i meet another skater in Marana’s we hug and make out because we’re so great.
they’re like any classic cupsole really - take awhile to break in but last forever. they’re a great shape and flick well. i like flippy tricks and they’re perfect
short summary - would marry these shoes if i wasn’t already married (not to a shoe)
They need to reissue the RCT

And shouldn’t that sizing be 5–14?
It means half sizes stop at 12
ID on Gino’s footwear?
Comfy ones he brought from home?
Black wallabees?
Shoe Zone £19.99 pleather pork pies?
The fraying edge on his trousers, the too long length and the fact he hasn’t even turned up the cuffs is stressing me out
As a photo it definitely has “Paul Weller and Ronnie Wood are a pair of lost grannies” vibes
I am not one to judge but fucking hell is that a photo of Gino not looking particularly cool?
