Again? I loved them even though the stitching on that ollie area rubbed my little toe like buggery.
That’s why I went to accels when they came out and never looked back since. I did really like the Sal boots though and have some reissue ones in white.

This is the first time that they are being done ‘properly’, with Sal involved and built in the same way as the original.
Reissues to date have had different toe boxes, soles, etc.

Had a pair back in 2005 or so. They were great, always liked filming in them as the sole didn’t screech when I’d try to slow myself down shooting a line.
Bought another pair of rereleases in 2017, didn’t fit right for some reason.
Not bad in my opinion I’d give a pair a shot this time around
Just seen a black gum pair looking real good
Those are one of the best shoes to skate in, very good feel and comfort

That’s good to hear I plan on picking up a few this time around
Wrong FC OG not classic
I prefer the classic
Ewwwwwwwww. Strictly OG. Classic got a proper 6.0 vibe

Any recommendations on some plain white chillers? I’ve been rocking Stan Smith Vulcs solidly for a few years now but looks like they’ve stopped making them. Was thinking New Balance 22s might be worth a look.

I bet OG FCs are not as nice as you remember

I like the NBs, they are very wide fit which I’m into. White ones look a bit odd to me though can’t put my finger on exactly why. My current white vulc of choice is the Last Resort Milic/Mango shoe in white.

Yeah same, the square toe looked different at first but once I started wearing NB on the regs I was sold. Wide foot wankers ftw.

You’re right, It feels like there’s loads of space, even though my toe is close to the front. They also feel at least a half size too big - I bought my regular size, which is annoying.
They look good on foot though, I like the seam and the suede feels quite nice. Sole feels a bit slippy tho.
Haven’t skated in them yet, so jury is still out
Been drooling over Superstars. They rereleased the pro shell skate version recently as well. They look shit in all the pics but I have an OG pair in black I got in early 2000s and they still look siiiiick. Go with virtually anything.

Yeah they’re a weird one, I got a pair for a tenner off vinted. Skated once and stuck em back on Vinted
I’ve been a big fan of Superstars for years. They still give mid-90s Rob Shelly vibes. But the big toe on my push foot is fucked these days (don’t know of that’s a common problem) so not sure how the shell toe would work out. Whilst looking at NBs I did see the all black Tiago which look dope as fuck.

No they are. They are bigger than you think, have a trashed pair on Stand Up Speak Ups somewhere still.
The Lunargato was probably better.
But Adidas Super Aloha is the one. Doesn’t feel like wearing a shoe.
KA One Vulc was good.
