Jason Jesse's Shoe on Vans

[Emergen C.]

well i myself love ugly ass shoes
they look better than fucking no skool vans
but no skools are the best skate shoes i've ever own

[polly@bbt]

hi tops=broken shins.

[C H U C K]

hi tops=broken shins.

I skated in them for 20 years and survived.


Seems like everyone had a pair of these at one time.

[polly@bbt]

Fuck that, man, they scare me.  I might wear some mids (half cabs) but even those make me nervous.  I'm so used to my ankles rolling that I can walk it off, but with hi tops or sky tops I think there'll be no room for my ankle to bend if I fall on it, so my shin will snap.  Whether it's physically possible or not, they scare the shit out of me.  Idk.

[C H U C K]

It was just a time (late 70's through the mid 80's) when they were the skate show. I wore high tops til the mid 90's as they were the shoe I was most comfortable with.

[polly@bbt]

and they never made it more awkward or fuck your shit up more when you bent your ankles hard? 

[C H U C K]

Nope. There is still a lot of give and actually provided padding for my ankles when I got the dreaded ankle bite.

[polly@bbt]

haha word shark bite sucks.

[C H U C K]

This guy would have been cool had he been wearing some old school vans.

[polly@bbt]

Here's the guy that WAS wearing them!  See?  his ankles couldn't just roll and this is the carnage as a result.  He now exclusively rip sticks.

[C H U C K]

Get a pair of these babys.

[the WORMER]

they could have protected him from brown recluse spider bites

[C H U C K]

Alright this thread is getting as ugly as those Santa Cruz Pumas.......

[the WORMER]

[polly@bbt]

Get a pair of these babys.
