It's so obvious that guy doesn't know how to skate.

Get some vans era pros

>>9984162
M8 that's Alex Olson he's pretty good at what he does

And not looking for shoes just tees and Jeans already have some Grant Taylor Nikes they're max comf

>>9984150
no such thing
wear whatever cheap shit you dont mind trashing
>>9984162
thats alex olson you fucking dunce

>>9984180
Haha that's what I've been doing you got a point

>>9984180
>>9984170
Well he's not legit skating. He's trying to get a good photo. He probably just cavemanned to get the "good" proportions.

>>9984162
hahaha you're so fucking dumb

bump

>>9984162
Fuck Vans dude, like Vans will live for like 2 weeks tops. I recommend Nike SB, fucking hate the commercial milking company, but fuck, they last long. My Janoski Lunars lasted 3 months.

>>9984162
b8

>>9984777
This guy here. I hate how everyone wears these but they are actually really good shoes. That vans is bait I hope, they make the worst skate shoes ever, they are as durable as fucking Walmart op shoes
Pic not related

>>9986640
>they make the worst skate shoes ever
I disagree
They aren't very durable sure but they are GOAT until they rip apart
Also they have the wafflecup models that are way more durable than the average pair of Vans.
I mostly skate cupsole Emericas myself.

How are converse cons for skating?

and speaking of cons, does anyone know where I can still cop a pair of the polar skate co X converse cons? I'm so mad that I slept on them when they came out :/

how should i repair my skate shoes?

has anyone used shoe goo? is it good?

>>9986645
>goat until they rip apart
babby's first skate
>>9986682
Pretty bad, the toe just doesn't communicate well with the grip if you know what i mean

if anyone wants the best skate shoes ever made, get adidas busenitz. mine have lasted over 2 years, they have a hole on the front but it looks gnar and has no effect on how i skate

Absolutely no support for your feet in any possible way. In no way do I recommend

>>9986852
>get adidas busenitz. mine have lasted over 2 years,
>babbys first skate in the same post
get a load of this guy

>>9986852
Man if a skate shoe lasts you two years you're doing something wrong

>>9986793
Yes shoe goo. Put some on the Ollie area and then smooth it out with an ice cube. This ice cube makes the end result smooth and keeps your hands from getting sticky.

>tfw havent skated in years
>tfw fuck it im buying on
>tfw fun as fuck even if i can barely ollie up a curb
man, why did i ever stop

>>9987443
i know some of these feels, been thinking of getting back on skateboard, although I was never good with it

Ive been getting gildan tees as michaels for years for $3. They have more colors available than walmart and you dont have to inhale kids oily dorito farts to get them.

>>9987617
*at

Most of the people there are grandmas buying scrapbook shit and no nigs.

uniqlo jeans

5% elastane, fucking godsend

>>9986852
>2 years

The shoes go on your feet... you know this, right?

>>9986852
2 years? are you doing nothing but no comply's and shuvits?

Pants
> Israeli surplus
>hm jeans
Shoes
>chucks from Nordstrom rack
Shirts
>hm shirts a size too big
>thrifted anything

>>9987562
I'm decent at skating I got a few alright tricks been skating for 4 years but it's so fun just to push around i say start back up again man it's the best

vans and supras are goat skate shoes and can be found super cheap everywhere.

I actually skate in a pair of nudies when its colder they were cheap as fuck and too big hopefully they will have some sick fades when I wash them. Jeans with some stretch material are best tho.

Also please remember to support your local skate companies and buy their decks!!! and to ride indies and bones.

>>9987443
I used to be actually good at skating in high school, and just out of it. then i blew out my foot. a few years later im such utter shit that it hurts to go skate with my friends because I can barely do any flip tricks besides hardflips.

its really hard to find the motivation to go skate, but so much fun once you get out. I just wish I never got hurt.

>>9989529
>supras

you are the kid that nobody likes. I doubt you're skating in their ski-his but even their lows are fucking awful and most people I know look at supras as fuckin osiris shoes.

>>9989564
these shoes own so fucking hard for skating and they look fine in 100% of skating fits idk what youre talking about

>>9984180
>no such thing
>wear whatever cheap shit you dont mind trashing

This. You might as well invest in nice jeans and a bunch of basics from uniqlo, H&M, or hunt around thrift shops - it's not gymnastics, but dress comfortably and see what local skaters are wearing.

I know that Zumiez is supposed to cater to the "skate life aesthetic", but I think a lot of people who buy from there don't even skate. DCs look nice, but they run narrow and their quality have been dwindling over the years. You might as well as get some AirWalks from Payless. Iirc, they're from the same parent company.

>>9989564
Supra's are good dude. Osiris's are pretty good too idk why they have this much hate. >>9984150
op um just thrift clothes and wear core skate brands like FA and BIanca Chandon etc. They make clothing they actually wear. Thats what you want.

Basically, the stuff that the skaters who skate all the time wear, wear that. Converse cons are really good for a specific skate style... idk.... if you skate a certain way they may rip easily. Just don't skate fake "hesh" and you're good. Um, the real skate vans are good... not the regular ones. What else....um everyone says busenitz are really good so try a pair.....and nike shoes are really good so try those out. Invest in Shoe goo. As soon as your shoe starts ripping APPLY IT.

>>9984777
true

>>9984150
vans are pretty cheap and look good, duribilty is shit
nikes, are comfy and look gud but the pairs ive had last about a month
adidas is a hit or miss had shoes last for 3 months and some 2 weeks, like their image doe

>>9984150
I bought a boilersuit so that I can bail and save my good clothes. Cost $30 for the whole thing, it's more durable than any standard clothing and if you're not autistic you can turn it into an outfit.

You'll have to alter it though to get taper, otherwise it looks like shit. I left mine pretty loose so that I can still wear jeans under it but i'm beginning to think I should have just made it slim fitting as fuck.

>>9990459
i cant picture that looking good, do you have a photo?

>>9990459
I don't unfortunately. If you've ever seen skaters in overalls it's basically that look plus long sleeves. Google it possibly

>>9990574
whoops meant to reply to >>9990544

a jacket/sweater u don't care about messing up

a t shirt

dickies 876

there are many options for shoes but i skate chucks because grip + feel

>>9990459
hahahhaha

i am not knocking it because i know just about anything can look good if styled correctly

but the mental image i get in my head is hilarious

>>9990574
could you post a pic like tomorrow or whenever? im pretty curious, and google images came up with nothing tbh

>>9990584
I would but tbh I'm a bad example of it, I'm too skinny to pull it off. It's a really masculine look, and I've got every feminine feature I could get my hands on cos I just liked it better on me. I remember some arab dude or some shit posted a pic with just a boilersuit, white T underneath and timbs and it looked pretty good.

Here's a pic of Das Racist rocking it, I've seen both of the guys on the right wearing them, only Heems hasn't. That's pretty much how I would style it. I might post a pic tomorrow if I decide I don't look too shit in it.

>>9990584
Here's Dapwell wearing the one he always wears

is 20 too old to learn how to skate (gf is buying me a board for my 20th, cos i always wanted to, but no cash)

>>9990678
If you are not clumsy as fuck it's never too late.

>>9984162
dude..... thats alex from paych. watch what you say god damn it he was in paych

>>9984150
shirt: white tees and thrifted shit
pants: dickies (874 and slim straight are my fav) or cheat shorts from h&m or something
shoes: huf classic/ most nike sb (gato, gt blazer, bruin are all great)
hat: 6 panel/ strap back hat

>>9984150
dickies for pants. literally no other pants will last as long, and for that price! and amazon prime?!?!?!!??!?!!?!?!?1

>>9990875
too hot in the summer???? cut those things off into shorts cause they're cheap as fuck!!!!!!!!

>>9990879
they also have like any fit you need baggy, straight, slim, slim taper, skinny. and they got some with stretch in it too so if you buy any other pants you're retarded.

Why are you guys talking like Vans, Nike and Adidas are the only possible choices? There are dozens of skateshoe manufacturers. Most of them more appropriate for skateboarding.

EW GRANT TAYLRS I HAVE RESPECT FOR HIM BUT SHOES UGLY AF

can anyone here actually do a kickflip

just landed an inward down a 7 set saturday >>9991580

heel

I usually skate in my suede authentics levis and random t shirt and beanie or hat to keep my hair out of my face

Etnies for skate shoes, durable af. Mine lasted about a year of daily before Ollie toe.

>>9991564
They are a modified Nike Blazer low, they look so nice

>>9991564
Pretty comfy durable and very sleek 10/10

>>9991580
Yeah m8 I'm pretty decent

>>9984162
do you even supreme cherry?

>>9984188
olson has mad pop you kook gtfo

>>9984150

>>9992382
nice

i'm back on my board and stood the trick that i hurt myself doing :^)

>>9986947
>>9987657
>>9989084

my shitty grip tape wore out

>>9986863
what's so bad about busenitz?

lakais

>>9994386
The implication was that if your shoes last 2 years you really have no place to call anyone else new to skateboarding because that is practically impossible if you skate even semi regularly.

Everyone in this thread is a faggot. Converses are for cunts who wish they were Sean Pablo and just do no complys because it's cool bro. Nike is for people who have no idea what to choose and are alright with supporting terrible quality of shoes in return for durability.

>>9994385
then buy a sheet of griptape and re-grip it

>>9993426
True

wear clothes you don't care about. Draping yourself in skate brands is lame when you aren't sponsored. I buy whatever suede vans are on sale at the local skate shop
