Haha! I could sell them on ebay as a super rare McDonalds high school all-american basketball shoe!
Lol, just remember you didn't get that idea from me. :happy0180:

Haha I liked the company up until they dumped the quality. As for the shoes? I own the grey ones, but the other colors don't really go with anything. They are also kind of big for skate shoes. Very comfy though.

I see... I see, so you're or was a skater kid then? And yeah I wasn't to fond with their colorways, still nice, but they weren't my style.

I say the best skate shoes from what I can remember back in my skater days was Nike SB's, Lakais, Supras, DC's, Enties, adidas (indoors), and Jordan 1 shoes.

SB were the worst shoe to skate on, next to VANS(worst heel cushioning). SB shoes has a bad design for an ollie wear-spot. Etnies or es` have been my favorite to skate on, specially SAL23 and es` Rick McCrank and Kostons(before he jumped to NIKe); and I had Josh Kalis' DC Shoes first pro model, those lasted me a whole year of skating. Oh, Adio's Kenny Anderson and MUSKA pro models were very comfortable too, before he went with Supra.

You're not wrong about the comfort when in comes to SB's, but imo they were not about that. It was all about the feel and most brands I mentioned will qualify in that category.

I didn't go that far when it came to skateboarding cause I didn't want mess up my ankles since I was more into other sports. Anyway SB's did make some iconic and sought out collectibles shoes though.
My favorite will always be the Tiffany's.

I just started getting into SBs after the Tifs came out, I instead bought the Takashi's and Shanghai I's. The most recent I bought is the PUSHEAD II's, slept on the Space Jams DUNK, Nontourage, and the Supreme DUNK

I skated both Jamie Thomas' and Chad Muska's CIRCA pro models, they had grippy soles. I wanted to buy the Adrian Lopez, ones with the skull and cross bones. But couldn't find one in my size when it went ON SALE.

Finally got my first pair of Onitsuka Tiger as a gift today,from a family friend. I wanted to try them since @switchlanez recommended them before. So this was an awesome surprise.

These are model Rotation 77

Onitsukas are good for heel-toe'ing @Zaku, I have the MEXICO 66 and that's what I use if I feel the need to cruise Mulholland.

Onitsuka Tiger are comfortable and aren't too pricey especially if you are a sneakerhead. Usually I can't find them in stores but Zappos has a great collection to look at.
