So I am a bit of a shoe hoarder, hence the “half a review”. I own a ton of shoes, and when I heard that these were being rereleased, I was all over it. Because of the great price, I ordered three different low top colours. I only tried on one pair, put them back in the box because I have too many shoes in my current live rotation.
I still own my original high tops from 89, as I couldn’t really afford to skate in them, I bought discount shoes to destroy skating. These are a great reproduction, truly nice looking, nice quality and great price (all three pairs were 50% off), so these three pairs only cost me about 30$ more than my original pair total.
Like I said, no use yet, but my guess is that these will be more for fashion, than (adult) function. I have shoes for walking for hours, I suspect these will not be that. These will be for jumping in your car and going for a coffee. I would add to that, I have done autocross and I think they would be good for that.
Great shoes, and for the price, one might not mind destroying them skating….my days on a board have long since past.
