Just got myself a fresh pair for $20, aztec striped. Some people think they're the greatest thing ever, but some people think they look stupid, personally I like them but I'm not crazy.
What do you guys think?

It's taken me ages to realise authentics are pretty rubbish, especially in terms of skating. 10 ollies and woop, u got a hole

We always say that you'll get ten kickflips out of them, but they'll be the best ten kickflips you've ever done.

I personally like chukka lows or half cab pros to skate in. I have two pairs of accels though, so I'll be skating those for a while.

They're shit for durability but they're also incredibly cheap and comfy so I can deal. I currently own 7 pairs, only 2 of which aren't completely ripped up from grip tape.

The only type of Van I know is the one I used to lure your mom into last night with a double big mac.

We all agree that vans durability is absolute trash.
But there is nothing worse looking than a brand new pair of vans. If they aren't broken in and have wear and tear then they look awful.

I have a pair of the Chimas and they're awesome. I wanted something to fill the gap between boots and flip flops and they're perfect. They kinda suck to break in but once you get them dialed they're great

Did you drag a toe? How in the world did you manage this?

I get kickflip holes almost every time...

But that happens to every shoe.

I dragged a toe when I was longboarding once. That was kind of catastrophic... but nothing my Janoski's wouldn't have done.

I didn't do anything like that. I rode bmx in them for a week. Nothing super major either.
