i was just looking at some munchen on ebay, some dude on the wirral £115 for the blue and white, i wont be getting them ffs.

Ask him, I'd be interested to know. If he's making them himself I take it he's into the orginal londboard or fishtail style?

I know he makes lots of types, he mainly makes them for the neighborhood kids, but I do know he makes Longboards.

As for the boards named after him, they were made by 3 seperate companies by the names of Sims, Santa Cruz and Moon Unit.

I have no idea if any of those 3 companies are still going, but apparently they made it fairly big during the skateboard boon.

Y3, Y3 Trainers, Yohji Yamamoto, Adidas Y3 Trainers, Y3 Shoes - Tessuti

Wow, Santa Cruz are still kickin'!!!! Santa Cruz Skateboards

Looks like Sims were around for the original Dogtown movie (my dad was in that too) D O G T O W N

And wow, I just searched for skateboarding history. I need to take these Vulc's off and bin them!

(No I won't, I love these shoes a little more than a straight man should......)

Haha, nice! Yup, I remember Santa Cruz and Sims (good God, FLASHBACKS!!)...when I originally asked I was thinking maybe Alva or G&S.

I haven't skated in dog's years but every time I see a gang of kids skatin' around I want to jump back on. I'll be 35 in April though and I'd probably try to do something I shouldn't be and wreck who-knows-what.

once upon a time, bowling shoes were a bit of a fashion thing, for those that rode scooters me thinks. tholympics are on at the moment and the curling is on, they have a grippy shoe and a sliding shoe, anyone think that they might have their day ? be funny as feck if some halfwit forgets which is his grippy and goes arse over tit over his brush.

btw, i dont think they wear 3.

they have speed ratings on the sliders ffs...

Tournament Ultima SportPrice: $119.95
Rating: Casual to Competitive CurlerOptions: Slider speed: 8 (3/32” Teflon)
Optional: 9 speed slider (5/32” Teflon) - $10.00 charge - Special Order Only
Sizing: Men: 7-12, 13 (LH/RH)
Ladies: 6-10 (LH/RH)

Description: Ultima's Weight Distribution System was developed through testing and feedback with elite curlers and design engineers. The Distribution Bars have been specifically designed to spread the weight from the normal ball area of the foot to the whole sliding surface. This improved weight distribution provides superior balance and stability on delivery. The Ultima Sport’s athletic shoe design combined with a protected lacing system, Microfibre & leather upper, Thinsulate lining, high performance gripper and reinforced toe truly make this a performance shoe.Sweep's Recommendation: The Ultima Sport has had a few improvements over the past two years most recently with changes to gripper material composition making them more durable and providing ultimate grip. If you like an athletic shoe fit and style then the Ultima Sport is for you.Rocky's Assessment: Am I actually agreeing with Sweep? Oh god I’m a monster. Just chuck one of those lousy skirts on me and leave me to die…*sob*

rocky could clearly find a home on g.o.t. judging by his scathing criticisms on Clean Sheet Curling Supplies - Providing Curling Equipment since 1998

I wear these

all day every day.

Me likes, though not sure the rest of my casual attire would compliment them.

Trainers used to be for getting dirty on the gymn floor when I was a lad.
Laces tucked in? We couldn't afford laces. We used wool from grannies knitting bag. :huh:

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

I submit live footage of an exploding whale that gets rebuked and trivialized and people are having a discussion on shoes.

In any event, I seem to get through about a new pair every two months, keep it simple with purcashes, nothing fancy, and always tuck the laces in for reasons I don't know.

What is with the carpet? I hope you were staying at your grandmothers when you took this shot.

My first pair of this style........did I do alright? They are Adidas Classic Vulc model.
