After a 10 year hiatus, things have changed..
frames are lighters, seat posts are extinct, bars are wide as hell.. sprockets are micro tiny...
What about shoes?
Back in my day, we rocked skater shoes.. Osiris D3's, E/S Koss's, Mike Valleyes Enties...

Just got Etnies brake 2.0s in the mail today. Will start rocking them once I wear through the sole of my emerica Reynolds mids which have been treating me pretty well

Im very abussive to shoes (2-3 pairs a year) proir to gettin my almond Belmont, theyre like a year old now, and still going. I ride brakeless and live in a valley, so theyve been put thriugh hell. Easily the most durable shoe ive owned. I had aaron ross etnies mids. Lasted like 3 months as a comparison

Have been docking etnies brake 2.0, cinema edition, and them were pretty grippy, i am currently rocking lotek fader v2, and the grip good to, but i have metal pedals so anything could grip there.

I find vans are shit. Too thin and built very poorly.
High top Osiris are my personal fav
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

I have the brake shoes and I honestly dislike them, because the back of the shoe is too low for my liking, my heel lifts when I walk in them, causing blisters on my achillies, and wearing outthe back of the shoe, not matter how tight I have them. The soles are solid, the rest of the shoe is decent, that's about my only complaint.

Nike Janoski's are the BEST shoes you can buy, trust me. I beat the hell out of shoes and these ones last for ages. They are on the expensive side but they are twice as comfortable and twice as long lasting as anything you could possibly buy.

vans cab lites are pretty crazy. they feel like youre wearing a sock, but still stay tough.
ive seen a few people wearing adidas in some edits, which looks weird to me, but whatever works.

I got 2 years on average out of a pair of Adios, nothing has beaten that yet. And 75% of that time was brakeless.
Osiris Lennox are close for me.

NO ! The tag "duracap" on the toe box makes the shoes fall apart WAAY to fast ! My crank hits it while pedalling and the FIRST day of my Vans ridden (pic 2) they were falling apart because the little tag was pulling everything off .

If you can use those for that long, these will probably last you twice as long as that. haha

Whatever I feel like getting at the time. Shoes never last me more than 2-3 months anyway
I'm on the vital legit list!

Ive always rocked converse all stars and will continue to do so.
just a classic ive rocked since i got my first pair when i was 11.
since then i have stuck it out with them. Have run all the versions of them that i have come across. Mid low and high top and the skate inspired miss with a little padding on the side have been my favourite yet.
pretty much refuse to use anything else unless i have too
