I started skating in the 00's, and was in a single parent household. We were poor, so we bought shoes at payless. Of course I got a pair of airwalks. I got made fun of by a bunch of skaters at school because of it. But in my cheap airwalk shoes I outskated all of them at very spot I saw them. Honestly, humbled because of it. Airwalk might not be as cool, but it has a place in my heart for being my first skateboarding shoe.

I remember in the early 00's, my friends would always rag on other skaters for wearing Air Walks. We viewed Air Walks as "Poser" shoes, mainly because they were available at Wal Mart. But in retrospect, my friends were just assholes who judged others by what they could afford. In those days Adio and the D3s were all the rage

That`s so strange...I was a from a very low income family growing up in South Africa and skating in the early 90`s, back then Airwalks were the most expensive skate shoes on the market, along with Vision Street Wear...they were R500.00 a pair back then, that was a quarter of my entire fist months pay check at my first real job in 1995...if you didn`t have Airwalks back then then you weren`t taken seriously as a skater at all...

When I was growing up Airwalks were amazing. I had a few different pairs. At the time they were the only shoes with great lace-savers, and the sides had rubber to help the sides last. I still have the 1996 Airwalk video on VHS. In the mid- to late 90s they were the best thing out there, in my opinion. This was a great walk down memory lane.

Nice of you guys to add some Airwalk history, I grew up with Sin in Australia skateboarding and lived with him in San Diego in 1980`s and 90`s. I also worked for Airwalk in Australia. Sin never worked at Del Mar Skate Ranch but hung there all the time. I came up with the word VIC for the skate shoe, The rise and fall of Airwalk is sad for it could have still been a huge brand. The owner hated skateboarders, Nike offered to by the company in late 90`s but owner refused and a couple of years later Airwalk was sold for almost nothing to some investment firm. Good memory`s.

When I was in middle school as a teen in the mid 90s airwalks were hip and only like $19 then. Later circa 2000 my dad got a pair of the classics and wasn’t hip at all but loved them and that’s around the time airwalks went big box. It’s sad what they’ve become but then again look at Eddie Bauer, Mossicino, Reebok, Starter, OP, Avia shoes etc. all once great and now at Walmart/target or worse.

If it wasn't for the big box though alot of us wouldn't have had skate shoes. $100 for a pair of Etnies wasn't an option for me, but $30 Airwalks from Sportchek was, even though I wore some off brand shoes from Canadian Tire.

Well that’s great for you and indeed the greedy bigger compAnies wanted 4-6x what skate shoes were worth then. My point is they went big box and sold out and that I’ve never met a real skate that wore airwalks. In my day which was 90s, yes Etnies, Eamerica, even Vans we’re a bit popular although not like now where they are trendy and everyone from 60 year old wanna be hip old dads to 8 year old girls wear vans but have never skated.

Money was tight but those shoes were so well made they last the whole year so I got a fresh pair right before school started every year in middle (6th, 7th, 8th grade) school. Even had the very early 90's styled baby blue & high viz yellow ones! Sk8 or die!

I actually just managed to track down a pair of brand new Vics which I always thought were super iconic... I had them in the late 80's and always really liked them. Can't find them at all these days as all the reissue stock from a few years back has pretty much disappeared. Really liked the Prototype 540s with the lace saver too but can't find them easily anymore either!

Also... as nice as the reissues are, you just can't beat the OGs as they were just that bit chunkier, with the texture of the rubber toe protection a bit "spikier" and also about a 1/2cm deeper around the toe box... I just think it looks better and also makes the toe box look a little more compact which makes for a better overall aesthetic in my opinion 😄 I also had to customize my reissue Vics by stitching an extra velcro flap above the existing velcro on the side of the shoe where the lace saver attaches in order to wear them comfortably, because the lace saver is just too short to wear the Vics without lacing them super tight! Man, I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to the 80s and pick up some OG Vics 😂

I'm 42 and other than a pair of docs all I own is airwalk. It's an addiction at this point. And getting harder to find. Uk and Japan are still putting out nice cuts here and there. Maybe it's just nostalgia. Me missing a time before cell phones and tiktok. PS the NTS was the best shoe ever made.

watching from London England. I've only ever had one pair of airwalk's, my dad got me them when he had a work trip to toronto, got them from a big box store no less, I can't remember them really. I can't recall them being very good. back then I rarely left my neighbourhood so would get shoes from the sports supply shops, usually vans Armbrusters. Nowadays I see airwalk Pivot's or Proto's on sale at Sports Direct all the time. Previously they had vision's, which I found wore out quickly just walking, so I'm reluctant to pay the money when for another 20 I could support a skate store and buy a core brand like Emerica or Lakai.

I loved my Airwalks! I remember having the prototype, 1s and bowling shoes (which were awesome). But I know they weren’t $20-$30. My parents (and eventually myself) were paying 40-60 (in the early 90s). Paying them mall premiums I guess 😂 but I guess they were still cheaper than nikes

I skated Airwalks in the early 2000's, I was around 16 and when I started going to the skate parks I made friends with a lot of skaters and they would tell me I needed better shoes, so dudes would give me their old skate shoes. I skate goofy, so guys who skated regular would hand me down their old shoes! I thought it was so cool!

I saw them at Forever 21 a year ago, but didn’t care for the look of their shoes. Then, I discovered the Novas at JC Penney last weekend. I love the fact they look like Air Force 1s but with more style and certainly more comfortable than the Vans and World Industries skate shoes I used to wear.
