That ollie up the ledge was 🙀🙀🙀

[@charbokh]

This shoe was originally launched in 1995 it was part of the Vans International Collection when Vans closed it's U.S. factories and moved them overseas. The Original Knu Skools were made with a combination of cup sole with eva mid sole called Off the Wall 2 and they were highly accepted by skaters and musicians. They were discountinued around 2001 with a revival and reintroduction in a limited edition of the original model in 2015 by Vans Japan. Then the vulcanized version of the Knu Skool, which is the one you present, hits the market and it's a total bomb! ❤

[@itstimetorise]

Exactly. They used to be $20 too! Went through 7 or 8 pairs. (I'm 40)

[@Dankelheit]

You've got to fasten the straps on your helmet or else it won't protect your head in a fall. They're only good for one fall too and it's a lot more likely to use that up falling off your head onto the concrete

[@mcruffnsteady2570]

If you rate shoes in the future, I'd love to see you rate their durability. I realize it takes time to fully understand that aspect. Perhaps you could rate durability based on design and any damage noticed during a session. Design things like leather vs. suede, 2 stitch vs 3 stitch, toe cap or not, whatever you could come up with based on exp. That'd be real helpful for me personally man.

[@TotzSnotz]

I skate half cabs. I mostly skate vert, bowls, etc. and love them.

[@TeaLeaf_FN]

You should rate the vans Zahba shoes

[@thunder9817]

For the people talking about the laces, they lace it like this in the store, they did it for mine. The fat tongue won't let your foot come out of the shoe, you're safe.

Try to when when you pop to use your ankle in a flick kind of thing and lean forward a little bit which might help

[@Apple....]

Make sure your front foot is as square as possible with around 3/4 of it on there and being below bolts put your back foot half way to three quarters on tail pop scrap your front foot up whilst bringing your legs up thenwhilst leaning forward whole time

Those are actually a really old model that they re-released. I'm 40 years old and I used to skate those exclusively when I was in high school becausethey were $20 a pair and that's all we could afford! But they were also super comfortable. I probably went through 7 or 8 pairs. Literally my mother somehow found out they were re-released and told me. I can't believe how much they cost.

[@the_argus5142]

A thin insole allows for better board control though as you can feel the board better with your feet. For me thin insole = 9/10

Less padding gives you more board feel and control. If you aren't skating big gaps or stairs they are certainly better. Even on big gaps and stairs you won't get the cushion bounce that throws your feet off the board on impact.
