Ahh yeah... Airwalks :) I was a skater from..uh.85 to 92 or something so
i wore airwalks back then (before they got hyped and everyone started
using them). Not the low-top suede ones (alà puma) tho..back then
Airwalk only made big leather sneakers + some really nicelooking suede
high and mid-tops (except for the Airwalk One). As far as Vans goes, ive
never liked them *that* much.
The Vans Halfcab (steve cabalero's own model) is a
classic but other than that i really dont like em (even tho i do have a
pair of Vans Razors which look kinda good...dark-red with gray and black
stripes :).

Blah..im babling now... what i ment to say is this: If you like
skateboard shoes check out Duffs and DC... without doubt the most
comfortable and long-lasting shoes out there. Ive wore my pair of Duffs
Cobnobblers all year round (that includes 7-8 months of snow) for 3
years now and they still look as good as when i got them :)

Does anyone out there still wear Chuck Taylors? Now *THATS* a classic
shoe (the fact that i would never wear them myself is irrellevant, they
are and will allways be classics)...
