That site doesn't have a phone number? Are they legit?

Someone should post a picture of the Creager, while on eS.

[destructodisk]

Shit I'm so glad I have size 13 feet. Now the dillemma is whether to get the navy/grey/orange, or the black/black/white... I hope they're legit.

edit - Also, TPR950H, under the 'Customer Service' part of the site they've got a phone number. They look legit to me. I'm gonna give them a call.

Get both. If they're legit, I'll get both too. The number reads 1-555-555-5555 for me?

[destructodisk]

Haha, yeah I see that now. Sort of raises some flags but I'll send them an email soon and we'll see what's what.

[down4nyhc]

haha. i had the creagers in white when they came out. shits got so dirty the first day i was about to cry.

[destructodisk]

I had the Creagers in navy/yellow. They were really great shoes. Lasted forever. I had so much shoe goo on them and everything was so fucked up after a while that I had to get new shoes.

[Felix]

the ES creager were so dope...had them in blue white...can't find a pic of them though

EDIT: ahh found one:

[bluespring]

i miss those hook-ups skate shoes !!!

[shoreman1782]

I had the Howards in blue. Fantastic.

I've said a few times now I want my Salman Agahs back. In navy. Thanks.

As I remember, Airwalks were better for gym class than skating, but the 86 was a nice shoe:

Also old Etnies Rap, Intercity in suede... what was the one that looked like stan smiths?

[rhythmandsound]

sweet pic of the Agah's, wow...so hideous and so ill at the same time haha

[Selegna]

ahhh man.. i had the agahs in maroon. crazy flash backs right now.. man this is a dope thread...

[rhythmandsound]

we need more Agah pics...Syndicate please retro these!

[artificialsky]

O-threes? Anybody?

[eastcoastrider27]

one side-aspect of skating that i like is being able to buy, enjoy, mow thru and subsequently throw away shoes w/out necessarily having to accumulate even more of them.

Just saw this, and I couldn't agree more.

I'd love to have some of the shoes I had when I was younger, but at least I know they were used as they were meant to, instead of babied like some Nike's.

[down4nyhc]

still hoping someone can scan or find axion ads. the one with mariano on the big billboard on houston st. this was the only thing i found that has his shoes in it

[arem]

I would happily kill any one of you people for a fresh pair of these:

I've got some I can scan hopefully sometime this coming weekend

[TPR950H]

I had some Axions. I thought they were the worst skate shoe ever. Should have bought Alphanumeric Dunks instead...

[itsernist]

Had these on today.

They Bring back old memories.

[cheapmuthafukr]

i swear i hand almost every pair in this thread... seeing some reminded me of them.

agahs need to be reproed.

86 was a good shoe.

the guy axions in navy were one opf my favorites... the first kareem axions too.

KCK... white with white sole... probably one of the top 5 dopest shoes period.

that es ad a few pages back... with the entire line for 96... i wore out almost every model they had.

thanks for the memories

this thread is so dope, it's like reliving my teens years again. also, it sucks cause it came a week late. i have like 10 years of transworld at home, but i just moved and my gf forced me to put them in our storage room so if i get the motivation to go get them, i'll definitely get some more scans.

BTW Axion were so dope, don't really know why they went under/stopped making shoes. i had a pair of running shoes from then (not for skating) that was really dope and so comfortable. also need to get some scans on the Colin McKay 2 i think (the high-top one, i loved these shoes, got like 4 or 5 pairs of them, all for free:) )

also, what was the name of the DC that were all black with a huge DC sign at the heel, those were really nice also.

i really miss that era, skate shoes companies were really pushing it in terms of innovation and design, while i have almost completely lost interest now cause i find shoes to be boring.

if i go get my mags, i'll have to start a i miss 90s skate wear, and scan all those late Droors ad before they got sold to World Industries. they had the checkered ad with half the squares with a sequences and the other with the pro rocking some Droors gear, which is like my holy grail. The Droors lines of that era where just soooo nice

DC's were Rudy Johnson 2's. So good.

Droors wear was okay but mostly it was just bites of Polo gear, still pretty cool though. The real shit was Elwood and Forties, if anyone remembers that.

I'll look for some other gems later, scan some stuff.

that's cause you're gay.

[TPR950H]

that's cause you're gay.

Haha. You wish. I think I have the box at my parents house. I'll show you what shoes they were.

[camc]

i had creagers in blue black and silver. sickest shoe ive ever had

[down4nyhc]

what the fuck do alphanumeric dunks have to do with this? we're talking about skate brands and you may be hating on one of the best designs in skate shoes.
