OLD SCHOOL LAKAI (pics)

[n0torious]

Yep, fully flared was like at least 50% dudes above 30 and it's one of the best videos ever.

[cheep]

Haha, that's exactly how I got the mag too.

probably the same one i picked up when i was there for the pro contest.

actually, i think the only mags i have are from tampa skatepark... tho my friend has many years worth of transworld and big brother mags hes selling for cheap at his record shop... may pick those up... wont help me keep up(since they are 90s) but will be cool reading.

If there are any of those big brothers that you don't want, I will pay $$$. Best magazine ever.

i've got fades [white], howard 1s [black and gum] and carrol 1s [grey/glack/green] in my closet still. all in pretty good condition since they werent great for skating. i went to the new "boutique" shop in town last sunday and saw some mj selects i kinda liked. may grab them when skating season hits full swing.

Speaking of which, looks like Lakai may have lost a few team dudes -

i used to rock those Lakai Staple in BROWN, shit was hot back then, but damn they were pretty stiff to skate in

The rumor mill tends to be accurate...that kinda sucks. At least they kept Olson and Pops long enough to get the video out.

Right. I like the idea of Olson on Vans, too. Wonder if Lakai will pick up anyone new.

[powerglov]

whoa.. YWS on sufu? that's my friend's blog.. mind blown.

[cheep]

tell your friend thanks for me... the shoes on his blog are to me like og jordans for ISS kids

[n0torious]

Haha, I had all those CCS catalogs. I'd drool over them and imagine all the shoes I'd buy if I had enough cash.

[cheep]

i had alot of those shoes at one point or another... definatly remember owning all 3 sals, koston1, rudy dcs, howard dc, KCK, axion mariano and campbell, vans carrols, j-dubs, etc...

fuck... if i would have thought about something more than skating i would have kept a pair or two in good condition

[n0torious]

I had the DC Way 4's with the translucent blue soles. Ripped them to shreds, then my dog ate them. Beyond those, all the old ones I have are still in pretty decent shape. minus normal skate damage. My K3's in white and royal would still be skateable if the air bubble hadn't popped.

I'd pay a whole lot for some DC Howard 1's or Kovars.

[cheep]

id like a pair of mckay2... had em in white when they came out. sucked to skate in, but so fresh

[n0torious]

It's truly sad to see what DC has become and think about what they were.

[concealed]

I had the COHORTS (1st pic of the thread) in a cold grey colour with navy soles. One of the best looking shoes I've ever skated with. But I remember the soles to be a little too STIFF so I kept on using my old ass Vans Mike Caroll and AXIONS Mariano.

Do you know if there's ever been a reissue of Vans Carolls ?

obviously not a reissue, and a bit beat up

[Dead_Wizard]

droors cargo pants, shortys backpack, alien workshop chain wallet, lakai or airwalk shoes was pretty much the daily wardrobe for me and my friends. . CCS catalogs were the shit!

this thread is rad

[littlebigman]

droors and lakai? signifigant time gap, no?

[rodhall05]

alien workshop was that brand, and airwalk shoes were pretty fire.

i remember they had the tennisball neon joints and no straight man was touching them. look how the times have changed.

i never did the chain wallet, and never do i wanna.

[Dead_Wizard]

totally, I was wearing hand me downs from my cousins. There was some companies corduroy's I remembering everyone loving in CCS.

[Appleseed]

I would pay quite a bit of money for a new pair of DVS Daewon 1's. One of my favorite pairs of shoes of all time. I still have a pair I bought back in '97, but the heel is pretty shot.

[FAM0US.]

I'd pay good money for another pair of DVS Riots.

[jcotteri]

i can't even remember the names of the shoes i skated. maybe the brands, fuck it has been way too long since i have bought a pair. Im sure i still have a few pairs laying around somewhere.

[werdna]

Every single pair of those is on sale, marked down like 50% at a store called Zumiez around my way at Arundel Mills mall in MD.

[Selegna]

does anyone remember an airwalk shoe called solo2 ?? i had a pair in black with gum bottoms they also came in green with gum? i want to see them again.. fuck.

i used to love these teal vans chukkas with brass loops and black soles too.. damn i need to find old pics.

[cheep]

yeah... i remember those selegna... the old chukkas were the best too... one guy on here has a pair of the pine green ones... so fresh.

[toothpaste100]
