Evolution of the Skate Shoe # 5... D.C.


What's the hold up??

a. My laptop had over 90 malware/adware entries on it.
b. I've been too busy skating and having fun.
c. I've been mourning the death of The Chrome Ball Incident
d. Too lazy.
e. Moved magazines to the garage and therefore had to get a new scanner.
f. All of the above.
g. None of the above.

You decide (bonus points if you get this reference).

After giving it some thought I'm going to pull the plug on these Evolution of the Skate Shoe series posts. It's a great idea, I just don't think that I have enough  magazines/ads to do it justice. So, instead of doing the 10 posts I had originally planned on, I'm going to combine everything into a few more remaining posts and then continue on with the other ideas I've been sitting on for a while. So, here is Evolution of the Skate Shoe post #5 focusing on D.C. shoes, with 2 more to go..

Colin McKay....hope we see a part in the new Plan B video. 






Danny Way kickflip.. I don't know why they decided to get rid of that round  logo..

Oldie but a goodie.. the DC Euro Super Tour went off!



Matt Miller



Say what you want about this guy but the talent is undeniable... and those shoes look pretty good too. Nyjah Huston, back noseblunt slide.

I'll do another post with more new/old stuff soon.  Enjoy and thanks for visiting..  Found this spot along the way.. it's doable, right?  First stop. almost copped these based on principle alone.  Ummm...no.. Really, Gullwing?  Yess..... Sorry but I just can't behind the whole slipper/prom shoe look that's popular right now. These Globe Shoes sort of remind me of the D3's.. not quite as clunky but still plenty of heft to 'em.  Kinda short, kinda random. I'll have some better stuff coming up soon. But, hey thanks for taking the time to check the site out. Feel free to explore some of the older posts if you haven't done so already (you got 99 other ones to choose from) . (Thoughtful) comments, s...

Just remembered that I had a pamphlet of stuff from the early 90's that was mentioned in Salman Agah's interview at The Chrome Ball Incident . I gotta' give credit where it's due. These interviews are f'n amazing..
