I've skate most in Airwalk's... I've collection of the Prototype's. The 500's F is my favourite. I've still 3 pair of it in 2 colourways. I've quite some in my unworn mint nos collection. Also the Enigma Genesis is one of my favourite that I've skated in. I've cut the top of it which I also did with my other skate shoes back then.
That’s really rad you have some of those old airwalks. I have one pair of destroyed Ernies from 92 I skated in but didn’t keep or collect any of those old skate shoes. Thanks for the comment brotha!
Does anyone remember the converse with the star on the back from the mid to late 90s. They where black suede, white side wall and a gum sole. Can't find an image anywhere on Google of them.
@@SOLESERFER I checked Globe's website and it said late 90's. Did you ever wear it, or was it too chunky? I still have a pair brand new in the box from the original release. I took them out cos I was gonna wear them and all the foam has crumbled off the midsole!
Late 90s I was getting shoes from DC so that’s pretty much what I was skating in. It kinda looks crazy now but that’s the direction things were going at the time. Yeah that PU foam has a short shelf life they all crumble over time crazy you still have a pair though!
You talking about Rob Brink? Only Brink i can think of … but I just used the serf instead of surf because of the poverty I grew up around and really it’s not the best name haha.
Haha woulda never guessed! Did they use the term soul surfer? It is from the surf industry a guy/gal who surfs for the love without the want of sponsors or media/fame. As a skateboarder I relate so it does come from that too I forgot to mention.
Very cool that you found vids of people actually skating the shoes. Thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks for the comment ✌🏼
Super interesting bro good video

Damn dude back to back with Hensley is legendary ur the man!!!!

Had the navy blue Norton's back in the late 90's! Dope shoe! Brought them back recently, if I'm not mistaken...
.. I still got a pair of high top air walks all black besides the airwalk lable being white and the the a being red .. Sweet shoes from the 90' ..
Sweet! I skated in many pairs of Airwalks✌🏼
This is your best video.
Holy shit, you’re John Drake from Alien Workshop! Loved your Memory Screen and Timecode parts. Can you do an episode on Lennie Kirk stories one day? 😂

Were they skate shoes or just regular converse line ?
They were marketed here in Australia as skate shoes

The Raps basically became The Accels for Es.

Duffs Strombolies are the best ever in 90'!
I never got to skate in those
@@SOLESERFER those were the best, this man knows about it!

The 90s shoes definitely seemed to have a thicker suede.
Hey John my dad just told me about you he said he would skate with you in Huntington wv a long time ago his name is bill
👍👍👍👍👍👍
DC Rudy Johnson 1-2, e’S accel, airwalk blammo, vans fairlane, vans cab 3 and 4, DVS stealth. Of course e’S Sal 23 are the top shoe.
I did one of the Rudys in part 1 and the sal 23 I think but always looking for input will check out some of your other shoe choices ✌🏼
Anyone like duffs, or simples?
They definitely deserve some attention I just personally didn’t skate in either shoe.
Forgot the lower eastsides
do a heel flip
I did 3 while u were typing that. 😂
