Trainers

Not exactly these though are they

No, those are the Stussy ones, the ones above are the Dunk Fuse - weightless, seamless (much like the Air Max Maxim), QS.

not a big fan of the seamless stuff just looks plasticy and fake to me..meh

I was bustin these today

what nikes are they cant make out the symbol on the tongue. nice and subtle.

Nike Court Force High 'Lux'

Nike Lunarglide 2

Mrs.nuknow got these ones last week. Look like surfing shoes.

Not for me.

I like them

I like DVS, but that looks cheesy as...

Just get a pair of vans sumo ;) much better, those DVS look wank.

unlike Vans, DVS don't fall apart.

Lies.

Got a pair of all black DVS rico's (for £30), same soles as the ones above. Had them about 5 months deffo rate them, the soles not your classic waffle but it's nearly as good, no wear issues. The quality/fit of new vans is hit and miss. I've had 2 pairs of chukka's that lasted about a year a piece and then I had a pair that lasted 2 weeks. I've heard similar stories about halfcabs, the heel just collapses and falls appart. I've got a pair of chukka low's that feel absolutely horrible, the shape is nothing like a normal chukka too. I do have a pair of authentics that are right in that worn in sweet spot though, you know nothing serious just a few little holes, a bit bleached out and plenty of tread. BTW did you know that vans, eastpack, lee and jansport are all owned by the same company.

Best DVS's ever:


No point arguing over this, decision is made.

Anyone got any smart ideas about how to permanently stain a sole black? White soles are anathema to me, but my favourite pair of cycling shoes have 'em. I've been periodically giving them a few layers of black spray-paint, but it's just not hard wearing enough.

Failing that, can anyone point me in the direction of some all black (totally, all black, no stitching, no detailing that isn't black as midnight) Vans? Preferably pretty low. I've already got the all black suede chukkas, and I had some all black Del Barco's in suede but I wore them almost every day for about 2 years until even the duct tape wasn't keeping them together...

Danké

I too am a lover of the very darkest of shoes. I usually have at least one pair of all black authentics. I also recently bought a pair of Era Pro's which are the tights but unfortuantly do have a grey inner. The rest of them is black suade, all black sole, proper insole. Could be worth a look. Also bought a pair of Nike Bruin SB in all black with a grey swoosh. Theres plenty of murdered out shoes to be had !

I'm liking these in a retro kind of way.

My favorite shoes ever.

My Lava Domes are falling apart after 10 Years of cycling in them... Still lush though.

unlike Vans, DVS don't fall apart.

apart from when they do. Tyron who runs the footdown told me the other day that the 'special' wax coating on his cadence's failed after one use. he knows someone who works for dvs and if i remember correctly they said that they think they might have problem on the entire line.

DVS are ugly, end of. This includes the HUF ones, sorry nuknow.
They were on sale for ages in Size and they couldn't even shift them at £10 a pair.

also, I'd only consider the DVS Cinelli if they'd have cleats, like the Mission Workshop ones.
