the snake black pair looks tight with the white contrast stitching! on the insoles, it was totally industry wide to have those special insoles with arch supports and heel pads. for real though, these days i miss the old insoles because the arch supports were a good addition. the heel pads for all the companies were usually thin sorbothane and didn't do much, i usually ripped em off and threw on an old hexalite cushion or an old zoom bag from old shoes. the s-one company insoles the heel pads flattened out after a few wears, but the hexalite ones that came with a lot of old osiris shoes back then were super super good.
I just got a pair of Black/White Snakes! I've been loving them. They're solid and look great. I'd agree that they'd be even better with an insole and a tongue-centering strap
Tmr is thanksgiving and no sals it looks like some disagreements went down behind the scenes at etnies which is fucked up because they got them in the new holiday season ccs
I am pretty excited about the sals but I always preferred the accels even back in the day. Not many shoes can touch a lynx og though. When I saw the post of etnies about the 23s immediately I started hoping for proper reissues of the other sals but those came out on es and weren't carried over like the 23s ...
The lack of tongue straps on the etnies could be a sign that are " lifestyle" shoes? Recently i buy some dc graveler reissue and the sole rubber was really bad quality and where full nubuk, the fit was perfect and look good, but werent "skatable" shoes nontongue straps either is like the Manteca and Manteca "skate" version
I’m not a fan of the grip though the upper middle triangle tread has zero grip just kinda wish it was the the deep grooves that the toe and heel have but I get it’s a reissue model
Lols the Dc Court was a good simple skate shoe but for sure posers wore the crap out of Osiris, DC , vans, and this exact white shoe ha. I dont know why the white one was the poser looking ha. But i like them for the wider fit
Great video man....your content is good.....your very dry on the conedy and i love that....lol....love etnies....but globe and emerica is my goto.....just picked up the mark johnsons 1 and they are prolly my alltime favorites
Thanks for the review, glad you like 'em. Tongue straps will be in the Snake starting October 2024.
Feedback taken into account, excellent!
on my break for my shitty job but at least we got a post from the goat
haha We appreciate you man! Hopefully your job gets better or you find yourself getting a better opportunity elsewhere!
Someone on insta showed a picture of the snake from the 90’s when it was an Emerica shoe
I'm looking forward to the Emerica throwbacks. Some reynolds 1, some kirchart 1s, templeton 2s, MJ 2s

Bro those white ones (snake) are so damn hard. I grew up skating in the mid 90's and usually rocked stuff like DC and Es. For sure copping these.

Great to hear. Elastic tongue straps will be in Snake from October 2024 and beyond.
The sal 23’s are going to be true to the OG pairs ;)
Yes indeed!
@@etnies Will they do a 15 ?

Do you plan to make a video on the white and blue creagers?

We got some colors in the works for the Sal 23 for 2025...
I think you should totally wear the Callicuts. They look good man. They really do. Talk about nostalgia.
Everyone that wore the callicuts bought em from journeys at the mall bacc then 😂
Good ole days when I’d get out of 3rd grade and go to journeys. What a time to be alive.
What kind of pants are those?
I'm down to get some brown/gum sal 23s, never had that shoe before and it looks sick
You said you had to size down to a 9 in the snakes, but what is your typical shoe size? Just wondering for my own sizing
What is your take on the DC Lucien Pro and Ascend?

Mannn, really loving those Snake ones since they were announced. Gotta grab a pair too 👌🏼
like, honestly, like, literally
I have a pair of Black/Red Williams OGs that arrive today, are you getting them in? Also the Callicut just reminds me of every girl in highschool.
Black w the hot topic pink.......lol
So hyped off mine.
These r so good
@williams og
The accel took a lot of its design from the Sal 23 isn’t a different take on the same shoes some of us hate the lace system on the Sal
had my best heelflips in callicuts
Snakes are pretty sick. I never had them but remember them from ccs
Brown sal 23s penny vibes
