Cool design, congratulations on starting skating, can't wait to see what else you make. Impalas are good for a beginner skate but some things came out about them earlier this year. As you said, skates were sold out everywhere and you were new to it, so I don't expect you to have known this and your options were probably limited. If you plan on doing any park skating they tend to fall apart pretty quickly, their ambassadors were getting a new free pair of skates every month to keep them rolling. They also weren't paying their BIPOC ambassadors as much and sometimes not at all, for the same shoots the white ambassadors were getting paid.
@@JuliannaMarkus For sure, I know it's impossible to always have the full story behind a brand, especially when you're trying to find something affordable before you even know if you like the sport.
"I kinda feel like I own the streets when I wear them" this is the purest video like I can just feel your joy
:)) It was exactly that

Buy some toecaps! You can get loads of super cute designs on etsy and it’ll protect the fronts of your skates when you fall!
oOOo should i?? i was unsure that they do!
Yeah they’re so you don’t scuff your toes up!
I absolute love this idea 😍. Now I want to get me some white skates to doodle on 🤩. The Sharpie is water proof, right?
yes, it's waterproof! it does smear a little bit on the shoes if i fall or scrape them on the ground but otherwise it's great!
Amazing video! Subscribed!
