Overlooked.


Skateboarding is in a weird place right now. Skaters would rather dish out $150 buck for a pair of Nike "skate" shoes, than buy a functional kick ass shoe. Es footwear, and Sole Technologies ( es, etnies, emerica ) have been on the forefront of skate shoe technology for a long time now, and their shoes sometimes get overlooked. The PJ Ladd Es shoe is one of those shoes....well, it's getting overlooked in Nanaimo anyway. Maybe it doesn't match your triple XL tee's....who knows. It's an amazing shoe. Low profile, simple, yet solid. Very solid. No break in time necessary here kids. So next time someone comes in and complains that their feet hurt, and they can't do 3 flips anymore...I'm going to take off your basketball shoes and sole slap you in the face. Dunked. We're skateboarders...why not wear skateboarding shoes?

es has the worst fucking shoes on the market right now, the last 2 times i put some of that crap on my feet i rolled my ankle and was out for weeks because i couldnt feel my board through the 11 inche system g2 crap they have in there. i will fight this to the end. yes they still have some half decent ones like the pj and etnies has a couple left but for the most part es is absolute crap now and thats why no one wears them. and it clearly has nothing to do with it matching our "triple xl tees" because nanaimo has one of the worlds worst fashion senses i have ever seen. any day you can go to the park and see a kid in bright red reynolds, sean john jeans, and a "wife beater". i absolutely hate es' new shoes and have hated them for a couple years now and will continue to dislike them till they get rid of that bullshit technology.and good luck finding a kid in nanaimo wearing nikes by the way, i dont even have to explain that one because i already explained the fashion retardation back up there. they somehow havent realized its cool yet. id attack the nike wearers in a couple years when they try to pick it up after finding an old copy of thrasher in the DNA bathroom.

...wow john...that's quite the pathetic rant...need a hug? you can't judge a shoe by rolling your ankles...what the fuck is that all about? all companies fit differently for different people....you know that...you're better than that john. i don't wear dvs because they hurt my feet, and tear apart easy...but i'm not going to rant about it...all shoes suck in the end. the "g2 system" is nothing more than a gel insert..nothing to do with the thickness of the sole. let's turn this into an all out war over a petty dislike..ahahahah. your turn john.

p.s...john, i was talking about skateboarding in general...it wasn't an attack on your 2 XL tee's....it was an attack on the 3 XL's.

What size tshirt would the bowl wear?

the bowl would have to wear a bio hazard suit...cause it's covered in 20 years of feces.

E's, Etnies, and emerica are all the same they come from the same molds and use the same tech, just different terms. This whole rant is one of the reasons I dont like skateboarders, wow thats a risky thing to say. I used to be the guy ranting and sometimes you can get me going, I mean the bowl is way better than the north end park, and pizza is nice, I like hotdogs but they are bad for you) I also love watching BMX. Ermm...something I hate is super grey socks I hate when kids rock that, and whats with minor hat choices, bring back the trilby, did you know that sharks pre date Dinosaurs? I Don't like when sharks wear human masks, that is plain scary. And what about the pigment Cadmium, thats not good but it makes lots of great things, and did I mention that all you froggers are not doing much with your lives flogging dead horses at a race know one is betting on. Think outside of skateboarding, cause non of you are turning super pro except me, I can boneless. Thats right. Boneless. Rocket air, judo air, comb your hair.

only a super pro that can do judo comb your hairs, would think the bowl is the best skatespot in the world. i dig it.
