These are the first shoes I photographed in the fall of 2005. Great job for a camera phone. I bought these to skate in because I like the old school feel of skating in hi-tops. I was amazed by how great they were. Sometimes when buying new skate shoes you have to take a session or two to get used to them, but these had a good feel from the jump.

Shortly after buying these I busted my ankle in 3 places, right above the shoe.

after

I don't know if the shoe helped or hurt. Maybe, had I been wearing lowtops, the break would have been lower or perhaps the shoes caused the break. Who knows but I was f*cked. Oh well, I got to sit on my ass for 3 months, taking pain killers and smoking sess.
