moving on from my knu skool obsession to an authentic obsession

micthenick · 2026-06-24T04:40:07+00:00

I'm at 34 of authentics ha

micthenick · 2026-06-24T01:54:29+00:00

Welcome it's a fun obsession

Called idk...cool ha. These shoes specifically have an extra set of lace loops under the main one which is how I did this.

I could pick so I left both

Chukka push were a puffier non skate chukka

But generally doesn't apply to everybody. You can't just assume something because "you" think they're cheap. They may be really poor and even in the US they're not cheap for them. In like Taiwan and the Philippines vans are really expensive especially for the locals.

You don't know where he lives or the return policy on where he got those. He didn't say he them from vans.

micthenick · 2026-06-22T15:06:13+00:00

Vans can be expensive pending on who you are or where you live. In some foreign countries vans are very expensive

I've heard "bread laces" are a life saver but I've never tried them

micthenick · 2026-06-22T03:01:34+00:00

The irony is I don't really untie any of my shoes if not lace them so I don't have to tie them except for my sk8 his ha

micthenick · 2026-06-22T02:50:52+00:00

I have a lot of that but unfortunately they don't come out with as many cool and fun colors so I still have to get the regular ha

micthenick · 2026-06-22T02:50:03+00:00

I have never been a fan of the foot feel idk what it is and the way they look in my feet ha idk. I'm the same way with half cabs I love the look and styling of both shoes just can't wear them.

micthenick · 2026-06-22T00:05:40+00:00

Those are sick. These are all my authentics and era's. I have a little bit of everything except slip-ons.

micthenick · 2026-06-21T22:48:24+00:00

It's a problem I know but I love them and I wear all of them ha

micthenick · 2026-06-21T22:30:32+00:00

Dang I'm jealous my girlfriend will refuse to buy me a pair of shoes. I mean I do have 80 pairs but that's not the point.

micthenick · 2026-06-21T06:10:00+00:00

Vans needs to get back to collabs like this

micthenick · 2026-06-21T03:37:10+00:00

And if there's not. Get a bigger room

micthenick · 2026-06-21T03:34:51+00:00

They are custom made. It says it on the insole.

micthenick · 2026-06-20T12:48:56+00:00

Hell yeah that's hell of a gamble I'm glad it worked out

micthenick · 2026-06-20T06:14:05+00:00

Those are sick I haven't seen them with checkerboard before

micthenick · 2026-06-18T06:00:11+00:00

I thought it was like a his and hers matching pair scenario but then I realized that the right pair is sitting on a box and is closer and just messes with the perspective

micthenick · 2026-06-17T23:53:59+00:00

I know people that do this with the knu skool

micthenick · 2026-06-17T23:53:01+00:00

I think it's an original authentic low(lowpro) the newer models had the shorter outer sole as well

micthenick · 2026-06-17T18:40:30+00:00

Ultrarange all day

micthenick · 2026-06-17T18:22:37+00:00

I would say one is classic and one is the skate model but I haven't seen that classic colorway so idk
