So here’s how I feel about skate shoes and their brands: they’ve been incredibly underestimated AND underrated in the past few years. Probably because brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc. managed to steal the market back from them after a decade of skate shoe mania. Ā But, in my opinion, just becauseĀ a brand’s advertisement and market success areĀ better, doesn’t mean an entire branch of shoe style should be slowly wiped out of the market, as I feel is happening to skate shoes in Bulgaria lately. Most people tend to blindly follow mass trends without even slightly trying toĀ fit something new or different into them, or even better- make it a subtrend.
I for one am not at all ready to let go of the amazing quality and rad look of skate shoes and I do intend to keep trying to fit them back into trend, as I do believe they still have a lot to offer.
Take care and think about giving those babies a second chance!
