Opps I thought they were Blazers, now I see they are Classics but still $39 bucks for a pair of shoes is great. zowenso I sent the seller an email. I'll let you know if he contacts me. Bill I like Airwalks, just Nike gives me more padding in the sole it feels like.
saw the post on skull & bones forums about opinions
on new powell catalogue, some of those guys are harsh,
huh - anyway, there's a few on there who are definitely
sick of seeing the vato rat as a popsicle shape - I think
the peralta hipster's a step in the right direction, I've been
riding mine around just on the icy parking lots lately, and
really like it, especially forward of the stinger side cut up
to the (perfectly) tapered nose. I'd like to see a vato along
these lines, just with a hot rod flames-ish (rounded) tail, &
maybe a 15" wheelbase... performance wise, it'd feel good
on tighter, smaller trannies, even some pools.
we will hopefuly get the vato in the classic 10x30 pig shape soon.. as for the more modern shape/cut away i dont see them doin that. but.. theres always hope =)
yea Cap, some guys are really unhappy with what is going on but as you and most people know, you can make everyone happy all the time. this catalog had the Powell Classic change to PP which stoked lots of people out and will be a lot of work for the art dept. the next catalog will have updated shapes and hopefully all new graphics. we are hoping to do limited release decks every few months to make the not so happy a little less unhappy. but traditionalists will always want things the way they were. no one can argue with that.
Love the Vato Rat...I have an old 80s original vato on eBay as we speak. Had a guy offer me $1,500 for it and I think he's gonna take it. Who'd a thought it would bring that kind of money! I bought it 15+ years ago at a hobby shop in Baltimore...it was left over when the new style decks came out.
