vulcanized is the way to go
and DC was not the first to start vulcanizing shoes
Vans were
Every Vans Classic/Lakai Selects/Nike Harbors - Slip ons/All the new vulc shoes are amazing
Sorry but alot of these old skate shoes look like shit, especially the es's. the new es shoes like the pure's and theorys are whats good
Even adidas is starting to make vulcanized shoes - i witnessed dennis busenitz wearing them - all denim and shit reel sick
Someone post up a pair of old Vans or Jordan ones - those are true classics
Also, cap is right. Emerica reynolds 3's do give you tendonitis or w.e it is. It happend to me Emerica blows. seriously - wtf is this?
