Good skate shoe for a great price
of Samuel, Blue Tomato Shop Utrecht, Blue Tomato, 2/24/2020
I go to skateparks throughout Utrecht, where our shop is based, skating both indoor and outdoor. The sneakers don't slip and slide on even floors like in a concrete skatepark, which I felt was really important because I want to both feel where I'm going and be able to push / stop quickly and strongly when I'm approaching a feature. I've previously skated both Adidas and Vans sneakers, both of which broke relatively quickly. With Adidas it was the sole, with Vans the top of the shoe. These Nikes seem more sturdy but still lightweight, so I'm very hopeful they'll last a lot longer! The only downside I have found so far is that they're quite warm, which might be nice during winter but can become slightly uncomfortable during a long skateboard session.
I would definitely recommend these shoes, both for their feel and for the price! Just make sure to try them out in the shop in order to really be able to tell which size fits you best, as they can be slightly different in fit compared to other skateboard brands. Enjoy your session!
