Emerica - Marc Johnson 2

Emerica Marc Johnson 2. It was pretty common to see shoes where the bottom lace loops were hidden and in this case covered by rubber. Nice airbag in the back too. Size 8.5US Navy/White.

Supra - Estaban

This is Stevie Williams' Estaban model that came out in 2014. Pretty simple high top shoe with lace loops that dip along the sides and a nice seamless toe cap. A very different looking shoe from his models with DC but I've read that there was some childhood inspiration when he designed this shoe. Size 9US Black/Black.

Emerica - Donny Barley

Always wanted a pair of these - the Donny Barley's Division 3 pro model. Came with the original box and a spring 2001 catalog that really brought back some fond memories. This shoe was designed for "heavy duty skateboarding" as they said it. Heel and forefoot cushions, rubber eyelets that curve up, a nice glued on rubber toe cap, a stash pocket in the tongue, and even holes in the tongue that look like lace loops for extra ventilation. Size 8.5US Black/Black/Grey.

Osiris - Tyrone Olson 1

If I'm not mistaken, this pro model came out sometime in the late 90's. I was also told that these were one of the first pro models made by Osiris. A seemingly simple shoe with a triple-stitched toe cap and rubber laces loops also includes a stash pocket in the tongue and some fancy heel cushioning in the insoles. Size 9US Black/White/Gum.

Globe Shoes - CT-IV

One of my favorite shoes from the past, the Chet Thomas 4's from Globe. Lots of cushioning and padding, but my favorite is the liner at the top that holds your foot real snug. Size 9US Black/Red.

DC Shoes - Kalis

First pro model for Josh Kalis with DC shoes. I was hoping to get his autograph at a DGK demo but he wasn't there however Marquise Henry was and was pretty stoked to sign it. Size 9US White/Grey/Yellow.
