Found a new random GINO clip online. Always good to see this stuff from "back in the day".
Always tripped me out he skated in those high top Reeboks. They always had those in the RBK store at work and were only about $15 after my hook-up. But still I couldn't bring myself to buy them as they were designed for aerobicise: super soft leather with terry cloth interior. So comfy but craze as skate shoes. The mid profile is tight and the sole looks like the herringbone would prob grip pretty well; but I still didn't think I could pull off the Jane Fonda Mids. Only GINO.
The new Challenge Court Pros are promising. Would be a nice change from skating in Half Cabs. May look like ortho shoes chilling but the mid profile would be perfect for skating. You can just destroy them without having to try and keep them clean. White mid-sole maintenance is a bitch.
But we'll see- the sole looks a little suspect with just dots for grip and the wafer thin tongue may need stuffing; but whatevs. Any new shoe is a good shoe. And with life retirement around the corner, they will match my cane and cataract glasses fine.
