Grant Taylor’s the raddest dad out! Just finished skating a pair of GT’s myself and they were by far the best feeling shoes I’ve ever had. However I’m a chronic ankle roller and sprained my ankle 3 times while I had these so I think I’ve got to stick with the blazer mids for that extra bit of ankle support and protection

@patricklyon1640 2 жыл бұрын

100% agree with you here. Those grey blazer lows before they made them all GT were my favorite shoes in the past ten years probably. They were the same ones that Nyjah was wearing consistently before his pro model came out. I didn't really see many other pros skating them. The GTs afterwards were slimmed down a bit I think and the suede felt thinner too. Still my favorite Nikes to skate along with the Blazer Mids.

Hey Ben, glad to see you're doing well. I didn't know where else to message you so I figured I'd ask you my question on here. I stripped down a 18' x 8' trailer and I wanted to build a mini pipe onto it that has a 2.5' transition with a 5.5' radius. I was wondering how you would go about doing this? Maybe you could make a video about it or just your thoughts. No biggs though, love your vids. Thanks man

@williesworld_ 2 жыл бұрын

hey ben, wish i could take your recommendations but i think my feet are way wider than yours, tried the lakai manchesters and i broke where you lace the shoes. Ive been skating the vans rowans for the last 2 years and they last me about 3-4 months. the sole wears out before the side of the shoes or flicking area even gets holes, wish they would make the top of the rowan shoe with a better sole that doesnt wear out so fast

Now I can’t resist anymore. I‘ve been thinking of buying a pair since 2 months. I like Nike as a casual shoe but never skated a pair. While I have 4 pairs of SB Dunks but just for normal wear. Love the look of the Blazer and when you say they are that good and your favorite, I need a pair but I will go for the Black/White ones. Usually I stay away from vulcanized shoes and prefer Cupsoles.

Big fan of the og Blazer Lows. Would be curious to hear your opinion on the first Eric Koston pro model from Nike if you have tried them. If not, you should try to get your hands on a pair, favorite skate shoe of all time. I still buy them when I can find a pair on Ebay, since they havent been discontinued that long new-old stock isn't hard to find or exspensive. That crook at the end was so sick!
