Skating Evan Smith DCs right now and I love DCs I’m also looking forward to skating Shell Toes just for the nostalgic feel but I’m a sucker for the old classic puffy shoes. Honourable mention would be the DC Lynx, eS Accel, I can’t get those in my area but would love a pair. Also, Louie pro model is also such a modern classic silhouette for chilling and skating 🤝

I graduated HS in 2008 so growing up my favorites very the first Rowley pro, the rowley XLT, most of the Muska Circas - really a lot of Circas in general. The éS accel of course. Some globe shoes - I liked how the ones I had (forget the model) had a thin outsole so the board feel was amazing.
