These are ready to skate pretty much out of the box, the sole is 300 nbs and is softer which adds to board feel on a cupsole shoe! That's pretty sick on it's own, Ventilation is perfect, weight is on spot, if coming from vulcanized shoes then these are the perfect transition shoes to cupsole shoes, they are also very stylish, they are better the the cheaper version like the Ollie and the watered down escapes, 100 % recommended

Great shoes as Always 👍🏻

They’re comfy and good for skating

I used to be able to use my prescription inserts in previous Fader designs. I can't use my soles with the new ones.
The tread is lacking in friction producing quality making flatland tricks like tire stalls, decade, and pegging stuff more difficult or not possible reducing my finesse farming capabilities. Thankfully, I run on charisma.

Comfy and grips well

Fit just right and extremely comfortable

I’ve been searching for a pair of trainers like this for ages but hadn’t been able to find Vegan ones anywhere until I found these. Absolutely made up to be able to get white skater trainers again! Thank you Etnies!

Got two pairs of shoes but only one pair had both laces, only one shoe in the other pair had laces. Tried reaching out about but never heard anything back..

I love the Fader and Kingpin styles
