Score!

So after a long day of pressing bearings, moving and taking inventory, vacuuming the shop, gripping boards, cleaning glass...I could go on but I'll spare you the read. A customer came in looking for a pair of Emerica skate shoes and when I went into the back and found a dusty pair of fresh Jerry Hsu's old pro model shoes not the new low cuts but, the old, stylish, ankle saving mid tops. Now I'm not the kinda guy that can pull off mid tops but I asked my boss if I could get them cheap since they've been sitting in the back of the shop for so long and I've had a pair way back in the day, but man, I forgot just how amazingly comfortable these shoes are! After skating them for a week or so, I just had to have the low cut version, so I could actually wear them in public, haha. What I love about the low cuts, is they didn't change a thing, just made it a bit slimmer, narrower, and cut the collar down a bit, on the downside there's only 1 pair of the mid tops left, but if you like a slimmer, sleeker shoe, the low tops are available in multiple sizes. Also! I just recently found out we carry HSU 2 fusions which are basically the same as the mid tops but all of the components of the shoe are fused together instead of layered to create an unbreakable bond for a lighter, more durable, and flexible shoe, and coming from someone that's ridden at least 4 pair of HSU's into the ground I can only expect great things from the HSU 2's.
