skate shoes

Skate shoes represent the latest evolution in footwear for youth. The first shoes to become a fad were Converse All-Stars or Chucks. Originally boys basketball shoes, they became street wear in the 50's. They re-emerged in the 60's and in each youth generation since. They became the first skateboard shoe, then Vans (old school) emerged in the late 60's. Nike became popular youth shoes in the 80's and dominated the youth culture until the advent of serious extreme sport skateboarding (new school). As skateboarding became mainstream and see as an extreme sport skate shoes have dominated youth footwear. Such names as DC, ES, DVS, Etnies, Osiris, Adio, Ipath, have competed heavily in style, grip, color scheme, and functionality. The youth cult embraces extreme sports and their leaders, as Shaun White, Tony Hawk, Ryan Sheckler, and others.

Dude, those are the coolest skate shoes I have ever seen, can I have 'em.

The grip on the shoe is what makes them so popluar with skaters, because without a good grip, skaters cant do awsome tricks. Popular skate shoes include, fallen, etnies, element, DC, zoo york, osiris and adido.

Skate Shoes

Skate shoes were originally made for people who skate boarded, but now they are made for, and I quote from a friend, "Bell ends who want to look like they are gangsters by showing that they can roll along on a piece of wood with certain shoes, when these shoes do jack shit to help but just give the companies more money."

Person 1: I'm gonna be so MLG pro by grinding this board with dees pimp skate shoes
Person 2: It's a piece of wood...with some wheels....and some overpriced trainers made by chinese kids in sweatshops.
Person 1: Nah man it's the skill brah
Person 2: What....it's basically a scooter for older faggots.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
