I'm a 38-year-old skater, and I've been trying to find the perfect pair of shoes that bring back the old school vibe from when I was a youngin just breaking into skateboarding. These shoes are amazing! However, I did replace the insoles with some FP insoles, because the stock ones are a little thin. Not to mention spanky is one of my favorite skaters of all time. These shoes have a great vibe, and skate amazingly!

I need yo find some nice dress shies for my blue suit. Guess what these hit so hard and are out if the everyday BS shoes these come from where it all started skating and growing up…

Smith has also claimed that the title Close To Me came from the idea that the song was being sung as the protagonist was getting into bed at the end of a bad day: “I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me.”

Every other shoe is wack compared to this. The Mute is too comfy, too fly, too ILL!!

Shoe is well made, grippy, and performs well. I heard these are being discontinued which is a bummer. It is a really impressive high top cup sole with a classic and simple look, which is hard to find. If there is any way this one could be kept in the line, even if it was one or two colors a year, I would be grateful. I wasn’t expecting these to be anything special but after lacing them up and skating them for a month, I can confirm they are. Very impressed with these.
