tacoshoesday_slide

It’s Taco Shoesday and that means another shoe review with some tasty tacos in hand as well!  The  Emerica G-Code x Baker collab is not only one sweet looking shoe, but performs as one of the best shoes to skate in.  You have all your technical features with a one piece seamless toe cup to help reduce any blow-outs, Foam Pro 1 footbed giving you that extra comfort with a full-length EVA midsole,  non-slip desert grip and a thin padded tongue and collar.  It’s a low profile style shoe that’s built tough enough to shred with the best of them.  In this special collab the insole features a photo collage of  Bakers best skateboarders, a Emerica x Baker logo at the back heel midsole and the shoe box itself also is made up of a collage of the Baker dudes always having some good times.   Overall it’s lightweight, looks good on with pretty much anything you wear and kills it in the skatepark.  Plus it’s designed by pro skateboard Bryan Herman himself!  So go pick up yourself a pair and don’t forget to grub up on some TACOS!!!

tacoshoesday_slide1

Today we’ll be checking out the Nike SB P Rod 6 Shoe,  Paul Rodriguez’s sixth pro model with Nike SB.  It has a combination of suede and leather uppers with perforated panels to give you some added ventilation while you’re out there sweating it up during your skate session .  Also has a modified herringbone pattern on the outsole for traction and flexibility.  The partial Lunarlon insole makes the shoe lighter and more comfortable.  Overall the shoe is pretty awesome and if you haven’t tried skating up a pair of Nike SB’s you’ll want to try a pair of the new P Rod 6’s.

tacoshoesday_slide

We all know Taco Tuesday is thee day to head out to your favorite taco place and chow down on some tasty tacos for a really cheap price.   Well for Taco Shoesday we’ll be reviewing and taco-bout shoes from Nike SB, Vans, Adidas to Supra, Gravis and many more.

This week we’re starting it off with the Vans Syndicate Chukka Low S Ballistic shoe.  Vans Syndicate is a limited skateboard footwear collection. The style is based on classic Vans-models, but the materials, innersole and execution is always modified for better skate performance. Collections are released every year, and Vans has collaborated with artists/designers such as Mr. Cartoon, W-Taps, Neckface amongst others to bring their own style to Syndicate.

The Vans Chukka Low S Shoe is just like any other Chukka low, except it’s slimmed down just a bit with some added details and finishes.   The cool part about this shoe is that the exterior is protected by a Ballistic nylon that makes this shoe extra tough and durable.   It has a water repellent tongue, reinforced detailing, and a Syndicate “S” Syndicate logo at the back heel.  The exterior seems bullet-proof, but it isn’t too heavy.   You can’t beat the price for what this shoe has to offer.  Priced at $69.99 they’re available at Activerideshop.com
