Shame about the shipping, customs etc., but a damn fine pick up Robert!

Nice DJ's too Vern.

customs fee's are a bitch, but £80'odd is just a little more than you would have paid over here anyway. and they are one of my favourite skates, so top pick up mate

Nice, Rob! One of my faves as well.

These came today. Sk8 will likely be posting a similar pic in the near future. Thanks, bro!

Sk8 found them at a place called Mr. R Sports, a small chain in Miami. Phone orders only, I believe. The shoes are quite nice. Unfortunately, quality on this particular pair is not tip top. Both shells have a "melted" quality about them. Allow me to put my Rob hat on for a moment.

You can see the distortion on the ridges of the shell on the right here. There's also some glue on top of the shell on the left that's not wanting to come off:


Looking from the front, the shell on the left is kind of bent upward:


Anyway, I'm not gonna sweat it. I guess it gives them "character" but for $115 US you kinda want them perfect, ya know?

Mr R's is a good spot. I go there about twice a month. They always have a nice selection. I almost picked the orange vins up this weekend, but some diamonds fell into my hands..

Postie dropped these off today!

Big thanks to IHB, thought I had missed out on these.
Super scared to wear them though! I now see what all you meant by dirt magnets!

@Tifoso: the distortion of the ridges would make me crazy One shell bended upwards is something I have on my vins as well, that doesn't bother me.
