D3s were so played out. everyone and their mother had them. i stuck with DC's and Lakais back then, didnt fuck with da d3s. pretty much only nikes now. have a few sb's. their recent season was kinda weak though.

I skated in high school, i stopped about 3 years ago, but i still rock the gear. have not been on the nike tip untill now, im really diggin the styles and gear they have now, ive rocked nikes, its just that i never rocked them to go out, they were just my basketball shoes or my running shoes, never my going out shoes, those were usually dc's or etnies (i dont know why those two brands were the two major brands i bought)
