Mind blown the first time I realized those weird bugs on the left are baby Ladybugs!
Meanwhile 51yo me dresses exactly the same as 15yo me. Literally. Misfits tee, shorts, cap and skate shoes. The main difference is that as a teen I used to main Airwalk shoes and now I wear Emerica.
Are they better? Because I don’t like the new styles of Airwalk. My checkered vans are about to fall apart so I need a new casual shoe.
New Airwalks are basically trash. I suspect that someone bought the IP and turned it into a discount brand.
I wear Emerica because foot is too wide for Vans and so far they have been solid. Good board feel, nice and neutral, good grip, and so far I haven’t had a pair become unglued.
At least you got your shell built to keep the world out.
