Don't worry, I know you have plenty of PU insoles from other Syndicates you have lying around.

Problem is those insoles are glued in.....

I do have some extra insoles from some that I've skated. I wish I could throw in another insole but it's glued in so I'm going to try and trim off part of an insole with a x-acto knife and fill it in.

The other problem is...that, that is the main part that lets you know it's a Supreme shoe! The navy colorway looks almost identical to the black color, and from 15 feet away, put them side by side, and you probably couldn't tell which was which!

Yea, but that Box Logo is going to disappear fast! I tried them on and half the gold came off the box logo.

Man, this release sounds super disappointing overall... Sorry to hear about all your guys' bad luck! I guess sometimes it's cool to have a pair like that that you can turn into beaters?

The slogan is "Destroy Luxury" afterall! Although, the luxury part of these sounds a little low...

if anyone got a pair of the navy zero los or the black zero los in 11.5-12 and are willing to trade for some supreme navy snakeskin chukkas in 12, hit me up.


having both black and navy is just greedy

on the insole tip...when the suicidals came out, our ENTIRE shipments insoles were screwed up....a couple were so far beyond i had to send em back...all the others were like .5 to 1.5 sizes to big....ended up trading between the stock to mix/match, and had to take an exacto knife to a bunch to cut them to the right size....I could tell they were definitely from a manu we had never seen/heard of before, or since. In the end it all worked out, and i was bummed that i even sent a couple back, but hindsight is 20/20...was just weird how the qc was so poor on them.

Yeah those suicidals are nowhere to be found, hehe. Liberty was the only shop in our general area that carried that shoe. Damn, I didn't realize how spoiled I was back then, to have Active San Dimas, Utility (La Verne, and Covina), and Liberty to pick from, for Syndicates. Now it's just Utility (for some releases), and Liberty (yes, they still carry Syndicates, but they're going to be very selective on releases they said. Sounds like they don't know their Syndicate core market, because they didn't order one pair of W)Taps, and the retail on these was fairly low compared to other models, like the Bash and TNT IIs).

Is that why they were so hard ti find? Pretty much scrapped due to quality control issues?

Talking about quality of ST's. Fabric used on them is super weak. It looks like twill, but fades EXTREMELY quickly. So if sand somehow gets on the toeboxes, you're fucked.
I guess it's called a Suicidal Failure

Hah! BTW here's my pick ups from yesterday...



Looks black huh?

Check out all that gold brushing off...fail! Not even tried on!

Did anyone have a problem with the other ones brushing off?

cleaning up right now, but havent even looked at mine yet! pictures will be up later..

Pick ups.
