Vol.9_VANS SK8-HI “BAD BRAINS”

@shinaoyagi


16 years ago, in 2009,
The last remaining pair of VANS skate highs "BAD BRAINS" were found at a sneaker store in Harajuku.

Size US7.5 (25.5cm).

This was the only time I've ever been so happy about having small feet (lol).







At the time, I put them away in a box, thinking, "I'll never be able to wear these."

I think I wore them occasionally, but for the most part they were stored carefully in the back of my closet for about 16 years.

However, the other day, while I was doing some light cleaning around the house, I met him again for the first time in a long time.

I was just looking for new skate shoes at the time, so I decided to debut them.







At the time I felt it was a shame to wear them, but now I feel like I want to wear them out.

Values ​​change, don't they?







"BAD BRAINS" so there are still not enough scratches or wear on the soles.

I listened to their debut album for the first time in a while and it's still so cool!

Here are two songs that will especially lift your spirits when skateboarding.


=====

"Pay to Cum"

This is a representative song of “BAD BRAINS”.
It hit me right in the head in a minute and a half.
Pushing will naturally become faster.




"Leaving Babylon"

A calming reggae song.
I really love Bad Brains' fusion of reggae.

I was reminded once again that the two things that are at the core of my being are skateboarding and music.

In fact, I think that if I have these two things, I can survive even without a house. (laughs)
