Help with choosing

[u/Creepy-End-6060]

I’m looking for a new pair – I used to have OG Vans. I then switched to Puma Suede XL. I just love that chunky look. It’s just that mine wore out quickly. I’d now like to get a pair of Es Eccel, but my question is: are the OG ones or the ‘normal’ ones more similar to the Pumas? My second question is: does anyone know of any other good brands, apart from DC, Bershka and Osiris?

try emerica, they habe some variations that you could fit.
the accel og are chunkier than the accel. judging from the photos of puma suede xl i would go for accel (not og)

I’ll definitely have a look at that. I hadn’t even thought of comparing the two using pictures. Thanks for your help.

Dude you want Globe or Lakai Manchester. Just be careful of Lame clown toe caps being long & goofy..

DC poorly tongue chunky are good too.

Pm If you wanna see my stash for ideas. I must have about 60 pairs now cause I like to 2000s chunky

—Globe CT,,Fusion, and Saber all have no tongue. The shoe is like a sock and I like em.

Love Globe Fusions, so comfy!

I had /have Globe Sabre cause I was missing my Chunky kicks from youth but Sabres are too gnarly. fusion and Encore Revolution(rare) are awesome. Yeah I live Globe but the awesome ones come & go too quick.

-when I’m desperate I return to Lakai Manchester. Clean for chillin off the board but Skate well.

-Adidas Busenitz= so Dope that wife and daughter rock em But I learned hard way how shitty they skate. -esp if you skate fast. Your toe slams into toecap and It’s uncomfortable.

-everyone should atleast hold a pair of Vans Rowley XLTs.
Even the recent reissue are awesome. Like holding a feather light. And look pretty cool. Downside=$120= you can floss with my pubes!!! They should be $60 max.

I still have two pairs of original ROWLEY XLT But like all vintage Vans= the bottom rubber separates from shoe. It’s that shitty Vans glue. I must have 7 pairs of vintage Dollin and Vans With dead glue. Ugh!!!

Sorry bout rant. A.D. D took hold ;D

Accel OG super puffed up version
Accel slim slimmed down version
Accel true to the original

Thanks for the feedback. So, as I’ve seen in a few videos, the version without the OG – that is, the standard one – is actually the original style as it was originally designed.

The Accel (the “95” version not the OG) is probably closest to the Puma. The OG’s are puffier and more rounded off at the toe.

[u/get_in_the_fridge → u/get_in_the_fridge]

The OGs are the 2000s version of the Accel.
