08 Sep 2007 comment on Nimh Shima V.1
<br>Hey Justin, what's your personal input on these skates?<br><br>Perosnally, I think they are somewhat gimmicky and therefore hyped. What exactly makes these skates "pro-level" skates? What is exactly is so "high quality" about these skates? For all I can tell from the pdf, their closeup pics ofthe skates don't exactly convey quality material or worksmanship even.<br><br>In addition, what exactly is so innovative about the skates? Shima mentioned a lacing system that laced up all the way to the cuffs. Well, Remz have had lace up all the way to the cuffs for the longest time. In addition, the skin concept isn't really that original either. And the liners look too much like Reign, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were shitty Reign quality either.<br><br>The only relatively original thing coming out of this Nihm skate is their <br>"non-grooved" soul plates. I mean, that's about it.<br><br>Again this is only my personal opinion. So if any one wants to be contructive please be so. I just hope these skates are reasonably priced, because as even Shima said it, the boots are not exactly original or new. And by reasonably priced, I mean a Nihm boot only for maybe $150 US? If they do that I will respect them even mroe and maybe even commit to buying them. If if they call themselves reasonably priced but charge $200-230 a boot, fucking forget about it. That would be a blatant rip off.<br><br><br><br><br>

yeah the fila's came out long ago. they had at least two versions. one was called the krusty. i think they're were beige/tan and green and black. the cuffs had no flex almost.

[quote=Fortunate Few]i dont even think the backslide is that new either i mean come on on the newer style trs the backslide is flat as well with the exception of the 2 newest coming out. i would like to see what the skate looks like without the skin.[/quote] imo, the nihm backslide plate [i]does not[/i] look new, nor does even look innovative. i mean, "make your own groove" backslide area? there couldn't be a bigger gimmick than that. unfortunately, all the stupid shima/elliot nuthuggers will lap all this hype up, and defend that moron elliot no matter what he does.
