Out of all the pairs of different skate shoes I've owned, these are my favorite. I've had them for a few weeks now, and they're great. I haven't had a problem with them. They have good board feel, but still have good padding. The part of the shoe where I flick has hardly tore down, which is a first for my shoes. The laces are perfect length. I can tie them without them dragging on the ground. The shoes were kinda tight when they first came out of the box, but after breaking them in a day they're great. The bottoms of the shoes are also very durable, i drag my foot a lot, and you can't even tell with these. plus, they're pretty stylish.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, good cushioning, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip

I have a great deal of love for this shoe. It arrived (in Australia, 3 days after I ordered it) about 4 hours after I managed to crash my car. Thus I have a pretty strong attachment to it - even though it's a shoe - as it appeared at a pretty down time.
Good fit, great to skate in, comfortable, and looks good.
Now have a second pair of Bruins.

I got this shoe somewhere near august or september and i was so stoked when i got it. When i first tried it on, it was kinda tight but after like 3-4 days they got broken in. When i skated them, they felt great. Nice grip on the bottom. Good padding on the tongue, but a slightly thin collar but its all good. The removable insole is great and the laces didnt break that quickly. It lasts an average time, about 2-4 months. During the middle of december they started to die. My right shoe (im goofy) had a pretty big hole in the top right area of the shoe and the bottom of the shoe got a hole in the bottom with ripped through the insole and my sock. But it was worth it. This is a great shoe.
Pros: looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, good cushioning, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip
Cons: poor ankle support, sole loses grip, soles wear out, does not break in quickly

These shoes may be good for skaters but i use them for everyday wearing. I have ridiculously massive feet and i rated the size at very large because they are great for a person with big feet. Please if you buy these APPLY SUEDE PROTECTOR BEFORE USE! These are great looking shoes when kept clean. Comfortable and perfect arch support for a flat soled shoe. Thanks CCS
Pros: looks great, cool colors, stylish, good cushioning, comfortable
Cons: dirtied easily

I've got both the red/brown and the purple ones right now, and they are pretty good skate shoes. Nike quality, which is always good. Durable, nice toe for good flick, zoom air pads in the heel for support. Another thing is, out of all SB's, the bruins have the most pronounced arch support that I've ever had in a pair of SB's. It's a really nice feature of the shoes I think. The only thing that I can think of that are bad about the shoes are that they have this little strip of material surrounding the whole shoe right above the outsole that rips off super easy after a couple days of skating. But, that's more ascetic than anything, and doesn't affect the quality of the shoes. Another thing I find weird with them is as they get more wore in, they "look" like they grow longer, and kind of look like a banana i guess if that makes sense haha. All in all, really solid shoe from Nike. I recommend them.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, durable, good cushioning, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip, amazing arch support, nike sb=quality
Cons: sole loses grip, swoosh rips easily, "look" longer after being broken in, material above outsole rips easily

So far this has been one of the best shoes i have skated so far besides the Janoski's. This shoe has a steady and long lasting grip on the sole and around the toe/kickflip area. It does run slightly narrow but if you loosen up the laces a bit it will be fine. I bought the Red/Brown colorway, which is sleek and original. It is designed to be a basic looking shoe which in my opinion makes it look professional. I had one problem with the ollie protection, it seemed to rip a little faster then the other areas around the shoe but still held up. It has a nice insole for protection but you still get a good amount of board feel. The laces seemed to hold up fairly well too. I had one more problem. The shoe gets kind of hot since it doesn't breathe well. It didnt stink at all which i found unusual because it didnt have any holes but i guess thats just an awesome pro! All in all i would Definitely recommend this shoe as well as the Janoski's.
Pros: long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, durable, good cushioning, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip, sleek, doesnt stink
Cons: ollie protection, gets hot inside of shoe.

This shoe was a really good, slim, vulcanized shoe. It lasted me a couple months but then i got a pretty big hole in the ollie and kickflip area, and the swoosh came off. I would definitely recommend these shoes for casual skaters that dont go too hard! Also, the laces dont rip very easily. The only thing I didnt really like is the material the tongue was made of, it was always sliding around.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, stylish, durable, good cushioning, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip

ive had this shoe 4 bout 3 months now and it is really durable and an awesome skate shoe it has really good grip. but the only bad thing is tht it is suede if it was canvas it would be PERFECT but sadly not also u should buy this shoe because u can walk a long time without your feet hurting and it is easy 2 make it new again if you get them dirty
Pros: good, durable, very good shoe, style
Cons: suede

Amazing Shoe!
PostedJanuary 6, 2011
I got this shoe because I just figured I would try and see what skating Nike SB was like. The grip was really good, the board feel was perfect, and it never wore out. At first this shoe seemed like it had no flaws at all. The only flaw is the soul, after awhile it starts to get thinner until its almost like theres nothing their. But with so many pros and just that one con it didn't change my mind on what I thought of the shoe.
Pros: comfortable., good grip., durable., stylish., good flick.
Cons: soul becomes worn out after awhile.
