back when i used to skate (96-04), i NEVER wore skinny jeans, couldn't stand em then, can't really stand em on the lady boys now... even the Smoke team i rode with didn't wear em... never seen lance mountain, cabballero, Koston, muska, burnside, lee, mullen (well maybe mullen), wear em either... guess i come from the old school, and not a fan of hopping on caste fashion... that and i couldn't see doing a fakie shove it down a 12 step in tights....
not saying that i wore/wear homey G pants sagging around my knees, but i wore decent, loose fitting lightweight denim... these days, about all jeans i have are low rise boot cuts... i got a pair of loose Independant pants, a pair of Volcoms that are pinstripped and a little too tight for my likings, but they have a good cut...
just not a fan of the skinny jeans, i thought they were retarded when they got popular in like what? 09? and still think the same way now, shit, i don't even like em on women, they flatten the ass out and make the legs look funky... dudes that wear em can be cool, but not the pants...
they just remind me of emo kids, and late 80's early 90's punks...
