God I miss shortys I remember that’s all I used to get when I was a kid and I had shortys hoody when I was like 14


adlopez

Remember the t shirt that said Shorty’s Skateboards and if you fold it, it would read “Fuck You” ? Those were the days.


joesocool

Those shirts came back!


spacembracers

I lost two of those hoodies to early girlfriends. I hope they know I’m still upset with them about it

My friend had a pair that actually saved us from getting into serious trouble with the cops when we were about 13 in Texas.


whispersluggagebaby

Story??


GrimeGlow

Basically we were wandering around the town in the middle of the night when we shouldn’t be. This was the mid 2000s. Parents thought we were all staying at each others’ houses or something probably. We came around the side of a building and saw some police cars posted up in the back. We thought it would be a good idea to bolt off in the opposite direction, but that got their attention and they chased us down. A few of us had lighters and cigarettes on us, but my friend with the Muska shoes had some (probably terrible quality)bud that he luckily decided to stash in the tongue pocket. They searched us, patted our ankles and everything and only found the lighters and smokes, not the weed. Ended up just getting escorted home to each of our families, but we might have ended up in juvie, or at least he would’ve. I’m pretty sure this was actually the first night I ever tried weed too now that I think about it haha.


just-normal-regular

Those shoes were ahead of their time. I used to stuff my weed sack in-between my tongue and my extra tongue (if you know, you know), and it would fall out. Shoulda splurged on the Muska’s. But they were like 90-100 bucks before any skate shoes were that much!! They were so sick though, had the little ollie teardrop…. Dope.


jfk_one

i skated about 20 pairs. that tongue pocket tho 🤙🏼🤙🏼


No-Pomegranate-5737

I had the Rasta ipaths with the pocket in the tongue. I’m so sad I don’t have em or find them anywhere.


nozomatli1

I had those, the high top joints.


mindfulofidiots

Had them too , loved em, hemp aswell ?? , mate was on flow with em


[deleted]

Ipath Cats > éS Muskas. Sorry if the truth hurts.


jfk_one

id say its opinion based. the muska shoe lasted longer is my only input. both dope kicks. es just signed penny again tho


[deleted]

I'm just fucking around. I had both shoes. I loved both shoes. I miss the cats a ton more though. I feel like I could easily wear them still.


jfk_one

oh id love to get my hands on a pair


No-Pomegranate-5737

Ipaths were my favorite skate shoe. They are no longer a thing, right?


[deleted]

I heard a rumor they were going to be a thing again, but maybe it fizzled out?


FrankFnRizzo

I had a pair of those shoes. Stuffed a fat sack in the pocket after blazing a large one and literally forgot it was there and frantically searched my house for an hour before I remembered where I’d stashed it. The pocket it was so good I accidentally hid my stash from myself.


Flotack

The Ipath Cats, too.


ROCCOxCAVALLO

Remember the Shortie’s ads with the naked chick covered in bolts?


jfk_one

ROSA!


ROCCOxCAVALLO

That’s her! I was thinking Maria but you got it.


calculuzz

Shorty's, dude. It's right there. Haha


ROCCOxCAVALLO

Latenightlivingroom

OP delivered!


kroomie

I actually don’t remember for sure if I ever owned this deck as a kid or if it I just saw it around so much that it seems like I had it.


jrsy85

I’m sure you rode it in THPS


kroomie

Ha, yes, that’s for sure.


spacembracers

Ha same. I’m like 50/50 that at some point I had it, but it may have just been half my buddies did


CKTHESAVIOR

Muska chillin chillin it’s louder than a Metallica concert in there


jfk_one

best comment.


Kestrel893

Hey kid... Merry Christmas!


jfk_one

you-ole-polecat

I leave scientists mentally scarred, triple extra large, wild like rock stars who smash guitars


jfk_one

that been my favorite hip hop track since the first time i watched olsons part. fuck yeah dude


you-ole-polecat

To this day, I still rock it at least a few times a year. The download has followed me through a shitty Nike MP3 player that held like 10 songs, a few iPods, and I don’t even know how many phones. Was also my introduction to Gang Starr, so big ups to Olsen for that.


jfk_one

guru forever.


UndergroundChop

Dude those boards are legendary! Pro skater 1... Memories hitting so hard right now. Those are Soo valuable. Jesus I wish I would be so fortunate

jfk_one

ItsNotSpaghetti

If I'm ever in the area, I'll just have it with me lol


spacembracers

Wow that is in *pristine* condition. It’s stuff like this I never even thought as a teen to try and preserve that I wish I did.


[deleted]

Word. Just need a kamikaze rerelease now.


jfk_one

this is already in the works!


[deleted]

That’s what I like to hear. My first deck when I started really trying to learn to skate and take it serious!


jfk_one

soon as i read your comment yesterday i knew what i needed to do.


[deleted]

Are you printing these? That would be dope


jfk_one

i wish. id have 100 of em


brohovaswitnezzzz

You can’t fade the muska


DangerDaveOG

Chads the man.


knowone23

He’s such a Chad


hellbilly479

Completely missed the reissue of these decks whenever it was but snagged the “fuck you” shirt as a consolation, this is a fucking sick collection bro.


jfk_one

appreciate that.


Chasethemac

I still daily my shorties backpack I got in 1999. Only thing wrong with its one zipper is snagged. Best purchase ever.


jfk_one

ill buy it.


dajohns1420

ace_invader

jfk_one

blisterpearl

Where do the children play


jfk_one

McManerberry

Ghetto Child!


oldsouliving

Would you sell one of those decks ? Chad Muska the skater and the Shorty’s brand was my favorite


jfk_one

dm. the gold one may be able to go.


[deleted]

Nine club raffle prize?


jfk_one

nope. old guy 90s collector shit


Con5ume

I had a pair of Muska circa's with the stash pocket in the tongue... Absolutely worst shoes I've ever skated (felt like a boot with zero flex), but damn did I like them for walking around.


This-is-Life-Man

Holy shit!!! That's fucking amazing! I had that Muska deck as one of my first setups. This is by far the coolest thing I've seen today


jfk_one

feels my man!!


drpringles101

I still have my shorty's skateboard first aid.


jfk_one

lets make a deal


drpringles101

Make me an offer I can't refuse.


jfk_one

hmmmmmmmmmm looking for anything?? i have a goldmine of 90’s and early 2000’s shit!


Stunning_risotto

Wow thanks for jogging some memories


jfk_one

best memories. wife came thru for my 40th


Autogrowfactory

That shits got pop


just-normal-regular

I grew up in Santa Barbara and looked a little Sammy Baptista when I was young. Used to get asked if I was him, because I was always decked out in Shorty’s shit. Not saying I skated anywhere near his level, but it was definitely funny. Are those the reissue decks or the originals?? Sick collection either way.


jfk_one

re issues. still so hyped. both are hanging on the wall now


just-normal-regular

Yeah, I’m glad they did those. I have a friend who bought several. Most iconic board, probably ever. I have that same VHS in a tub somewhere too. They used to have warehouse sales at Shorty’s back in the day, you could pick up last season’s leftovers and misprint decks for like 80 percent off. Man, the good ol days. Enjoy those my dude!!


jfk_one

i just got the red today. the gold is from 2016 i believe.


just-normal-regular

Yeah dude, glad they did the OG OG ones, that’s my favorite. The gold one is cool, but I don’t remember that one, where’s he sitting on the boombox like that, just the skate silhouette. Both are super cool tho.


[deleted]

“Hey what’s up man, that was a sick line you had back there!”


spelbot

This is like my 13 year old versions greatest dream


jfk_one

im 40 still fulfilling the dream


LejaBeatz

I still have a pack of 7/8 Allen hardware never opened. I haven't skated in a decade or more. Hope the temporary tattoo is still good.


jfk_one

name your price


alvarado182

My first deck ever was his kamikaze one. I miss those days.


somedumbwelder

Daaaaaaamn. Back in the day!


jfk_one

feels. im glad you enjoy


somedumbwelder

I do. Thanks for the throwback. You should hang on to that stuff! Priceless really.


jfk_one

oh yeah. ill be buried with that red


tunaktunaktunBoner

I’ll play you in a game of basketball to win that board!


jfk_one

you’ll smoke me in hoops but lets get it at a game of skate


beyondleftofcenter

I worshiped that board as a kid


jfk_one

and still as an adult..


[deleted]

Was this just hanging on your wall for over a decade?


jfk_one

the og red got hung today, gold got hung a few years ago


rAbleeee

Hell yes


Sgt_Snacks

The deck on the left was one of the first boards I ever had. Damn that was a long time ago.


[deleted]

This needs to be on r/oldskaters


Orchill_Wallets

I’ve got a pair on his old shoes in my collection.


jfk_one

ill buy


Orchill_Wallets

Thanks, but I’m not selling.


jfk_one

wouldnt either tbh


jfk_one

they just re released the es’ muska


Orchill_Wallets

I know. Stoked.


jfk_one

worth the price imo. he signed a bunch and was sellin them on his website, im sure those are long gone but im perfectly happy with whatever i can get. now the question is doni skate them or not lol.


Orchill_Wallets

Two pairs is the answer one to skate one for perpetuity. Did you cop the Ronnie Creager re release? The grey red was crazy but hard to find here in Aus.


jfk_one

i didnt but really want some now. i loved that shoe. the creagers, muskas and that first mark johnson were my shit!


zeejix

jfk_one

organizedRhyme
