the first ones look like bootleg chucka lows, the third are bootleg manchester selects, and the fourth are bootleg Hsu's. the second one needs no hacking. I'm a huge fan of habitat so i still like them and they're shoes. just pointing out. Guru is a boss

I'm guessing they're made by Gravis???

are people supposed to skate the basins (second shoe down)?!?!!!! …and i think the Ibex (last shoe) looks more like carrol select mids… https://www.exitrealworld.com/tools_v2/resources/...

It is called supply and demand, you must emulate the shoes that sell. Don´t trip chocolate chip, they´re still clean looking shoes.

Coo some of the guys from Sole-tech left to help these guys make these shoes. these do look bootleg?
thats how Element started? bootleg shoes to start ,then after that you can try to get creative! I personally like them all? but i could only skate in the Ibex which clearly is a vans half-cab. I also noticed they dont have pros ,only Ams!

DUDE, CAN'T WAIT TO BUST A BUTTERY TRE IN THE BASINS. HEARD THEY HAVE THE BEST BOARD FEEL, SOO ILLL. ONE LOVE.

you're a loser

These look good but they are ripp offs? does anyone try to be creative these days.

The lark and Ibex look like adidas. I really think the Basins are hella ugly. But the Lark is pretty cool looking.

why is he a loser? it's considered proper etiquette to provide links to the owners website. not that transworld did it on purpose. he was just looking out. grow up.

Well yes, you can rip off other styles in order to satisfy the demand but Thatdude337 is trying to say that there is no creativity in trying to make a shoe of its own. They don't have a "self style" like other companies have done. Who said they couldn't still satisfy a demand with a completely new style? Maybe they could make a new thing (shoe style) that would turn out to be a hit! Though, they chose not to do this. The first shoe is just a more complex vans - chukka low. Way to copy.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:01 pm
I agree but every skate shoe made is a copy off of some kind of Vans shoe. Most companies made a shoe that looks just like the Chukka low.

Supra came out with pretty much 100% orginal desings…
November 23rd, 2009 at 10:42 pm
they really do, it's dc took all of the vans half cabs.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Yeah i Guess supra is the only ones that are creative. These look like vans ! wait ! they look like Es?
wait the look like everyone else.
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:49 pm
they look pretty cool, but they look like they would get fucked up really quick
November 24th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Fuck ya vegas!!!
November 24th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
the third and fourth ones look like lakai manchesters and carrolls, but they still look pretty sick tho
November 26th, 2009 at 2:10 am
I agree I think that they would get fucked up real quick. They need to make them with a nillon or pollyester out coating.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
first models the besssst
November 26th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
the basin is gay
November 26th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
the Basin are clearly for hiking so i dont know why everyones bitchin about having to skate in them. cause you're not supposed too.The theme of habitat is nature, therefore why not make a shoe designed for people who enjoy time walking around it. I personally think they're tight.
November 26th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
you guys are all complaing that these shoes are gay and they are rip offs. then you say they need to be creative and original.. then they make the BASIN. which looks creative and original to me! then you hate on that shoe. little kids just like to hate on everything these days. then one month later they end up buying what they were hating on a month earlier

December 2nd, 2009 at 1:25 am

December 3rd, 2009 at 6:32 pm
They look too much like Gravis. If they fit anything like Gravis then they're in some big trouble.
