Courtesy If you lived through—and, perhaps, regretfully participated in—the big and bulky skate shoes trend of the early aughts, we understand why you may have reservations about reading this any further. But the good news is that skate shoes have changed a good deal since we were all trying too hard to imitate our pop-punk heroes of that era.And if you, like many of us, were merely following a shoe trend from the 2000s instead of being legitimately involved in skateboarding—an official Olympic sport as of 2020—we'd like to stress that skate shoes, as it turns out, actually serve a very specific purpose for actually talented individuals.
