Shoes
Very stylish and comfortable shoe but doesn’t last as long as a lot of other shoes. If used as a daily shoe it will probably last about 6-8 months and even less as a skate shoe
Chuck Taylor All Star - The Most Iconic, Ever. Converse.com
Very good looking shoe and sticks to grip tape very well. It does develop a crease very easily like Jordans or Forces but they are a lot better for skating.
Lowland 2.0 Shoe in Black / White
Very good looking shoes that last super long I’ve had mine for over a year and no sign of them being too worn out anytime soon. Very good cushion for impacts on a board and grip on grip tape
Shop Old Skool Shoes

Despite being extremely popular they have a great selection of the popular brands like Element, Santa Cruz, Alien Workshop, Affliction, and many more like that
Zumiez
No physical location but they have everything Revive, Force, and AmGrip. Affordable and great selection
Shred Quarters

Good long lasting trucks mainly for normal trick boards

Great riding trucks for most boards that last a while and are stylish. I personally have only used their longboard style trucks and they have continued to perform great
