General Comments

First of all ES Koston 3 shoes are pretty expensive I got these shoes for about 80 dollars or so at my local skate shop. These shoes are comfortable but really really tight, but that is also good so your shoe won't fly off your feet easily. These shoes look exactly like basketball shoes and are pretty good for basketball, I think. The white/blue koston 3's look exactly like the addidas T mac 3's blue/white. Although the design on these shoes are nice. When talking about performance wise these shoes are heavy. I learned a lot of new tricks on these shoes like kickflip, heelflip, shove it flip, and I learned how to do higher nollie and nollile 180's so these area recommended if. These shoes are really good for heelflips. The shape of these shoes are pretty good for flip tricks and ollies. These shoes have a reasonable amount of board feel. A good thing about these shoes is it wont give you heel bruises at all. These shoes have lace protectors so people out there reading this you guys don't have to worry about changing your laces so often. When it comes down to the strength of these shoes I only got one word: AMAZING!!! These shoes are like made out of titanium or something. The Koston 3's are leather very very strong leather. I've been skating in these shoes the longest out of all my other skate shoes. About 6-7 months and I've been skating every single day and I'm a pretty hard core skater and my grip is pretty strong and I do a lot of flip tricks and ollies, and let me tell you it looks brand new after 7 months. In the kickflip area it didn't even go through the first layer, it just turned a very very hard to see blue, and that's it, and just some stitches ripped, seriously. In the ollie area and heelflip area it just ripped a little but it still looks new!!! If you're looking for some good strong basketball shoes then get koston 3's. And if your not very rich and cant afford to buy too many skate shoes and want a nice design that performs pretty well then get the Koston 3's. I have black/gold ones but I don't skate in them anymore. As for money wise it may be a little expensive but it will last you ages so I guess it's worth every penny. GET these shoes and you will want another pair and another and another and another until you and your family has absolutely no money and has to live on the streets! So get these and you'll be a happy little skater kid.
