loveskateshoes blog begin...

Hi there...
this is my blog, and I would tell any stories that I could share...
This blog dedicated to my big love of Sneakers specially skate shoes...
I've made the loveskateshoes as my e-mail address since 2000 as just for fun...
Then I recognized special thing within the name, that showing love of what I like the most, my entire life...
I've used to be average kids with small mount of money that I could use to purchase a sneakers, ain't the same with most of wealth kid that can easily havin' this or that, and have a pile of sneakers at their house...
My skating were started at the age of 7 or 8, elementary era...
I used to watch my older cousin skate with their orange plastic skateboard, it's late 80's to early 90's I might presume, then I ask my father to purchase me a skateboard, I live in the Makassar back then, so it's hard to get a skateboard at there. Then after I got my own, I hardly have a big crush with it, even though at that time I didn't make any skate progression to higher level cuz, there's no skate community at Makassar back then. I skate my house, swerving around my parents collection of their big pottery, learn how to tic-tac (though I don't know their name was), learn how to snap the tail without knowing it supposed to be the initial start of ollie-ing, slapping at garage, and worried my mom, just because my early age to learn skateboard. Oh yeah at that time I didn't wear any skate shoes or most nowadays kid might said rockin' kicks, yeah rockin' kicks, how supposed I know, I got no information bout it (but then I thanks Allah for that)...
Why I thanks my god for didn't letting me get all the information I need to knowing skateboard ?...
Cuz then I realize, I could continue skating instead of schooling, hehehehe...
Then I got moved to Jakarta at 1992 and still have my skateboard, but moving in to bigger city gives me different view, cuz know I had lots of friend in my neighborhood (since I just have a friend around my neighborhood at Makassar, Ikhsan Sube to be exact), and they all have big love to soccer that's what o what I might getting into then. I realize then, older, now I mean, I have a big love to sports, whatever the sport is...
So I've left aside skateboarding and jump to formal shape of sports, and I enjoy it so much, I play soccer,  basketball, volley and most of sports I could find...
At Jr. High school, most of the "cool kids" at school actually skate, but I'm not cuz honesty they were not the exact pack that i want to join with. You know the initial state of cool kids at High school used to be bullyer, they think they were the "it" boys and girls, i'm cool kids kind a, and I'm not like that...
I just.....me...
Then I got second strike comin' up, I got big love to sneakers. At that time it was 1996, and it was NBA mania and most of kids collecting and trading NBA's card, and collecting Basketball Sneakers. Unfortunately, me just can have the collecting and trading the NBA's card, cuz it's been so expensive to collecting Basketball Sneakers at that time, for me, though might get different to other kids...
After that it just dealing so so, I scooping around with local sneakers that my parents allow me to have (which I have to thanks my parent they thought me a good lesson, the initial state of be gentle to your wishes). The 1st  Basketball sneakers that so major for me is Fila Basketball Shoe, I can't remember the name was but it mostly change my vision back then, then I got Converse Skatestar, which most kid wore them at 1997. My father brought me a pair of white and black Air Jordan XII around 1997, when he got his business trip to USA, damn ! yo know, I got it first cuz there's still no ads around Indonesia at that time that showing these pair of new AJ. Unfortunately, the pair I have were to small, my father forget the size I have, so I can't wear them long enough, but then again, Thanks dad, love you...
Then I moved to Bogor and got into Sr. High School it's kind a shock for me, from the big city of jakarta then move to Bogor, start over from zero, well again thanks Allah for that...
At Bogor, I start things over, I've found a skate community that fixed me well, and through that my skills have been brushed up. As well as my love for sneakers, it rose despite the economy breakdown Indonesia had on 1998. I skate well for years, thanks for friends and parents that letting me to, and then I collect, and filled my sneakers enthusiasm more. Ain't just rockin' them to show off, I slashed with em', I skate around with sneakers I had, and the stories goes on...
So start now, I'll share, some of my big enthusiasm for sneakers, and skate sneakers more...
If you like this, enjoy it...
and I open up for critics and advise...

  1. Thanks for adding the new information, as well as your analysis. This is why your blog is one of the few I read that I also ever bother to comment on. I don't do it to hear myself talk - I do it because I know you actually listen.
