Luckily , at Across the Board , they had one last 10.5 pair , and on sale - it was probably the fastest shoe cop I ' ve ever done . I could swear that as soon as these got on my feet , I got instant props for them . The comments were coming more so from skaters , saying " bro , those Hsu 's are sick ! " or " Dope Hsu 's dude ! Making me want to go get a pair , " but even non - skaters were giving me compliments and even contemplated getting the shoe .

Question: Why were you so happy to receive the compliments ?
Answer: I care a lot what other people think about me and I like to get attention confirming that I look goodNone of the above choices .I know the guy who makes the shoes and it felt like a compliment to me as wellI wore these shoes before they were cool and so I felt like I was starting a trend
