How do I not absolutely vandalize my sneakers
So today I moved from my beloved Af1s to a DC court graffik (sue me I know) but I'm too scared I'll rip them completely and I'm not a fan of buying a new sneaker every 3 months. I started skating about 2 months ago and don't do any tricks but I find it pretty fun and I do some entry level stuff like rolling in, going up some ramps, going up a quarter pipe (about halfway) and gapping small gaps. I go about 3 times a week and spend about 4 hours at the park. I can't Ollie yet but I'm pretty confident I will by the end of the summer. What I'm most concerned about is ripping through my sneakers. I just can't afford it and as a teenager you guys know how important it is to go to school looking at least ok. I don't mind wear and tear on my shoes (my Af1s have torn where my ankles sit but that's no problem) I'm not digging having a massive hole tho. Maybe it's just me
