Airwalk is the brand of shoes that imitates other brands, right?

Question

The other year I bought some birkenstocks [Love 'em. Comfy&Stylish] and well, actually that is totally irrelevent. Sorry. But I did see some Birkenstocks that looked...I don't know, fake. Then I saw the brand name Airwalk. Henceforth, my question. Answers very much appreciated!

Answer 1

Airwalk actually use to be a good show company. Thy started out as a company making skate shoes for skateboards. Then in the late 80's when skating was the "in thing to do" they went more mainstream. But they have kept some of their look over the years. I remember back in the day if you had a pair of Vision Street Wear shoes Airwalks you were cool as a ice.

But have seen some shoes recently and yeah I think they have sold out also.

Also good thing on the Berki's they are the best. Heck I wear steel toe Doc's at work with the Berki insert in them and they are the best shoes for comfort.

Answer 2

I dunno-- all "skate shoes" look alike to me. I don't know who's copying whom anymore. When I was in college (10 yrs ago), Airwalks were on the same par with Vans and other street shoe brands. They have a different styling than the others, with more heel padding and a thinner tongue, so I never have thought of them as being a knock-off of any other brand at all. It's just an older brand that has become so manistream as to be cheap (think Jordache jeans), and as a result has lost market share because people always are looking for something newer-and more expensive.

Answer 3

yes, they do. they copy shoes that are expensive and then sells the same size with muce less value. They sell vans look-alike and it has the word "airwalk" on the back.

Answer 4

yep..airwalk is just cheap shoes that are "in style"

Answer 5

yeah....they make like fake Chuch Taylors too....i would suggest not buying them

Answer 6

yes its sold at payless.
