The Original Remedyz Skates (1997)
The white Remedyz were made in 97, but they were made for people to test and grommets like me to loath. They were originally distributed by O.U.T. (Once Upon a Time) by vert legend skater Toto Ghali and Kato in France. 98 was the release of the black with red detailing and was released to the general public. Kato himself distributed the skates himself along with the infamous Bryan Bell and Bryan Jaggers in San Diego.
It was the first time I would meet them and they would treat me like family. There I met many other people like Chris Haffey, Mike Leaf, Kevin Smith, Damien Wilson, Nick Wood, Dawn Everett (when she was living there at the time), Jon Elliott, and a slew of others. The skates came with the first fifty/50 frames, but with a weak cuff support and paper insoles, which was easily corrected with a Spensco insole.

yeahhhhh yoooooooo
i used to have those remz
the only problem is you have to break in the groove in yourself and it doesnt have the same grooves we have today
and you cant switch the frames

yeah, these skates are the ones which i was impressed as hell back in the days, i would cum for these :lol:
why REMZ won’t out skates with just simple leather skin nowadays?? the truth is, that the old ones looks much much better than new ones, really, black shell, white leather skin + red insets, if they out model like that i would buy two pairs at once.

they need to make a limited run of these…make your trace your foot on paper then send them to kato to determine your size like you had to back in the day and then wait from them to come in the mail with a bright yellow shirt……..these skates will never be topped.

I have to agree with everyone else. Even though I love how our technology has progressed, I would love to go oldschool in those badboys. They are still hotfire by todays standards. I would take those over a pair franki morales’s any day.

they look ok but i bet they skate like shit

nice looking ones.
I think remz might make the skin “fake” nowdays because some peoples don’t like to have real leather, or the artificial one has its benefits like it might keep cleaner who knows I don’t but I like that its fake skin.
I agree what been said before these looks better than current remz out there:)
They simple but cute.
