I consider those grey sidewalls to be a badge of honor, a natural sign of actual usage. Your preferences might vary. When I was a child skateboarder, you could tell the real skaters by whether the paint was worn off the "tail" of their skateboard deck (we all used plastic "rails" on the middle part of the deck, but those rails are out of fashion). I remember stories of "poseurs" who would take a belt sander to the skateboard decks to rapidly achieve this broken-in look. Not unlike the dumbass $200 jeans sold today with the fake distress. I prefer to buy my workwear jeans in dark indigo for $20 a pair; they look nicely broken in after just a few years of regular wearing. I should bottle and sell a compound that instantly turns your sidewalls a studly mottled grey!
