Personally I'd say neither if poss, they're both FATs: go for mega's is my advice.

But each to their own. Smile

Yep, Ninja are my current fave (especially 7319). . . the wheel seems to pop out easier than my torches or evo's and I like the styling: these (click me) are my fave kind of ninja's (the red graffiti ones, not the plainish black), although FinishLine are sold out of bigger size of course at that price. . a few other stores still have them tho:

Note that the pics on BeWild are NOT ninja's. . . no idea why, the wheels they show are fats, but when you buy those you do get real ninja's with red mega's. Of course, just buy some standard replacement mega's with yellow (abec 7) bearings to replace them, since the pretty red ones have c-clips and abec 5s, they're best just to keep for show.

And these are some other ninja's only just out - I've already got 5 pairs of ninja's tho, so I haven't bought these yet. Smile

At the minute because I have a knee injury which makes the intensive vert stuff a bit painful, I wear ninja's pretty much exclusively.

But remember to DEFINITELY go up a size or two in Ninja's - they are the tightest of ALL heelys I know, especially when new, around the toes - if you buy them a little too big, it's easy to lace them tighter or add a cheap insole, and you'll probably still be growing anyway? But if you buy them too small. . . you're screwed.

The 7318's you like I wear in a lot of my vids at work. They say they're "navy/white" and come with a blue graffiti wheel, but tbh the wheel looks very close to the black graffiti wheel, and the suede is such a dark shade of navy it's hard to tell it from black too, but there's nothing wrong with black and white i guess, I just find it a little bland style-wise, but they're still a great shoe and ride just as good as the other ninja's, although of course white shows dirt more.
