I have been using Blackspire Sub Four pedals on my Bombora, and SimWorks Bubbly Pedals on my Sam. Both are pretty great and I'd recommend. The Blackspire pedals are suuuuuper grippy - almost too grippy? Whatever, I don't hate it and they do feel really nice when ripping around on trails. The SimWorks pedals are just really pretty (got them in Copper). Not as grippy but honestly a good amount of grip for my purposes with the Sam, and a nice platform. Look a bit chunky, but I'm over it and actually enjoy the way they look.

They have a nice platform but my Vans/Chucks would slip a bit on them. Not sure if you can put pins in them, but you may not need/want them. For what it's worth, my wife absolutely hates these pedals. I think it's because she has shinned herself more with these pedals than any others. I have another bike coming and I may try some composite pedals - Kona Wah Wahs or something like that.
