Post UPCOMING shoe releases thread

[DaSk8D00D]

i like the regular dunks much much more but i can definitely see all the preppy suburban kids wearin the LR's

[frank gerwer's nose]

is it me or do the vulc dunks look so unnatural and wrong?

Yes, now soemone can corect me here because i may be completely wrong, but the owner of my local shop told me that all nikes team shoe will say sb, but all the pro models won't so they can sell them in mall shops but not team shoes (exluding ccs) so i guess that would mean those aren't made by nikes skate program. again i could be wrong

I heard more or less the same thing.

[Strike A Pose]

If the vulc Dunks get some more exciting colorways I could see them sticking around.

something about these just looks so weird

[The Math Professor]

another thrasher collab.

they shall be mine

Are those Lakai Marc Johnsonskis?

Why is everything a rip off of something else?

There are only so many sneaker designs that work, and if you want to call those a rip off, janoski mids are really just a rip off of vans chukka boots which are just a sneaker version of a design that had been around for years before that.

I know... I know... I was just talkin' shit.  Nothing to get too serious about.

Got some Fallen Jack Curtin pro model kicks

take back





(I mean, I'm not psyched on the blue or the red color way either, but those black ones are fine [with different laces...or none at all], and the grey ones [not pictured] look so fresh. I was bummed when I found out Vans stopped making my precious suede slip-ons, so I'm hoping these'll come close to being a replacement.)

Yeah. They stopped making the Classic version (which for the longest fucking time, the only way you could get a hold of a pair was ordering them direct from the company) a long while back, and kept the stupid (but better than nothing) Pro version around for a couple months, but then eventually pulled those too. fucking sucks.

You know what a pair of shitty old sweatpants are to an elderly man that wears them everyday?
thats what my suede slips were.
thin fabric that prevented the world from seeing my hairy, wrinkled, disgusting appendages that too often, go unused.

Man I'm super bummed Vans discontinued the suede slip on too. The pro suede slip on is still around, but somehow feels inferior to the suede classics. Hyped to have one last pair, gotta give em plenty mileage.

Nope. Sorry Zinger, I wish i was wrong about this, but even the Pro suede is no long in production. any you find out there in the world of Vans Outlet stores or the dusty shelf in the back of your local shop, are the last of 'em. Trust me, I know, I check the ol' vans.com shop every month or two just to see if they've come to their senses and brought them back.

Edit: decided I'd check yet again after posting, and apparently they might have these ugly red fuckers still

I prefer skating black shoes but get stuck with some bright colors sometimes, just get some suede dye! Cheap and effective. About to do these up myself:

[Dutch]

I'm strangely attracted to these.  I love a good dunk low.

nice, hope they drop here in holland soon!

They took SB off of all the shoes so they can sell them in mall shops.

Looks like it might have the stitching of a gazelle/bruin on the toe box.

How do the slip on pros run, length wise? also the plus site has normal black suede in a 12 and the grey aloha in 10 if that's at all helpful

[escapistfool]

Anyone ever tried skating those Rod Laver Adidas?

[cookieboy]

I'll probably end up getting a pair. Remind me of the coles and I really liked those. Anyone know if these will also use the whole super suede thing?

On the Tactics site, it says:

-Heavy duty suede upper
-Super suede toe

so I'd say you're in luck, ol' boy
