i love cupsoles but i feel like DC is going a little hard on this throwback thing.

i dont think most kids are ready for thick puffy shit like that just yet
[close]


lol they're gonna do limited releases for like 4 shoes... paced out throughout the year. its not like they're pushing a full revamped line from 1998. all there other shoes are the typical vulcanized bullshit

Isn't the dunk a retro cup sole? and everything adidas releases?
[close]

Yeah - all of those slim Adidas vulc shoes just reek of retro, puffy cupsole...
[close]

sorry for the confusion... Heritage throwback styles. just saying there isn't anything that anyone has seen for 20 years other than that hypebeast fucking awesome thing

i think you're confusing our criticism of DC. We are saying that we don't think it's a good idea for DC to be going so hard with these huge puffy shoes. I think they would be smarter to do slimmed down re-releases if that's what they're gonna do, or just do 1-2 models that are really sought after like the Lynx.

I don't know anyone fiending for a Syntax reissue but idk maybe they're hella forward thinking and jumping the trend.

They are doing that.

They are also doing that. Even after the Stevie releases they've only done 5 true re-releases of original models.

If they were to get rid of that weird half shell toe it would be the closest thing to the og campus vulcs circa 2007-2008.

Nothing can be close to the OG campus vulcs... such a good shoe for the time that particular construction lasted.

I'm really surprised Adidas hasn't made a cupsole skate Campus in recent years. When they started back up with Lem Villemin, Tim O'Conner, ect. they had a good looking campus skate I wish they would return.

Fingers crossed we get a reissue of the Lynx HE
Seems kind of off for them to do the HE model of the Lynx as a reissue.
If anything they will follow the Legacy route and make a slimmer Lynx.
The HE was a good shoe though, I just don't see the logic for the brand to remake a version that was in many ways less iconic and successful than the original.

The changes the made to the legacy look like a great improvement but I can't say the same for the Syntax. I feel like the shoe would be more attractive if they stuck to the pointer toe it had originally. That boxy toe and flat sole just leave it looking trashy imo.

I'm really keen to see how the Stevie's turn out.

Edit: Just saw that the Stevie's are to be a true re-release so nvm

^ For some reason I thought that shoe came out a few months ago as an online only release?

I'd love it without the thrasher logo (I'm sure most of you would agree)

Looks like someone at Adidas found an old Gravis catalog. 

The black ones look like a beefy Pharrell Tennis Hu in a good way.

It came out 30 years ago as a half cab.

Probably going to give them a try in the near future.

for real, it's 2018 how are some people still oblivious to the fact that there's a Pappalardo who still puts out content and a Pappalardo we're ashamed of who delivers pizza or sells scrap metal in Brownsville or some shit.
