I guess Vans is going to make more of the Retro Anaheim Styles - pretty happy about that.



anyone find it humorous that the "Anaheim factory collection" clearly says made in china inside?

You really can't make vulc shoes in the USA. Maybe back then in the late 60's and 70's it was ok. Only cupsoles shoes are allowed to be made in the United States.

They're good to skate till you do your first ollie and instantly tear them appart. So I guess you should leave them off the board.

Seems like the toe panel of the city cup flops around once the stitching is torn, did Adidas not learn after that was an issue with the Samba advs? Such an easy fix...

Ive skated 2 pairs of the flaco and have a third pair next in line. The sole lasts forever as does the toe.

yeah seriously, it was a great fucking shoe and the only one that didn't have a big stupid flare on the side.

*heart eyes emoji

yeah the fact they didn't have a big flare and stayed with "subtle branding" - a little tag- made me like that shoe a lot. i was riding a lot of DVS at the time and liked basic, fairly wide shoes

I’ve been eyeing those Salems...hopefully their waxed canvas is on par with what Gravis used to have.

Any chance those Telfords are on an xlk sole?

They're vulc, just look at the crease along the middle of the sole, instant giveaway its not a cupsole.
a "reissue" means to bring back a previous model EXACTLY as it was, not to modernize it for those who have a problem with how shoes actually are and are too sensitive to slightly less board feel and need instant satifaction. How do you make a cupsole have better board feel? you wear them in and they'd last so much longer than any vulc shoe ever would with instant/too much board feel...at least my generation understood that

Ill at least explain why I havent liked them for a while now: they are doing nothing special anymore, and its at if they see what people say they want Lakai to bring back in comments all over social, and do the opposite. Their designs are all so boring and they slightly change a design and call it a "new model" for the next season or two coming up, example: one of Guy's last pro models was slightly changed and is now Stevie's. then the Howard Select was slightly changed and became the Ellis, the Manchester was for a half a second the Sheffield XLK but that is gone, and Vincent's pro model was slightly changed into the Sheffield...the creativity is gone in my eyes, and all they cater to are those who love Vulc shoes but anyone who enjoys skating more than flat needs variety with soles, plus Lakai's haven't lasted as long as they use to back even 3 years ago...idk just my opinion

Sorry, I'd been harboring in that rant from my friends for a few months now. Glad someone else gets it

I'm of your generation, or older. But shut up and just buy different shoes.

The canvas is dope! it lasts forever and has a rubber backing under it. Skated some canvas salems for almost two months.
