-PR9-[close]
Every time I pick up one of the new Hyperfeel models I can't help but think Nike is saving a shit ton of money on labor and materials.Less stitching, fewer layers - just glue sole to upper, drop in extruded foam insole (that now takes the place of midsole and in some cases, strobel). Charge same amount or more.

Only products I will ever buy from them are either Blazer mids or Dunks purchased on sale at skateshops.

None of those thick Lunarlon insoles will save your feet, and no other insole fits right in the shoes. Also, that Hyperfeel thing is a pure gimmick. I tried the Bruin Hyperfeel on foot and they felt like bricks, really stiff, no "feel" whatsoever. I think you need to go through a break in phase for those shoes when I really thought they were aiming for a instant broke in feeling with those. I just hope people dont burn retail price on those things and get them on the low!

They all look the same to me. Last shoes I skated were vulc bruins that lasted forever. Just started skating some GT blazers.[close]The CK is slightly wider and stiffer than the others. Bruin, GT, and Janoskis are identical in insole shape, they just fit differently because of last construction. I hate the way GTs feel on my foot, but love the All Courts and Janos. Try to get more vulc Bruins if you can find them. I wish I stocked up on the dark red SE. Best skate shoe ever, and I usually go for cupsole. [close]Thanks.The tread pattern on all 4 look the same. I feel like the bruin has a deeper tread than the GT Blazer. Bruins were also narrower. The blazers fit my foot better.[close]Depth on all 4 should be the same, but could have small variances from factory to factory. The last (shape) and tape are what changes on the rest. Bruin has a slight incline and original blazer texture on the sidewall with stars on the bumper, CK has a mellower texture tape and a wider last, GT has lower sidewall tape height and no texture on the side, original blazer has the taller, more square tape with the old texture. [close]Dont the blazer mid and the janoskis have a deeper tread? I was almost 100% sure about this. The gt blazer and the bruin look like they have the same tread as the non skate blazers that is a little thinner and shallower. But maybe I'm wrong cause you worked on nike and know this better than me I'm sure ahah

I'm glad i got them for 60% less. I dont know how's the Staple structure. It is a drop in insole construction too? If it is the fp's may sit a lot lower and feel too thin to skate.

Rod 8, Lunar Gato (Gato is thinner)[close]Lunar one shot too... those and the lunar janoski's have the same sole construction, that is similar to the BA's/prod 7 (the lunar gato was more like a in between i think) but thinner for a better boardfeel. I dont like how thin they felt too but at least they had a better fit than those drop-in insoles, i feel like they had more substance to them. The emerica g6 cupsoles (herman, reynolds, westgate) had a similar construction if you're looking for something close, just the midsole was the g6 foam instead of lunarlon.

Charge same amount or more.[close]You're totally right about saving in cost and charging more. The margin they make is fucked. Only products I will ever buy from them are either Blazer mids or Dunks purchased on sale at skateshops.[close]I dont like drop-in insoles, I think that no mather how good the insole is a good midsole always does a better work. None of those thick Lunarlon insoles will save your feet, and no other insole fits right in the shoes. Also, that Hyperfeel thing is a pure gimmick. I tried the Bruin Hyperfeel on foot and they felt like bricks, really stiff, no "feel" whatsoever. I think you need to go through a break in phase for those shoes when I really thought they were aiming for a instant broke in feeling with those. I just hope people dont burn retail price on those things and get them on the low! [close]interesting. i know the BAs work well on you SKATAN. Those work amazing on my feet too. The Koston 2 and Cons KA 2 which both have the lunarlon insole worked really well on my feet with barley any pain.. I just skate the Lakai Staple vulc with the FP insoles and couldn't get em to work.. [close]I have the Koston huarache's which have the same outsole/insole as the Koston 2's and i think they arent anything special. The fit was tight as hell in the first time, gave me blisters, and i feel like the lunarlon insole is somehow overrated. They work better on my modified chuck taylors (were they feel like an actual improvement) than on the koston's. The mix that the BA's or the Prod 7's had that was a lunarlon midsole with a ortholite insole worked hundred times better when it comes to cushioning, support and confort. I'm glad i got them for 60% less. I dont know how's the Staple structure. It is a drop in insole construction too? If it is the fp's may sit a lot lower and feel too thin to skate. [close]yes i agree 100% on how the prod 7 and project BA had the lunarmid sole with the thin insole. that worked way better than the thicker one thats on the koston one and two as well as other models from nike/cons. did any other shoes have the same midsole as the project ba/prod7? i tried the lunar janoski's but they felt too thin[close]P.

They all look the same to me. Last shoes I skated were vulc bruins that lasted forever. Just started skating some GT blazers.[close]The CK is slightly wider and stiffer than the others. Bruin, GT, and Janoskis are identical in insole shape, they just fit differently because of last construction. I hate the way GTs feel on my foot, but love the All Courts and Janos. Try to get more vulc Bruins if you can find them. I wish I stocked up on the dark red SE. Best skate shoe ever, and I usually go for cupsole. [close]Thanks.The tread pattern on all 4 look the same. I feel like the bruin has a deeper tread than the GT Blazer. Bruins were also narrower. The blazers fit my foot better.[close]Depth on all 4 should be the same, but could have small variances from factory to factory. The last (shape) and tape are what changes on the rest. Bruin has a slight incline and original blazer texture on the sidewall with stars on the bumper, CK has a mellower texture tape and a wider last, GT has lower sidewall tape height and no texture on the side, original blazer has the taller, more square tape with the old texture. [close]Dont the blazer mid and the janoskis have a deeper tread? I was almost 100% sure about this. The gt blazer and the bruin look like they have the same tread as the non skate blazers that is a little thinner and shallower. But maybe I'm wrong cause you worked on nike and know this better than me I'm sure ahah[close]Blazer and Janoski have less herringbone "fins" so it looks like they are deeper, the fins are more concentrated in the Bruins etc but there should be a standard thickness for all those vulc outsoles, with variance of maybe +/- 1mm or so, maybe even .5. I can't say for sure but I haven't cut any apart yet, but that's what it should be.

I am digging this more than the black heel.I've changed my mind about the Bruin hyperfeel. Initially I thought they felt a little long in the toe but after wearing them around a bit they fit perfectly.
