AVE posted about his new pro model on IG. Claims he was working closely with the designers for the past 2 years on it. I’m sure after the initial marketing push is over, he’ll never have a photo in it again, just like the first AVE Pro.

Cool photo though!

Check his eyes around 1:26 when he says “this is exactly what I wanted”.
Maybe I’m projecting SLAP’s collective displeasure with this offering onto him, but he seemed to be trying to convince himself, as well as the viewer, with that line.

Def projecting. He’s doing a sales job, but it doesn’t read insincere at all.

Def sales job, but eh, you’re probably right; that’s why I called myself out.

Diego has been wearing funky colored ones that look interesting. I just am not a fan of the “tongue” logo that AVE has been using

Dancing on Thin Ice clips were mostly in the AVE1

Not sure if it’s been said, but that sick thing on the AVE 2.0 might only be for the initial launch.

I’ve seen samples for later colorways, and there no sock on those.

The fact that their head shoe designer is named Neal Shoemaker oddly does not inspire confidence.

Imagine how floored the hiring team was when they read his name on his indeed application lol

I fuck with it and I like that Vans is trying something new, but I also liked the AVE Pro 1. I just don't get why AVE is getting this design - I guess because they're hoping he'll help them sell? I think it probably worked with the AVE Pro 1, but that one seemed like a logical leap from what he usually wears. These just seem way out of left field. But yeah, I'll wait until they're on sale and try them out.

Weirdly, looking at the catalog for the other, non-sockliner AVE Pro 2 now, they seem weirdly bulky. I never thought that before haha.

Good to hear, and I’m in the same boat. These sockliner is not a skate shoe. That shoe will be done in half a session with that nylon. Idc what tech they put into it.

Probably because no local has or carries etnies. Quick google search and the only 2 places I found the snakes listed on were etnies actual website and zumiez.

Not to derail this into another Sole Tech thread but someone tried to make the analogy that everywhere in the city carries Nike, but our local is the only shop that carries Sole Tech, therefore we make up a bigger percentage of their sales compared to Nike SB. Given this analogy you’d think Sole Tech would want to maintain a good relationship with these accounts but obviously not.
Obviously Zumiez is a bigger account than any local but you’d think they coulda given the heads up that Zumiez was gonna get to drop these first. Constant D2C sales and now giving Zumiez priority, Sole Tech seems to be doing everything in their power to get accounts to drop them.
