Upcoming/recent WACK shoe release thread

[moonordie]

JFC this thread has become an absolute shit show as of late.
Braille shoes being praised, Straye releases being posted and now these Tesla monstrosities..
Can we start a “upcoming/ recent WACK shoe release thread”
My eyes can’t take much more.

Ask and you shall receive.
This could end up in something fun.

[Coastal Fever]

Lace loops!?  WACK!
Puffy tongue!? WACK!
Shiny outsole!? WACK!
Cramped toe area!? WACK!

These 440 Highs!?  Tight as FUCK!

I threw up in my mouth a little because all the shit you listed as wack are things I fuck with

[GAY]

Feel like we could just merge this with the Vans thread.

Indeed.

Nah you meant the Emerica or 'eS thread

Someone finally said what I was thinking

^the top ones are ok.


Not hating but I do not get why people are liking the Shanahan shoe. Even when things aren't my cup of tea I can generally still understand why certain people would be into them but that shoe not so much. His legacy/metric combo thing looked a hundred times better.

I find a funny irony in austyn essentially getting every seasoned rider on globe kicked off just to tank the brand with his shit shoe designs

Were they making good shoe designs before Austyn though? It was shitty generic vulcs and shitty puffy shoes.

[manuduncan]

i kinda fuck with the chelsea boot style globe shoe that austyn had, the dover.

when i saw clips of him skating them almost made me want to buy them but i'm a t shirt and jeans kind of guy, and you kinda need to look/dress like austyn to pull them off

they look good on him when he skates but almost no one else

[drinny]

Every trendy & corpo “cupsole” without a midsole structure… worst con/trend ever bought

[GAY]

I don't get it either...it's a fantastic callback to interesting shoe design. I would never wear it, but I love it.

I guess that's what I'm not seeing. It reminds me of the clumpy DC's crusty demons would get from the mall surf store not so much all the sick pro ones.

Does globe have better quality or better insoles than other brands? Vulcs starting at $89 up to $129 is hard to wrap my head around.

[sweet son of a bitch]

Nah you meant the Emerica or 'eS thread

✔️💯 those recent sliver emericas are vomit. Sucks to be vegan and have to wear garbage.

Definitely, my homie skates a lot and the surplus lasted him 4 months. The insoles are the crowning jewels of the shoes.

the motley mid and appleyards shoe weren't that bad imo, other than that it was all complete dog shit

[Sila]

I see a lot of people skating the Globe Surplus and the mid top a lot. Insoles were very similar to State's from what I can remember when I had the Montano shoe. The sole got soft very quickly. Would not skate again.

[DarkPools]

Globe had some good designs for short while in the last 4 or so years that went under the radar:

Empire (modern athletic cupsole - similar to Etnies Windrow)
Octave & Octave Mid
Encore (they brought it back and modernized the shape)

Don't know if they make Empire or Octave anymore but the Encore is simple good looking vulc with some padding

silver ones aren’t vegan (luckily) I think emerica/ eS have done okay with vegan colorways recently; all black KSLs and brown Quattros spring to mind

Really disappointing to see SPOT fall off so hard; this is a substantial hit to their credibility.
