Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

[Idk]

Those are black and white but not the classic colorway. Those haven't been released as pros yet.

Reynolds pair in vid doesn’t have a foxing stripe too

Also white seams on boss'.

Am I wrong to be surprised Mike Arnold ruined what could have been an amazing shoe if he just chilled out on the colors? Or just picked better colors. All black everything with white stripes would have been the one.

I'd be disappointed if all he did was black with white stripes. Why have your own colorway if you're going to pick the most basic, common colorblocking possible?

Thanks for the pics, tangar. Those are definitely nice but not the "OG" colorway. They do have the classic "half-cab" logo on the tongue and heel. But they are missing the traits of the foxing stripe and stitching:

I guess they are finally coming out with the OG color and I hope the same shape as them. They look much nicer than the pros that are out now.

[tangar]

Right on I totally didn’t recognize those differences. The only other pair I’ve ever had were classics with the red side logo and I think white stitching. I haven’t even worn my pros yet cause I bought them right before the apocalypse

Honest answer: better royalty checks

Sizing on the Figueroa TTS? i.e. the same as Reynolds G6/ SB Dunk/ NB# NM440?

yes you are wrong about all of this. all of it. none of it is redeemable. such a boring suggestion for a pro colorway, especially when every other adidas shoe has come out in all black with white stripes. the predator colorway is also incredibly similar to what you are suggesting Mike Arnold shouldve chose, but why would he if a very similar shoe is already in production? honestly they'll probably make what you're asking for in a couple of drops if the model sells, but since you asked: yes, you're wrong.

tl;dr: you're wrong

edit: self-isolation is driving me crazy.

Damn they made that copa nationale sole all black instead of grey.   Ruins it enough for me that I might go for the original colorway

God that massive logo on the heel sucks.

Not trying to prove anyone wrong here, but just want to point out that the current shape of the Classic Half Cab is not the OG shape. The shape changed a lot around 12-13 years ago when Vans changed factories. Before that the Half Cab had a much wider shape and toe, sort of like looking down at a SK8-Hi. Then they got more pointy. I prefer the ones from before the change. Still have a pair kicking around that I wear sometimes.

Not sure which version is more similar to how they would have been in the early 90s or whatever though. Old photos they look kinda pointy too.

I actually really like this one! Might order it too as a more neutral option... kinda stoked on this shoe at the moment. Gonna try to do a socially distanced sesh this week just to try them out and see if they feel good on the board.

It’s weird that their site product images still show the the grey.  Reminds me how they swapped out the Arto NM# from the advertised version to an all suede version.  That one hurt the most

It's hard to say obviously with everyones foot being different shapes and what not but in every Emerica I wear it's always been TTS and those fit the riders that have been asking for them in their usual size. Hope that helps.

I skated multiple pairs in a row and I'd say they fit pretty true, maybe just a tad more snug in the toes/forefoot due to a more low profile toebox. Loved that shoe. Had both these colorways being re-released, and those brown/gum were my favorites.

Oh. I'll just buy and wear this Predator one then. Same as I bet Mike Arnold does. Although his come for free.

(I did also say just pick better colors for the details. The turquoise and lime is an awful pairing, let's be honest.)

And like the other guy said: for the checks.

It probably has changed a lot from then to now. I just prefer the pointy ‘92 shape as opposed to a wider sk8-hi toe area like you said.

Can we all just agree that the current Half Cab Pro shape is garbage?
I swear Vans is using the same last for all their shoes, that's why the current half cabs look all flat and long like slip-on pros do.
Remember that photo of Reynolds with his banana-foot half cab pros?

The tan ones in the next couple of slides are nice.
