Emerica currently has the Romero and the Figgy G6 as synthetic suede cupsoles, but I imagine it's the "for a good price" aspect that's holding you back on those. I don't blame you, I'm also waiting for those to hit the sale section before I pull the trigger
They’re [Figgy G6] $75, instead of $90, on Tactics. Using the 20% off code brings them down to $60. Not the best, but the only other vegan shoes cheaper than that, are probably canvas CTAS.
Even with the added heel cushioning, I’m skeptical about the Romeros. If they’re $20-40, I’ll definitely grab a pair. The Figgy G6 caught my eyes and I want to stock up on those when the price is right. However, I do want to see what colorway the vegan 440v2 is…hoping for blue or gray with black soles.
I have some black spanlys, the new Leos and also some sand Quattros all on ice at the moment. If you are coming off a G6 outsole the laced are gunna feel pretty thin, I haven’t skated mine yet, but they’ll probs just be for chill skates (whatever that means as a 45 year old). I really wish they did the figgys in another colorway but that’s just me being fussy.
I have seen the new vegan 440, but it’s black! Not like the first model, and it also has some other subtle colors that make it pop nicely, but it’s Defs not blue or grey…
@kneebone vans are just outright lazy at this point and I doubt they’ll ever be able to win me back as a customer, what happened to the non-limited XLTs? They really could have cashed in on the hype after the Dime drop, but they just let it fizzle out…
