Any pics of the Stevie Slim?
Really don't know why they don't make a Lynx Slim. Would undoubtedly sell better than a Legacy Slim or a Stevie Slim which they seem to be going in on pretty hard.
Is it just me or is this pretty much the only slim that has been done right? Nothing major, just a quiet slight slimming of the original. Fucking perfect.. If they did this to the Lynx, with the panels and the runner toe and the somewhat chunky looking sole too but just a little slimmer.. It's perfect for modern skateboarding.
Also, those white stevie slims look amazing. Goddamn.
I will agree that this is the best example of a 'slim' variation on an old classic that we've seen, but I also think this is the wrong silhouette for the slim treatment. I personally think they look ridiculous.. borderline comical. The original makes sense because they are huge and ghetto as f*ck, which fit Stevie's aesthetic at the time.. but these are just awkward looking. Not particularly stylish or sleek imo.
I'm personally not impressed, it looks like the exact same shoe but with slightly less padding and a much slimmer last.
At least when they did the legacy slim, they changed the paneling on the upper as well as using a slimmed down and updated version of the OG legacy outsole, giving the shoe an overall "modernized" update. Although there was plenty of changes on the slim, it still kept the design lines of a Legacy and looked very similar while looking somewhat relevant to today's skate shoes.
The Stevie slim looks practically identical to the OG, just awkward looking
