Thoughts?

I’d love to get a pair as soon as they make a vegan model. But as I it is even the canvas ones have suede in the toe.
-
I find this part VERY interesting. That would give a really cool look, and the canvas could have different colors, materials like denim, and still be long lasting.
“Suede placed beneath the canvas of the body surface, creating a double layer”

I doubt they’ll ever do a vegan model, for a good year or two I’d comment on their insta but to no avail… funnily enough when the first dropped they did a white microfiber version of one of their shoes
-
These look cool. A full canvas or veg option I’d be down for.
-
i've known about them since they did a Skull Skates collab and they had a gig where they put a slappy curb in the livehouse and had people skate it while the bands where playing. apparently that was in 2019.
its funny too, like i understand it cause it's a japanese brand, but they don't even make my shoe size.
i think i have some diy magazines they put out or atleast were featured in a lot too.
they've also put out a lot of cool footage on their youtube and instagram pages. and i've seen quite a fiew people wear em in japan too. they seem to be doing good.

This one reminds me of an old Ragdoll Crimson ad.

Looks like more of the same.

Seemed like such an innocent toy
He was the All-American boy
Got a skate at eight years old
Now the story can be told
Beware he's possessed to skate

Seems like something Eric Dressen would be into.

Interesting, the high tops look pretty nice. I’m planning on visiting family in Japan in May so I might try and check them out in person

We get it, you're with the brand. Now is time for you to understand that we don't care about generic looking shoes and surely we're tired of the amazing and never seen before canvas + vulc combo.

at least they put a bit of thought into them regarding the backing/ design and also their insoles. I mean they are probably better designed from a function perspective than say LRAB even if their aesthetics aren’t exactly ground breaking

Wowww. This thread was music to my eyes. I’d never heard of this brand but they look incredible. I’m a big cons guy that mostly skates ctas but obvs go through them very fast. I ordered the high tops in these to give them a try.

Agreed! I'm hoping for a all black vulk

I’m not try to mock you alls taste, but theres a lot of excitement for an extremely generic looking shoes and I do not understand why.

It’s a legitimate take and I see your point. But I actually like them because they’re so generic looking. I’m stoked at the potential for a much longer lived bland, nondescript shoe than the ones I currently buy and wear out on repeat.

LRAB called, said you should criticize them too!
-
Shoes are not the type of shoes that I skate, but plenty of dudes do.
I will say that the skate rat logo is horrible!
-
the low top "slappy" looks cool. if i start making more money soon (hopefully i'll find some work but it's been tough) i'll definitely buy a pair to test.

They look like padded chucks, like how the cts was. I loved the cts so I see the appeal

I don’t wear vulcs so I can’t answer that portion but it seems like this brand made some (much needed) improvements on some classic silhouettes and people are digging them, the fact they sponsor Gou is probably a mild factor too? Being a Japanese brand I would also bet that the quality is better than LRAB

I can see that, I did prefer the older chuck design

I forgot the dudes name but he used to ride for consolidated who is one of the founders or original riders for this shoe brand. BA.KU. has some ties as well. Either way, yeah they aren't making anything new but I mean, look at their slip on compared to vans, they look like you can actually fit your foot into theirs. I'd def wear these if they had any US distro. Little too far to be ordering all the way from Tokyo and I wonder if they'd arrive sitting at the post office waiting for me to pay customs fees or something like that.

Mini rubber toe cap gave me Vietnam flashbacks
Fit is true to size, also comes with extra white laces all around for $70 free international ship I'm happy with what I got.

Cool shoe.
Reminds me a little of the Adidas Nizza

Was going to say I don't see the appeal either. But I was a big fan of State lol. After seeing those photos I'm liking em though.

What an odd little shoe. The look reminds me of something that IKEA would use as a display for a shoe storage system they're selling. If I had a dollar for every time I've accidently taken home a IKEA display model, I'd have exactly four dollars. Clearly it's a Vans/Converse hybrid, I'd have to try it on to make a real decision for myself. At least out of the box they have removable insoles, LR didn't do it for several releases and even touted it as a feature. I like the look, even if it's pretty basic. Poked around on their website and saw a pretty interesting model called the Boneless One, looks like if the Vans Era and Vans Chukka had a lovechild. Probably will order soon.
