For a while, Dan Lutheran was skating the cupsole Sk8-hi from the BMX line.

My guess is they couldn’t anticipate if the shoe would do well or not, so instead of making a ton of them and multiple colorways, they make a small run and see if they do well.

Yes. A couple sessions in so far and I am not impressed. The previous Manchester cups were much better IMO. I want to give them a couple more sessions before I make my final verdict though.

at least kwalks is trying to do something different. he may be revisiting vans silhouettes from 98 for inspiration

Maybe it’s the XLK sole? Last Lakai cupsole I skated had the XLK cupsole as well, and I didn’t like them. Felt so soft with no support.

I hope the Carroll 1 re-issue doesn’t use those and I don’t think they do, since I want to grab one when they come out.

Damn I don't love the design but I feel like these will be an excellent shoe and in plain black would probably look alright. The Normal Kyle walkers are great and the slip on exp is really good

SlapTM · « **Reply #36614 on:** February 28, 2020, 01:29:16 PM »

We just launched a bunch of new slip-on colorways. Got a few more out that you can see on the site as well as a burgundy colorway that is made from Wolverine pig suede to match the Dickson burgundy colorway.

Yep, I got a pair and can say that they are very soft and don't support my arches at all.
Bummed.

Really disappointed with the shoe. The toe is super narrow and pointy, making for a weird look and fit. I skated five pairs of the sheffield XLK in a row before trying the manchester, and the sheffield is way better imo.

Why don’t you like lakai?

don’t like the way they look and 4 negative reviews of the XLK on this page alone

nickelflip · « **Reply #36623 on:** February 29, 2020, 11:05:54 AM »

Dunno what's with the delay on the Dicksons, but I got a pair when they accidentally went up on the site for an hour the day Green came out. They have the desert tread that the Provider shoe was originally supposed to have (same tread pattern as the Figgy Dose, but a vulc version).

Other than that, some subtle upgrades to the Wino G6... better tongue straps, little bit more premium feel to the shoe as a whole, the rubber "flick shield" underlay, which is very low-profile to the point it's unnoticeable. It doesn't add any stiffness like I feared, the shoe still breaks in instantly. Feels like the rubber will flick nicely when I wear through the suede, too. Great vulc for $65.

They're dropping on Tuesday. Some shops have already gotten them in and we like to give them a couple days of selling them before we do to get customers to go support the local shops.

Thanks for the support and review. Glad to hear you're liking them!

Really pointy and narrow, with a longer toe. Also, at least for me, the bottom of the tongue meets the toebox in an awkward place and bends into your foot. All I did was try a pair on. Didn't skate them.

I liked my XLK Sheffields but it sounds like Lakai messed up a Manchester re-release yet again.

That catalog was only SP20. The Servold slips on FA20 which will be out July.
