Was at the local today when the Vans rep was showing of some shoes. Not sure how pre-booking works so maybe they’re just samples to test shops interests, so I don’t want to be eXpLiciT with what I saw, but I was interested and I think ROWAN might be TWO
I remember seeing someone post new XLTs earlier this year, pretty sure they were samples on Rowley's ig story. If those actually drop sometime this year I'd cop for sure, because their attempt to cash in on the fat shoe trend with the new knu skools felt off for me. The proportions are nearly identical to old skools, it's like if they took an old skool and crammed more padding in the tongue and achilles without make anything wider.
XLT confirmed along with Rowan 2, which looks closer to a AF1 than a dunk like some thought.
the XLT was white leather (or whatever) colorway. Everyone commented on it when they came through the shop, so it seemed popular enough to be granted
i thought Rowan 2 looked like a slightly more tech Rowan 1, like the next stage in the Pokemon evolution. Instantly identifiable bc it has the same toe cap shape
Saw a new MC96 colorway (the classic blue/white Guy wears in Mouse)
Also spied what could be a Zabha mid
lots of good color ways for the classic models
