Cody Chapman shoe dropped recently. What's the deal with this sole? I assume it's one of those cupsole/vulc hybrid things but it would be nice if someone finally made an actual cupsole hightop.

not a lot of options but

Looking forward to the AVE 2. That other thing? Not so much.

I'm pretty sure the Lizzie is actually a vulc. The Crockett High is techically a cup but Van's Wafflecup tech is barely a step above a vulc. I would go as far as to say the same for the NB 440 since the midsole only goes part way up the sole. I've also been searching for a proper hightop cupsole lol

Those new Vans are... interesting? I guess I'm glad they're trying to branch out but I couldn't even see AVE wearing that.

I like both these alot. I'd like to see some better cw as I have enough white shoes in my closet to choke a horse. Sadly they'll most likely both be pushing over $120 or above when released. But this is the type of shoes I've been asking for Vans to release, actual cupsules with a midsole, so hears to it!

yeah, side panels are more santos, toe is more cab 6-ish… didn’t Dollin have a bulky cab mid-top shoe with something similar in the toe?

If they are gunna drop tech shoes though, they need to do the monk ii

adidas pro models

[oyolar]

Those are lakais cupsole they call xlk.
Unless I'm reading it wrong?

Yeah, XLK is a full cupsole. VLK is their more supportive vulc. Or it was for a while - not sure if it has become their main vulc construction now.

It’s so weird that they won’t just call the shoe that Cody (and Simon) designed a ”pro model” like they’re doing with Griffin.


I’m interested in those AVE2. I love the AVE Pros so I’m interested in seeing them in other colorways - especially white with a black jazz stripe. Love that colorway.

Not sure how many shoes he would of spray painted but this photo looks like it's prob a Santos 2 or a cab 7 or something

I think it's like on videos/sight unseen time I'm thinking of but can't find the photos I want. He's wearing wierd mish mash kits like a yellow swishy jacket and stripey sweater

[Mean salto]

These look so fucking good. Fuck that Shanahan shoe off this is what actual return to interesting 00s design should be. It's the actual good details not just a big block.
Wierd it's called the ave 2 tho aves had like 10 pro shoes on vans and pretty sure he's already had one called the ave 2

[TurdyBird]

Anytime Vans goes super tech, it’s jarring to me. I’d personally be ok with them reinventing classics like they usually do, or just having a standard version of their og line up that’s more made for skating. They stay in business with their OG’s, and waste money with their techy stuff but what do I know

The ave’s are sick. The other pair is interesting. But I expect vans to drop the ball.

[lamfordie]

Do we really expect AVE to skate in those shoes? I dig the design but idk if he will be skating in them.

[JugeL]

Only thing Vans needs to do is to put suede on the side of the old skools instead of canvas

He wore the last one and he’s had some teases wearing this one on IG.  I don’t think he’d wear THAT colorway, but def the shoe.   

The yellow part is the insole?

Was going to say that. Definitely a Santos 3

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Why is no one, literally no one, talking about these?

Classic silhouette, classic colorway.
I ordered them immediately.

Probably because they're Vans.
A lot of people used to love Vans, myself included, but the change to Skate from Pro screwed up the fit bad enough for me to stop caring about the brand. Also the feeling totally changed and there are some people on the team that I have no interest in supporting.

I fully back this.

But ... my nostalgic feelings won this time
(I used to LOVE this shoe back in the day)

where did you get these ?
SP24's AVE doesn't look like these at all.
and they don't look like the ones Ave was wearing a few weeks ago

Edit: i just checked it's the Fall24 model.

Not to mention that their insoles have consistently gotten worse and lots of the Skate line has had foxing delam issues on the vulcs and some Waffle Cups.

The brand isn't doing themselves any favors by going from Propellor and killing the momentum by releasing a bunch of shoes and colors that don't sell. Their prices have risen and even taking account inflation the product just isn't as durable or well designed as other skate brands.
