But the Italian leather is caffeinated, goes against your core beliefs.
Also, there's been a few HRS threads recently, all exactly like this one.

I believe in those cute little loaf-tassels down to my core.
Nothing skate about this.

Did they say this is a skateboarding shoe? No.
Is Villager meant to make you skate better? Can you only be a skater and drink Villager? How about Saint Archer's before they were sold to Anheuser?
You see OP, you are an idiot.

Those loafers appeared to me from heaven, in a groove in NY first. I've got the breastplate to prove it, I just can't show you.

Sounds so pretentious. 'hand made Italian leather loafers". Nothing skate about this. Sounds like they've lost the plot. However what that they've done has ever failed? They've got the golden touch.
I feel like Lucian Clarke has also lost the plot, skating around in that Louis vitton armless jacket nonsense. Get a grip. I guess he's a perfect fit for this non brand then!!!
Can't wait to see someone skating these loafers.
WHATEVER NEXT?!

my biggest qualm with this is the fact that ellington had some amazing shoes on supra and emerica and so did herman with 3-4 solid shoes and they announced they'd left their sponsors to start a new brand that ended up being loafers
Fucking lame as fuck. Anyone who thinks loafers are appropriate footwaer should just focus their trust-funded life.
I remember Greco wanted a Gucci/Armani sponsorship, like 10 years ago. I'm ok with this.
If I was a hot pro and Adidas wanted to give me my own olympic weight lifting shoe, I'd take it in no time.
look, these dudes know the money isn't in skateboarding shoes. so they're starting this brand and making loafers to appeal to the other 98% of the world that DOESN'T skate. And they know when they DO make a skate shoe, it'll be somewhat accepted because of the status of EE and Herm. It was the same with Supra. This is a FOOTWEAR company, NOT a skate shoe brand.
Just because you skate doesn't mean everything you need to do has to be skate related.
All other arguments aside, why the hell would anyone want to wear fucking loafers of any kind? The trump of footwear.

I get extremely upset when someone wears Under Armor or Skechers shoes.
But I wanted skate loafers
how did anyone land on the name loafer for a shoe style? when i think of a loafer, i think of a fat guy laying on a couch eating potato chips and watching golf, and i assure you, hes not wearing shoes.I think of someone with two loaves of bread for shoes.
loafers are comfortable, you probably dress like shit, fuck you

all my footwear is comfortble, why would I buy any that isn't? ergo, no need for ugly shoes, just because they are comfrotable

Absolutely not. However, you can't make a company consisting only of skateboarders and post clips of you skateboarding in the shoes and not expect people to be confused about what's going on. This is not a strict "fashion brand" and it's not crazy to expect something skate focused/inspired later on.
if I was going to buy loafers, I would buy loafers from an existing loafer brand, one that specializes in loafers.
They never explicitly stated that they we're starting a shoe company but Herman posted videos of him skating in a pair of shoes with the caption "Starting a new shoe company with some friends. Tre flip wear testing. Coming soon..." Which would imply the shoe company would produce at least a couple skate models. Plus with all the skating related posts I feel that EE and Herm have too much respect for the industry to make a lifestyle brand riding the coattails of their former glory
