Hate the redesigned XLT- even asides from the colour way. Really why not just rerelease the original?

Wait what do you hate about the redesign? I have a few pair and they are extremely close to 1 to 1 on the originals.

I get the colorway hate on these, def not for me.

Non-VCU is more likely to be wack, especially when it comes to colorways. The majority of the shit in the Vault line is gross.

What do you not like about them besides the fact that they aren’t 100% replicas of the original? From the VCU line, the only shitty colorway has been the navy/pink Dime one. Impact support and padding are good from the two sessions I had on the weekend. The only thing I don’t like is how fast they wear from flip tricks…going to avoid low-impact/flatground to get the most out of these.

I posted those guy Ferrari ones a while back in the upcoming shoes thread …
Anyway, vans needs to realize that this is the XLT not TNT’s first shoe, leave the wacky colourways for the latter!

Until today, I have never wished to be colorblind.

They must know that they're making a mockery of the shoe.
