It's like the Harbors (who was a halfie with a hint of Era) and Blazers had sex.
-
so who else is getting a shoe? BA I hope?

Yeah further down the road but if koston gets one he's gonna get a shoe before anybody
-
looks like a blazer/habor/dunk hybrid. i probably wouldnt wear it (even though this is only a sample), but its good omar's getting a shoe.

they come with some kind of reebok pump system that if you press it, you hear omar say his "whoow"

reminds me of all the bad things I don't like about simple shoes?
-

I back this dude getting paid! I might even buy a pair for him. Sacto Bro Nike Pro Shoes. I bet him and Stefan are stoked.

i really like that huf lighter even though its white
-
Pretty ugly shoe if you ask me. I guess he couldn't just blatantly rip off the Blazer too bad though.
-
BA's shoe is gonna be sick if/when he gets one.
i know it.
koston's might be cool too though, i'd rather BA get one 1st but we all know that aint happening
-
what the hell is flywire. hopefully when realeased they do something about the baked potato look theyve got now. dude deserves that check
-
why the fuck is everyones initial reaction to say "this is a _____ + _____."?
-
I might buy/wear these. I bet there 80+ which is a no no..
-
I back Omar! Can't wait for his shoe.....
-
Damn. I didn't think he was getting a shoe so quick. BA definitely needs one as well.
-
BA deserved one way more. but still a pretty sick shoe and omars radical
-
To be honest, I like those way better than the stefans. (skate-ability wise)
If the swoosh was a different color, i might consider.. even though i generally hate nike.
But than again, if their ever onsale, and have a plastic swoosh. I could always just cut it off

Real talk, and more real talk...

Pass.
I cannot believe that Omar got a shoe before BA. Weak.

I agree but it seems like that's how the industry goes. Popular dudes get models before guys that have been killing it for ages. I'm still amazed when I see that Supra Antwan shoe banner.

For real. Baker 3 isn't even that old and that is the first time I heard of Antuan. Next thing you know, dude turns pro out of no where and has a shoe. I actually like his skating but dude hasn't put out nearly as much as other people out there that have almost nothing to show for. If he was to ever mess up with Ellington, Greco or Reynolds, the guy would lose everything cause I can't see him on any other sponsors.

i don't think BA not having a shoe is like folks are thinking.
he has a shoe "in the works", but he's a picky dude when it comes to putting his name on things. he's actually been skating a ton of different sneaks of all brands for like a year now to see what he likes and what he doesn't. i think when his shoe does come out, it'll be exactly what he wants and will be amazing. as I understand it, he's really insistent on taking his time and creating a shoe that is on point (whatever that means in the mind of BA) as opposed to "mixing up something hot" and throwing the name on it with a swoosh. not saying that's what Omar did, but that's why Brian's isn't further along than we'd all like. he hasn't been denied the opportunity, he's just doing a lot more work to get it right. this was probably influenced by his past experiences at savier/nike. BA's doing it right. never doubt the beast.

not that bad but i don't think i'd wear them.

This is a stretch, but my first thought was the DC Howard II. The top eyelet reminds me of the reversed strap on the Howard II, and even the colors are somewhat reminiscent of the navy colorway. The heel panel kinda looks like that stock laser-beam backdrop that you took your elementary school picture with... but it's just one colorway. It's going to be hard to break into the blazer's market (stefan vs. harbor will be an easier win). I'd give them a try, for sure.

what the fuck are you kooks talking about? antwan's amazing and deserves everything he has. omar on the other hand is just not very good at skateboarding and will never be even remotely close to ba's level.

I was talking more or less why BA didn't get a shoe. BA should have gotten a shoe a long time ago before Antuan got his. I like his skating but I just don't think he deserves a pro shoe already.
-
kind of weird, but omar seems kind of weird.
kind of like a work boot plus a blazer. hopefully they mess with the shape of the shoe a bit before they release it.

booty.
even for nike SB standards,

omar doesn't deserve a pro shoe on nike. antwuan is on another level and deserves everything he gets, one of the most gifted skaters ever imo.
-

Like seriously dude. What the fuck is Nike thinking? Whom ever is feeling that shitty shoe is a clown, straight up. I would not let a fucking "ollie pro" design a shoe. There's a multimillion dollar company's name on the line! Or maybe it's the dudes responsible for the Angus, or the URL that got another stab at the 'skate shoe design' thing.

really stoked omars getting a shoe, not very stoked on how it looks, but GROSSLY overstoked on the existance of square one mids.
-
i like them
-
People need to get over the Half-Cab ripoffs already. It's BEYOND played.
If you like the cut, rock the OG joints. Otherwise, someone needs to go ahead and create a nice, sleek, and sick-looking skate shoe design that eliminates all of the unnecessary bullshit and gives the skater a nice, solid profile. Flat, wide toe, padded collar, no excessive stitching because that shit just blows out.
C'mon, let's put all of these years of skate knowledge to use instead of just re-hashing the ol' trendy shoe of the moment. I want to see some sick new skate shoe design. I'm over the Half-Cab rips. Enough already.
-
dude deserves that check
they would be the first nikes i ever buy... BA needs one sooon
-
ugly. i was hoping that his shoe wouldn't be all trendy and hypebeast-y, but they are.
-
I like them quite a bit, although I do think its strange that this guy is getting a shoe. BA definitely deserves one.
-
BA's working on a shoe. I read some thing about him skating Chukka Lows at a demo because he's trying out different types of shoes to see what he likes.
I still don't get why Omar gets a shoe before Supa or Reese, though.
-
at least they're trying things. give them time to get the shape right (assuming thats just a trial shape because I have to agree, it's not that pretty, they need to spend more time fixing that shoe up). As for the BA gibberish, they're not trying to put out a ton of bland shoes, they're trying to put out a bunch of DIFFERENT kinds of shoes that fit DIFFERENT functions. You're looking at it from a stand point of, hey, he's really good and needs a shoe, and Nike is looking at it as, we're trying to put out different shoes that aren't generic vans rip offs, we don't want to be lakai. His shoe will come when it can stand alone and as it's own shoe. To be honest tho, there are a lot of dudes on there that should have a shoe, paid more dues, did their time, lance mountain is a great example. They're really trying to make a few quality technical skate shoes, quality, not quantity when it comes outside of dunk/hypebeast territory. They're actually giving a shit and trying to take big nike tech and putting it back into the SB division. That's hella more than adidas is doing, and LIGHT YEARS ahead of CONS. I don't see a valid reason to hate nike. they're trying to prove their worth as a shoe brand and they think they can make a better shoe and are actually trying, which is more than I can say than a lot of "skater owned" companies that are milking it like gravis, and even ones that are exist to ride the money wave like dekline.

are you serious man? do you really consider this a half cab rip off? they only two things they have in common is - big sole and mid top.... that's seriously it.
-
oh and pssst idareyou... nike owns cons...
-
They should just cease to give prod shoes now and hook reese forbes up with one. the 3s look a bit better but all that dude's shoes tend to be horrible. compared to all the killaz on the team paul sort of sticks out like a sore thumb.

Get your eyes checked.
Seriously, if there are people who are THAT blind (both literally and figuratively) on here, I need to find a way to make money off of you muthafuckas.

its just a regular looking blazer...
-

CONS is a converse property which is owned by nike, so by extension, CONS and nike SB are the same thing ? and that means they work on each other's shoes and sit around at a camp fire discussing ideas ? lol are you regular ? they're two completely different brands doing completely different things with their shoes. CONS reports to converse, not nike, likewise, SB reports to nike, not converse. they don't have anything to do with each other except being under the same roof. they aren't the girl/chocolate of shoes.

halfcab rip off? are all midtop skate shoes halfcab ripoffs?
i think the shoes looks rad..the back is a little iffy but who doesnt like that ill toecap
-
Pass.

Probably because they don't give shoes to GAAAAAAAAYS.
-
Who are people hating on? Omar Salazar is one of the most exciting to watch skaters ever
-
Rumor is he walked into the NIKE HQ and said he wanted a half cab but with better material this is what they came up with so far.

Still waiting on that BA shoe. ;D

DING DING DING! We have a winner here!
Y'see kids, through time I've developed this really cool stuff called "common sense" that helps me see things clearly. It's a lot of fun.
Questions:
Was there a midtop skate shoe before the Half-Cab? Wasn't the very reason that Half-Cabs were invented was because kids were cutting down their hightop Cabs because midtops were not yet available? And by that logic, isn't it safe to say that practically every midtop skate shoe is in that way derivative of the Half-Cab? And do the thick white sole and the angled strap/panel at the ankle of the Omar shoe not only support the rigors of his gnarly skating, but support my theory as well?
Answers:
Nope, yes, yup, and yeah.

Is that FTC SAC? where is the case?
I saw omar skating them today. they look like good skate shoes. that firewire stuff sounds dope

so much potential.
Should add an Af1 type strap, make the toe piece shorter, add suede heel piece, hide that flywire shit, or get a 3m swoosh.
