shoe tech containment thread

[Troubadour26]

A lot of "approach" shoes have a rand or an overlay made of a durable but flexible material, typically polyurethane based. I have some hiking shoes similar to these, and it's like a slightly gritty, rubbery material that's very durable and not stiff. I think that would work great on a skate shoe. Also, the suede and reinforced areas are tough as nails on most approach shoes, since they're basically built to jam into jagged rocks. How about a Vita Dillalike with some decent hiking tech?

I’ve thought this for a while too.

If I weren’t mistaken, they had G2s and a supposedly light eva midsole, and mesh uppers

I genuinely don’t trust slip ons.

[JugeL]

If the amount of heel slip Laced gave wasn't enough, they made it slip on

This is why I was trying to think of, then say

[Tonyhawk-prostate]

Ain’t no way

[Tonyhawk-prostate]

Ain’t no way

skate shoes are getting thicker and I’m all here for it

They have a padded collar now so they might actually have less heel slip for some people but idk anyone who's personally compared existing to the new ones

[Tonyhawk-prostate]

Omg…

[JugeL]

Every Emerica shoe ever

[goodatmeth]

Basic af, but it's a nice classic look and I like them. Now if they don't fall apart after 2 weeks, they might have something.
I feel like every single shoe looked exactly like that when I started skating.

4 more soletechyness

Emerica introduced the e-flick. Which is a vulcanized Cupsole (unlike vans) that combines everyone’s favorite g6 foam with some foxing tape.

“EMERICA'S NEW E-FLICK OUTSOLE. WHICH BRINGS TOGETHERTHE IMPACT CUSHIONING OF OUR BELOVED POUR-IN G6 FOAM MIDSOLE WITH A DUAL-DENSITY SIDEWALL FOR PERFECT FLICK EVERY TIME.“



This technology looks and sounds fucking amazing but it has the ugliest upper of all time soo… Defund soletech? Nah it’s Dakota’s fault. Soletech somehow allowed this shit Xd

It was scrapped

[marcusbutler]

Anyone skate vans LXVI? Loved the midtop one they made.
