So the new herman shoe is around $85 which I feel is a bit overpriced (espestialy for the emerica customers) so I actually want to know; how many of you guys are going to get a pair a the new G6?

yes

$85 isn't too bad for quality shoes. As said before, you get what you pay for. Besides you'll be able to find them on sale SOMEWHERE before long. Ill probably cop em eventually after go thru my latest pair of dunks

I'm all over this shoe as long as they keep the black gum as a permanent color.

i'm buying the black/aqua colorway for sure, reminds me of the classic MJ2 and the days of yore when tech shoes dominated

Got a pair as a Christmas gift. Really lightweight and comfortable. Sole is grippy. Good padding throughout the entire shoe.
Haven't skated them much because I'm waiting for my current shoes to give out. When I have taken the time to skate them though, they're pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favourite shoes of all time.

spot had shoes for 20% off for the holidays, and they give you a 20% coupon for entering their giveaways, surprisingly the two discounts stack

damn! I saw the 20% deal but I didn't need new shoes so I passed it up but I didn't know about the giveaways! damn! I might go to my local shop to get mine in the spring just to be "core".

Have you skated them yet? results?

Not a fan of cupsoles. Ill stick with the reynold cruisers for now

"for now" is the key phrase here... I love the cruisers as well, but rumors are spreading that the new Provost model is going to fully replace the Reynolds Cruiser model.

That's what it's looking like. His shoe is the same style, just better technology.

Precisely. Plus, he's a ripper anyway. He deserves a shoe for sure.
I've also heard rumors about the Figgy shoe... No clue on any details yet though. I was assuming a laced/cruiser mash up, but Mr. Provost is already doing that one.

That review Clemens did is pretty spot on... damn near perfect shoe in every aspect... I put kingfoams in mine and must say it fully solves the heel lock problem he talks about

got um for 66 online, damn I hope that isn't true for me, the only thing I got going for me is I have a pair of Adi Ease that I don't skate that are 10.5 and I normally wear a 10 and they fit fine so hopefully it don't matter. They should be in tomorrow, also shit weather though

My pair was awesome, from ventilation to durability. This shoe has it all.

Still in good condition after skating 3 weeks in them.

I'll try to get some more colors in the future.
