these are the vons plons
I might get these. When do they come out?
They drop on the 28th, currently skating a pair.
My first thoughts:-when I first put them on the upper was pretty uncomfortable around the toe box (maybe that's just my foot). Pretty thin and you can feel some seams/venting. As you wear them they work in a bit and that goes away.
-the sole is probably the best (in a high tech way) sole Vans has ever made. Firm and high shock absorbing.
-really pointy toe (seems like all the new Vans have this Zahbas, Rowans, etc...) I know lots of people love the pointy toe to me it feels a little step away from the Vans DNA always, I'd love an authentic shape toe on something like this.
-narrow in the arch of the foot but widens a lot in the toe box, I have a slim foot and it fits perfectly in the arch and is a little wide for me in the toe (nothing major), so I'd be interested to see what someone with a wide foot thinks of them.
-incredibly lightweight
-super breathable
-fits really close the foot, kinda like the Koston 3 where you feel like the shoe is an extension of your footy, which is rad.
