KSL G6 in 9 and 9.5 for anyone in the US:
https://thisskateshop.com/products/emerica-ksl-g6-black-black-gum?variant=44333117866229

We got a vegan Josl1n Michelin and a Windrow from Etnies:



That white vegan Josl1n looks awesome. But I would remove the E on the side because it is red. I assume this is some sort of synth leather material, how does that hold up compared to suede?

I got some vegan Club C's and the material feels great, even softer as the normal Club C's leather. Great everyday shoe.

Is there any New Balance synthetics coming to Europe this spring @rothdigga, there only is 440 and 272 but only two tiny sizes left on the site here for each model (like 40 and 40.5, I'm 43). Shame as the V1 440's in the black look great.

If you're lucky enough to be a size 11.5, NJ Skateshop unearthed a pair of old stock NB420s in a decent colorway, for only $30

Just found out that all Adidas Originals Stan Smiths are vegan. I know it’s technically not a skate shoe but people have been skating in them for years and I’ve skated a few pairs in the past. If you like simple cupsoles I highly recommend them

Have 2 pairs of the vegan ones, what makes you say they're all vegan now?

The first four colorways from the left are vegan:

Does anyone know what colorway the synthetic #440v2 is that is supposed to be out around June?

it’s not much different from the current colorway to be honest. The white is more creamy/ beige though. There’s also another hit of color on the added stitching, but I’ve only seen the samples so not sure if it will be the same when they finally drop …

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Has last resort always had the canvas/vegan tab on their site? Never seen it before till just now.



Also asked them about vegan CM001's looks like it's Pontus replying hahahaha

Yeah, they’ve had that tab for a while. An animal-friendly CM001 is definitely on my wishlist as well.

The newer Etnies cupsoles are only available directly or through Zappos, from what I’ve seen. Anyone have luck finding them from a shop?

Material descriptions of the XLT vary depending on website. I’m not sure what’s synthetic so I’m going back to NB#. Plus, Rowley kills animals for fun…I don’t want any of my money going towards him.

I can't find any NB# in synthetic here in France in my size unfortunately.

The MARANA MICHELIN X TFTF is a nice looking shoe but only available in size 35. Shame as it's clean.

That sucks that there’s not official LRAB vegan cupsole in the works …
Rowley XLT are really hard to come by, but I’m fairly sure I know which ones are/ aren’t synth.
Wouldn’t it be marvelous if Etnies did a brown Sal 23 vegan colorway?
I think I’ve got enough of a stash to tide me over until I-path or Matt’s new brand out of Japan drops something.
NB #440s fit me so weird and my foot sits really high up in the shoe when I drop a custom insole in them…

Ordered a few new shoes.

Etnies fader
éS Muska
Rowley XLT

The rowley Xlt has the animal hide symbol on the materials sticker…is the blue/white pair on the only vegan one? I bought the white/yellow

Vans wouldn't know how to label a shoe in 2024!
Dime collab, all brown, all green as well as the white/ yellow are synth (I think there is also an all white version but don't quote me). All the other horrid colourways and "lux" versions are animal hide.

For reference, I paid premium for a pair of the superstar Adv x always collab adidas and the sizing is very tts imho
Love that there is lots of room in the toecap too
Quality looks very solid at first glance, defs  worth it if you can cop for rrp
