Ordered some Adidas Tyshawn last night, excited to try them. Anyone else in here skate these yet? I’ve heard they’re lace eaters but aside from that they’re a solid shoe
Haven’t skated mine enough to eat laces. Solid shoe. Surprised at the value, so far. Real reasonable retail. Just got the solid black w/gold accents. Suede is showing discoloration quickly, but no seams, stitches, or gluing is popping. I like the shoe. Insole is minimal, put some running insoles in. I like the height, and the overall shape, from a functionality standpoint. Not my fave looking shoe. The sole rubber is firm, hard even, not necessarily in a bad way. My last shoe was the most recent ave shoe and that shoe was also very firm. The ave was probably more stable, felt very difficult to roll an ankle in that shoe. These tj’s and my body mechanics result in a little lean, inward (I’ve forgotten which that is? Supination?), but it’s workable for sure. Overall a good shoe. My last 4 shoes that I’ve liked (outside of aj1s which I was trying to stick with) have been the legacy slim, proto, ave, and now these. And I’d rate them all pretty well.
Trying to hold out for tiagos
very surprised to hear the ave felt that stable for preventing rolls, always thought they looked like they’d destroy my ankle. really love the Proto aside from my heel blisters breaking in, recently scooped legacy slims and im looking forward to skating them. heel support is big for me and it looks like I’m on a similar shoe trajectory as you.
My feeling with the AVE’s was that the shoe felt very stable, felt like my foot was lower in the shoe, no tippy. I feel more in the sole than on top. remember the shoe being cut low, so there was no protection from shark bites.
The legacy slims were really decent for me. Great value, decent cushioning, shoe lasted longer than I expected, width was perfect for my narrow heel, wider forefoot. Slightly less volume in the toe, materials were kinda stiff.
Tbh I probably like Jordan’s more than any of these shoes.
The Protos and the tyshawns probably felt the most similar, both are more narrow, harder sole.
It’s been so long since I skated regularly, and longer still since I was decent enough to have opinions worth sharing.
Ability and dedication aside, I also change my equipment around, and have never been the type to say, skate only blazers for a year straight. So I don’t have a ‘control’ to reference back to. I’m usually looking for a cupsole, but after that🤷🏻♂️. I trust anyone will take these ramblings with a grain of salt.
