Never thought I’d see Slap excited about anything Curren related, much less stoked he’s getting a pro model. But I guess good for him.

He’s kinda wiggled his way into our collective hearts.

Sorta like how we all kinda seem to back && now.

curren yes, andy no.

Pretty stoked about a Curren pro model even tho I'll never buy it. Btw what was the last pro model that wasn't ave? Maybe Lizzie's?

Rowan 2 (and if you ask Beatrice - her colorways were pro models)

Tell us how they look

it looks a lot like the Nike Sb Malor with a one piece toe box / ollie pad

Looked those up and after visualizing, sounds like he got an Emerica Dickson pro model instead.

This one isn’t bad, still ain’t skating these but at least a semi tolerable colorway

Yeah they remind me of the 2000s era shoes (or clothing or other things) with the colour highlights, especially the yellow / blue, or the red / black, or I guess the mid blue / grey / black as per that shoe that I seem to recall seeing a lot of in various things back then.

Maybe with everything else going on, someone somewhere thinks this is a good time to bring it all back?

I definitely remember seeing it with the more tech type shoes, eg DC and eS with Koston and others doing the two tshirts that matched the shoes.

From a design perspective it's very strange because they invested time and energy into tech (from the pop-cush in virtually every vulc skate shoe to the vr3-cush in the rowan 2) and this shoe has none of that. the shoe looks like crap in person, they couldn't figure out how to put an insole in without the foam showing, the rubber molding is sloppy, they made the interior contrasting colors which only exposes the shoddy worksmanship. Just a weird thing, but it's kinda reflective that people aren't doing their jobs effectively.

Any Vans employees/ stockists got the downlow on when we will see a re-issue of the Skate Sk8 lows?

[BeachChicken]

A Half Cab low is about 4 years past when Vans were buzzing post Reynolds signing and Ryan Lay was skating Crockett Hi's. Honestly if they just put a midsole in some shoes and ditched Pop Cush they'd be on a better path.

Ah man I Shoe Goo'd my last pair last night to see if I can get another 2 or 3 skates out of them.

I emailed the people behind the Vans online store here in Switzerland about that last year and they told me that they have no idea what stock they're gonna get beforehand, they just get what's sent to them.

Probably my favourite shoe these last years. Hasn't been available here in 2 or 3 years I think. Got my current pair while on holiday in Canada last summer. Got a pair of Skate SK8 Mids with 40% off this week though, delivered this morning.

What about MC96 colorway?

[BALARGUE]

This is a weird one.
I see nothing in both catalogs but l’m wondering if this shoe ever landed in France. It's been discussed multiple times here for a couple years and i've never seen the model on the B2B tool we use to order / preorder.
I want a pair

Never seen these in Switzerland either, sadly.

[Cranberry Relish]

I had a pair of the Authetic Mid's.  They felt good for a bit, but bagged out pretty quickly,

Any info on the skate era? Never really wanted a pair until now, I was happy skating authentics. Would like a pair for the little bit of extra padding, but they're nowhere to be found.

[prof_oak]

They should ve made an Era Mid.
And a rowan 2 (proper) mid

Mids are sick

What's wrong with them? I had 3 or 4 pairs and loved them. They lasted surprisingly long, longer than Crocketts for example.

Was he asking for your suggestion?

I have had 6 pairs of them and they have been great. One of the best shoes Vans has made in a long while.

[prof_oak]

I will never understand why they havent make a skate version of this model yet?

They haven’t done a line for teenage superheroes?

[Democratic Republic Of Mongo]

They need to do a collab with Neil Young and release a shoe called Vans Down By The River.
