Has anyone picked these up yet?
The grey pair isn't bad.
I impulsed picked up a pair of the grey today (I had to exchange something and was left with store credit so why not), as they felt nice enough
Thankfully no clear sole like the Dime colorways (the Navy is sweet tho)
First blush:
Medium arch, can feel it but it's not massive.
The Mesh in the upper is stupid flexible, no toe pinch in the 'crease' area
Wide but also pointy in the toe/tip - the shape is more like a Crockett/TNT/Walker than a Rowan/Half Cab
Popcush is comfy as always
I'm a fan overall of the wafflecup construction since its inception
The lacing system, while touted as something special, isn't but it isn't bad by any means
For sure lighter than the Rowans. Where the Rowans feel like Halfcabs, or a classic Vans these feel like a more tech version of say the Walker. They give off Rowley vibes.
Going to break them in walking for a bit then skate them, but out of the box they feel super skateable (that flexible mesh + flexy wafflecup in the front being the wins here).
