Tyshawn and LL have shared elements. The uppers of these vans is completely different. Even detailing like the perforated toe on the low they didn’t carry over. Literally nothing shared.
Overall toecap silhouette I could see, but even that is a different size, overlapping panels versus one.. vans swoosh hits in a diff spot.
Respectfully, I disagree, since the LL and LL Mid is a similar scenario to the Zahba and Zahba mid. When I first saw the leaked photos of the Zahba Mid it looked like a Zahba Mid with a toe cap to me and not like an entirely different shoe. I understand not everyone may see it that way, but the similarities are greater than differences
There are numerous similarities from my view: the sole (new and specific to Zahba only currently), lacing panel, shape of the panel adjacent to the stripe towards the "ollie" area (they both make that curvy wave, the stripe itself, the tongue looks identical, the heel quarter panel looks similar but slightly larger since it's for mid height. They didn't carry over toe perforations since they added a toe panel instead. That's the only real visible difference to the average person, imo
