This colorway is great, way better than the other Zahba mids that were posted, but that 'Beatrice' on the heels is a dealbreaker. Live laugh love ass typeface.

Looks more like “we have Evan Hecox/chocolate fonts at home”

Not to hate on her but I'm amazed of how much love she gets from Vans. Remember a Pal saying that the amount of colorway she has are bigger than her trick bag lol.

I saw them teased again on Twitter and it made me look it up but yeah it's probably a slightly modified (so they don't gotta pay to use it) version of Manhattan Darling aka LLL typeface. I almost think it's meant to be ironic.

EDIT: Kinda reminds me of this sketch

If they were going for ironic they should've gone full etsy wedding invite with it instead of olive green. Really if it's a Beatrice colorway I'm going to hate on it regardless. Give Fabiana Delfino a colorway or something, damn.

looks like there's a loafer too. spotted on 561.

I wish it was a nicer colorway at least.

But that Caroll looks beautiful.

Also looks like they changed the heel collar material out to fabric on those MCs. May have to give them another try.

Did the Boys of Summer version have a faux leather material in there or was it fabric?

If skateboarding was a normal sport this would be like an F1 driver being awarded a signature product when they were able to drive the car around the track at 100mph without crashing, but could never get up to race speed.

So essentially Danica Patrick?

Haha, there’s some truth in the colourway statement for sure. I’ve never understood the hype from day 1. I mean, Elissa Steamer had an Etnies colourway out in 2001 and even then she probably deserved more with the THPS hype etc.

[manuduncan]

Has anyone skated/worn the vans lowland models? I’m digging the look, I like that it’s a different vans stripe/wave logo and that it’s leather

92367459382746523 other pros, females included, deserve a colorway over her. The FA industry dick sucking is out of hand.

Should have call the colorway F/S popshuv.

The heel material looks similar (I threw out my pair after skating the heck out of them).
I like them. Definitely bulky but felt similar to a half cab. I got a lot of compliments but the price tag feels weird for a Vulc.

People have been having slip and also having blisters.

Got a pair of the Mike February Neo Ultrarange as summer wear shoes. They’re really comfy. Like really comfy. It’s hard to justify its MSRP, but thankfully my nephew works at Vans [mall] and I was able to use his discount.

I think they have the Comfy Cush sole which is 90% foam or something so you could skate them but they'll shred pretty quick if you are hard on your shoes.

Pedro Barros I think has some clips on his IG wearing them while skating, so they're skateable! That's all I got though

When you have a shoe sponsor, you can skate any shoe without worry of how quickly it’ll shred.

Definitely! It must be nice to "test" models like that and not worry about cost or whether you have another model to skate immediately after it! (Slap sale gear regulars excluded because they can do the same thing but aren't the norm)

Side note: Vans could/should do more experiments with making skateable versions of their comfy Cush/hiking/chiller models again, because there are some silhouettes and soles with lots of potential I think to be the next Half Cab or dunk-a-like.

I legit like the BMX wafflecup slip-ons. Would love to have that sole on the Half Cab
