new Vans models

Is there a new AVE in the works? I’m probably the only hardcore AVE devotee here so I’m curious what a new one would entail.

From the Upcoming Shoes thread:

I like these, if they come in a different colorway I would try them.

Images of these Carrolls surfaced about a year ago. Anyone know if they're still going to be released? I heard possibly November from a nice Pal, but haven't seen or heard anything else.

I def saw them in person in a Vans rep haul at my local many months ago.    The Rowan 2s and White XLTs were in that haul, so November/Dec seems reasonable as those models appear to be coming soon

Sorry, I did not see that this thread existed.

I just ordered mine, they're available in certain skateshops and I can't believe that these are marketed so poorly.

Classic colorway.

(Gorecki said that these would be "friends and Family" only, but seems like it's a general release either way)

Can't wait to receive them! (probably going to double up on them)

I liked the ave and the rapid weld version, these will be with a look.

Was walking around in nb 600s and just don’t like how they fit/feel/skate…randomly walked into a vans and tried on the gamut; last vans I skated were the wavee (sucked) and the rowan1(loved it).

Gotta say, the new Rowan has the weirdest fkn toe box shape I’ve ever seen…it’s like the shoe is just bent.

Anyway I poopooed the og low release but saw this color way in the mid and walked out wearing them…the fit much better that the lows did?

Anyone aware of any other colorways coming out for these Skate Authentic Mids? Brown suede seems to be the initial color

They’ve done an all white and all black pair recently

@Atiba Applebum just in case. This is a "new" shoe, Authentic Mid.
You might be talking about the Authentic Hi

The colorways I know for sure are Black/Black, Forest Green, and Van Doren Navy. Van Doren Navy being that classic lighter blue color that they call Navy for some reason.

 Those are for May-December. Could be other colors too, between now and May.

Even outside of my own strong desire to have canvas chukka boots readily available (outside of collabs and more boutique offerings), I just don’t understand with all of the 90s revival aesthetics that have been swirling around for the last several years, how it hasn’t come to fruition.  Maybe between nostalgia moving into the early 00’s and vans’ recent cuts, I feel like maybe the window is closing. Tragic. Those authentic mids just don’t do it for me. Probably because they’re so ugly.

[Crabby_Bastard]

I had a few pairs of Chukka boots in 1990-1991. I like the shoe but the side seem was a blow out spot. I like these Authentic mids a lot. Eras/Authentics hold up a little better than the chukka boots did.

I would buy 2 pairs of these right now if I could confirm that the Authentic mids have a full lining in the inside heel area and not the exposed heel cup stitching that the Authentic low, Era, and Old Skools have.

[WideFeet]

Just got some Black/White Old Skool’s.

I need better arch support than what the PopCush provides.

Does anyone with similar needs have suggestions on some insoles to buy?

[jdholmes]

Anyone know if any new Carroll/ MC96 colorways are dropping this year?

Vans should ditch chukka and make those in mid and hi's

I can confirm there is no exposed stitching like those other models and it's a much smoother ride. It's still that somewhat rugged canvas they use back there but as long as you aren't going barefoot you should be good. I agree the pronounced stitching on the heel cup with the new "Skate" line is a nightmare.

@WideFeet

The problem with just about everything listed in the above thread is that none of them are as thicc as the popcush insole; I've never found one with decent arch support that can replace and feel as well as fit how the popcush feels in whichever vans they come in. The closest I got was with some generic ass flat NB# insole form a vulc pair and then stacked the superfeet flex on top of it (and it was still too low).

Same issue with the old Suciu ADVs (I bet those insole were thicc enough to swap for popcush).

[Cranberry Relish]

I bought a pair of the Authentic Mids in brown shown above and they have given me the worst blisters on my heels. They’ve also managed to pinch my pinky toe on my right foot. I do like how they look, but the fit of these arent really working well with my feet.

Actually the Adidas adiprene insole that came in sucius and superstar adv works great as a popcush replacement. I swap them on some Kyle walker and half cab pros, I couldn't skate them otherwise. Adiprene is a little taller than popcush but not that much, and they have some arch support.

But if you really want arch support just don't buy Vans.

 No skate shoes have adequate arch support. Not buying Vans wouldn’t help me, unfortunately.

Also, I have really wide feet (see user name) so thinner insole actually helps.

I appreciate all the input Pals!

[DarkPools]

It's a shame Adidas never put cloth over that rubber adiprene insole. Admittedly, the tech and function were top shelf, but they ruined it by having it be rubber and no sockliner material.  A nightmare just feelingthet rubber slide your socks around.

Fucking absolute idiots at Adidas to greenlight that insole without cloth on it. I've held that frustration for years.  I wanted to skate both Suciu models because they were some of the best looking Adidas models EVER. I tried ultracush, State, STI (etnies), double insoling and it never quite got it right, sadly. Forgive me for rambling, this is a Vans thread and I'm digressing

I can't skate Vans vulcs anymore, but I gotta say, their ultra/pop cush work well in other cupsoles that have removable insoles. Seems like that's where the insole works best compared to their own vulcs. Example, Zahba could have benefited from a drop-in pop cush insole.  Even if it was slightly thinner than their vulc version.


@WideFeet my 2 cents would be to try State insoles (dense and thick but not Popcush thick) or Etnies STI insoles and add a thinner (think stock NB 440 insole) insole on top to give support and get fit dialed.  I've done that to make shoes more supportive, yet comfortable enough to wear/skate

Thanks for the input. I really doubt any of those options will have the arch support I need. I think my arches are really arched. Plus my pronation, it doesn’t make for a good combination

[BarcelonaCEO]

Is the sk8-hi or sk8-lo advisable? It's the only model I havn't tried, wayvee wasn't that nice for me. I might just get some slip ons and call it a day...
