it's like a rejected DC shoe design that Vans got a hold of. something from THPS 1
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.
