Nice, might try a pair of these when they release. Didn't care so much for the other c/w's

Full black is never ok.  :'(

Navy and marshmallow could work on paper I suppose but imagine trying to put an outfit together with that.

More black with white sole please Vans, you know it's all we want and we know you need our money.

Thanks for the info @BALARGUE.

Have any of you tried those Skate Rowley 25th Anniversary shoes? How are they?
Never had a pair back in the day and kinda want one now but I hate the idea of supporting Rowley. Hhmmm...

Thanks.

Kinda late and not that useful but homie couldn't give more details on his experience.
"They are great, fit for the toebox feels more like a half cab rather than an Old Skool. Can't say much, I'm not very good at that"

[Urtripping]

 I feel like there was some discussion in this thread recently about half cab skate classics hurting people's feet. The last two pairs I bought this has happened, but then I saw a Vans ad with Dick Rizzo wearing some in Skate Jawn and noticed he doesn't lace them through the metal eyelet. I tried it, and at first it looks a bit strange, but my feet definitely don't hurt like they did on the last few pairs. My laces also feel like they're the proper length and not too short. The shoe feels a bit easier to get on/off too.

Maybe they need to rework the placement of that eyelet?

at the point where I'm just going to switch to the off the wall versions and see if there is a difference. I don't know why they keep fucking around with the fit of shoes.

I'm talking about only one model.
Maybe using the term MC is wrong but in the Vans catalog it's called the Safe Low Skate

[close]

Ok gotcha.  Makes more sense.   It’s the one the palace vans riders had a c/w of

Got stoked we were gonna get some more colorways of the Carrolls Maybe with Lakais demise we'll see a return of the Carrolls sometime, fingers crossed. He posted that ugly quartersnacks pair on his story recently so hoping that means something, probably not though.

[BALARGUE]

I just realized the differences between the Safe Low and the MCs.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hadn’t seen these anywhere before and wondering if anyone has seen them in person.
Seem to be a core shop exclusive, as they’re not on the Vans site.
Hate the tongue and heel loops, but love an Old Skool with metal eyelets. Also, the tongue looks kinda puffy. A little padding is ok, but too puffy is a no-go for me.
Just wondering, as I said above, if anyone has had these in hand/on foot.
I’ve always said that an Old Skool with eyelets would be an auto-cop, but lately I’ve been waiting for the Ipath Reed Lows and now I’m torn since I’m broke and these are so pretty…

The tongue is super puffy, the pics seem to hide it quite well.

When I first saw an image I thought they might be decent but in the flesh they’re a hard pass

Noted, thanks.
Gawdammit Vans, get it together!

[franc]

Those would be so ill without the heel and tongue loops, with a decent tongue, kinda like the tongue on Crocketts for example, and suede side panels. Close but no cigar.

[roba]

style 36 are so much nicer looking than regular old skools. it's a shame they had to fuck these up, but a skate version of a normal 36 would be so sick

Agreed - tongue crazy big and toe area very small

Anyone have feedback on the Rowley XLT?

[Crabby_Bastard]

Anyone have feedback on the Rowley XLT?

Not the most durable sole but they are very comfortable and grippy. True to size for me unlike the Rowan 2 and Ave 2 which required going up half a size.

Honestly hate the old skool but I like the looks of these in person. They come out on the 31st of January, I think some shops accidentally released them early. I’m gonna give them a shot because I’m interested but my hopes are set low, I hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

I had to go a full size up in XLT's compared to Rowan 2 and they still a little tight
Weird, maybe colour ways are different fit , idk

I saw David Bluetile's video about the style 36 and I thought they looked good
Having a fabric inner is a plus for me coz that leather vinyl innershit in old schools
and era's etc are blisters every time ,

You can't stop them at this point. They just keep stepping in it. Every render of that shoe looks like shit, even by 2000's standards.

I like the shoes but I’m not gonna wear them now. I have fond memories of my Vans from back in the day, but I don’t wanna wear the same shoes I wore in 2nd grade.

Gotta meet this Vans Insights team

[manuduncan]

my vans rowan 2 review: pretty uncomfortable right out of the box, very stiff and tight around the toebox if you get true to size

after a couple weeks though they loosen up and get comfy and are 5x more durable than any other vans shoe

More or less same. They was a little tight at first but not in an uncomfortable tight but like fitted or snug. First session or so was rough but I honestly have enjoyed them around 3rd session on. Comfortable for well I went to TTS. I wear them to skate and sometimes as chillers. My girlfriend don’t love the way they look so I know she judges me when I wear them out.

Anyone have a release date for the Curren shoe?
