It looks like it's been dipped in grease and dog shit.

a friend just sent me this because i told him i wanted a pair of all black shoes and was considering getting the blacked out converse as-1s

but i think i'd rather have these black leather rowan 2s, the black out makes it so you don't notice how much of the shoe the sole takes up

These look absolutely horrible

they look better in this photo

To me the Rowan 2s look way better on foot than in product shots. Those are almost always terrible, but I actually like how the shoes look in footage quite a lot. And they skate great imo.

Murge · « **Reply #1716 on:** March 07, 2025, 04:27:56 AM »

Piggybacking off what scab said. Rowan 2s skate great and are pretty damn comfy. I was hesitant because of how chunky the sole looks. But on foot it doesn’t look as giant and they are not as bulky looking on foot like they are in photos

anyone try those Old Skool 36s yet? Old Skool Pros used to be my favorite shoe, but the collar of the new Skate versions would just kill my ankles. I saw these at my local, and they more or less just look like Old Skools with a padded collar and tongue, which honestly sounds pretty up my alley.

It's nice you shoot shoes for a living or like to hang them in a fucking bookcase, but please fill and give them their shape

chunky is out. such a played out trend that died during the pandemic

Not here in Euroland. As someone said earlier in the thread - bunch of casuals and normies are wearing Knu Skools. It was no. 1 chunky casual shoe before Campus 00s took over a year or two ago.

I guess they can chase the trends when they have stalwarts to fall back on. Once the cyclical nature of fashion does what it does and we're back to slim and minimal shoes once again, some brands will have to "invent" something trendy, while authentics, eras, old skools, chucks, one stars etc. will already be there.

Theyre really good, just super glue the stitching and you’ll probably really like them. The tounge is a bit wonky at first but breaks in pretty nice.

I honestly dont understand why the skate version of the old skool doesnt have suede in the ollie area like these ones do, it blows my mind.

DeanMaple · « **Reply #1724 on:** March 10, 2025, 08:03:20 PM »

Never understand that too. The area is there, already determined.

They were right about redesign the tongue. The old school really needed that. But cmon, its not that at all ñ.

The vitoria mendoncas superstar has the perfect tongue thickness

WashingtonNECKTIE · « **Reply #1725 on:** March 12, 2025, 09:25:37 AM »

I thought I was a Rowan 2 stan because the performance checked all my boxes, but I keep realizing I just do not dig most of the other colorways.

BALARGUE · « **Reply #1726 on:** March 12, 2025, 01:35:31 PM »

yeah
I was really interested in trying them. I had multiple Rowan 1s and was really happy with them. I wanted to to try a cupsole for a change after all these halfcabs & Rowans
But most if not all colorways were wrong in my eyes (especially the outsole colorblocking / how the layers blend).
Finally pulled the trigger on them and will skate soon.
Outsole seems kinda thick but looks better to me.

It's odd because the feel and durability of the outsole is phenomenal (to me), but damn it looks thick as fuck. The foot bed is definitely lower than the outsole, so it doesn't feel as chunky as it looks. It still makes the colorways come out weird.

The vulc Rowan's looked so much tidier, but idk if my feet and hips will allow me to go back to them....

manuduncan · « **Reply #1728 on:** March 12, 2025, 05:11:44 PM »

we're in the same boat the durability and comfort on the rowan 2s are A+

but that thick ass white sole taking up a third of the available real estate just kills me

currently eyeing a pair of the rowan 2/spitfire collabs wondering if i should pull the trigger

Best colorway they've come out with imo. Do It!

I put those spitfire lace locks on my windbreaker drawstrings

Just got the all black white stiches Rowan 1
The look sick

Troubadour26 · « **Reply #1731 on:** March 16, 2025, 06:52:08 PM »

wasn’t crazy about my Rowan 2s when I bought them last year, lent them to a friend who wore and skated in them for a few months, (I think he wore them a lot to the gym).

Anyways, I’m enjoying them now. My half cabs were dying and he got a pair of the Niels Pro Shells so he threw them back my way.

I went tts and they’re tight on my toes but my body is feeling much better in them and they function as well as I’d hope for my vulcs too otherwise.

Saw the Vans Curren Caples shoe in person yesterday. What the fuck is the point. Just wear an Era or Slip On.

They don’t skate like an era or a slip on, so there’s that 🤷‍♂️

Would the Rowan 2s fit a wide-ish foot - across the metatarsals? They're going for $50 here in Aus.

concerned_parent · « **Reply #1736 on:** March 25, 2025, 05:15:39 AM »

i feel like they've slowed down on crockett high colorways. i really hope the shoe sticks around because i do love it.

My local stopped carrying them all together because its not sought after I guess. I am distraught buying these things off tampa skatepark website wondering when will be the last time I can get my hands on them.

no, if you have a wide foot stay away. Sk8 hi 9.5 fits me perfect for my wide foot. I tried on a 10.5 in the Rowan 2 and the toes still felt tight

I dunno. I have a wide foot and can't do Old Skools or Sk8 his, but I love the Rowan 2s. Very comfy for me.
