[Chimppimpin]

why is nobody talking about SKATE ESTAZZO

These are very interesting in person, same sole as the Cab 4 but the upper is quite a bit puffier.

On to the next palace bullshit.

Their mkt department sucks

How do you jump to such a ridiculous conclusion? The official launch for the Curren shoe is May 15th. The Palace collab launches May 9th.  May 9th comes before May 15th.

They have been promoting the Curren VCU on their social media as well as some of the Vans team rider's socials. There will be a full promotion of the standard line of Curren shoes next week to coincide with the actual release.

Nice.

I guess it is subjective, but Vans seems to consistently put out the absolute worst colorways for their skate shoes and it gets kind of annoying, because I do like skating them. Just seems like a lot of their shoes in a given drop (from the skate line) have some loud or unconventional, zumiez esque colorway, or it’s just plain ugly- maybe as some attempt to stand out from the other brands?

they have no cohesion across all of their lines, like the designs are all over the place and they don't know what kind of a company they even are.

Yeah I had a flick through the site a couple days ago and have no idea what they're going for. So much money is getting blown on ugly random styles and colours. Saw some terrace style shoes when walking past a Vans shop the other day. Who's asking for those with an ugly stripe?

it's hard to convince people to buy mediocre quality shoes that fall apart quicker than most other brands. or you ask them to pony up another $20-30 to get the premium model, something closer to what they should be in the first place. keep in mind this is the same company that continues to sponsor surfers, despite being a sport where Vans main product is not even worn.

Are the marketing people at Vans collaboratively operating off of a single brain-cell? lol

[dumptruck12]

Yeah that new Curren commercial sucked. Why not just post a skate clip, running in the desert with a suit was whaaaack

[TastyBurrito]

That was a weird wannabe take on some kind of luxury designer commercial.

[able]

I thought it was hilarious

[manuduncan]

i dunno i thought it was pretty tongue in cheek satire of those perfume commercials playing off curren's model-like handsomeness

but i agree some skate clips woulda been nice

dkny commercial

[Mbrimson88]

Ha yeah wow, definitely made me laugh, but I see what others are saying - classic piss take on the fancy perfume commercial gigs there.

Maybe it is just my warped sense of humour as well.

also he did say on his recent bunt interview that an accompanying part will be coming out for the shoe so it's not like this is the only piece of media we're getting

obviously not gonna be a 2 song banger like his part from last year but it'll be good to see the shoe on foot in footage

Skate Deluxe have (accidentally?) uploaded pictures of a black with white sole version of Curren's new shoe.

The more I see it, the more I’m liking it. I know it’s laughably derivative of the Era, but the Era is a wonderful design. I also kinda like how they slyly incorporated the Vans stripe.

[Atiba Applebum]

Asked head designer on Twitter: sounds like there will be more metal eyelets, but it’s not gonna be common.   

[Crabby_Bastard]

I tried the red Curren shoes on yesterday. The fit was slightly bigger than other Vans Skate vulcs, similar in fit to the Skate Authentic. The shoe feels like a mix of an Era and a Rowley.

Do you go half a size down in the authentics, or is tts good but just a little roomy?

idk if this helps you but i'm like a size 9.75 and i buy a 9.5 in sk8 hi's with my wide feet and the fit is perfect. i tried on the curren in 9.5 (red suede ones) and they were way to narrow and short on length for me.

I go half size down.

[dumptruck12]

You think they run half size big? I think they fit perfectly true to size. A perfect fit if you ask me. They are comfy

I tried the authentics in both 9.5 (my size) and 9, and ended up sticking to 9.5. A half size down sort of made the foot feel a bit more secure and hugged, which feels nice because the shoe is pretty loosely structured, but there’s just no real runout room for your toes. Better to go tts and just tie them good.
