Am I the only person on here thinking that those new Wafflecup Half Cabs look absolutely horrible?

[close]

+1, saw them in person and it only confirmed my feelings

The atiba versions are nice enough.  Not into the mesh and plastic lining of the panels on the other two

[franc]

To me it's the heel counter and the midsole that make them truly horrible. I can't unsee it, it just looks wrong.

I went for a two mile walk in the wafflecup half cabs yesterday and they were surprisingly comfortable.

I skated them today and they felt broken in within 30 minutes. The sole is very grippy. They fit more snug than the sk8 half cabs, which I like because my foot doesn’t move around in the shoe. The heel is comfortable and supportive. I didn’t get to test the impact protection, but I suspect it’s pretty good. Board feel is just slightly less than the sk8 half cabs.

Overall, I think they do a good job of adding comfort without any major sacrifices compared to the sk8 half cabs. I really liked the Zahba for its impact protection, and these feel similar but less chunky in the sole

Would love to hear your (and anyone elses) thoughts after a few sessions/month or 2. They don’t look too crazy in person. I figure they should last longer than the reg versions and maybe keep shape a little better over time.

Anyone have anymore info on those currens that are all black with the orange hints? Does the black fade away to orange?

Just know that they were bunt collabs.  Never seen them posted anywhere outside the weekend event they did

I skated for 4 hours today. Impact protection is really good. I have the black/asphalt ones that have a few areas or what looks like ripstop fabric. This makes them breathe better than the all suede ones, my feet didn’t get sweaty at all. I used to always wear the blackout sk8 half cabs and my feet would sweat so bad

The gave us cup halfcabs. Us hated

[DeanMaple]

The Safe Lows are one of the sickest shoes vans ever released. And ir doesnt get much love. Its a perfect design for a vulc shoe.

A few little pannel tweaks and the shoe would be perfect. Especially without the halfcab tag on the side.

I got the Atiba colorway and they really feel like a more comfortable half cab. The look of the sole isn’t my favorite but not noticeable when you’re looking down at them. They skate the same in my opinion but just some more cushioning on the sole and tongue. Thought I would hate them but upon first skate I really like them and will probably get the black and white pair as well

I don't know what people expected wafflecup Half-Cabs to look like. They look exactly like I would expect.

I personally was hoping for more of a sole like the crockett

[jums]

AVE 2.0s are so fucking underrated. I NEVER see anyone wearing them. Best pro model Vans has out atm. I balked at the $120 retail but had to give in. It's tech and classic vans done right. The sole compound is crazy grippy.

[thefriscokid]

Man idk if anyone remembers this shoe but I think it was an AVE model. I had it in all red with white sole, it was one piece of suede for the toe cap. Pretty thin but durable enough & really light and form fitting, probably around 2010/2011. Loved it, would be stoked to find an old picture. Somewhere around the time of TNT 5 era

[Curbyourenthusiasm]

Does anyone have a grasp on why there are like 6 fucking Kyle walker colors and one crockett ( that I believe is getting discontinued)? Where is the reasoning?! Fucking blackrock in the driver's seat over at vf

Was it these?

Or the AV3?



Loved the AV3.

Or the AV6?

I still kinda want a pair of the AVE 2.0s.

I guess that makes sense. That's not the sides of the sole that I think of when it comes to wafflecup so I guess that's why I wasn't surprised. I think of the sole that's on the Half-Cabs now but maybe that's just me.

I think I found a picture of Zions pro model but can’t post it on here. Anyone know how to shrink the file down so I can post it?

Damn he def does not deserve one

[144p]

I got a pair of the halfcab waffle cup, and looking down at the toe from the top they just look like the wayvee.
They do skate good, on foot they look less crazy but it's still not a halfcab.

Pedro deserves one.   Consistently rips.   Zion just pops up at a vans event every once in a while and is certainly good, but so what?

Pedro definitely deserves a shoe a colorway something.

[tangar]

I like Pedro as much as the next guy. But to say Zion doesn’t deserve one is a shit take.

Just google Resize Image. 1st result is pretty good.
Image resizer i guess...

He’s talented enough for sure, but I only have seen him show up in tour vids since Vans picked him up.   He may have had some parts removed, but the most recent one I see on YouTube is from 6 years ago
