has vans made any original, goodlooking skateshoes in the last of couple of years? Sincere questions, haven't been following them tbh.
Kinda dig this beatrice colorway, don't care about skate skills. Crob has been equivalent level for 25 years.
Idk how original they are (kind of a mash of a half cab, old skool, and parts of some Emerica Reynolds) but I've been fucking with the Rowans. Supportive and durable upper, decently wide toe box and midsole, good padding on the ankles and tongue, I dig the toe shape personally.
Of course they do have the classic Vans sole that gets soggy fairly quick, but the rest of the shoe kicks ass, imo
