I'm really down for Reynolds/NB and will be looking forward to what they come up with for his pro shoe. I do be rocking those dad NBs for lounging and mowing the lawn.
As for Vans - I bought the Reynolds colorway half cabs to skate and skated them like 3 times before giving up. They just won't stay on my feet, feel like they're constantly trying to slip off my heel. They felt blown out on day one.
