Upcoming/recent WACK shoe release thread

[moonordie]

I remember when Nike took over and people left to create The Boardr, this seems to be the final nail on the coffin.

[Dooky-shoes]

i kinda fuck with the chelsea boot style globe shoe that austyn had, the dover.

when i saw clips of him skating them almost made me want to buy them but i'm a t shirt and jeans kind of guy, and you kinda need to look/dress like austyn to pull them off

they look good on him when he skates but almost no one else

I’m with ya. Saw a pair of the all black distressed suede on sale. Wore them around for a minute, really comfortable and felt cool but didn’t look right in jeans.

Just couldn’t do it, a little too fashion forward for me and I can just picture them sitting in my closet next to the other shoes I’ll never wear.
Still might grab them

[Post Alone]

Wasn't sure where to put this one but it's a decent watch

[kneebone]

Hasn't Cariuma been a huge sponsor of Tampa Pro/Am for the past couple years now, along with the Boardr series that was borne out of SPoT?

[JugeL]

Oh boy

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Can we just not even give Cariuma any bandwidth whatsoever?

Cariuma is ok if you're tops 10 yo and have 1 working brain cell.

[Pasta Monster]

The blue ones that come out on August 5 were posted in the upcoming show thread, but I didn’t see these, which come out on August 25.

I don’t understand why these are $130 while Kader’s are $110. Is the material more expensive or does he just get fat royalties? If he used synthetic suede like Emerica or New Balance, non-vegans would probably be interested too.

[TwisT]

I don’t think it’s a material cost. Probably just a production cost. They do millions of leather pro models, so having to cut and sew and bunch of plastic is probably is probably a pain that cost more.

[Mean salto]

Pretty sure they aren't the same shoes as the kaders. I think the sole construction is a little different, closer to the superstar 80s (or that's what I read about his low versions that came out the other year)

Oh boy

I love Peanuts, so this one hurt me bad.

Didn't Vans have a collab w/ Peanuts a couple of years back? Even that soured me on Peanuts (or, rather, the company who prostitutes their estate), but this is far worse. At least with Vans one could argue that it's a huge global brand and both parties would have a financial gain through non-core customers. But with Cariuma? I'm completely in the dark about their numbers, but it doesn't seem that they got a huge piece 9f core-customer pie, while they're basically non existant in the mainstream. Maybe it's different stateside?

[moonordie]

Yup, a friend had the Peanuts slip on and they looked pretty nice but Cariuma doing the same is almost as disgusting as Carísimas bare existence.

[alraunen]

[moonordie]

Those are so fucking terrible that I kinda like them. Is like a guilty pleasure.

Peanuts had licensed Snoopy for MetLife insurance for a long ass time.  Much worse than some dinky skate shoe

Chelsea boots were a tech bro staple a few years ago be glad you didn't get em

[Richard Skidder]

Ummm

[moonordie]

You must be kidding, is already April?

[mrselfdestruct]

Nah you meant the Emerica or 'eS thread

*curb stomps you with muskas* JOKE!!!!!!!

[Xen]

Ishod 2



Top view still looks narrow AF...not a colorway *I* would lead with.

[goodatmeth]

Is that the first ever air max skate shoe?

[Xen]

Either the Janoski 2 or Koston 2 (both Air Max); not sure the Janoski was marketed as an acutal skate shoe tho.

[Mean salto]

Don't know if it would make them air "max" but p rods first shoes had the air bubbles (and his next two had the bubble in the sole but not visible)

Not my cup of tea, but are we really putting these on same line as Peanuts Cariumas and silver Emerica slip ons

[Lou Strux]

Oh boy

I believe you meant to say, “Good grief!”

[marcusbutler]

But they were actually good looking shoes. Rods shoes were awesome! Then the vulc decade took over.
