IPATH Containment Thread

How they make some little tweaks/ upgrades tho…

Hopefully they are tru to size, I wear 11 in dunks and 10 in grasshoppers/cats/panthers/crickets. The more modern ipath like locusts were true to size, and they had that honeycomb and coconut insole

I'm stoked on this reboot.

Curious how the younger generation feels.

They don't even know what iPath is/was. Besides them initially tagging Zumiez and Complex on the Instagram, iPath doesn't seem to be catering to the youth much by marketing through Kenny Reed and Matt Field. Maybe that'll change at a later point but I think it would be cool if it's predominately og heads rocking the reissues and we can kinda give a nod to each other on the sesh like we know what's up. Though I can't imagine that's a viable business strategy so maybe there will be exclusive colorway drops through Complex and emo music iPath edits in the future idk.

Lol

Yea, I feel like they gotta try and get the youngins on board somehow.

Who are the most ipath flavored new/young skaters they could put on?

[Cranberry Relish]

Chris Athans could be sick

yeah, I actually liked the direction they were starting to go when they had all those little tweaks and things like vibram soles.
Upgrade to the midsole would be best scenario for me but I’m guessing most will be happy with a 1:1 reissue?

[rawbertson.]

I've seen Ipath instagram post a bunch of other models like the Matt Field in a ton of different colour ways (I believe these were all existing colour ways)
Kenny said in the interview that they are launching with just the 2 models so I am kind of confused now, maybe they are bringing more out soon (i think that is a bit risky to bring out too many models out the gate but what do i know?)

[CarcassToss]

When Asics debuted recently they only had a few colors and lots of the colors the skaters had weren't available for another 6-12mo

Saw all the ipath samples today, looking good. Everyone  will be stoked.

The branding on the left midsole kills it for me. It’s unlikely that anyone will see it, but I’m not walking around with, “BEAUTIFUL,” on the left shoe. I’ll wait for 35th Ave to get the Grasshopper and Cats.

The samples look better than the originals.
The ipath fans will be happy, not sure on the fits or the sole compound but volume and quality of materials wise they look so good. I wanted them all!

Yes, hemp grasshoppers and crickets.

[Abyss1]

The Cats can't come out fast enough. The other models look legit so far.

My god I still remember when that song came out...I tried super hard to see him perform when he was touring that album and dude probably is just as good if not better a performer than his dad...its amazing how underrated he is

Wow that's cool. I'm not vegan, but hemp shoes are so tied to I-Path in my mind, it's cool they are still doing it. It sounds like they're really off to a great start.

Are they starting to hit shops or when will
They be available? Grasshoppers were a shoe I wanted to try out way back when but never got around to it.

to be honest in the beginning it was a really dope and niche shoe, and once it got super popular the quality of them dropped off noticeably I think at the end of my skating that shoe was when the vegan mccrank shoe came out...that shoe was really good... If the quality is there with the new versions, I might stock up for good, but if they rereleased the mccranks Id get those too

[kneebone]

My brother, you’re posting about reissuing a McCrank eS shoe in the iPath thread.

What color are the Hemp Grasshoppers and what material are they using in the high wear areas?

[Allen.]

Taking a wild guess and saying…
Khaki, and hemp

[CarcassToss]

The Cats look so much nicer than the LRAB that just came out. Those had way too high of a sole and too low of a collar and looked outta proportion, but I'll be rocking these just like 2001.

the crickets were going to be the OG colorway with natural hemp and black synth toe cap no? At least that what I’m praying for

yep yep

[Texas_Tone]

I’ve been sworn to secrecy but I’ve seen what’s coming down the pipeline and we are all gonna be hyped

[Mystical Leader]

Super stoked for the return of my favorite shoe brands. Also cool hear they have some OG working with brand and that the quality seems to acceptable.

Does anyone have info when they are released in EU?
