damn nostalgia ciiiiity. Put a smile on my face. Can’t wait for the local to get their stock

Omg

[Sold Out]

Got to try on samples of everything and the quality on these shoes is super super good. The Grasshopper in black leather looks super premium and is really comfortable. I had low expectations, but seeing them in person I was impressed.

This is exactly what I needed skating to do.

Where’s the hemp?

Hemp shoes with weed stash pockets are what made em heady

No hemp until end of August but pockets are nice and deep

[sadBUTtrue]

Really nailed this re-issue. Can't wait to put to grip tape. 11.5 TTS for me.

[Sila]

I want to see these things skated or at least walked around in daily before making quality judgements. Black grasshoppers looking good though.

[TD]

Seeing all these pics is making me unbelievably excited. Hopefully we get them here in Aus sooner than later. My wallet can't handle that heavy international shipping from the states  :'(

Yea end of august wait til y’all see the second drop, I’m waiting for the 85s

I went into zumiez on wednesday to check these out and they felt great. picked up the grasshoppers in a size nine. i’m super inconsistent with shoe sizing so i usually like to try them on first. (for example i wear 9.5 in LRAB and vans but adidas i usually wear 9.)
The grasshoppers skate great. i had my first skate sesh in about 5 weeks after dealing w an ankle roll. i’m still not 100% but they skated really well. gonna wait until one of the local shops gets the cats to buy them. i don’t want to walk back inside zumiez really

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Just drop those hemp joints mofos, no one wants to skate all leather high-tops in the summer weather

[Abyss1]

Yea...fuck Zumiez, avoid those assholes if you can...
-they shipped my shoes separately from two different wherehouses a week apart (why)
-still charged my for my expedited shipping that took a week
-No fucking sticker in the second pair ordered (obviously someone at zumiez took it)

Other that size 11.5 and 12 fits fine...

[borntoexpire]

Been skating Lynxs' primarily for the last few years, so I've gotten accustomed to DC's sizing. Wish I half-sized down on Grasshoppers. Never had them back in the day, so I can't compare. Might have to double pad with insoles to see if I can get a more snug fit. Skated a few sessions in them and I'm happy regardless. Cats fit perfect. I like them way better than the pairs I had from 2004 or so. Can't wait to get my hands on the Reed (and the Yogi if/when).

Alright I’m not defending Zumiez but…

1. Zumiez keeps all your favorite brands afloat with their giant bulk order numbers.

2. Shoes are sold and shipped from stores that have the stock available. Not warehouses. My order for them also shipped in two separate orders as well and both arrived accordingly.

3. Shipping providers fault not zumiez.

4. Hey it happens, but they come from stores so someone who tried them on possibly could have taken it. But it’s just a sticker.

Yea i get that, not really tripping about the sticker...but just a little annoyed at having to pay for the expedited shipping to
not have the arrive together

Can anyone truly compare what their paths were feeling like in 2002 to what they’re doing in 2024?

Idk about y’all, but my feet and body, and subsequently my skating, are far, far different than they were 20+ years ago.

In summer 2002 i had an 7.75 element that i ollieing tennis nets on…

[wax poetic]

Is Zumiez the only option right now?

haven't skated fully in them since I just got them but they feel like grasshoppers circa 2006-08.  Still remember the pair i got back in 1999...think the insoles where white back then too..i sorta forget

Go to zumiez and steal the cork insoles from janoskis.

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Does anyone with the inside scoop know if the Cats will release in a beige colour, or know what other colours are coming out?

I did this with my new Grasshoppers! The Ortholite insole felt fine but had recently finished off some Janos and kept the insoles and read this. This combo just leveled up an already great pair of kicks. Thanks for the inspo!

I’m not sure why people are worried about buying from Zoomeez.

This project is not a core skater brand anymore, is it? I thought it’s funded by some big investment firm, and more of a crass attempt to cash in on 90s skate fashion and milk the wallets of older guys by hammering the nostalgia button.


Kinda the footwear equivalent of Powell reissue decks, if Powell died and was resurrected by some marketers with no ties to skating.


Buy them if you want, they are nice-looking shoes. But they are only copies and echos of a time and brand that tried to make something dope. That fundamental part of the brand is gone.

So would Beautiful planet footwear be considered core? It's matt rod and some Japanese investors, has OG backing but 1% compared to current ipath tho he's made comments Kenny Reed is part of the project also?
