IPATH Containment Thread

[Too Frank To Fred]

I just saw a hippy dressed all in red pushing hard uphill along a busy street. He was wearing Cat's with the keychain tag still attached and I thought to myself, yes the iPath reboot has been successful and perhaps there is hope for the world after all.

Damn good run kickfliping these puppies everyday, gonna hit it with the shoe goo tonight. The suede is super thick seeing it all unravel

Hell yea, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Would gnar

[gig.]

Came in yesterday direct from Ipath in the biggest box humanly imaginable. Only critiques are I think I’d like the toebox to be perforated, oval laces should be included and I wish the insole was a little more dense, cause I’m gonna have to switch it out for something else. Very stoked overall, chefs kiss. Nice to have something like this back. Excited to see more colorways.

Still waiting on a Euro distro. Not ready to pay £100+ for some Cats from the US of A. I got cats I have to feed.

Can you take a picture if the outsole? I remember Ipath sole used to go bald  rather fast. I'm really looking forward to getting the Travellers if they redo it.

If I could gnar, this would be an immediate gnar. That pic definitely got the batteries recharged.

[Rick Trapasso]

Do the cats and grasshoppers have the same sole?

I'm curious to know what the younger generation thinks of these shoes.

[Allen.]

I remember hearing that the travellers lasted forever! Hope to try those and Yogis one day.

[IusedToSkateMore]

Compared to any other contemporary cupsole, what are thy feeling like?

Only modern cups ive skated are 440, 1010, and fast breaks

[gig.]

Super different than all three you listed. Very soft and flexible sole. Also low profile, so think a Jordan one or dunk but already broken in and a little more cushion in the midsole.

I looked at the black Grasshoppers over the weekend and was not impressed.  I remember them being such quality but maybe thats nostalgia.

That Ben clip should be in the Crazy IG clips thread.

[close]

What era do you remember them being that quality, I remember buying them in 2006 and noticed the quality drop off significantly around 2009 I stopped buying Ipaths because every shoe I got would either give me heel bruises or the toe cap and threading would rip through after a couple weeks

I like the new ones, they did some things like slimming down the bulkiness slightly which I am okay with.  Also am nostalgic for the pairs I got in 99-00 but don't really care if the architecture is identical as skate shoe tech has greatly expanded as well as manufacturing

IPATH was acquired by Timbertland in 2007 which lines up with your quality experiences. Coincidence? Probably not.

[BeAWitness]

Very stoked on all the shoes in the line. Cowtown got them in and the crickets skate so good! I got a pair of cats too but they’re just my chillers for now. I’ve gotten hella compliments on them from skaters, used-to-skate types and random nerds. Seems like the new path is bright

They do, and so do the Crickets and 1985.

So, like, if half cabs were cupsoles with a little mid arch support?

I could see it... Some of my best sessions were either in half cabs or cats.

[Jogging José]

Ipath has landed in Europe. Blue Tomato has stock…

[rikki]

Surprisingly stoked on Ipath making a comeback.

Realizing I do need the Cats once again. It's been like, what, over 25 years.

Are they TTS? I'm a US 10 in e.g. NB# shoes.
 

[bumpnrun]

I have a pair of blue leather size 10 NOS 1985s in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

Ya basically, I would say little to no arch support. Which works perfect for me. Been skating for a week and I can skate them with the stock insoles and I’m not hurting. There must be solid enough cushion in the midsole. There’s enough room to switch out the insole if needed. I’m very much enjoying skating them. Definitely getting another pair. They are like a better version of a dunk for me. Dunks are so stiff and painful.

[Reese Bruno]

Try it

[roba]

i gave in too, brown cats are on the way... i don't remember the last time i paid 100 euros for some shoes but here we are.

[Sila]

Damn there's some navy denim (old) cats on eBay near me. Basically in perfect condition. Tempted to make the plunge.

[thisisnotepic]

Anyone else having problems getting hands on these?

First Zumiez cancelled my order and now my order from the ipath site is stuck in “label created” status. Is it because I’m not vegan?

Edit: Ordered from the site on 9/22.

might be because of the shipping strikes

[Mongo Lloyd]

  These aren’t even my favorite though. I’d say the suede crickets look the classiest in person.

[Shifty Flip]

They say too be cautious of anyone wearing the all black Grasshoppers.

I never understood why Nike never made a skate version of the all black Air Force 1. It seems like it would sell really well, and look good in footage.

The all black Grasshopper is cooler anyway, and as someone who now wears those shoes at least twice a week, I definitely feel ready for all the smoke as soon as I put them shits on. I strap that Velcro and I'm READY to throw my life away. Can't tell me SHIT when I'm wearing my all black Grasshoppers.

Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.
