IPATH Containment Thread

[Rick Trapasso]

are the ipath cats back for good or is this a limited time thing?

Probably limited to the time that the company can become and remain profitable.

[sadnocomply]

[munchbox]

i would fuck with these if

a: i didnt have dreads
b: smoked more weed

[IusedToSkateMore]

Tried on a pair of grasshopper at the skateshop today and they felt pretty good. Definitely a well made shoe.

Regarding TTS, im a comfortable 11 with bulky ass feet in nb 1010 and half cabs. 10.5 felt nice in the ipaths

Cognacs finally arrived and got a good ~2 hr session in them last night.

Coming from Emerica vulcs (I hate my feet) these were like putting on a pair of moon boots. Thought nostalgia got the best of me. Bingyflip wrong. Super comfy and if I just ignore my ankles, they don't seem too bulky. Really impressed with the quality as well. I did throw out the pussy insoles and threw in some G6 tho, def an improvement.

Still getting used to not being able to feel the ground or my board but shoes weren't overly stiff, and apart from fakie tricks for some reason, everything was flowing well after half an hr or so.

Wear after first sesh:


Will be getting another pair for sure. Tonight I'll probably go over the stitching with super glue just to help it last. Also want to just let these wear naturally and see how they hold up.

These are so sick. I want a pair but am waiting for one of my local shops to get them. I wonder if you can get replacement laces in that color? If not I wonder what color would look good with those

Subjective, but an off white or cream color might look good.

Dark Green would look earthy

Can’t go wrong with a dark blue either.

Dark brown? (Mocha)

Was just thinking about the laces last night taking them off. Got a few ordered on Amazon, same style, and will see if the browns match/other colors look good and report back.

[Fongstarr.]

Has IPath never made a Grasshopper low which in essence would be a dunk low? I feel like they should and would be an easy make for them.

Isn’t the cricket the low version? Look sick for sure..

Yea the cricket is technically the low, has covered lace loops, guess to slightly differentiate between the two

[Fongstarr.]

Oh right. The lace loops always throw me off.

I did find this though. I guess this is even more of a dunk. So they definitely did it.

  good lawdy.

Is that an old shoe, or a new one coming?

[YMCMB]

Wasn't that the Locust?

[Fongstarr.]

^^^^You are correct. It was like an updated looking Grasshooper to look more like a dunk. Looks like a dunk mid with the strap.

[turdtastic]

I always wanted the black garment leather Locusts.
So fuckin sexy…

[Too Frank To Fred]

How's the sizing on the Reed? I'm 11.5/ 12 but have been leaning toward 12s in most shoes... 440s for instance.

[theloniousmonk]

I think those lows were called the tam. They came out in 06, and had an insole with coconut bark in the arch and honeycomb shock pad in the heel.
The outsole was too stiff on the locusts and the tams though, and the bottoms still wore out too quick. The original sole grasshoppers skated way better than the locusts, I don’t think the locusts were around too long.

Ipath is love to see reissued is the O’Connor highs.

[Allen.]

Bring back the vibram soles. Or a knock off at least.

If you are a 12 I'd go with the 12's.  I got the 12 and 11.5 grasshoppers and the 11.5 fit fine.  The 11.5 Reeds are somewhat tighter than the grasshoppers, if you like your shoes tight than get the 11.5 otherwise I'd suggest the 12's.  Im actually going to order s12 Reeds this weekend

[Too Frank To Fred]

Appreciate that info @Abyss1

I can't do tight shoes anymore. Old man foot spread is real...

please don’t

Started skating a pair of black cats today, the upper works well for me
The toe flicks well. 

Comfort wise and boardfeel
I find them similar to a club c but grippier.. 

got home and started looking for another pair
happy with these

Stoked to read this review. I've got a pair of the brown cats, plan to rock them next and wear something different. Originally the heel felt a bit loose, but they seem to be fitting better when I try them on now.

[Tommy G]

Got a pair of Crickets in the mail yesterday. So far they're pretty great to walk around in. A buddy of mine told me that the soles are a little slippery on flick, can anyone confirm? Also the heel is a little lower than I'm used to but I've made do with ankle socks.

Breaking through that initial rubber in the flick area opens them up, I have the all black colorway and they are great flick wise, only gripes I have is the tongue is a lil too puffy for my personal taste, that and the laces are a lil too long when I cinch up on them

[Tommy G]

Gotcha. I can work with that. The tongue is perfect for me considering the last two shoes I've had are the Accel OG's and Emerica OG-1's so this is a slightly more slim version of both.
