My two cents on sizing:

I bought three pairs from the initial offering, all size 12 (Grasshopper, Cats, and Reed Mid). The Grasshopper and Cats fit true to size, and the Reed Mid is a little shorter, but still fits me comfortably. I noticed this when I tried to put the cork insoles from my Reed Mids into my Cats, and that insole slid around inside that shoe. It did the same thing in the Grasshoppers.

I'm somewhere between an 11.5 and 12, and the shorter shoe makes for a more functional skate shoe (less space at the front of the toe box), and the longer ones make for more comfortable non-skate shoes. In this particular case it works out perfectly for me because of the three I bought, the Reed Mids would be my first choice of the three to skate in, the Cats are my first choice for a nicer, change-of-pace shoe, and the Grasshoppers are my first choice for an all-around do everything workhorse.

Love my Cats, would never skate them though.

Anyone know the ETA on the Fall drop?

[whats upman]

Official account posted Brian Powderly skating in these previously-unseen Reed Mids. Is he on?! Finally a non-rasta colorway of this shoe... these ones aren't in the Fall 2025 catalog

Anyone know the ETA on the Fall drop?

first day of fall is in 7 days and haven't gotten any emails from the mailing list since labor day sale...I dont have IG, anything posted on tier IG account about the drop?

[FrAnKenFrEd]

I asked my local shop to get me a pair of the new Green hemp/ black synthetic grasshoppers and was told they will be in this week.

I have grasshoppers and am a little disappointed with the midsole cushioning. It’s not like my foot feels like it’s hitting the ground or anything when I skate but it doesn’t feel like there’s much support making my feet feel super sore when walking around in them :-(

Check my cut-in-half on page 20. Might explain why.

I use aftermarket insoles.

aftermarket insoles definitely a must. I popped in some converse cons insoles today and it made a huge difference. The shoe is hella roomy. Almost makes me think they just cheaped out on giving an actual good insole

The insole is comfy for chilling everyday: it’s ortholite (recycled version even perhaps). For impact skating (or old frail joints) something more is needed, though.

The hard foam midsole helps provide stability over the eggcrate, which is nice. (I didn’t even know until cutting it open.)

I did skate one session in stock insole, and it felt like every other skate shoe to me that doesn’t have aftermarket insoles.

We're getting a lot more in Australia, just saw these reed mids in black pop up, plus a bulk of new CW's

That Australian shop Kick Push was also among the very first to post the spring/summer releases, which iirc were then in U.S. shops a few weeks later. I DM'd the official account and they just said fall stuff drops "shortly." All good signs...

The Poet has a nice shape to it, glad they added the little embossed logo on the side. Would love to skate those. Definitely need the camo Grasshoppers as chillers.

I almost pulled the trigger today on those...will wait a week to see if any US shops have it, if not will definitely be getting them from here

Does your local do online orders, or does anyone else have a local shop that will get the latest drop in the US? Thanks in advance.

I’m on the fence with the Cats Low in buttery wheat, but those Grasshoppers look too good to pass on.

They sure do, just don't snake my size (12) hahah.

I was only going to get the Grasshoppers but the Crickets look great also.

[whats upman]

Interesting how the olive/black Crickets are hemp but the Grasshoppers are canvas. Wonder which would hold up better. Pretty sure they're both waxed - don't think any of the natural hemp ones from the first drop were?

They really need to do a white midsole Cricket colorway. Or perhaps even a bunch of white midsole Cricket colorways.

[FrAnKenFrEd]

I think they will both be good with the high wear synth areas. At least they were BITD....

[Jared]

Tried on the grasshoppers on last month and was pretty disappointed. They don’t have the cushioning or feel of the OGs I had as a kid, which is a shame. If they switch this up and substitute for a better midsole, I’m game. They fit true to size though.

[DarkPools]

I was only going to get the Grasshoppers but the Crickets look great also.

Seeing this side by side makes it appear that the Cricket is olive/black upper and the Grasshopper is grey/black upper. I'm not red/green colorblind, as far as I know. I was always curious which CW people referred to when they mentioned green/black Grasshopper since I didn't associate it with this one. If it is green,  it must be really muted

[JM]

I will take a size 12 in these please.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

Not sure I’m feeling those little red accents …

[TD]

I've been genuinely considering pulling the trigger on them

My brother/sister in Path, you should pull all the triggers.

Was trying to find some of the color ways you guys have been showing, and found this. Are any of these legit releases as far as we know?
