After my last fumble, here is some real insight. Not sure if this has been linked already.

Was jonesing for looks of upcoming shoes and that vid popped up a few days ago. Thanks

Itching for the black leather Reeds and want some Derelicts if there are some dope colorway options

[TD]

Just saw these landed - we are firmly in 2008 territory again:

Suede on both black and grey is medium-soft
Pocket is deeper (by like 2x almost)
Little heavy metal keychain
Black box
Great quality control again

Amazing.

(I don’t see how anyone would be disappointed with buying these, unless they just didn’t fit well or something related to that, or couldn’t skate them)

I’m calling them my Dark Knights.

[EDMUND]

Those look good.

I am about to start skating IPATH instead of NB. I’ve two pairs of Cats, maybe the brown suede Reed lows next.

what a nice colourway - 100% would cop if I saw those here.

Sooo tempted by the wax hemp crickets... three way tie between the reed mids, crickets or the brown/white grasshoppers right now

Ordered the camo Grasshoppers from Kinetic/Nocturnal yesterday. QC has been great from the get-go, yet still seems to be improving with every drop. Ready to be blown away by these in person.

1985s in white leather with the all gum sole should be on the way as part of this current drop as well - would love to put those to grip tape ASAP. New stuff has been showing up globally the last week or so, but haven't seen those or the Fred Gall shoe anywhere yet.

[EDMUND]

I skated two pairs of Cats from the first drop and am curious if they’ve made any improvements to them as well…

I saw them in person. They look as good as the photo.

I’m on my fourth Reed low, love it, great shoe overall, really feels good to look different than the crowd

I ordered 3 pairs from the new drop last night (hurray for drunk purchases!).

I want to do that! Sounds fun.

Which three?

(I tried on the brown/cream, and the black/grey grasshoppers. Was regrettably not drunk and in a very clear state of mind, and so placed a limit on spending and only got one.  The brown and cream grasshoppers are nice, just the black/greys won out. All the reeds and poets are super nice, too.) 

[Mongo Lloyd]

Brown/cream hoppers (they already arrived today!), black croc hoppers, and the green hemp crickets.

I still would like to pick up the grey hoppers. It sorta seems like the quality has improved in this newer drop!

[yourfuckingdad]

Has anyone skated the vegan crickets with the synthetic toe? How did they hold up?

[Mongo Lloyd]

If my imagining is true, And quality has improved (OG drop
Quality was still excellent), is it worth revisiting the black pebble leather grasshoppers? Does anyone know if there’s been any changes between seasons?

I definitely can tell that they did some quality of fit and life improvements.

Also, the “2nd season” black pebble will have this hard plastic loop (instead of initial release loop built into the material itself).

If the 2nd season black pebble got the same improvements (more flexible side walls around the ankle, extra row of lace holes under the strap, plastic strap loop instead of built into material, and just a bit tighter around foot on sides so it doesn’t bulge out as much on the sides) then it’s worth a second a second look.

I haven’t confirmed any of the fit stuff on the black pebble, though… just that strap loop.

[Mongo Lloyd]

Thanks dawg! You’ve definitely been the main catalyst here for getting me amped on the new drop.

I bought nearly everything from the first as a massive fan/collector, and it looks like I’ll be doing similarly in this drop.

So I got a launch pair of the black pebbled jawns. Then I got a pair from the summer drop a few months ago, I didn't notice any differences in quality but there is a slight difference in finishing, they changed where the strap loops through the shoe. Last feels exactly the same, nice and wide and pretty much broken in out the box. I got a pair of the black crock hoppers too and they are suuuuper nice, almost better than the pebbles. I kinda regret giving my launch pair to a homie.

Hell yeah, No problem. We’re stoke buddies, then  There’s plenty reasons to be really happy about these.

So uhh… what are you going to do with your all your metal keychains?!

[rikki]

One reason to be happy about the oncoming cold season is that I get to wear my Cats again. Haven't had chillers as warm and comfy (and good looking) in over 20 years.

Oh man, I haven’t even thought about it yet. I have a pile of the rubber keychains as well. 

Probably hand some out to the homies I think!

What do you usually wear? No hate, Im just tripping on your description of the cats. I wanted em to be as awesome to me as they were in 2002, but they weren’t comfortable. Roomy enough, but thats about it

Usually as chillers? Just some random skate shoes when it's warm. But like I said, the Cats are hella warm and comfortable. I mean, walking on a cloud level comfy.

But yeah, if you're referring to skating them, well, that's definitely not for me. I would sweat like hell and probably roll my ankle. I prefer light and low-ish cupsoles for skating. Couldn't imagine skating the Cats. But some people enjoy them as skate shoes a whole lot.

I ordered the b/w Reeds...will probably order another pair with the Blk/gray Grasshoppers when they drop on their official website

[Bob Loblaw]

what loose, straight leg, brown pants go best with iPaths these days?

[toque]

any insight on how the cats low feels compared to the og cats? They look a fair bit slimmer overall. 11.5 in the ogs barely pinched my toes but 12 felt too roomy/loose. Trying to figure out what size to try in the hemp lows
