IPATH Containment Thread

Hemp feels more snug than suede initially. I skated a pair of hemp Cats and they eventually broke in to feel as comfortable as suede ones… Cats are very forgiving with their spaciousness in general, though.

[steve]

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

I tried them on a couple of times in 2 sizes and wasn’t into them. They’re slimmer than the OG for sure. Wearing them and looking down the toe looks narrower as well.

Have suede highs and hemp lows. The sole is identical, but the hemp lows are much narrower. It seems as if the moccasin toe is sewn a lot more narrow. So they fit ok but are much more snug on the tops of  my feet.

Skated them for one session and ripped through the top layer of hemp, so I planned to use them as chillers, but with the narrower fit they just aren’t as comfy. Probably just giving them away at this point.

I got my B/w Reeds today...they look sick a fuck!

Only complaint is (again) the shoelaces that came with them are kinda thin and the pair I have look like the laces got discolored too...its kind of a dingy off white color, I usually replace them anyway so no big deal

They split fall into "drop one" and "drop two" those are drop two. I believe that's only for the US though - those Grasshoppers and others from the later release have already been spotted for sale elsewhere.

Was also wondering about the Gall derelicts too

How is the padding on the Reed? I don't skate vulcs normally but if they don't bottom out like Vans I'd love to give them a try.

Other than the brown low ones, the Reed are a wrapped cupsole shoe.

I’m interested in the cushion in these as well, they are listed in the site as a vulc with a midsole, and you are referring to them as a wrapped cup.

I can vaguely remember an Adidas shoe that was a vulc with a midsole, but can’t think of any others.

Imagine golf there was a shoe that was a blazer grip, with a midsole of a good thin vulc. Are these ipath’s that?

Anyone else feel like the grasshoppers run like a quarter size big

“Wrapped cup” is the specific wording their rep used to describe the sole to us

Whoooo’s going to cut a reed in half for all of us?

I’ve done my part. You all know what a grasshopper looks like cut in half.

Idk, but @Makaveli managed to sell me on the Reeds, and I wasn’t even planning on collecting that model.

Ah the joys of being a collector! 

I should note that Kenny Reed was my favorite skater, so it was kind of an easy sell.

The Nora's? I think the Puig indoors might be the same too

I got 11.5 and 12's Grasshopers and the 11.5 fit perfect, the 12's fit too but a bit roomier...the 11.5 was a bit tight when I ordered the Reeds.

I also want to order those poets for chillers so will probably order 12s

Ordering these shoes made me realize how not cheap these shoes are....but props to whomever does this.

A few "fall drop one" styles didn't make it to the Ipath website, including the white/gum 1985s I DM'd asking if they were scrapped and they confirmed that yeah, those ones were cut between catalog to production. The other two that seemingly didn't make it were blue hemp Reeds and white leather Derelicts.

[TD]

I will take a size 12 in these please.

I finally got a pair of these in hand, and they're magnificent. The suede is super nice to the touch, hopefully it lasts well

Anyone give some insight into Grasshopper size comparison Vs. SB Dunks?

Dunks fit way smaller and narrower. I wear a 12 in dunks and an 11.5 in Hoppers. Might be an overall width thing but yeah Hoppers are roomy and comfortable.

Further clarification: SB dunks feel tighter in width compared to a normal dunks. (I can’t wear SBs but have normal dunks fit just fine)

And support MFS’ answer above.

+1, I get an 11 in dunks and it feels very *fitted* (much less width), bought an 11 in 'hoppers and it's a roomy fit, but feels right.

Was the Derelict his 2nd pro model? I only knew of his first one I guess.

Speaking of, I saw this on ebay which I guess are samples:
