They just released a shoe and you guys keep posting old shit.

I’m personally a grasshopper guy, but is this what you seek?

I'm guessing you didn't know we can do both: post old and new shit, which is exactly what's happening. People are posting archival posts as references to the upcoming reissues IPath is coming out with. I've also seen multiple posts on here of the latest Grasshopper colors, Poet, Cricket, Reed, etc. which covers the majority of their latest releases.

Get a grip

You know that you, as a member of this forum, can actually post the shoe to share it in this thread and discuss it instead of just complaining?

Use your powers wisely, hero member

I was holding out for the canvas/ synthetic green/ black grasshoppers but Just ordered the Olive Hemp/ Synthetic Crickets instead as Daddies had them for $80 (free ship) and they look better to me. Still might get the 'hoppers at some point.

First pair of iPaths in close to two decades... Stoked.

[Bristol_Palin]

I’m skating in the brown reed lows and I’m loving them. I could just skate this shoe forever. I was skating just skate half cabs the last five years and I’m really liking the change. I hope they continue making these forever. It’s like a better feeling lower half cab. I also hope the quality is consistent because that was my beef with half cabs. Each pair felt different and the last few I had sort of sucked.

How's the grip compared to the Half Cabs?

I want this specific colorway so bad.

Heads up, every other colorway is a cupsole

I saw that. I can just about handle the little red accent on the heel but those little metal stars might just ruin that Grasshopper colorway for me. Shame b/c I dig the color and material combo... Who am I kidding, I'll probably still bite if they are in the upcoming sales...

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

You could probably just pry them off with a butter knife.

Hope so.

Black waxed canvas grasshopper just dropped, but yeah, I’m not digging the red accents either tbh….

Just picked up a pair of the Magenta collab crickets!

Hope they’re good for you. I never had them originally, but I am skating really well in the grasshoppers now (other than the failures of an aging body).

I’m happy with the quality of these though. Put me also in camp of “I hope they make these forever”

Hahahaha dang so I guess my next pair won’t feel consistent. They all say vulcanized outsole on the site. Either way brown pair skates great.

appreciate that. very odd ipath would do that. you just saved me a whole lot of time on returning a potential pair. I was torn between the brown suede and new black leather ones they released.

[TD]

I still can't wrap my head around the reed being a cupsole - is it like a hybrid vulc outsole / cup-style midsole?

I am loving my grasshopper's - the brown suede is super buttery and the plush on the ankle and tongue is just right. Serves me well on the three tricks I can still do 

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

I still can't wrap my head around the ALL of the vulc shoes being a cupsole - is it like a hybrid vulc outsole / cup-style midsole?

in the meantime, check the all black waxed canvas/ synth I was talking about:

These aren't all-black, they're dark green canvas and black synth. That first photo is misleading, but when you scroll thru the other photos you can see they are green.

I think I posted it in this thread a page or two back, but it’s what the rep described to me as a “wrapped cup.” I think the mid black leather are still vulc, but all the lows except for the brown one are cup.

Not sure why they made that choice, which seems to be a commons question with each line.

[Sila]

It's just a vulc with a midsole

[Makaveli]

Ya again, the rep, who for them helps make the shoes, specifically said cupsole. All shoes technically have a midsole, but wrapped cup is a cupsole shoe with a vulc look. Will have significantly less board feel and much more cushion.
