Post the shoes you're wearing.

[svilleantigo]

Yeah, it's weird. Adidas' site describes them as "clean, basic, and vulcanized" then touts "rubber cup sole" as one of the features. Checked every other shoe they had listed to be sure, and everything seemed accurate based on the features list (Buse,Ronan,Silas etc. cup, Campus Vulc vulc) But I've skated them, and if they're vulc, they feel the exact opposite of any other vulc I've ever tried and such descriptors become essentially useless in trying to describe a shoe. You can't bend them whatsoever.. they remind me of wooden clogs or something. Ahhhfuckit.

New-old-stock! With the old G2 footbed:

well stocked for 2012

I want to rub those all over my body. Shit that looks so good! As soon as I get a job I think I'm gonna go on a blazer shopping spree.

Homer Simpsons are killing it, as are the rest though. Anyone know any UK sites with suede vans slipsthat arent like size 4 or size 14 (im a uk 10)? Can't find them anywhere

Just got my Skate's. I haven't had the chance to skate them yet, but from walking around they do feel a little stiffer than the campus vulc sole, but alot more flexible than most other cupsoles. (I walked around with a Skate on one foot and a new Campus on the other)

I like the shape better than my Campus'. So I guess its all down to how they skate now.

Svilleantigo, which colourway did you get? Every model Adidas makes seems to change quality with the coulourway.

[svilleantigo]

Mine were the twine/gum from last fall.

[crackrazor]

That's a solid arsenal right there.

[garbage plate]

just picked these up real cheap

[Mr Squiggle]

Does anyone else on Slap dislike (vulc) Blazers? I found the toe box to be a bit strange for kickflips, also the lack of ventilation bothered me. I can definitely understand why so many people would like them so much if they didn't experience the problem with the toe box (with the amazing sole and durability of the shoe), but I just couldn't get into the pair I had a while ago.

if there's one thing that needs to be fixed, it's the ventilation.

but if you're not into the toe, they're not for you, shit's pointy.

Yeah, I probably just have weird shaped feet.

For skating...                                                                                   ...and for the rainy days.

 

These ones had black sharpie applying...                                           ...and these ones tag removing.

Just got a new load of cheap gravis, dylan slip on le's in grey and in wine, navy dylan mids and black suede filters

[oyolar]

dylan slip on le's in wine

Damn you. I loved these, but my local shop didn't have them. Not that I need another pair of shoes. I'm planning on gettin those Dylan slip on/AWS collaboration ones where the black leather wears into silver.

i hate to be this guy. adidas skate's are vulc. i know what their site says.
grab one of your shoes. in a lit room. look at where the stripes meet the sole. you'll see the rubber bumps out where the stripes are. 3 bumps. they are slight but very visible. that is because the side was wrapped around the shoe and bottom sole. then baked in an oven so the rubber shrank around the shoe and sole. that is a vulc sole.

[Rumpleforeskin]

Has anyone tried any Axion shoes?

not to try to change the subject, but y'all should try the adi ease. They're easily (no pun intended) one of the best shoes i've skated, low profile, great flick and grip, simple design. and the suede ones were actually pretty tough, lasted a good while.

I want to try the Heritage. I can't rock their ridiculous throwback shoes, not my style but I could use a good cupsole. It looks like a lakai manchester.

Yeah I noticed the line in the wrap. The actual sole is noticeably tougher than a campus sole though and the pattern is slightly smaller.
Still haven't got round to skating them though. Shit weather.



Also just got these on sale for 50% off.

I have the Olympus right now, and they feel great, super sick right out of a box. But if you like thin shoes, those are not for you, I guess.

[Rumpleforeskin]
