Gonna try these out in a few
Skated these a couple times and they’re definitely a shoe for you “I want a cupsole that feels like a vulc” ass niggas
They have the react cushioning in the heel, but overall they are a very slim shoe even throughout the upper and heel collar. The top of the tongue is padded more than average though. If you take the midsole out, the shoe is comparable to an es accel slim in terms of padding throughout the upper. You can easily fold the whole shit in half without the midsole
They’re solid on foot but I prefer the 1010’s, which are like my perfect shoe all around. I want my cupsoles to have boardfeel, but still be padded in the forefoot. I’m not a fan of really padded heels with paper-thin forefoot cushioning but that’s just me. I will say the grip is excellent.
They’re basically slimmed down dunks with a hybrid vulc sole, which may be the perfect shoe for some, but not me. They do flick well and have great boardfeel so if that’s what you’re looking for, I’d recommend.
I don’t want this to sound like I’m overly critical of the shoe, I just knew immediately that I prefer skating the 1010s. I was super trash the first time I skated these to the point where my ollies weren’t even straight. Skated my tiagos the next day and went ham. I had a much better go in the second session and skated great, but I miss the tank-like feel of the tiagos and having a more padded structure around my foot
