Kalis Vulc Mid Winterized since it’s raining

I can’t wait to get home and skate flatground/flatbar after work in the basement but my day has barely started.

Sold my Dunks copped another pair of 808's...

Some on foot pics.   Very interested, almost looking past the giant N

Appreciated.   Look good

Yeah, post on foot should always include a top view. Thx!

Definitely.   Ah I’m close but I don’t think I have it in me to pull the trigger for that much.

Keep your eyes on that sale thread, you know you'll be able to get them for 80 soon.  Also for those of you on the fence and can't try them on in person ... they are stiff as fuck (there are pros and cons to that) and I went .5 up.  Feel like I could have went tts but they would have been more snug than I would have liked.  Trade off is the potential for a slight heel slip vs snug toe box.  Take your pick.  I am loving them and am willing to discuss pros/cons if anyone doesn't feel like doing a bunch of research haha.

Have you skated in these yet? Heard people who went TTS on the 808 say felt fine for casual wear but then they should’ve gone .5 size up after skating in them

Always .5 up in the 808 imo unless you like your shoes real snug or maybe have narrow feet (I can't answer that part)

Honestly with the 808 you could even go one full sizeup from your tts in vans or nike.

I had the first 1010 cw and it was TTS for me, but thanks for the info guys, seems like .5 up is the way to go for 808s

Totally agree

They fit a little snug at first but once they've been broken in they're super comfy.  TTS I would say

Definitely a little snugger than the 1010 and not as comfortable, but I just couldn't say no to the price.

Cut the Blazers.  I don't know how y'all skate mids!
[close]
Why wouldn’t you just buy blazer lows?

In theory you're right, but the tooling on the Mid is noticeably different from the Low (& different from Low GT/Low GT Pro) and if you look at photos side by side or have pairs in person you can see how they're built differently.

The toe box, mid foot, amount of collar padding, and sole all feel different (even if slightly) on the mid. The Mid offers a "bubbled" toe box where it's almost like a cupsole where the upper sits above the vulc wrap. The Low is almost flush (regular low and GT Pro) Personally, this gives Blazer Mid some of the best flick across the board since it's a sweet balance between rubber/upper.

Taking those pros of a mid and  chopping them into a modified Low sounds like a good time if you like qualities of the Pro but a lower cut.

I loved skating the Mids and am tempted to skate mine again

OG Blazer Lows had a structured toe cap, back when they first dropped in the early 00's. The GT Blazers got rid of some of the stiffer structure behind the suede, assuming for flexibility. The GT is pretty floppy compared to a lot of shoes.

After the half cab this is the best skate shoe ever made. Don’t @ me, the history speaks for itself.

how does the feel compared to non-QS dunks with the sb tooling? I've always wanted to skate an og pair of sb dunks before they changed the tooling, slimmed down the tongue, and got rid of the EVA in the midsole in the forefoot

Grabbed myself some red Atlantics.
I just have to skate Lakais when ever I set up a Crail board.
It just feels right.

These feel mostly fine, a little snug, but breaking in and loosening up while skating. They’re not overly bulky or anything. Each dunk seems to fit slightly different to me. The worst ones are the two orange label holdover colorways. They just feel half a size small. The highs seem a little more consistent in sizing and feeling

I love the Atlantic. On my 4th pair now. I really like that XLK sole from Lakai and they hold up fine for me.

Skating the Mod Cup right now and its pretty damn good. I always recommend an insole upgrade, but other than that the shoes skate great.
