Reminds me of the AV6 from ages ago

[Ok]

Third pair of AREths in a row

i want to try this brand.
sometimes i’m convinced they look like a toddler’s shoes, and other times the shoes look nice.
how’s the quality and sizing?

has anyone skated in the Adidas Alohas?  comfy?  wide-ish?  comparable to ________ (i.e., Adidas Puig)?

I currently do. The shoe is super comfy, and i can fit my wide feet into them no problem. When first putting them on it feels like they are missing structural integrity but that is the part which makes them extremely comfy and non-comparable to other adidas models. I think you should go for it, in my opinion the best skate straight out the box shoe i ever had.

Same here. From the start of the year I've skated three pairs. Can't see myself skating anything else. I'm really picky when it comes to shoes.

That description is pretty spot on. I find most shoes too narrow; the Alohas are the comfiest shoes I've had in a long time. You're right, you can't really compare them to any other Adidas model, I'll try though: they're like a wider, flatter, lighter Busenitz.

I haven't skated a cupsole since the Busenitz first came out. I thought I could only do vulcs until I tried the Alohas. The cupsole is super flexible and light. I love the broken in feel. Despite this, they are so damn durable. To test my first pair I skated almost everyday in them. They held up for 3 months and could've kept going. The only thing I can suggest is getting the colourways with the leather collar lining. For me they fit better and will not rip from heelflip tricks. Give them a shot.

thanks to both of you for the insight... they sound good

Trying out the “new” Emerica heretics

How do you like them? I would try these in a different colorway. White with some tiny green details or something like that.

They’re surprisingly pretty solid for a cupsole without foam in the midsole. I was almost expecting it to feel like one of lakais cupsole shoes but actually pretty comfy on foot. Rubber toecap is going to be indestructible. I usually tend to bust through the toe of any shoe I wear first and after about an hour of skating there’s no real signs of wear on the shoe, besides the laces, but they do come with lace protectors that I forgot to loop them through. Definitely would have liked a green accent on the shoe forsure.

That's what I was thinking about the midsole. More like a Lakai Atlantic instead of a Etnies Joslin. But I think that’s fine, I won't huck huge gaps. Thanks for the answer.

I made a shoe review of the EMERICA Servold shoe! Hybrid Slip-On's for the win! Really cool summer shoe that doesn't feel like a normal vulc shoe. 5 Stars!

Just started skating the Adidas "adi2000". after owning these for almost 2 years. They were 10/10 chillers. Finally decided to skate them. like any puffy shoe, board feel is little. It took forever to get the flick to not grip the board. After session 3 they started to work. Would still pick up another pair, to chill

[Frontside Slappy]

Recently got a pair of black/gum 480 highs and threw some white laces in.

[Ok]

the best pants. mine have not been lasting they blow out at top seam of the double knee, right around where the front pocket ends. i try not to wash and dry them very often, because that seems to be what’s killing them.

i would definitely get them repaired, gives em character
agreed with the limited washes, only machine dry in a pinch

I remember last year that I got the brown half cabs that were two different sizes. Collar height was like an inch off, and that awful elastic strap wasn't even stitched in the right spot.
