I might be a shoe colour snob, but even on sale for half price I still wouldn't really be keen on those black / black with white stitching colourways.

Guessing I am not the only one either.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I am with you. I also cannot stand the checkered tag on the side and the pattern on the inside. Thankfully I can just go back to skating the classics full-time though I do adore the pro line before all of this came about.

I have so many old skools from back in the day that I would put black laces in and use marker pen to black out the stitching too.  Still got some and they are a good low key colour option, but mostly just go with the normal ones nowdays.

I always have a pair or two of old skools and sk8 hi shoes with black laces just for when I am feeling it though.

Had so so many Vans pros over the years and glad they've had a bit of an upgrade but I'll definitely be cutting that checky tag of any in the future, it just looks bad.

I tried on the new halfcabs over the weekend. Wasn't impressed at all, they were waaaay too slim. To the point where they are really hard to put on. I also got bunching in the middle of tongue. I was really looking forward to these. Huge disappointment.

The checkerboard tag isn’t as jarring on the all black or blue sk8-hi, but it sucks on the all white vans, which is usually where I venture

I think the tag looks good on the lampins. The tag on the stripe is ugly looking.

If I get the new Sk8-Hi or Old Skools with them on the stripe like that, I'll definitely be cutting them off. They aren't even normally there on the basic old Classics I grew up on.

I kinda liked the idea of the tag on the back of the half cabs being introduced, though that was with the original tag.  Maybe will work with the checkers

Got a two for one here and yes it's Julian again from his Insta  lol


New Gamma with the G6 sole that's been talked about. I was thinking the Pro would be Julian or Spanky when it was teased that a G6 pro version was coming, so we'll see when it drops.

Also, Julian of Indy?  ??? Those like Thunders to me. Hmmm

Good eye! Yeah, that's Julian's colorway of the Gamma with the pour-in G6 dropping in Holiday. Nah, Julian is still on Indy.

Oh yeah, way to lose customers.  I would have loved to ask what size is the "right" size then and hoped he could have given me a long winded but super detailed argument as to what constitutes the right or wrong size before I said thanks and walked out.

What board size did you have and what was he saying you should have?

8.5 and was trying to convince me 8.25 or 8.38 was "better." so dumb.

Ha yeah, reminds me of one place I went into and they only had smaller boards, even though the customer was wanting a bigger board, so the shop guy was trying to talk this guy in to a board he didn't want to ride.  Good luck there, but I am not buying anything from your shop mate!

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I wonder if there will be any noticeable difference between this new Skate Classics and the Pro Classics, I guess not.
Still gonna try them.

I got to try on all the new Skate Classics at the store I work at today. Some points:

-New insole is firmer and flatter, Old Skools and Authentics feel like most vulcs now. Less squishy feeling shoes in general.
-The Sport Pro feels like a Blazer to me, really looking forward to skating it.
-The Slip-On is very tight fitting now and the toebox is narrower. I personally found it too tight, break in will be awkward.
-Half Cab is dead, they killed it. sorry lads.
-If you like the Sk8-Hi you'll probably still like em.

personally I don't like the new fit. shoe is longer at least my pair was. I don't like the extra wiggle room.... if I went a half size down I feel they would be to tight width wise. I ordered the old skools. maybe I will try the slip ons but id rather wait to see them at vans stores since my foot size (7.5) is very rare to find at shops. I was even bummed that the first run had an exclusive e shops only barcode so I couldn't even return them to a vans to swap for a different shoe :/ but with that being said and having friends that work at the vans store I pulled the trigger on the ave pro. as ugly as that shoe is I've been really enjoying how they skate.
