The Gamma looks promising for whatever that's worth, looking forward to trying the white suede cw.

emerica made one step forward with gama and one step back with making the tilt vulc. Though at least its not another romero laced clone...

I think the grey tilts look dope. But the black ones the white leather over the eyelets is too much I wish they did the same color layout as the grey but with black.

Bummed to hear the Telfords have a super thin sole. My only pair of Lakais are a pair of Guy Mariano XLKs from like 2012 that I got for like $15 and they honestly have less impact resistance than a pair of normal Vans. Flatground hurts my feet in them.

Glad I still have a pair of Dunk Highs in the closet.

so getting maite's samba. just skated a black "pharrell"-samba and it's been so much fun – and so short. shit ton of board feel and really slick look. thought the gazelle adv would be in the same park as the samba, but sadly it's not. way wider and feels soft and gooey...

I got some of the skateshop day ones on the way, and I picked up some white Gammas and some Spanly's. Once my Figgy's are toast, I'll break some of these out.

so i've worn a new pair of the skate halfcabs daily since saturday & they are definitely a much tighter fit all around compared to classics.  the sole is also unbelievably stiff.  i can barely move my toes around in them, and there is almost no flexibility.  classics imo are 100x more comfortable.  i cant comment on how they skate, but i would definitely need to break them in more before i would be able to get a good session in.

This sounds like some I still have new in boxes from around 2010 or so, maybe earlier, so solid with thicker soles that last way longer then the newer softer versions, but take a bit more time to wear in nicely, which is a good thing, because it also protects your feet better underneath and all that, but I guess the down side is if you want to put the shoes on and skate now, you have to break them in first, which you don't really have to do at all with the "pro" versions before they were changed up to the "skate" versions.
I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I was incredibly pissed with my Rowans being stiff and making me feel like I'd never skated before but they've since broken in quite nicely. Definitely a much longer break in period than any other Vans shoe I've skated.
I've had a better understanding of what is happening around me while smoking Salvia as a passenger in a moving vehicle than reading your post

I wish they’d release sk8-mids as frequently as they seem to in the UK and Europe.

I found this dark brown leather pair of sk8 mids at a thrift shop w some miles on them, wore them for another few years.
Regret skating those out, cant find them anywhere. Leather on them was really nice
no, i live in an efficiency by myself and work in middle management like you, loser

I don't know why people are obsessed with being able to skate shoes out of the box. Longer break in usually equates to a longer period in the life of the shoe where it's at its best.

Which is very true of the Rowans, IMO. I did walk around in them for a bit before skating them and it all worked out.

Doesn't really matter to me how good they skate, these look like "I wanted Jordan 1s but mommy couldn't afford them so we drove five minutes to Kmart and bought these for $30."

I’m pretty sure something changed in the Rowans. Width, insole, etc.

My first pair was the oatmeal/dark gum colorway which is a “newer” drop. I fucking loved them, even just walking in them, right away.

Then a few weeks ago I bought the pine colorway, which, correct me if I’m wrong, was an older drop. It fucking hurts just standing in them.
