Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

[WideFeet]

Would love to see the Shams come back! I had one pair and I remembered I liked them.

Back then, I don’t ever remember seeing the Shams in any Vans stores. Not my local one at least. And I never saw at any of my local shops. Maybe Zumiez? I only remember seeing one other person gave them besides me, and I had to go to SF to the DLX store to come across them

Mentioned above, but I believe these are the og shams but damn I’d skate those as is. With an update it could fit with today’s bulky shoes.

I've always maintained that that particular shoe was one of the best vans has ever produced: essentially a beefed-up half cab on a cupsole. Very underrated shoe!

[close]

It was underrated because it had such a small shelf life.  I wanted those brown ones from Really Sorry but never saw them at any shops

[close]

So anyone know if these are actually re-releasing or is rowley just showing a pic of an old pair? Super curious would definitely try them out if they released

Got left on “read” by Rowley.   Maybe others can DM him

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

DM-ed him like a man and asked for a OG reissue complete with vegan suede… he defs won’t reply to that one
having said that, I don’t ever remember it getting released in this colorway so it’s either a new color about to drop or an unreleased sample.

[beatifk]

it's shocking how many of you are jazzed about that shoe... it's atrocious, haha.

But, to each their own. Hope you guys are able to enjoy a nice stroll down memory lane.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

it's not the greatest looking shoe ever, especially in that colorway, but it skated like a fucking dream!

Whew I really want these babies to come back. Had like 3 pairs of these dirt cheap from Ross back in the day. Don't know why they didn't sell well cause they were some of my favorite shoes.

I might be way off but there’s a bit of Airwalk Enigma vibes with this shoe and it’s so appealing to me.

Growing up, Vans was pushing Rowley Heavy. Every mag had a Rowley ad and they were always so sick. From the trick, spots and the fits. However I could never get my hands on a pair because my parents weren’t into buying things online and my local never got these in. I recently tried the Rowley reissue that came out  and they were as good as I dreamed of. so I’m hoping for the same results if these come out plus that toe just looks so good for tres…

What insoles did they have? I suspect they changed the reissues a fair bit from the originals.
I remember begging for them and when my mum finally saw them was so off it like oh don't get those they are like the terrible shoes I wore when I was a kid. I argued they weren't but we're just made to look like that style. Seriously had bare skin poking thru the Ollie and kickflip holes within a week and the ball of my foot showing thru the bottom of the sole. I'd say second worst shoes as far as durability I've ever had (after the first emerica Leo's) even worse than canvas classic vans.

Id love to skate those and I don't even skate Vans.

They were these pretty sure they came out in 2019 or 2020. these were a vulc i'm pretty sure but some came out with a wafflecup. I agree the OG from back then probably sucked but I am glad I got to try them with the updates.

Trust me, I know... those ones that were kinda like bastardized old skools with 66/99 embossed on the back were my favorite skate shoes of all time. When the guy at the shop told me they were going out of production I bought as many as I could... it was the first item that I ever put "on ice".

But these blue/grey ones... sorry, they're pretty gross. The Airwalk comparison someone made in this thread is pretty spot on actually.

Rowley saved Vans and made them cool again. It was one of the biggest shoe company pick ups of all time.

Look a lot like Tim O'Connor Saviers to me

This might belong in Non Skate Shoes thread, but Simple Shoes posted this story today and based on the toes of those models, they definitely look like they might be intended for skating. Also the person they tagged, Josh Brubaker I believe he heads up Clearweather which took a crack at skate styles before.



Personally I'd rather skate the old models Gonz used to skate but I'm old and they appeal to me nostalgically.

Those are now the Larry David pro model.

those fastbreaks are a must cop.  It is literally the greatest skateboard shoe I've ever skated 19 years in

I had Rowley shams in navy and was fucking loved them. I got them at an outlet for like $10 and kinda thought they were ugly at first.

Fuck it bring back all Rowleys especially the xl2 and the SPV

I think spv will have to wait a few more years for the Dylan/slimmer cuffed pants come back around. Spv with big boys would be pretty crazy looking. Vans not making the shams, or dr Ts or any panel toe cupsole while everyone is fighting for dunks is pretty sloppy.
Xl2 with something other than sponge midsole could be a success

Why do I kinda like the navy and white ones. What is wrong with me??!

They're kinda sick. The design is good. If Muska started a new sneaker brand and released these at a sub-$150 price, I think they would sell out quickly.

I hope this means Lucien is still getting paid by LV.

[Bunk Moreland]

Heavy nostalgia coming through with those Simple’s. There was a low with a leather toe that julien had a photo wearing, but the old schools are all time.

They still made those up until recently. You can still find them online. It's called the retro 91 or something like that.

They do have the Fairlane which is a dunk-esque cup sole shoe.
