Saw some new Sheckler pro models on the Etnies site, nothing special, and they want $124 retail.  That is insanity for a shoe to skate in.

I completely forgot this shoe existed for a while. To me it looks like a mock up of Ellington's Supra Avenger upper (with the paneling more sleek looking), and his new Li-Ning sole made a little blocky.

Id skate it, but not for anything close to retail.

in this case, it being simple is good, but looking at the top shoe's sole where the toe bumper starts, it looks like part of it either wasnt glued in the right place or the sole is pushed down farther than the sides go. just looks off

Globe Gillette's official pics

Sure I want austyn to get paid. A lot. I want globe to stop making shoes worn by lutzka in United by fate.

These aren’t it. Way too much rubber.

On the topic of the Berle and Nora comparison, proportion-wise, the Vans look far more natural and foot shaped compared to the Adidas. They do look pretty similar, but not totally. Denying there being no similarity is just being blind to it.

Adidas tend to be narrow looking/fitting and really flat from what I've seen/owned. All the matchcourt models fit narrow, yet boxy for this exact reason.

Berle's were botched by some awkard paneling meets unnecessary rubber on a weird sole. If they lost the toe rubber, used the drop-in popcush (instead of that stupid stitched in ultimate waffle thing) and put some damn padding in the tongue and collar (something closer to a KWalks/Dunk/Marana) they could have been way better.

Good for Nora and I hope they sell well regardless!! They look better in darker colors to me, rather than the two light colors already posted.

Definitely one where saying the shoes don't look alike is actually off-base - there's definitely a commonality. IMO the Nora's look wildly better than the Berle's I think because of Adidas's sporty nature - the less chunky looking sole, the way the Vans look really stiff, the colors and materials I guess all make the Nora look comfy and light while the Berle looks like a weird mess.

Ends up on Globe.  Essentially tells all of us that Globe is a joke and he’s smarter than the brand and can reinvent everything about it.  Then gives us this shoe… Looks like someone got out-Globed by Globe

Maybe it’s the pic and I’d have to see them in real
life, but those Austyn’s look like platforms.

Don’t love the foxing tape.

These probably don’t look as bad in person, but they should call these “the Pompous.”

These look a lot better. The rubber on the sides make them look like inverted color spats.

I'm all for constructive criticism and those Globes are not even in my realm of purchase possibilities but so we forget these shoes are for skating in. Like I know myself and many others wear skate shoes as chillers and for the look down effect, but these Austyn Globes and the Emerica Vulcanos? are two types of shoes that have the extra rubber aesthetic that the shoes are specifically made for skating in and not as chillers. So as a skate shoe to just strictly skate in I think they hit the nail on the head. As chillers or just walking around... Toss them in the trash bin.

Maybe I'm a dummy, buy why on earth do you need that much rubber in the midsole foxing tape? What trick is roasting through that zone? Are you skating in puddles? I dunno why but the way he talked about this shoe and what it came out as made me lose some respect for him.

I'm thinking maybe because the upper itself has very little to it structure wise it might help the shoe stay kinda solid. Stop your foot just moving around all over the place

Yeah they've been going in Japan for maybe 15 years. A friend got a pair I got to see in person and yes they are pretty bulky. The sole is still the same as it was in 2012/13 ish and it's pretty thick. Kinda surprised they're going international I think they only do pretty small runs.

Your proposal is 100 times better… didn’t expect Austyn to save / change Globe - but this was much worse the expected. Thought he will launch at least a shoe you can buy of cheap from the discount corner

Although not explicitly stated, I really, really, want to believe that the "OF" on the back of the Lakai Telford Low by artist Nathaniel Russell is a SLAP message board reference.
