these hours is hours shoes dilo posted look alright. i actually think their shoes look pretty good from a far. when you zoomed in on older product pics there was all kinds of wonky craftsmanship tho on the samples they photog'd. definitely looks like they try to go after the lrab demographic. i think that's ok, we can have two more or less logoless skateshoebrands posing as fashion sneaker brands.

i need to confess, i somehow started liking adidas forums, especially this weird as fuck colorway:

i find myself looking these up all the time. probably not gonna buy unless these show up at my local as well, but they just look so comfy.

[close]

they are a solid shoe for sure....the leather ones i have at least, don't know about suede ones. i feel like these always look kinda puffy/ big in photos but pretty good in footy- preferably with wider pants though.

like a dunk with a lil more to it.
big ups for wanting to support your local as it should be but i got tempted by a good sale price......plus my local closed last year  :'(

sorry about that

i try to support my local if i can, but i wouldn't feel bad supporting shrn either, they are awesome. it's more like an arbitrary rule i go by to prevent myself from ordering random shit online lol.

EDIT: oh btw, since you mentioned you bought some forums, what's the fit like? did you go tts? also agree about them looking better on foot then on pics by themself. i guess seeing them a lot made them grow on me.

I’d say forums are true to size. One of the most comfortable shoes on the market. Wearable all day long and keep your feet from hurting. Really good quality and super durable

I'm super into these. I bought a pair of the black leather ones that are out now on a whim and I am a fan. Definitely super comfortable and I can be in them all day with no issues or discomfort. They're a little more bulky than a dunk but not hugely so, and I find them much more comfortable

Ironically I've bought like four or five pairs and hated each pair. Tried every size from 10 to 11. Low, mid, and high. Nothing but foot pain. I wore a pair in Boston for three days and had the worst puss-filled blisters on my heel for a month. ADV was slightly better but I will never wear another pair again for longer than an hour. 

[Frank]

thanks for the feedback guys! gnars all around.

[LebowskisRug]

I found them to have lots of heel slip and they felt clunky. Reminded me of a stiffer, less narrow Fastbreak which is another shoe that disappointed me.

[chillclinton87]

sorry for the late reply...so i got the mids TTS and immediately ordered half size down too- both fit me good, i didn't get a chance to try on some of the lows so far. with mids it is easier to prevent heel slip since you can lace em up higher so i can only speak on that. they are wider than dunks in the forefoot though!

chances that you love/ hate them seems 50/50 so might as well try them when you can send them back i'd say!

i think these are meant to be used as chillers or travel shoes mostly, but they seem to be built with the possibility of skating in mind. the sole doesn't look like it's made for griptape tho and that mesh will probably go out quickly. they look decent.

Honestly, I went from old skools to these, they are so good for my feet and honestly they don’t feel so big, I have a few pairs right now

gr zahbas out on the vans site and prolly other sites. bummed that they’re another boring old-skool-but-not-quite but at least they’re making sorta tech cupsoles. hopefully this means they’re gonna make more fairlanes or reissue some older cupsole designs like the rowley xlts to keep up with demand for more cupsoles

[concerned_parent]

i think the biggest bummer about those is that they confirmed the embroidery is jupiter as part of "space themes" and not a bunch of bacon

that being said hey vans give us a high top on that sole construction and i'll consider buying it

Thing is they aren't even tech. It's the most basic of basic cupsoles. Check the slides.

Ignoring the sb Jordan 4 for a min I think this is about as tech as skateshoes are going to stay for a while. Whatever new cushion shit in a rubber cupsole. I prefer it like this as a midsole over the insole as the whole cushion style.
Kinda makes me think Reynolds was just done with vans either way

totally. When this shoe was first announced with the cushioned midsole, I was like, wait did Reynolds just say last week that Vans wasn't designing any cupsoles with midsole cushion? :chin-scratch emoji:

It's barely cushioned tbh. Thin like a 440 overall, kinda wild board feel but not thick feeling.

[CrimsonGhost]

Oh I'm happy Vans finally put a midsole into a cupsole again no doubt, I hope there's more to come like this.

I’d be keen to see the Crockett highs on this sole as a vans 440 alternative.

Lakai x Yeah right 20 anniversary

They brought the Staple back for a brief time a few years ago. That was one of the better shoes I ever skated. If these ones are the same, I would cop a few. And also the Telford colorway looks really nice.

Or maybe I watched Yeah Right a bit too often as a kid.

[Watson]

That Staple is an afront to the Staple.

[Frank]

lakai just has the worst colorways. every shoe looks like it's made for a kindergarten rave, with stupid neon laces and generally the weirdest choices for details and such. at the same time it's so boring, too. they could have made the models green with white laces, which might have looked good, instead we get their specialty, grey black shoes with bright laces and details that no one over 9 years old would wear.

[FROTHY]

Wow, that staple. I wonder if they considered calling it the Cairo Foster, or maybe the Flow, or Nyla.

100% Accurate




The other colorways look better.

I can’t see how to link it but Hours is Yours literally remade the Supra Cuban.






Why?

[FROTHY]

I can’t see how to link it but Hours is Yours literally remade the Supra Cuban.

Why?

Because their aesthetic is basically "low budget LA casual with classy inspo." and the little lace accent up top is easily transferred from a driver/moccasin type of shoe to a slip-on, which seems to check the box for them.
