Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

They remind me of the vans Bucky lasek. It’s the toe cap and heel support

Kohls Vans are so in

Kohls Vans are so in

You know what, after the Rowan was based off the bear cat and skated well. I’m even tempted to skate some Vans Milton or any other Kohl’s sales specials

if you had of told me even 5 years ago that braille would be making shoes that look better than what vans designers could come up with 2023, I would have laughed in your face! Here we are though in this weird sliders-style alternative universe ...

I think the Braille shoes all look ugly and home made (not using that affectionately either). Even the dunk-a-like one.

The sole on the dunk looking one looks like the same quality and shape that the super flimsy XLK sole Lakai used on the first runs of Telford and the Brighton. If so, that sole is dog shit

and even though, I'd still rock the braille over that dumpster fire of a vans shoe...

Zahba mid is $100 retail, obviously you
Will be able to score on sale pretty quick after the release but in person they just don’t look great.
And the fit of the zahba low is awful so these can’t be much of an upgrade.

The Zahba low fits my feet perfectly and skates really well. I am just not a fan of how they look or I would easily buy another pair.

[Turtle Boy]

WTF? i don't get it when brands change the design that much between the high and the low. Appart from the sole, these have nothing to do with the Zahba lows

Also this is spot on:

those Zhaba mids look like they could compliment the Cardiel Estilo Tres in the mid 2000’s lineup. We’d be in business if they brought back the Dr. T high tops

exactly what I said in the vans thread. Kept getting told otherwise though surprisingly, with LL and tyshawn as examples of low/mid variations.

[MusclesMarinara]

Vans spends all this money for a new shoe that no one's gonna buy, when all they have to do is sole swap a half cab.

[LebowskisRug]

Someone once posted a mock-up of a Half Cab with a normal Waffle Cup and with an AVE sole and both of those looked so much better than the Zahba Mid. There are too many panels and the material choices make the shoe look chunkier than it needs to and shoe ends up looking like the mid 00's mid/high top mall shoes that Vans, Osiris, Supra, etc were making.

[FROTHY]

That shoe would do well with toddlers, the dunkalike demographic, and Van Wastell fans in their 30s... pretty much everyone.

[rosemaryBB]

I was always kind of hoping they would make a mid of the AVE shoe, love that shoe and it would look nice as a techy, less padded mid

[IanBZHD]

Beatrice and Rowan have been skating a dark green pair with a black sole that will probably change everyone's mind on the Zahbah Mid. I'm not gonna go find a picture cuz somebody else probably knows more than me.

These look interesting.
Anybody know what they are??

Another Vans model with a black sole will certainly not change my mind but will solidify they have completely lost touch with whatever sells. Enough with the black soles!

I will not be buying those

bummer, rip vans i guess, you had a good run, but no sale here, time to pack it up.

[close]

that’s a little harsh. Just sharing my thoughts (and wallet).. more interested in the Rowan 2 rollout!

[close]

aw shit, it wasn't meant to come as mean, just as a lame joke. apologies. i also like the rowan 2 more than these actually.

I'll be mean about it.

I'm not going to buy these.

they look completely awful, everything from the paneling to the colorways of this shoe.

They look awful & I'm glad I've given up wearing Vans before this dumb fuckery hit the shelves.

The Berle was based off the BearCat, not the Rowans.

These are way better. I don't even like black soles but here it works really well for some reason. I could consider these if I needed new shoes.

Those look like different shoes

[YungJugg]

good to see Dilo and Shanahan getting pro models, some well deserving Johns.

[Mean salto]

Not sure if Japan only but something for those who like the thick soles

[TheLowerBack]

Definitely different shoes in those pics. The bottom ones do look clean af.

Damn those look pretty nice. I don’t really care for all black shoes but they look good.

 Has anyone skate hours is yours? The tread looks like it would go bald quick but idk if that’s true
