Intrigued by this pop cush change... not a fan of the ultra, wrong shape and sweaty/slippery for me but think that’s mostly the top fabric

[close]

Same , apparently they also have a new rubber formula for the sole, might just be marketing though

[close]

is there some info/source for this new tech and change? Just see it switching over in some models on the vans site.

[close]

I noticed they the newer soles look more orange, which may be closer to the 'Classics' sole and I find grippier.
Half the Vans Pros ruin my feet now, so I'm hoping the Pop Cush help them fit better then they have in the last few years.

I have been skating the AA's for a few weeks now with the pop cush, honestly I won't skate anything else now. Vans nailed it with these, if you weren't a fan of ultra cush I highly recommend trying a shoe with pop cush cause they skate and feel completely different.

The only thing I have skated that can closely compare to it is the Nike SB insoles that are in the Blazers minus the annoying air pocket deal that is on the heel. Also pop cush has better heel and arch support than the Nike insoles.

I don't know what it was with the Ultra Cush but my toe would go numb and I felt like I was walking on a fucking trampoline.

Yeah co-signed on the Ultracush toe thing. Shoe felt fine upon trying on but when I’d wear em my toes would go sore or numb like they were too tight.
Loving the blazer low GT so I am intrigued plus more arch support is a win.

Is it just those three color ways for the AAs? I was hoping for those red ones he’s been wearing.

Shoes then> shoes now


I’m tired of DC, nike and Adidas has gone super down hill, we can’t even get normal dunks or blazers to skate without having to do a stupid raffle now.

Tbh, I rewatched the Tyler Bledsoe Etnies part for his shoe back then, and was like “damn even Etnies was cool back then”.

[close]

i suggest you take a look at the reseller market.

I assume the hype is astroturfed and you can pick up dunks and shit at retail or below a couple months after release?

answered my own question-

Vans' PopCush insoles snap back and won't pack! This proprietary foam compound was meticulously tuned and tested for impact protection, superior cushioning, and custom energy return. This upgraded foam performs better than Vans' UltraCush™ compound for all types of skating so you can skate longer and go harder than ever before.

[jay_nev]

Clean. I’ve been liking the g6 insole on the slips but not sure I love the rubber Ollie piece

[Mystical Leader]

What's up with all the ollie guards? I thought that trend died like three years ago.. Usually it just breaks the silhouette like in the otherwise clean Emerica shoe..

Those Brown AA vans might be mine when they drop.. I kinda wish they had dropped like 2009 or so but now is as good as a time as ever..

[TwisT]

looks like im buying a pair of DVS is 2020

Damn, I’m into those.

Huh? They both have Ollie guards. I mean I’m with you Ollie guards are not for me but why is one okay and one not?

[Deekay]

Woah, those DVS kicks are great.

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

Those look like crap. If you like them, good for you.

[RossDailey]

Woah, those DVS kicks are great.

About the only good thing w/ those DVS's are the functional heel tab... the rest of the shoe can go die in a fire.

When do these come out again?

The  brown ones don't have a ollie guard?

Wow, more like DVe`S. I had no idea they were still a company. Looks like an eS ripoff if you ask me.

Also this is a limited release. Navy and black will be at syndicate vans dealers.
Brown is maybe fa store only? Or lotties too. Will be tough to get for sure.

[jay_nev]

brown looks like suede toe versus canvas + rubber ollie guard for black/blue? Brown looking better and better

Just found this out too, my local can’t even get them in any color. My other homie’s (who is a vans rep) can only get the black ones...

Never thought I'd see people on the Slap boards hyping up DVS in 2020.

This news about the AAs is heart wrenching. I had the slips and was planning on getting brown and blues. Gotta figure out how to make it happen. At least one of the colorways.

[GAY]

Vans sucks. Then they make an interesting shoe for once and SLAP goes wild. Then they make it limited release for Fairfax fuccbois only. Way to go Vans.

[Bizarro Jerry]

God this page sucks.
