Looks like that one ugly adidas shoe but way uglier.

[close]

adidas st004?

[close]

He's obviously talking about the ones with the scrotum skin-textured rubber patch on the sides. The fugly ones everyone seems to like.

[close]

That’s the one

That whole 3st line is garbage. 1-3 all look like weird tech shoes just to say "hey look we are tech and perform" but then don't actually match the vibes they're trying to represent. They're trying to hard hahah.
I would 95% buy this Appleyard shoe over any of the 3st if they were the exact same price as these.

I agree with you, even though part of me think that they at least tried to offer something different. I'm currently skating the 3st 004 that I bought for cheap, and they seem to be durable so far and comfy, but the heel to toe drop is a bit much, it reminds me of the busenitz. I'm not a fan of the look or the outsole either, but they are functional and can understand why some people like it.

Not sure you talking about the right shoe, the 004 has nowhere the same feeling heel to toe drop as the busenitz.
Is there the boost piece on the heel?

IMHO it´s the best shoe out there right now, centering straps and simple looking but still not aesthetically my favorite and I see dreams of the dorado advs.
Obvious downside is the price tag.

excited to check these out, wonder how different they feel compared to the pro’s

very psyched for these

I was wondering when those where supposed to come out. My friend has a sample pair and they look really good, almost like a terrace shoe for skating. Really hyped to try them out!

Terrace shoe. Lol.

These are definitely very not ugly.

Might be the best job I've seen reinterpreting a "classic" skate shoe.

[Painted Baby]

OK so Terrace Shoe. The best definition I could find was related to Terrace Culture and referred basically to the cheap seats at a Football pitch. Ground level, on the sides, between the goals. Do I have that correct?

The terraces were the standing section of football (soccer) games, now not legal following the Hillsborough disaster. Basically it's just referring to the fits that 80's football fans wore. Adidas gazelles, stone Island jackets etc.

Sick shoe. Shitty graphic design on that ad.

Yeah i'm talking about the ones with the boost on the heel. It's not on par with the heel drop on busenitz, but still there is some heel drop that I don't like.

Are these a limited release like a lot of the other Busenitz special editions?
they definitely look more like the Spezial line Adidas has, having a more square toe and a very gazelle like profile.
I think these are a huge improvement, but I'm worried about the skate-ability since many of the "Vintage" Specizial shoes are thin and hard.

I actually don’t know if there will be more of them, but I’ll try to find out... the Toe shape didn’t change, neither the heel height. It’s the same tooling so you can’t really change that.
For those who were wondering, my friend told me they don’t have centering straps, neither a laceloop, at least on his sample, so I doubt they added it later. He says the tongue doesn’t really shift to the side tho. Probably because of being really thin with no padding and also short. Being long af is what makes the OG a tongue shift more than usual. Still, really hyped to try them out!

[wake and bacon]

so to be clear, the only differences are the tongue and the sockliner?

[oyolar]

Yeah, I’m really confused about what makes these so different...

[toque]

Originals were thin up front and then had way too much padding around the collar (for me) and it looks like they thinned that out a bit? I could never get into the busenitz but regular spezials are top 3 shoes of all time for me. These look nice but I can't do the 3 stripes these days for some reason

Yep, those are slimmer. The OG is pretty padded tbh.
Basically there’s a few things that changed upper wise; The tongue, the heel patch, the eyestay doesn’t overlap anymore, but also doesn’t have the recessed lace holes like the OG. The insole has that leather heel patch really vintage’esq. The stripes are textile I think, and also there was this rubber heel counter on the OG that’s missing on the Vintage. Basically It’s a more clean/slimmer version of the Busenitz pro.

[wake and bacon]

word up, thanks for the info skatan!

I always felt like my regular Busenitz were a little gimmicky because they had all the cosmetics of a soccer shoe but would be too puffy to actually be good for soccer. So, shout out to these for looking like they'd be a classy soccer shoe.

[Bubblegum Tate]

[adonainemo]

Is that an ollie patch on the sandal?

[COMMUNITYPACK]

20%

Still, it's good that everyone is donating to good causes these days.

Would like to see that stay in place and be a longterm change for all industries.

But I'm sure people will go back to making full-profit just as soon as they're able to.

Also, those Sci-Fi Fantasy shoes are all ugly as hell.

[Atiba Applebum]

so people want to wear those sandals because "8 year old Israeli boy going into the Dead Sea" is a new style touchstone?

[Bubblegum Tate]

[Crabby_Bastard]

Those look great but that's a whole lot of stitching right where I get the most ollie wear.

Just checked, there's at least 2 more colorways coming next season. So not a 1 single drop thing.

That’s the same lining from the Silas campus colorway that kind of ruined them.  Work a little better here, but not sure why it’s being reused.

The only upgrade the Buzzi needs is better grip, if they fixed that I’d never skate anything else.

[jamersonbass]

Agreed!

[FrozenIndustries]

For real, as long as it doesn't compromise how long the soles last. Are the ones with the gum-colored sole just as icy?

[os89]

Made me laugh. Its longer but couldnt post the whole thing. https://vans.com.cn/product/vans_x_sci_fi_fantasy_fa20
 

[Shuh]

These look fresh I'd probably cop 2 one to skate one to wear around

I didn't watch this yet but from that clip Sci-Fi Fantasy is less original than I thought.
This is kind of the first graphical representation we have right? Most of it is just the logo at this point. 
I personally like the 3D graphic thing but it's very Bronze. It does fit the image though. I'm torn.
