Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

[Mbrimson88]

I wonder if any of the vans team will be skating in the varix ever. Curious if like 90s tech shoe style will be popular for real or not

I seem to recall Tyson Peterson wearing some for a minute, but cannot find the footage on his Instagram or anywhere.

[Crap]

I think the Varix is a 'lifestyle' shoe, and not part of the skate line? I remember seeing it at Foot Locker or something when it came out. Makes sense for the vibe of a Boys Of Summer collab, but that's probably why no one on the team wears it regularly.

I think it's kind of cool how they sometimes mix in a non-skate shoe with a skate collab, like when they did those Sci-Fi Fantasy sandals. Some skate brand is definitely going to put their name on one of those new Crocs-style rubber slip-ons.

No shoe with images/text on the foxing tape has ever looked good in the history of time.

@EmericaTM I've seen a couple shops have these posted up and saw that the collar is more padded and back has different stitching than the ones in your guys IG post. Is this new or fakes? Or are the pics you guys have posted up of samples?

4th pic in this IG post for reference. You can see the collar and tongue seem to have a bit more padding. And a less dress shoe type stitching.

Emerica IG post you can see the collar and tongue have minimal padding, like all the other Spanky G6's released.

don't worry, the blacks go harder than those barney shoes

[lemonchicken91]

if they were a more red maroon...
Those kyle walkers I got in maroon get a lot of compliments, despite being average shoes.
would love those FC Barca colored dunks but good luck lol

The ones shops are getting are the production versions. For this one color way, that rear pinch stitching was removed.

OH that's awesome, I actually think these look better with the extra padding so good to know.

It’s literally called the Skate Varix.

Yeah but they also included AVE’s fourth and fifth pro models, which were total mall shoes, in the skate lines but did no promotion for them among skate media because no one would have bought them and they weren’t really marketed to skaters. Granted, styles and the market are different now but just because something is in the skate line doesn’t mean it’s intended to be skated.

what were those again?

i kinda liked a.v.eras or what they were called. i think ave was still on dc when dc had a shoe with an era-esque toecap, gillette skates them in inhabitants, and then switched and vans made the a.v.e era that was like a thick era.

sorry i just noticed i rambled about like a drunk person. everybody jus continue what you're doing.

It was good, yes, even though I normally don’t like super low collars like it had. They felt great.
Also miss the AVE Classics...

as far as a simple-ish cupsole, the rowley squares were awesome and actually lasted a while. but one of my favorites I personally would love to have pairs of again, were the rowley slims. The "pleased to meet you" tour video got me so hyped to go and buy several pairs of them, especially with Cerezini at the time skating them as well.

Fuck yes the rowley slims were the best, I had the all brown geoff skates in really sorry, I been looking that shoe ever since. I also had the tnt 1 and 3 and the no skool, that era of vans cupsoles were kinda unnecessary puffy but they all skated pretty well.
