Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

[mynameisnotjeff]

Liked the look of the last one piece authentic but those full cabs look cool. I’ll try to swoop up on a pair if they’re not crazy expensive

Not worth losing your job over dude, think happy thoughts and leave be

[close]

I ain’t losing my job lol, but you’re right. Felt like talking to an anti-vaxer. Absolutely not worth it.

I guess you guys learnt a thing or two about footwear at least   

So I took the right shoe of each pair apart and the soles  look identical but the measurements are off and there is different information on the inside of both. Possibly the same mold and the variations in the information could be from where they were made and possibly even what kinda rubber was used because they feel different to the touch and the classic is thicker in some areas. All in all they are different, maybe not drastically but different

Also I’m not coming at skatan, he’s coming at me with no real research on the topic. He hasn’t owned or skated a pair and we just gotta take his word because he says so. Very interesting
I’m just coming to a thread and giving my two cents on what I’ve experienced and what others have experienced in the actual use of the product.

Just take the goddamn wallet and let's move on, Patrick.

I don’t want your wallet, Billy

Look, I have a million pair of Adidas and I love them all (except for the City Cups, I never felt right in those) so what I am saying is send me some Gazelle ADV's in 11.5 please.

[Bubblegum Tate]

[Crap]

I'm not going to buy them, and I know Slap is going to clown, but those Brighton Zeuner Wayvees are kinda cool to me. It's a silly and ugly shoe design overall, so the colours and the little flowers at least show a self-awareness about that.

[lamfordie]

I fuck with the shoes. Just switch out the laces and theyll be sick to skate. I also did the polo and pants

Are these new AVEs?   

[close]

I’m pretty sure those are the standard AVE Pros.

A thousand percent a different shoe, are ya’ll blind or regular.
They ain’t these either;  https://www.vans.ca/en-ca/shoes-c00081/evdnt-ultimatewaffle-pvn0a5dy76kl

Imagine trying to come at skatan about adidas .
Maybe you haven’t been here long enough but the dude is a talented ass shoe designer who knows his shit . I actually have a pair of shoes he designed and we talk pretty regular about shoe production and stuff . The man is serious about his craft and educates everyone he talks to about it in a way that makes you feel like you too work at Adidas . Which clearly this other dude doesn’t.

[close]

Pretty classic internet debate imo, ”I know things has to be this way b/c I feel so vs. cold facts” 

[close]

I’ve actually done the research, have you? Buy both pairs and compare yourself. I’m not the only dude who is saying that there is a difference

Have you ever have two pairs of same shoe, other is fresh from the shelve and the other is from the discount bin ie. few years old? Shoes can feel a lot different as rubber tend to harden up by uv-radiation and shit. Have you ever thought about that factor why your shoes might feel different? Can you tell me what is your research, other than feel? Have you tested your soles with proper tools, I don’t trust you or your ”other dudes”, I wanna see some numbers and technical shit. I am 100% sure Skatan knows his shit as other people has pointed out

This! Also sometimes the colour of the outsole has an impact on the hardness of the sole, because the pigments can lightly alter the technical characteristics of the rubber. Like the formula is 99,9% the same but the pigments can make the rubber act slightly different.

Wierd how there was no leaks or even official announcement, that I could find, from Element. They're just there and released.

They’re both new bought this year from Adidas. You don’t trust me but you trust someone who doesn’t even own and hasn’t skated a pair. Ive taken the shoes a part, measured them, they don’t have the same information on them, and they are obvious differences in the rubber but that doesn’t matter i guess. I’ve skated countless different pairs of shells and I have the shoes in my hand irl, but the screen can’t lie…crazy. Buy both pair and compare yourself

I love how I came on here to share my experience with a product only to be attacked. skatan saying he’s triggered yet he’s calling me all kinds of names basically bullying me. If you don’t agree then move on. Y’all mean for no reason

That’s because they never fully stopped making shoes. It’s just been part of their clothing line. Like how quik and volcom also make shoes.

You’re just mad cause you’re not the only dude in here who works for Adidas and your ego can’t handle it. The shoes were not made by the same mold cause they have different information on them meaning they were made by a different mold. You’re wrong and it’s ok. Move on and focus on designing and I’ll focus on logistics, that’s what adidas is paying us to do.

Wish they would have gone with a coloured jazz stripe instead of all white on those Mid Skools, but I like the silhouette. I hope they make those a regular feature in the lineup.
