Man, all that needs to be said about Cariuma is that the guy they figured they should give their first pro shoe to was Mike V.

[rosemaryBB]

Okay but for real who the fuck is buying these things? Has anyone seen them in the wild? I know I've seen it asked before but I don't think I've ever seen a solid answer for this. Specifically looking at people can report from the suburbs or LA since I feel like if there was going to be a place you'd see them it'd be there.

Those look incredible and right up my alley.

I have to say, and that’s not to disrespect you or anyone who’s a fan of these, but these remind me 110% of Vans shoes in the late 90’s/early 00’s where they were trying to follow the puffy shoes trend and it wasn’t working out.

No worries at all, l but that's exactly why I like them haha.

[TwisT]

They should have gave a relavent younger dude a shoe. Why the fuck did they not let Jagger have the debut pro shoe?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

The grey version of the Vallely looks the best of the lot, that fucking logo though...
The black/ blue version looks like a budget vox homage LOL

[gaunting]

The Wino Slip Cups are still being released for Spring 22 as planned. We've got a Black/White and an all white dropping.

those are fucking sick! 🥶🤭

Fuck yeah, I have 2 pairs of Spanky colorway, and this one is right up my alley. Will be buying for sure.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

I know we as slap ask for a lot @EmericaTM, but if there was a vegan suede version of that slip on cup, I happily buy 10 pairs…

There's a group of skaters around 12-14yrs old that all wear the Catiba Pro models, they hit up one of my local parks from time to time (central Valley, CA), and one of the kids told me I needed to check out Cariuma because they're better than my Michelin Maranas...

The direction skateboarding is going in is fucked.

And the Vallely pro vs the Catiba Pro...aside from the toe cap, POSSIBLY a little bit bigger of an ollie panel, and the logo smaller...how is it a pro model? His pro shoe on Servant was better.

I've seen 2 pairs in the wild here in central jersey since they came out and that is it thank god

[KDP]

I've only seen one pair in London - and it was way out at a park in the suburbs.

The guy was mid-20s, getting in everyones way skating flat in the middle of the park and had them laces so choked tight...
But you could probably guess that already since he was wearing Cariumas.

How?

First off, I still can’t get over that fucking logo. It’s absolutely garish.

Secondly, why the hell is an irrelevant 51-year-old pro getting a shoe? Who the hell is lining up to buy anything with his name on it?

I REALLY wanted to, but they are the kind of kids that arent in skating for the long haul, they're the ones doing it for the hype of it atm, and when something else more popular and can make stupid IG edits to give them more "clout" comes along, they'll abandon skating not caring about it anymore. However I did have a really funny moment that I was able to humble one of them from acting really stupid to only really dumb, so it's a step in the right direction.

Edit:

Found them

Does anyone have pics of the Vans x Leica x Ray Barbee collection? Saw pictures of the back of the shoes but no full pics yet.

I wish the new Telfords were an exact replica of the originals rather than what they actually are. Just watched a little bit of fully flared again and the shoes look so much better than what they’ve been putting out now. Carrol 4 mids need to come back

Me too, I will say that after some time the new ones aren't as bad as i thought originally, but i would still prefer a traditional cup over the XLK sole. Its basically constructed like a cupsole that preforms like a vulc.

[oyolar]

Was able to get a pair of the Li-Ning Ellingtons so will report back once I’ve gotten them delivered. Might not skate them for a little bit but I’ll bump them up in the queue.

And mostly, in my experience, kids just don't give a shit what older dudes have to say... they're going to like what their friends and peers like. It's one thing if you're a mentor or they look up to you but if you're just some random older dude it'll probably fall on deaf ears, especially if they're not super into skating and just dipping their toes in because it's cool like you said

I agree for the most part. I usually dont try to get involved with telling them things unless what they're doing causes issues with others, especially about safety. Yesterday I caught an around 12yr old kid waxing EVERYTHING in the park, literally everything, to the point I ran my finger across the rail I wanted to skate and had a large layer of wax come off...and the kid proceeded to go work on his flatground. I confronted him and his response was "I have wax, things are suppose to be waxed, and I put on enough to make sure you slide good", eventually super dad came over to tell me how his kid was doing nothing wrong, and after quite the conversation they stormed away and I ended up cleaning up the mess, and it was too dark to skate anymore.

I just cant deal with kids like that, and especially the parents, and if the kids know better, understand better, and can do better, but choose not to...I cant help but step into the situation, especially seeing someone have a seizure and possibly permanent brain damage because of kids willingly acting stupid and the parents not taking any action to correct it.
