I wouldn't mind skating a good pair of airwalks. I decided to see what the current offering was. Then Decided to share it, because I new you all would be hyped on it

Key word is "good"

I think they have a few non-offensive shoes, but I'm assuming the quality isn't that great. 

ooooof looks like these are right out of the lakai cambridge factory

Those grey and gum ones are a straight copy of the lakai cambridge lol, except they somehow made it even uglier looking

[DCLOVE]

Does anyone have a reason behind them using the 3D ultra Cush in these over pop Cush? I thought they either discontinued it years ago or only used it in I wanna say the chima 2? Is it Better than pop Cush in these?

[bbk]

It was Grosso's preferred insole.

[Idk]

It was Grosso's preferred insole.

that insole ruled. TNT 5 days.

[JugeL]

3D felt good, better than popcush for sure

[Painted Baby]

I think the 3D was totally stinko. Packed out into no give bullshit really quickly for me.

Goddamn this thread never ceases to amaze me. Just because the soles are gum and have heel and toe bumpers does not mean these look similar at all.

Lmao look at them, you cant tell me that they dont look similar

[bongboarder420]

Anyone know when they come out? I'm interested to see these in person! I like a good thin high top. Loved skating Cons CTAS Pro's a few years ago but don't love the giant white toecap and overall Hot Topic aesthetic of Chucks. And the Vans Authentic High's aren't the easiest to find. Lizzie's shoe might be a win for me.

a local shop already got them in, so probably releasing pretty soon. looks like this shop only got in small sizes

[TwisT]

All vans are unisex, it’s just a matter of if they release them in larger sizes. The Fabiano skate high, Lizzie skate high came in larger size or atleast my size, 11.

I think the Cher shoe did too.

[MusclesMarinara]

Pretty sure the Lizzie shoe is molded for smaller feet. Not knocking it but seems more like a ladies shoe more than anything. Us guys with hobbit feet might have to sit this one out.

I literally just told you that the only thing that makes them look similar is the sole (and even the sole looks noticeably more stiff and cheap on the Airwalk) and I guess the wavy lacing panel and some toe panel stitching (which isn't unique to the Cambridge). In no way are they a "straight copy" like you said.

As stated before, Grosso intended them to have the 3d ultra cush for his run.

I am currently skating a pair & kept the 3d's in, so that I could skate them as intended.

However, I did recently swap the 3d's out for a set of pop cush recently... and it feels more to my personal preferences.

Pro Tip - save your old insoles so that you can make adjustments as you see fit.

Interesting... cool to see more photos of it though. Looks like it DOES have a new sole design? Hopefully they come in full unisex sizing.

Looks like the sole of the Kyle Walker 2s.

[Crap]

I guess the Lizzie is a cupsole with some kind of vulc-style foxing tape added on? Kinda looks like a Sk8 Hi MTE.

My guy you need glasses, the sole, the hell tab, the heel panel, the wavy part of the eyelets, canvas sides, the toe panel, and the stitching on the toe look similar. They 100% took the cambridge and modified it to look less "premium", I dont believe theres a chance that two designers just happened to come up with these shoes without having seen the other shoes. I wasnt the only person that said they look similar lol

[oyolar]

Yeah. And you’re both wrong. I can see how it might remind you of the Cambridge but saying something reminds you of something doesn’t mean they’re exactly the same.

[Made In China]

All this talk about Lizzie's new shoe got me really hoping Vans doesn't discontinue the Crockett Highs so that the Lizzie's can replace them. I think that was thrown out as a possibility when pictures first leaked? If that ever happens I'm stocking the fuck up.

[MikeX]

Yeah. And you’re both wrong. I can see how it might remind you of the Cambridge but saying something reminds you of something doesn’t mean they’re exactly the same.

Ok I exaggerated when I said "exactly the same", but its obvious that the airwalk shoe borrowed so many design elements from the cambridge, that why it looks similar

[Watson]

Can't believe in 2022 people are arguing whether a department store Airwalk knocked off a Lakai or not.

Looks like they got a built in cropping guide

Thats actually the standard stitching on normal one star mids.

It should be alot more comfortable and easier to flick than other Cons one star mids. I wanted to like the pairs I had but the mid ankle area was always stupid stiff and hard to flick with.

I was referring to the Mandy’s on the next slide over , didn’t realize the Instagram link would go straight to the first pic.

[twic3]

oof my bad. That a interesting small detail but at the same time wouldn't the converse star patch on the other side be in the way of cutting it?

[Atiba Applebum]

Eyeballing it, looks like the Jack Purcell mid with a different toe cap

[flintstagram]

I love the Pour In G6. I plan on getting a pair or 2 of the Julian Davidson Gammas.

Why don’t all the Gamma’s have the Pour In G6? Is it because of the price point?

This. 1000x this. G6 cupsoles are the best. Make me buy all of the shoes, emerica.

EmericaTM, would we ever see a reissue of the Reynolds 1 or 2, or perhaps the Ellington/Vette?

[close]

Not as of this moment. All of those shoes have different molds and would require opening up a completely new mold let alone several and with opening a new mold, you end up spending tens of thousands of dollars doing so and then have to sell a ton of pairs of that one shoe just to break even let alone profit. It's a lot more challenging than people realize and then doing so with a past team rider's pro model makes it even more challenging.

[close]

So if that’s the case, let’s not make vulc tilts or gammas without the G6 sole, let’s make what the people are asking for, so you guys are start seeing the money and we start skating Emerica again!

I get it’s a difficult process but let’s be honest, ain’t no buddy trying to buy peach colored shoes with black soles, that’s why most of your shoes on site are like thirty bucks, we want Emerica to thrive, not sink, bring back what we grew up on or atleast give us something we can work with! And if you can’t…than just bring back the figgy one..

Surprisingly enough, some of the shoes you're talking about actually sold out immediately to where we had to remake similar color ways. For the record, most of the shoes that tend to be on sale are because they're from past seasons as we have all Holiday and Spring dropping right now. But I hear ya. Over the next few months there will be something for every skater from the KSL having a bit more padding to a pour-in G6 slip cup to even still having other shoes such as the Tilt, Gamma, Pillar, Omen Hi all of which have their own benefits. We do have the Figueroa coming out in 3 color ways next season as well.

We got some more G6 cups coming soon including some new pro models with it too.

Well the Gamma is on the Formula G sole which was on the Figgy Dose which is really good and yeah pricing is a factor. Plus, the Gamma G6 was something designed by Julian as he wanted his color way to be different and had always loved shoes that have the pour-in midsole. Happy to say that another Gamma G6 color way with Julian is already in the works.
