It's really funny how that shoe is the prank but this one is genuine.

I wonder how many people are actually calling shops that stock eS about this, not realizing that today is April Fool's :v

Been asked quite a bit regarding the Wino Slip Cup. The white color way just came in and black should be arriving in the next week and then will be shipped out to skate shops.

Stoked you guys didn't cheap out by putting a random cupsole on these baddies. The G6 sole is a great product.

I agree!!! G6 is such a solid cupsole - sturdy, grippy, but surprisingly responsive/flexible when you need it. I'm also happy KSL G6 is solid substitute for the Reynolds G6!

The only thing we are missing is a G6 mid model! @EmericaTM throwing some Christmas wishlist ideas out there

Wino cup G6 mid (use the wino G6 vulc upper?)
Pillar cup G6
Omen Hi cup G6
Spanky Mid G6
Tilt Mid cup G6
Hsu Mid x The Reynolds (mashup/inspiration) cup G6

For now, I'll enjoy the available G6 cup models !

A mid with the pour in sounds perfect. I have a pair of the Reynolds mid that I just got off of eBay, but I don’t really like them because they have no where near the amount of rubber in the flicking area around the toe as the new g6 cupsole. I’m currently skating the spanky g6 white leather and I have another pair of the whites coming up next

Were these designed for humans?

people nostalgic for the soca i guess

I was kinda okay with this show until seeing this photo. Look at the back of it, what’s up with that? Who’s heel/Achilles were these designed to fit??

[close]

My best guess is Simon Bannerot’s.

That shoe has more forward lean than a pair of snowboard boots.

I could never pull a shoe like this off and I wish the toe was all chocolate brown and rounded like their Cambridge shoe, but I guess I’m in the minority because I low key like this shoe for whatever reason.

Noooooo haha I just got some normal winos in the mail cause I got impatient. Haha. Stoked to cop the cup after these are toast. Wino is the best slip on. The cup just makes it better.

I might pull the trigger on a KSL this weekend if I can find a shop in my area.   @EmericaTM or anyone - fit TTS?

I just got my black Wino Slip Cups (I'm in the UK) and KSL G6 in white, they're both so good. The Slip Cup really hugs the foot.
Can't wait for the restock of the black/white Spanky G6, too.

There are weird sneaker heads that are even bigger nerd virgins than the Nike ones don’t collect any and every rare Vans and then post them for sale for insane prices and never sell them.

Fuck yes!!! I can't wait until my next paycheck so I can order 2 or 3 pairs. I love my navy ones.

Kind of bummed. Wanted to skate ‘em. I looked on eBay and the prices are egregious.

[LebowskisRug]

Are the slip cups worth a full $80? Like does it actually have enough structure to be supportive?

Just wait, it’ll be on sale in a few weeks, seems like Emerica is always quick to mark prices down

[FuzzGNU]

I gotta say, the Emerica KSL G6 is my favorite skate shoe I've ever skated. I'm sure I've mostly skated bad shoes, but these have got no complaint from me so far.

Light but padded. Flexible but sturdy. I feel very safe in them. Their sturdiness sort of feels like it helps propel my pushes and pops a bit more compared to how vulcs kind of smoosh rather than push back.

I'll definitely be getting these again if they're still around when I get my next pair.

[oyolar]

They are 100% supportive and the cupsole makes the upper more structured. The upper is thinner than a multi-paneled upper but if a slip-on upper like the Owen is ok for you and you just think "I wish I had a thicker sole," then you're golden. It's a significant difference between people who have felt that soles are the only reason you skate anything other than slip-ons, but if you need more ankle support or more when it comes to sidewalls, these might not be the shoe for you.

If you DO need more ankle support (but a similar shoe) what would you recommend?

The whole imagery of Defcon -war, artillery and other military paraphernalia- is just gross. This shit has zero place in skateboarding. What a bummer to see Vans, other companies, and skaters seemingly back it through collaborations or repping it.
