that's an insane combination of previous skate shoes all in one

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

Unfortunately, this isn't accurate. Those 2 color ways are our carryover colorways each season which we don't tend to mark down versus a typical seasonal only colorway. Secondly, we're just now receiving Spring 2022 products which means any mark downs won't happen on Spring products until Fall products deliver so we're looking at at least several months. But like I mentioned, the carryovers don't get discounted.

To answer OP's question, the answer is yes. I have yet to hear a single complaint regarding any of the Pour-In G6 models. I personally it's the best technology we have and if you want a slip but hate vulcs and want to have cushion and support then the Slip Cup is definitely the one.

When do these drop?

It appears they're already sold out on the Defcon site.

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.

Big alt right militia vibes from that company, the cryptic nature of what it even is and lack of transparency is sketchy af to me

Thicker and stickier than a 5-dollar Mississippi lap dance

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.

Damn this is exactly me. I would always end up skating my original ridgemonts as a kid and continue to always end up skating the slip ons I buy to just walk around in so I slightly more structured one sounds like exactly what I’m looking for . Plus it doesn’t hurt emerica makes the only slip on that looks good and isn’t a vans shoe.

Hours is Yours is re-releasing herms gcode from emerica
Basically the same silhouette, just with a vulc sole and a couple more lines

[TwisT]

Lakai is doing so well recently, but this back and forth “collab” hopping their doing with DC is really not the move.

DC did Paterson last year. Lakai did Black Sabbath last year.

I only liked the old skool

These shits look like some “blue lives matter , don’t tread on me all the while I’m the one doing the treading” shit

[Bizarro Jerry]

I thought the same thing when I saw those. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those.

[SchizophrenicFatBoy]

Those look like shoes Kyle Rittenhouse would wear.

My locals had them for a bit.   Didn’t realize they were scarce and was able to flip them on eBay for a little profit

(I’d go a half size down.)

Oh yeah I'm getting these!  I love Sambas and love how clean those look. They were really limited/F&F the first time they dropped... Some people on the higher racks in the office wear these all the time and I was always jealous that I couldn't get my hands on them.

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

[close]

Maybe the Spanky G6?

Yeah. It’s surprisingly stable. I haven’t skated them but probably the Gamma with the G6 sole as well.

Yeah, that's gonna be a naw from me dawg.

In better Vans news, looks like there's another Half Cab collab with Uprise Skateshop dropping this Friday. From the teaser images it looks like it may be two colorways, one all black and one tan.
