ohh mama those vans carrolls, i was hoping vans would come out with more colorways after that boys of summer abomination

bryan herman’s company is really called “hours is yours”? i thought it was called hours and that was the tagline, but the official name is that lame pun?

[close]

I distinctly remember Herm and Ellington teaming up on this shoe project at the very beginning and something tells me they had some creative differences because now Erik's doing shit with HRS (Human Recreational Services but obv still reads like Hours) and Herm's doing Hours is Yours. fucking strange.

[close]

Good point! I recall that as well, but I think Herman always wanted to do actual skate shoes with his creative footwear business venture (whatever it looked like to him back then). Whereas, Ellington wanted to bridge the gap from skate to formal footwear via the loafer stuff before dipping backin with Li Ning.

I wonder who had the whole HRS/Hours idea first. Don't remember if that was ever posted on here

Lucien Clarke & Rory Milanes were involved as well, and I'm pretty sure they dipped right after it launched.

Lucien Clarke & Rory Milanes were involved as well, and I'm pretty sure they dipped right after it launched.

From Sept. 2018: "HRS is a new label by Erik Ellington and Dennis Martin... Human Recreational Services is supported by a team of professional skateboarders including Lucien Clarke, Rory Milanes, Keith Hardy, and Bryan Herman. These individuals will be the face of HRS and contribute creatively to the concept."
If you need a reason they probably dipped, it's likely because Lucien got on LV. Plus they're charging over $300 for cheap Dominican-made shoes. There isn't a single photo of Lucien and Rory on their insta. Just Ali Boulala.

[oyolar]

I think they dropped off when it became clear that HRS was going to be solely a fashion/lifestyle brand.

EDIT: “They” meaning everyone except Ellington. EE has raked in interviews about how HRS was meant to do both skate shoes and luxury chillers but he decided to just focus on the luxury side as he was trying to develop the brand early on. They did release a “luxury” skateable shoe early on (I think it was the second shoe they ever released) that both Ellington and Herman had footage on their IGs skating very early in the brand (and the Mongoose looks skateable), but it seems clear that Ellington decided to take the brand in a different direction.

I have a pair of the early release Del Rays in oxblood that Ellington actually sent me after I DMed HRS on IG after seeing they were sold out on the site. This was when they were like half the price they are now and he was very cool and it seemed like he was really running it out of his garage and I appreciated the effort so I’m happy to support EE. HRS is clearly not a skate shoe brand but I personally like a lot of what they make.

usually i don't mind the N but it ruins this shoe. if they made it without the n, all suede with the purple accents it would look much cooler

Looks like the puma skate suede nitro

They selling them here in some skate shops fast times , beyond,  UPS, and plenty of other sites

I think the regular suede, baskets, clydes whatever else look much better ..

Also on the Puma site. Was looking up what some of the models you mentioned look like, and the shoe popped up.

Does anyone think that Puma knows that they can’t just make skate shoes without someone’s name behind it? No one is going to give a fuck until they have a team

I'd rather wear some $40 regular Suedes from Marshalls. The ollie patch is ugly. It looks like these are vulcanized.

[TwisT]

other colorways don't have the patch detail, but It seems they want to call attention, that this is something different.

I’m not an NB Stan by any means but these are pretty sick, I’m a big fan of skate shoes that look like hiking boots. I think the toe cap could be a either a little higher (kinda like the Gilbert 1s) or done away with completely to make them more skateable..

How does Japan even have the numbers to support all these companies? Yes I know Japan has a large population but not that many skaters really and gotta think the average non skaters are still not all buying enough skate shoes to make it worth it.

A little too pricey for me to skate in but I honestly love the look of these. I’d consider them for a pair of skate shoes to just wear as normal shoes. I’m low key hoping they don’t sell well and I can find a pair somewhere on sale.

[Curbyourenthusiasm]

Those 440 trail are like 80 or 90 bucks at most skate shops right now.

[Atiba Applebum]

Gorecki has a (to put it in 00s Emerica terms) Brown Bling Bling pair of Vans MCs on his IG stories.   I WILL PAY WHATEVER FOR THESE!!!!! But I really hope they are upcoming GR

[Watson]

Now the big question is, who's signature is on the tongue?

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

“Nine Club”

[Atiba Applebum]

Don’t put that evil on them.    But honestly, I’d still wear them if the branding was that minimal.   Second word isn’t “club” so I feel safe.    Almost looks like it says “Nino Tyson”

[Atiba Applebum]

it's especially awesome (to me) because it's the same colorway as the Tony Ferguson fashion sneaker version, that I wanted but couldn't justify the price tag (maybe close to 300...).  He's currently got a fancy version of the Aries (Axion Guy 2) if anyone is looking to up their shoe

Could maybe say "ninety six"

[Atiba Applebum]

Oooh @Mean salto i def buy the ninety part.   I don’t quite see the rest of the word(s) but the Rone shoe  is called the Ninety Four, so you could be onto something (and honestly would make a lot more sense than having Carrolls signature on the shoe)

Yeah I zoomed in on the right foot in the top picture and looks like a short word ending in X but could be a Y or just a crease lol
Also I just assumed the shoe came out in 96 as it's worn in mouse and Carroll had a DC in 97

I think you're right

On the left shoe you can kind of see an S and on the right you see an X. "Ninety Six" would make sense.
Didn't his shoe come out then? And in 1998 he switched to DC?

I could be off here though ...

Anyway, I'm buying every colorway. Twice.

I praying they'll have those Olive Tan ones as well.

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

And let's be honest, those need timberland laces!

Consulting my big Made for Skate skate shoe  book - they did come out in 96 (why the Rones are called 94 I’ll never know).   Also fun fact, Lakai Telfords are named after the designer Walter Telford


(Also, gotta love that Carroll dipped out on a company releasing his pro model, but had the nerve to be mad at MJ.   At least Vans had the sense to keep selling the shoe until his DC one came out)

Besides the point really but it's kinda funny lakai named a shoe after the designer of Carroll's vans but never tried to remake the shoe themselves. I'm pretty sure in 06 Mike Carroll had a vulc version of his 4th shoe (that was also very similar to the Telford and looked pretty much the same as the TNT 2 that was out at the time too) would have been a perfect time for them to of done a version Carroll's vans shoe again. Not like they're totally against remaking shoes either as not long after Rick had a shoe similar to his DC model come out.

[eSK3]

Vans is calling it the “Ninety Five”
