Looks better than that Emerica Phocus crap

This shoe has an even more exaggerated flex sole than the one everyone was complaining about on the Phocus, and an even weirder looking toe cap, plus the dumb soccer folder over tongue. The Emerica hate is so delusional lmao.

This shoe ain't for me by any means but at least it looks designed and actual time and thought was put into it. The Emerica looks like a turd a child drew with a crayon and a factory just spit it out.

I would think the opposite. I think if brands was switched y’all would be saying the opposite. Neither are for me. But that slap kool aid group think is in effect here.

Also before it’s said yes I’m aware everyone has an opinion and all that

[MusclesMarinara]

I get everyone's criticism about the above Asics' shoe but are we forgetting it's made for skating in? Not as a lifestyle/chiller shoe to walk around in. And if it performs well while skating is that not a win? I wouldn't wear them regardless but c'mon.

the phocus looks like a potato compared to the asics if you saw them next to each other.

at the similar price point,
the asics may be ugly, but at least it won't be a waste of the consumers money as a functioning skate shoe

Man this shit is even goofier top down holy shit. Plus these things are $30 more than the Emericas.

[Fartknocker415]

 I think it looks kinda cool the tongue flap reminds me of baseball cleats also I appreciate the full lace coverage. They def eccentric tho

For what it's worth I think they were also designed and/or tested by vert/transition skaters so the tounge flap, rubber toe, hidden/off centre lacing make more sense when you think about people blowing thru the upper of the shoe doing kneeslides. (Prob not gonna change anyone's opinions on how they look tho)

[Atiba Applebum]

Really surprised to see how expensive all the ASICS shoes were.   The white gum ones are nice, but I don’t see what could possibly make them $115

[FatGuy92]

For folks in the Bay, Atlas has them in store. Going on their online shop on Monday

Damn $115 is steep for a shoe that seems to be a pretty basic cup. I just got 3 pairs of 1010s over the holiday week for $60 each so that sure doesn't help the Asics price point at all either.

Mis-typed - $105 (but that’s the black vulc looking shoe, which maybe makes less sense). 


Gel-Flexkee Pro: $135

Aaron Pro: $90

Japan Pro: $105

Vickka Pro: $90

[iw0]

$105 seems like such a weird number to set a price at
$135 is not a price i'd pay for those other shoes either, wow

$135 is way too steep.

[MusclesMarinara]

Agreed, Asics and NB are some of the best shoes I've worn in my life, not just skating and I'm still inclined to try them at some point. Just not at this time or price.

[Daydream]

Japan pro are the ones I’d try. But waiting out the $105 price point.

Gonna go break in these $34 fastbreaks..

[Grand Saber]

Have not skated the shoes just yet, but I tried on the Vickkas and the Japans at Atlas today. These are my initial thoughts of just walking around in the shoes:

The Vickkas are bit thinner but seemed liked it would be great for board feel. The rubber is super grippy and it seems almost good out of the box. The fit a bit snug, but not cramping to the foot and seems very pliable to my foot right away. They didn't have my size but even at half a size down I can tell I want this shoe for sure. The fit is TTS.

The Japan is more of a traditional cupsole feel, being thicker and a little more firm. However, this shoe is perfect for a person with a slightly wider foot. The toebox is a bit wider, but that is actually what I prefer more nowadays with my shoes. These shoes are just overall very comfortable and this is the shoe I decided on getting. This shoe is also TTS.


Vickka's seem to be the most popular shoe going right now, so for those who are waiting for the shops to put them online, might want to be quick when they do go up.

Emerica is selling slip on cups for nearly $100, there's almost no way Asics quality is worse and you get laces as a bonus.

Can’t wait until they’re $35 at Marshall’s

Vans Rowley XLT on the schedule for next year. Looks like four colorways in total.

Now all I need to be re-released from Vans are the Estilos.
