Really surprised to hear that everyone hates the Baker 3 era Accels. My absolute favorite shoes growing up were my black/camo potato Accels and everyone I knew skated them until Dunks (and then vulcs) got big.

Did you grow up in Nevada or the Midwest? I could see these being popular there.

I could see these ones rockin in Kansas.

Full view of the Fucking Awesome half cabs.. do yourself a favor and read the comments section hahaha. despite that, I think they look alright, way better than the Hockey x Vans collection that just dropped.

I broke my ankle in the baker 3 era wear the accels with the strap (unstrapped of course).  Still have the plate and screws in the ankle to remind me.  It was a sick like green, orange, and yellow ish wheat color way if I remember correctly

No Comply has the Artos...

...and now I do too. Slimmer tongue and collar padding than the accel OG (but still a good amount of both), and the toe is pointier than the accel OG. Some really cool screengrabs from his Menikmati part on the insole too.

Arto was always my favorite skater, and I really wanted the black/gum version of his signature eS shoe, but it just never happened for me. I was happy to take my second chance on this reissue: I'm not fully stoked on the colorway, but it might grow on me. I also learned that Arto hated the original version of his signature eS shoe (especially the airbag in the heel), and that's why he never skated in them. This reissue seems to be a lot closer to what he wanted in the first place (accel sole, better ventilated upper, and his name on it).

Sole Tech got me to bite twice this month on updated reissues (this one, and the Emerica OG-1). Call it the MJ-1, or the OG-1, but it's the Tiltmode Army Boot to me. Louie and Marc skated the hell out of those in "Man Down". Let Emerica TM know I'll have money ready for that black/yellow colorway whenever that happens, and the Heretic reissue.

damn how’d you find out so fast! And what’s up with them only having 9-10.5? Oh well… I don’t have $100 to blow anyways… enjoy them ✌️

I'm lucky to have a friend who works there and also knows my shoe size. He let me know those arrived, and I stopped by after work. As far as their current offering of limited sizes go, they only received about half of their shipment. I'd imagine when the other half shows up, they'll have more sizes, and maybe a few more pairs in the sizes that are currently showing up as sold out.

Ah, I suspected a shop hookup that’s awesome. I was so dead set on getting them months ago when they were getting leaked… but now I’ve spent all my Christmas and birthday money… and am good on shoes for a good long while.

Good looking shoes 👍

FA is coming up on that up on that 10 year mark in rough shape. Only brands like ripndip should get clowned in the comments liked that.

The shoe would look infinitely better with black laces but also, there are better product shots on the website.

Wtf are they doing?

[Curbyourenthusiasm]

A handful of what I'd imagine are upcoming Rowan 2 colors. Excuse the poor resolution, that was how they looked on the website. I for one am loving this shoe so I'm pretty hyped on these colors.

dill created a generation of kids that are now too cool for him and his brand, I guess it happens with every big/ iconic brand (world, blind, plan b, girl/ chocolate) but I don’t think even he could have predicted that it would happen this quickly!

i think they are cool, they could have played it super safe and just released a samba colorway again.
wanted to hate on adidas for giving blondey a lot of colorways but i realized a lot of the other guys had some (heitor, mike arnold, kader)

the vans fa half cabs are really bad and lazy

This is the third shoe that Blondey is releasing this year. There was the Gazelle Indoor AB (that never went to skate shops), the two Pro Models, and now this. The people you mentioned, combined, have probably had less colorways than Blondey.

i think heitor had 2 forum colourways and kader several superstars.
but yeah i dont even want to defend adidas, i dont really get it either but i kind of like the shoe

[moonordie]

I feel that Adidas is following the "Vans way".

[flocke]

adidas should stop with that blondey shit and make good skate shoes again!!! Who buys this shit?

Riders like gustavo, miles, suciu deserve pro models or at least their own colorways!!

[Turtle Boy]

Adidas skate program has so much potential, in my opinion even more than Nike. But for some reason they have been blowing it for a good minute.
How come Blondey gets more love than Suciu? Is he popular for the non skaters? Why is it so hard to find pro model advs in a normal colorway? Why do sambas adv are so expensive?
Maybe it's me, but I've seen nothing exciting since the Puigs (that are great shoes).
At least they are keeping Busenitz and Puig.
I'm sure there is something going on behind the scenes in the marketing department.

They need to bring back the campus Vulcan from 08…it was great. Also yeah enough with the blondey love, we get not parts from this dude yet he gets all these colorways…I’m honestly surprised they gave Sam navarez a colorway, that was cool, now give love to the other riders on the team

[MusclesMarinara]

I actually really like this shoe. The brown colorway is a breath of fresh air. I also like that coat but $200 for it is steep.

Sadly Palace designed the Puigs, so Adidas can’t even take solace in that.   

[oyolar]

It feels like Adidas (or Adidas higher-ups) forgot they have a skateboarding division that used to be top tier product-wise (and a team that still is top tier) and no one is pushing it anymore because they don’t want to upset the cart.

Not giving Felipe a colorway is one of the few things Adidas does that I agree with.

Gustav had a Samba colorway last year.

The continental and continental stripe is such a nice Adidas shoe. It actually takes something to make that look like shit, so Blondey has gone all out there.

Can't recommend the non skate continental enough. Great to skate in. Looks good. Nice leather. Can pick them up cheap.
