Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread

[chillclinton87]

So often I feel like my experience doesn't match everyone else's. The Reynolds 3 was probably one of my least favourite shoes of all time. Huge potato tongue, sole went bald in one weekend, stumpy toe, weird butt stitching on toe cut the shit out of the top of my foot, sole completely seperated off the heel.

Altho I guess they lasted longer than all the other emerica vulcs..

i remember different....at first.

when they came our they had a more defined shape and not as puffy of a tongue. after a few seasons quality took a dip and the shoes were as you described them. Same happened on my herman g-codes and herman 2. the later the puffier/ less quality.

typical soletech at the time

also bummed for you that you had that experience with one of the most loved shoes at that time. at least around me everybody was rocking reynolds 3s, krew k-slims and a white button up for a couple years after baker 3 came out

Pretty sure I had earlier ones but they were "leather" so I think that's what made the stitching cutting me thing happen (altho I guess that still didn't happen for others). Funnily around that time I came up on a few pairs of aves last DC shoe which was a thinner vulc but did exactly what youre talking about with becoming a puffier/crappier as time went on.

i recall certain colors seemed to have a crazy puffy tongue, like some brown suede ones I tried on. My green nubuck ones had a normal tongue, fairly wide soa  slight wrap, but otherwise the show was perfect. I didn't find the vulc to wear to quickly either. Height of it was perfect too, like a quarter mid, or a low without too much of that drop around the ankle.

fuck man, now that you say it....could've been really dependent on the colorway too.....2005 was a whiiiile ago

i guess i might just have these first few/ made very famous colorways (via baker 3 reynolds and herman especially) in high regard. never been able to even get these since they sold out.

but i had a purple upper with white sole reynolds 3 and they were pretty good.

vulcs back then were different i feel like. harder rubber maybe? very welcome if anybody in the know wanna chime in......

i too remember a fallen trooper shoe around the ride the sky video that was a vulc but pretty bulletproof for me

[144p]

Trooper was most definitely a cup sole, maybe fallen did a vulc version at some point too
But og trooper was cup.

[Mean salto]

Maybe they meant the ripper. As far as vulcs being different back then I can't say for sure with everything (and def won't be saying they were better because so many were absolute garbage) but there were a lot of thin cups made to look like vulcs or shoes that weren't truly vulcanised but kinda made with the same idea. Like you get the outsole and a side wrap but it's not all melted together in an oven etc it's just glued together. Pretty sure the aves I mentioned a little earlier were made like this and Adidas and Nike might actually still make their vulcs like this now.

[chillclinton87]

@144p and @Mean salto are correct: i meant the ripper

Brown Arto Accel looks so good.

They need to be known as Twoies

thats a long tongue. i wonder if it'll come with a cut line like on busenitz.

[Daydream]

Yeah shoe shape looks good overall but that tongue length and already moving - no centering straps. Gonna be the type to work for your foot shape or not?

Tongue looks pretty center to me, maybe they have the internal centering straps?

Can confirm no straps on the tongue “Louie doesn’t like them”

If Mike Anderson is wearing them, does that mean they’re vegan?

He’s been wearing the leather/suede academy one stars in his ig clips for the past month, so, probably not

[Scarecrow Radio]

Eh. I like the Louie Twos but they look too similar to Busenitz for me to buy a pair

[DCLOVE]

It feels like it’s mandersons shoe the way we’ve yet to see Louie wear it

[Atiba Applebum]

Louie seems much more careful about not getting shot in them.   But then again this account has posted these photos a few times so maybe it’s not being intensely guarded

Eyelashes definitely seem like something where you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone

I’m bordering Nik Stain level eyebrows, I can’t imagine trying to live without eyelashes though that would be devastating, sincerely hope I never loose my face hair that shit would kinda suck
