Its so funny to look back and think I got made fun of for skating Airwalks as a kid. SLB23 were my next "real" skate shoe, but were def not cool in my area.

Airwalk Franky's


[close]

I'm sort of bummed its not the Blammo from like '94 ish. I had 2 pairs of these and remember liking them at the time

[close]

Dude, they are selling Jason Lee airwalks in Japan RN, was actually super stoked about it till I saw the $300 price tag. Now I'm just bummed on the whole thing cause I'm sure the construction is probably garbage, and they're definitely not worth it... But deep down I still want the motherfuckers.  They are on eBay if interested. Man, some black ones with white laces would be a dream come true for me. always wanted a pair, never been possible till now.

I seen these floating around awhile back, was stoked on them til I saw they were 350 or something apparently they are designed by that dude who was in N.E.R.D with Pharrell

I don't remember when it happened, but they fell off quick. 80s and early to mid 90's they were still good and pre flames shoes....

Man, some black ones with white laces would be a dream come true for me. always wanted a pair, never been possible till now.

My best friend was back in Japan for work so I ordered some and got them shipped to our homie's place where he was staying.



The quality is really good on them. The sole is nice and soft and gummy like you would expect. Surprisingly good insole too. Mine were around $175 CDN which was still a little pricey for me. Most of the sites they have them on don't ship overseas but you can use a proxy, or one of the sites will ship overseas. I forget which one, someone let me know. I could figure it out if anyone is interested. Shipping would be expensive but they'll be cheaper than $300 for sure. You definitely would need someone who knows Japanese to navigate the websites though.

They fit a little roomy, I think I would have preferred a half size down. My main gripe with them is that the toe is a little too high, kind of boot-shaped and it's kinda rigid. Makes them a little less wearable to me as I was going to wear these tons.

I have an OG pair of the white/gum so definitely can tell the difference in shape between the reissues and the OGs.



They also did a proper Enigma and if had the money I would have bought two of both, one to chill and one to skate.

I had the white/gum Jason Lee's when I was in HS and I loved them. It was the first pair of white shoes I ever wanted. I don't think I could pay $300 for them but they were great 30 years ago lol

All they’d need to do is release these and I’d permanently be a customer, my cousin had a pair of these, I never got them, but I was super jealous
Why can't they just realease a Mid/Cab/Cup/Lee?

i think airwalk is licensed out in japan similar to how converse is run independent of nike there so they can make different models and are usually of higher quality than what we see in the states.

For anyone getting hot under the collar for some J Lees (particularly the brown/gum ones) / there’s a 440 colorway that just came out that should get @mini greek a round of applause

Over the weekend I saw someone at my local park wear what looks like a Vans lo cab with the dragon symbol on the side. Pretty sure the guy was a rep or something. Any word if this shoe is coming out?
