Its better looking than the liberty cup from a few years ago ^^



I kinda like this Tekkira Cup model,  I think it would look good once skated
I do understand why this doesn’t appeal to some/most of you.    Stag comparison was fair but still kinda harsh

Same. Digging this. All the colorways look good, too.

[close]

I think these look good, too. If you watched that new Kader video, he does a indoor stationary kickflip in the black colorway. Looks good on foot for that half a second

this is the worst looking shoe Adidas Skateboarding has ever made

it's hard to believe this is actually real

[close]

Uh-oh, Adidas got dem selves a Tiago killer... 

The Dunk killer may not have hit like they wanted, but now they've got this!

*Editor's note: I actually like the Forum 84's a lot, high and low, ADV and regular.

As a person who owns a lot of Adidas and is wearing some right now, this shoe offends me...

I absolutely loathe the forum's. I wore a pair of the 84 for a three day vacation to boston and absolutely destroyed my feet with blisters. had the ADV and hated how heavy they felt.
p.s. I remember when they were trying to push those forums HARD, basically made it their de-facto model for collabs. now they're actually trying to push the superstar again.

So this is why God made everyone's feet slightly different... 

I primarily just chill in them these days, so can't attest too much to the blister factor on a hard session, but my tootsies have been A-OK, plus straps are legit.

Adidas insoles feel like absolute dogshit compared to others

[Jim and Dan]

Adidas insoles feel like absolute dogshit compared to others

I will agree with that, some of the worst insoles over the years...

i.e.: Rubber insoles

How the fuck are you supposed to get your feet into a shoe that is actively working against you?

Gonna bring this little detour here full circle:

I had these years ago and they were almost in bowling shoe territory

[close]

Nah, those were Emerica Old Skools with no stripe…

[close]

I get they have basically the same design but iirc the emericas were a lot wider and stiffer then the vans, like you couldn’t choke them if u tried - maybe j this color way but they felt damn near like plastic - super firm. Idk I’m probably wrong for saying they looked like bowling shoes but they definitely didn’t feel like vans old skools

[close]

They skated really good imo the sole was cupsole too but was kinda cheap in a good way.

Still have that exact one in my closet.

My Mom actually found this shirt of mine as well. I think it’s a small and in pretty pristine condition.

Had the shoes too and skated them.

[gaunting]

I bought the shirt when it and the shoes first came out. I wanna say that was around 2006? I honestly can’t believe it’s in one piece lmao. it’s super thin, and the actual collar eventually fell off. one of my fav shirts I have.

[Troubadour26]

is there any word on the éS Accel proper re-issue? Aren’t those supposed to be out by now?

[BeachChicken]

A proper Accel reissue will never happen despite any claims to the contrary or any current releases.

[theloniousmonk]

 I think they are out. At least the arto ones I saw last summer have a better looking toe.
Those old accels were great. Pretty sure they are now made in a different factory, so it’s never going to be the same.

[MusclesMarinara]

My brothers in Christ it is okay to move on from Sole Tech brands. They were shells of their former selves even before the sell to their new owners. Just let them die with the little dignity of the past 30+ years of nostalgia they leave behind.

Most of the models feel Photoshoped, hopefully they can shut down in less than a year.

Even worse than I could've imagined. Collabs with Haze Wheels and Aura Skateboards? These are real companies? Makes the last few years of Lakai look amazing in comparison.

[roba]

haze is legit, it's a french wheel brand, it's been around. definitely a weird ass choice for a collab though, it's not that well known even here in europe

The new colorways are cooked, and I'm usually in defense of going away from standard issue CWs/  Admittedly I like the aura colorways, but ANY brand could do that pink and teal shit, and I'd give it a pass. I don't see the Roman Hager Hype, but Luis has decided to invest in this dude for all his brands.

The Conrad is a sick shoe. I liked the toe cap era of the 2010s aesthetically

[Kfresh]

Agreed on the Conrads/toe caps. I always loved the Allen Slip ons with the cap. I'd welcome a comeback.

Ahhaa i meant conrad

Why they acting like egg crate soles are some newfound tech?
