AF1s will also (allegedly) have those forged plates we saw on the ‘gram a while back. Maybe even some hollow axles and/or pins.
Still have no intel on any planned size changes with those, or the classic series.
Personally, I’m only interested in forged plates if they maintain the same height. Def not looking to go lower, as I like my wheels around 54-56 zone, and I hate pitching myself on fakie roll aways due to wheel bite.
Not calling bullshit or anything, but if they were doing that with the new releases, wouldn't any/all of that be highlighted in the new ad copy? Closest is the vague "proprietary" thing with the baseplates. I'd love it if it were true but I ain't holding my breath.
Indeed, but the
other thing I didn’t see in the ad copy was any mention of AF1. Maybe
these are just the
latest iteration of the classics, while the
next/new truck is still around the...
I don’t know, homey. I haven’t even seen the advert in real life, only on here. My conjecture is based on publicly available info, as well as a couple rando convos I had with people in position to sniff what was coming down the ol’ flume of effluvia (Ace team dudes I occasionally skate with.)
There’s no reason to take my speculation any more seriously than anybody else’s, and I offer my apology if I came off sounding like an insider with secret knowledge.
Could well be that these new jawns have that Ace “rings logo” pattern under them, or that or that those forged-looking plates we saw were actually just CNCd jobbers to serve as prototypes, or... who knows?
Pretty sure they’d mention a forged plate in the advert, if’n they were gonna run with them.
