^Look real clean
 do they have a thick insole or something? Are they the soles off that Gino challenge court from way back

They do indeed have a thick insole. Here they are with an SB dunk and a gt blazer low:

Remember when Supra made those Ellingtons that looked like b-rate remakes of his Emerica shoe? This looks like a (better) Nike version of the Ellington Li Ning

Was going to say the same.
Nike should stick with Blazers, Dunks and the ocasional pro model like the Ishod 2.

Add the Gatos and I’d be ok with this.

What is the difference between the "normal" SB Blazers and the GT Blazers?

What is the difference between the "normal" SB Blazers and the GT Blazers?

I believe that GT have a "lower" toe in the sense of rubber height regarding regular blazers.

[shawngreg]

GTs are generally low tops.  they're almost always canvas in the back, and some version of leather/suede up front.  they have a smoother, higher taping on the outsole compared to regular blazers.  im sure theres other things but those are the stand out differences

[Troubadour26]

to me, the GT’s also fit really well compared to the Blazer SB. I feel my heel pop into the back of the shoe and it fits like a glove, like a soccer boot almost. I don’t know if the Blazer SB also has the tongue straps but the GT does. I wanna say that the GT has a thinner tongue also.

[rawbertson.]

OK, I got the GT Blazer and I am really enjoying it. Price was right too. So if I get the normal Blazer I probably won't notice a ton of difference? I am gonna try to keep getting this one for now!

[Scarecrow Radio]

GT Blazers also have a fake leather lining the collar that will eat your achilles tendon through your sock just walking around in them

[kook1234]

the last lace hole is some kind of metal on the GTs

Those look pretty Reacty. I wonder if they are dumping the name and keeping the tech?

the fc insole is solarsoft which is a derivative of lunarlon. its the same shoe they released in 2017.

[jakeumms]

^Ah I see. The heelcup in the insole threw me off.

[SupremePizza]

Supposedly these will be dropping next Thursday

[marcusbutler]

When's the release on the sb classics?

[CarcassToss]

The FC are cups right?

[chillclinton87]

The FC are cups right?

yep!

the shoes are really dependent on the insole since that makes up most of the cushioning. Still it is a thicker outsole compared to like bruin reacts, where also the midsole does all the cushioning.

found hella pairs of the FC classic around 2019 at my local outlet and decided to buy both. TTS and skated surprisingly good as far as i remember!

think they were a little on the tighter side maybe?

Can weigh them Monday if you really want to know. But they do feel lighter than dunks that's forsure.

[shawngreg]

i'm curious about the FC's if anyones picked up a pair.  how are they in person?  materials, shape, fit, etc.  would love to see some photos as well if available

I had the OG ones from 2017 I believe where you could read solarsoft (or something like that on in the insole). They were pretty comfy but they didn't fit me since ai ordered TTS as always on Nike but those were for sure +.5 at the very least.

I wish these would come back instead.

[close]

Agreed. Have this exact pair but soles separating, bought second hand, wish I got to skate em.

Wish they brought these back too. Back in like 2016-2017 they made an all black ftc pair with this sole. Thought that meant it was coming back but no. Regret not buying them

It was not the same sole, it's the Lunar Gato sole.

I posted pic's of them on the page before this. You can still read solarsoft on the insoles. On the top of this page there is photos of the insoles.

So, just curious since I was in the shop on Sunday and saw some sitting on the counter:

Who is going to skate their Live Laugh Love’s?

So, just curious since I was in the shop on Sunday and saw some sitting on the counter:

Who is going to skate their Live Laugh Love’s?

if i can get my hands on them i will skate them.....still haven't decided if i'd try to get them. dunks and how they fit my foot really depends on the materials they use wich i am sure i'm not alone with.

for example, the fogs fit right out the box, no pressure points but them being suede made them floppy rather quick.
white leather carry over: suuuper tight in the beginning, had to wear them around the house but footpain was harsh after an hour. after skating them for a bit they loosen up and keep their shape quite good.
grey dunks/ wolf greys: best of both worlds, a lil tight in the beinning, keeping their shape, lasted pretty great.

then the live laugh love dunks have that weird material on the top of the toes, like rope type material. i had the unbleached dunk highs from a few years ago that looked to be similar- flicked through the shoes in no time, deadly tight and kinda bad fitting so in conclusion i'm hasitant when it comes to those, end rant!

100% to all of this. And although they do fit diff I still stick to the same size, but stay clear of weird materials or construction. Ran only suede for a few years recently, that was great. Switched to leather and that was good on an older pair, but since they've been restocking the gums it seems everything has gotten a tad tighter. I got those two recenlt sail suede ones and have to run em with dress socks, shit's a bop. Everything slimming into that sorta fit it feels. Even the Jano's FFS.

i remember trying to fit janoskis on back when the OGs really first came out: even at a full size up i could barely fit half my foot in. shit got better and i eventually tried skating them. my knees were done for 3 weeks after that lil session 

back to topic- dunks should overall fit the same but difference in materials is harsh sometimes
