Asics Containment Thread

cream white/gum gel vikkas are wowzers

[Jim and Dan]

@MOE SYZLAK @144p @uesty how have the Asics lines been selling for you all? Just curious to see if they are catching on. Being a small sizer (6-6.5) I'll have to search around the interwebs for a pair to try, those Japans and Gel Vikkas look really nice and up my ally.

how do the japan pro fit compared to dunks in terms of sizing [i.e will a 9 in japan pro fit roughly the same as 9 in dunks] and in terms of the arch? i like how flat dunks feel, aggressive arch doesn't work for me

or the vic nbd if anyone's tried that

much appreciated

No crazy arch in the Japan.  Very similar to a dunk. If you like your shoes snug I would go down a half size from what you wear in a dunk. Vic NBD is true to size.

Drop 6 releases today. Premier ships internationally for those outside of the US and Japan. New video today as well.

Any ideas if we'll get some of the colorways of other shoes from Japan to the US soon? Been digging those red and white Aaron Pros

In the recent Asics video and others it looks like Akwasi was skating some of the non-skate shoes as well. Does anyone knows which ones those are?

He skates the Gel NYC and the Gel Quantum Kinetic. Both are great for chilling, but I couldn’t imagine skating them, especially the Kinetic.

The first batch did good instantly and re ordered and kind of regret it, didn't sell much after that.
This batch sold a couple pairs already.

The Vic NBD in Black/Graphite/Neon Green is a dope shoe.

Agreed. I’ve seen them on foot and it pretty much looks like an all black shoe.

The Japan's did quite well. I think a few people are sleeping in the VikKa tbh.
I think they'll catch on as more people in town are seen skating them.
Should have a couple models from the new line in soon.

Hey everyone,
Has anyone skated the white leather Japan pro? I’m wondering if the leather holds up and flicks as good as the suede. That white pair with the black sole is calling my name.
And also, is there a midsole in these or is it the egg crate structure?
I appreciate it

They need to break in a bit to flick as good as the suede ones. But other than that they are holding up more yhat my dunks.
Theres a midsole on these. Landed primo on this shoe many times and I'm fine. Dunks hurt whrn you land primo.
