Defo. They kinda look like Gats.

[Bizarro Jerry]

The bruin looking model looks really sick actually, I would totally try out a pair.  The high tops are pretty Ipath looking, which is kinda cool since the Ipath summer 2005 promo video is my favorite video of all time and I sometimes get that old Ipath nostalgia induced craving for grasshoper-esque mids. However the model with the recessed lace holes is on some serious Airspeed level, especially the all black model.  Any pics of the grip on these?

Caswell and Devine Calloway. He's always on there, too.

I've noticed that too. I wonder how Osiris feels about that. I suppose they stopped caring about skateboarding a long time ago.

Talked to both Dev and Caswell, working on getting them some stuff to try when I get the right sizes.

We ended up doing Agenda last minute but it went pretty well, and I put the catalog up on properskateboarding.com if you guys wanna check it out.

I'm coming up on about 6 weeks of skating these things, psyched on how they have been holding up.

so fucking cool to read that, btw  im not too cupsole-ish but those thread wear bubbles make it look like there IS enough boardfeel, how would you categorize it ?  full cup feel/sorta cup ?

That's fucking dope! They both would be great to boost the brand popularity. I love their skating!

Thinner outsole on the bottom than a traditional cup, but higher and thicker walls around the forefoot to offset that. So you're low to the ground but supported still and not all stiff and gross. Durometer is soft enough to grip but not so soft that it burns out too fast. Cupsole stitch helps keep it together as long as possible.

Saw Ryan Gallant post on the Proper IG--you should send him stuff too.

Also a size issue, but working on it.

[oyolar]

Also send Slap Pals stuff since we're assembling your team of pros.

That was quick I didn't even get to finish my post about how slap will take credit no matter what.

Wow, I'm stoked. They keep looking better and better.

Thanks! Just added some extra shoe pics as galleries as well. Talking to shops and getting ready to put the factory order in. Psyched and terrified.

Good luck! Hope it works out.
If you can, push the guys that are wearing your shoes to make some videos talking about the shoes.
I know it's a bit lame, but the youtube video/weartest is slowly replacing the catalogs.

You're probably looking for a more mature demographic, but I know a lot of kids that check every weartest/videos content they can find about a shoe before deciding to buy it.

[IanBZHD]

This shoes look sick so far!
Would definitely like to try a pair, and the Conquista is looking really nice, as well as the other models.

I'm not sure if anyone has said it, but is the model with the recessed lace loops based off the KCK? I can see a resemblance...

I used to make a ton of the videos at Nike, I could probably add a bunch of that shit to my youtube channel, Proper and other shoes as well, if peeps would be into it.

fuck yea, so when can i order this colorway? #9

[Wonderful Whizzplank]

Do you have anything sorted for UK distribution? I'm super stoked on the conquista, and need to know if I can purchase these from my local, or if I have to horde them from EU shops in the 2 years before we brexit. also, do they have a foam midsole or crated?

[ZEBRA]

When does the shop go live?? I'm ready to purchase!!!
