Skated the blacked-out $40 Labor Day weekend special Lakai Griffins today, and I think they’re my favorite Lakai’s so far, close to the cambridges on first impression, with just slightly higher collar around the heel and the canvas on these feels a bit sturdier (I already complained about the crepe-thin canvas on those Cambridges).  I’ll probably put a thicker insole in these for next time because the toe box feels a bit roomy, but otherwise good-to-go out of the box.

Yes ! I message them on Instagram and they said :
"we are trying to make very good options
vegan suede / leather / canvas"

I'm hyped.

On the other hand, I had my first session with the State Bishop yesterday and they are really great.
Nice grip, nice flick, apprently there's rubber under the canvas, so I hope they will last.
Possibilities are everywhere, search and enjoy.

Just saw that there is a vegan version of the continental 80.
https://www.adidas.com/us/continental-80-vegan-shoes/FW2336.html
Not a "skateshoe" but imo they skate great.
I am on my third pair of the normal continental 80 in a row right now and with a a bit of superglue on the side they last a long time for me. The sole is really durable, which is always the issue for me.
And you always find some vouchers online to get them rather cheap.

Got some cream canvas Bishops and they’re the sickest. That rubber underlay is the truth...makes you wish that all canvas models had that. Big reason why I’m picking another pair of States up before Vans.

You’re right on the grip. Has Nike feels to me. Good stuff.

Anyone out there run the denim offerings from State?

Never skated states, definitely will soon, but from what I hear their denim offerings are way, way better than expected.

States are designed well, even the canvas ones don’t tend to rip that bad in my experience.

User: Skatan just DM-ed me these:

I’m skeptical of those...they look like that Adituff stuff which is just PU-coated leather.  The adidas site lists them as leather & suede (tho we know the site is often incorrect).  Did skatan give any other info?

Great !
Have you skated the Bishop before ?
Would be nice to have a comparison.

his reply:

Just checked it now, it’s actually leather 🤦‍♂️
Dunno what’s the point of making it in real leather if it’s going to look like synthetic. So dumb

es vegan pack is out. I kind of wish i would have waited and got the canvas accel slims. I got the synth ones and they are starting to break in, but I'm guessing the canvas ones would have a little more stretch to them.
No.

Just noticed that they’re $5 cheaper than all the other Accel Slim colorways.  The opposite of a vegan tax! (i.e. extra charge for soy milk in your coffee, etc)

Yeah, they are just canvas though, so I'm guessing they will not hold up as well as the others.
No.

The Last Resort highs/mids look an awful lot like the emerica Tempsters from a few years ago, from the few sneak peeks Ive seen.  Def looking forward to the canvas or vegan leather lows tho!

Not a vegan catalog SP21 is the season with more vegan colorways. Also, working on trying to get a lot more vegan colorways of more inline models as well as using synth versus just the usual canvas.

Appreciate the sentiment, but that new model looks like ass.  Just give us the 001 in vegan suede.

I just think they look super pointy, like a gazelle, but with that old skool toebox cap thrown on there almost like an afterthought.  Looks like a cheap H&M version of an old skool

yeah, have to agree there. didn't they show a shoe that had a bruin like t-toebox? maybe they scrapped that for the one piece of model 001. it seems like these new ones are the same than the 001s? just with that old skool toecap?
