Yes I have two pairs of the Nike baroque, ones still in the box two pairs of the Billie Eilish  Air alpha force  & the blazers are not. I also still have a pair of adidas high tops when they had the vegan line.

from what i can find the next nature line is all synth. actually a few colors of non sb dunks and a few other shoes (blazers?). i wish i had known about this line when it released. i found dunks on stockx but that's about it aside from the court vision that seem to be everywhere.

Looks like we’re finally getting some Skate Halfcabs

These feel so good to have on my feet again! A bit stiff out of the box due to the duck canvas but they soon loosen up, no obvious wear after 3 skates.

I normally skate whatever soletech offering is available in Europe, but not anymore...  I have just ordered another 3 pairs to keep me going.

oh nice, would do a buy but I haven't even gone through my other pairs of shoes since I've had 0 skating for the past few months.

Anywhoo, it'd be nice to hopefully have a decent vegan half cab. I did buy those limited ones that were hemp, but they had a stash pocket in the tongue and the zips for the tongues just dug into my foot so bad I had to return them.

heard clearweather cut their skate team. bummer. those kenny andersons are expensive but a great shoe.

the vast majority of the "next nature" dunks are available in womens sizing only, however, there are a handful that go up to size 15 mens. These are all the ones that i'm aware of (and I own a couple of these in 12.5 so I can confirm that they do exist and are all synth)

Fall ‘25



Etnies catalog is all carry-overs, didn’t seem worth posting

(Edit) pretty sure those prices are in cad before anyone gets scared

looks like we'll get a few more synth (cupsole) models from emerica...
Do I spy a synth (grey) OG1?

[finecojeffe]

anyone skate the winkowski shoe? Just curious about it still, even though he's no longer skating for them. How's the fit?

Going to get some on sale

[BondsOfFriendship]

We just got in the first vegan version of the 440 V2. I've been wearing them and they feel great more supportive than the V1's. Should be skating in them in the next day or two.

Got those in a sale, mine had a leather icon on that material sticker inside.
Anyone have these and can confirm they're clean?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

↑ if they are that colorway, they are clean!
I think @PuffinMuffin  had a similar experience with that sticker …

Thanks! Yeah that specific model, NB calls in Synthetic, some sellers even call it vegan (it ain't because of the glue).
I asked NBnumeric on Insta, they confirmed it too.

Got a pair, super comfortable. Sadly winter hit hard in Ohio so the only skating I'm doing is in my basement, give a better review next time I hit a parking garage or friends indoor ramp

These drop on Thursday (the 13th):


When will NB# drop another synth colorway? If synthetic materials don't hold for the #1010 and maybe other shoes they tried, they should release a synthetic colorway of the #440 twice a year.

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

↑ All I want is one synth 1010 colorway, surely they could do it in navy or black/ grey?
I seem to remember the boss mentioning his shoe would have a synth option, but maybe I just dreamt it...
Looks like we are getting a synth/ hemp grasshopper I-path option in FA25

The synth materials were too floppy structure-wise for the #1010, so it got scrapped. If Reynolds puts out a synth colorway, I’m stocking up. The heel bruising from Crockett Decons is forcing me to start looking for shoes with better support. The only problem is that companies other than Vans (at the moment) are inconsistent in releasing vegan-friendly shoes.

Although I’m not a fan of IPATH, I can buy them from shops, so that might be the move, unless NB# comes through for us.

Instant buy. I don't care it hurts my feet

We got two colorways of low-top Cats, one colorway of the Reed Low, and one colorway of Grasshoppers. I forget whether these come out in summer or fall.

The synth 440s are around $50 shipped for one pair with the code F25 for those in the US:

I got a pair of asics japan s, not the skate version, but the regular one. It is made of synthetic leather and don't know how it will hold on when skating but it looks and feels great walking and it is also very easy to find on sale.

Those are clean. Did you purchase them from asics?
I haven’t skated in mine but great for walking as you mentioned.

the omen high winkowski was a great show but ran a little small compared to other Emerica. The new Winkowski with the rubber toe cap is extra long, not tts. size down half a size
