Under The Palms

damn, sk8-mid came through clean! i'm more interested in these upcoming military ripple-soled boots though. i saw a sketchy pic on instagram, it was enough that i'm waiting to see a full reveal and pricing before copping anything else... i'm all sneakered out, and winter is coming haha. http://disti...

this whole pack is very underwhelming tbh, i was expecting more quality but it all looks sorta half-baked. leather foxing delaminates in my experience... i have some prison issue lows and some pendleton slip-ons that both have the heel seperating slightly, so most of this pack is an instant no-go fo...

I'm stoked for the barcos and mountains but doubt I'll cop either. if they release a horween trek hi (im still regretting missing out on the camel c/w from earlier this year) with that ripple wedge sole, im in 100%. http://hypebeast.com/2012/08/taka-hayashi-x-vans-vault-th-sierra-trek-hi-lx-ii/ :o ...

the leather on the Sk8 His with the strap is going to be some of the same leather used on the Zapatos... just sayin. When Vans collabs with Horween the only leather they are gonna use is Horween which is known for making/crafting nice leather. i see what you're saying, but disagree. the leather on ...

oh.my.god. white og mc's, in my size? gimme a link or something haha.

i tried on the strap sk8-hi, and passed, but i wasn't very interested in that silhouette in the first place. not enough leather and they don't look very nice imo... the leather quality wasn't that high. if they come to my local spot i still want those barco's real bad though. and the sk8-mid. and th...

i hate how heavy they're rolling out this print. they all look weak, but those wallo/ipath ripoffs have potential, except the rear bumper foxing is a deal breaker.

barco's looking fuckin' nice! will be copping, in *hopefully* a different colorway, the preview video showed a nice light blue.

the blacks look ok, but i'll probably pass... a derby with a lug sole? c'mon.

otw, constantly bringing the sub-parness. even when they skip the cupsole and vulc the bottom, they ruin it. smh.

there was a girl at my local skatepark yesterday skating the black sk8-hi's i think. same colorway and tongue tag, didn't see the heel tab though haha. are these out? maybe they were women's samples. some other guy was skating in brown trek hi's i really wish i got a pic of that., the leather looked...

sk8-hi decons for me, if anything... depends on the materials / minor details. the whole pack looks pretty weak / uninspired although i do like the vulc on that cab. more details may change my mind on the sk8-lo or half cab, but i don't like all black slip-ons (exception: tommy guerreros) and don't ...

what month are the takas dropping? those look nice, sort of like the color-blocked half can pros from last year. I'm down.

^for the most part i agree... i think taka's best work comes from deconstructing and re-imagining the classic silhoettes, ie. his work with pendleton; they are complete re-workings but still 100% vans. a lot of his older work was based on this method ie. the priz laced, no-quarters... even the sk8-h...
