@@wedprez whoever is running the show over there seems to have a great policy.

@@kenlau7954 think it depends on your size. Still seen some stores will smaller sizes at retail. But the bigger sizes I think may increase as times go on and then become harder to find. But they are also releasing a lot of Kobe’s, so that may keep the fans happy and the prices down.

@@jay_ohhlayy yeah, that’s a good comparison. It’s a nice shoe overall tbh

@@user-zz5rk7xc4w hahahah. First person who’s ever actually commented on that. That’s how we said it growing up, I tired to say it the “correct” way as much as possible. Lol

@@masonjagat I don’t have the OG to compare. But I looked up photos and stuff myself when I was debating between them as the WIP version. This one come lined too, slightly different pattern. But still pretty well built, could easily wear it with just a T-shirt in like spring and fall weather.

@@Laurenelizo Initially I thought it was the better of the pairs. But then when more released and you saw how the silhouette looked with the contrasting panels I’d agree. I got the all white pair too and they look pretty nice.

@@raya472 solid. I went with my regular size. I’d say tts. Maybe a slightly narrower feel then a dunk, more like a blazer

@@saming82 thank you!

Only the shoes that I believe will hold their value. This shoe for example is a shoe that I wear often. Not as a beater, but not a shoe that in the future is going to be more valuable, so that box I wouldn't keep.

For the price you can't go wrong. Its lined and the outer material is pretty tough. I know the WIP Detroit jackets come in like spring and fall versions (line or unlined), feel this could fall maybe in between. I love it, and the colorway is like the perfect Carhartt brown.

Hey! Yes, same fit and size as regular vans.

@@MeNMyKickz1988 Thank you! 🙏🏻

@@ALWAYSFRESH4LIFE that would have been a lot cooler for sure. I know Nike are very particular with what they do with their swoosh. Like the backwards swoosh on some lebrons and then the Travis’s was a big thing. If there was some superstar breakdancer that would make these shoes a lot more hyped, then maybe.

Yeah, the few Old Skool pairs i own have given me blisters the first few times too. Sk8-mid was a solid looking pair too.

@@rage6338 i had a similar issue with last years release. Waited for them to come on the vans site after seeing them sit on the bape site as they offered free shipping. They sold out, but by then they had sold out on the bape site too. smh. Glad you got a pair though.

@@kicksofmiamithat actually makes me feel better lol. Thanks for showing them. Any chance of doing an on foot vid?

@@rage6338 haha, you are welcome. Sneaker game is a weird one sometimes. I’ll probs post some on foot shots on my IG tomorrow.

@@Ruben-qy9tb I would say tts. I’m a US10 in Nike and Adidas and went with a 10, same as the other vans I have and they fit good. I don’t have a laceless version, but would think a 0.5 up for a laced pair would be good.

They tts yours will roomy 😮

@@kerrybrewster63 I have a vans pro insole I can put in. I have the supreme vans old schools in a 9.5 so I’ll just rob them haha

Awesome. Seeing them both in the store made the choice harder. When i first saw photos, I loved the low tops. But then seeing the Sk8 in person, they looked a lot better then in the photos.

@@Theophiloz I’m usually a US 10. I went with a 10.5 and they fit good. I probs could have done with my regular size too, but they just felt a little narrow around the toe box and the 0.5 up felt better. Think it depends a little on your foot. If wider then defo go up 0.5 size.

@kicksofmiami Thanks, dude! You're the second reviewer to say the toe box is a little tight. I went ahead and ordered a half size up 🙏🏿.

@@Theophiloz no worries mate. Glad I could help out.

​@Theophiloz where did u order the futura

@@adoboFosho was able to find them in a local footlocker.

@@kennethmason8677 I happened to find these in store. From my understanding, these aren’t meant to release until fall, so maybe August or September.

@@kicksofmiami What store bro?

@@kennethmason8677 was actually a footlocker at a mall down in Miami I just happened to go to. Kinda random and what felt like a mistake.

@@kicksofmiami 🔥🔥

@@Denosauropteryx Cheers. I’m about 180 cm and just shy of 70kg and I got a small. Fits great. Depending on how you want it to to fit, but sizes could work. Medium would probs be better if you are looking for t-shirts underneath. If you want hoodies and sweaters; then a large may be better. They had a really easy return policy, so buying one of each is also an option.

@@playingmusiconmars mine are a men’s US10.5. So there should be men’s sizing too. I believe on the Nike site, one colorway was Women’s. But this pair is labeled as a men’s pair.

@@kicksofmiami Thanks for the Info, I'll be looking out! Nike did a bad job with Marketing these lol

Anytime. Yeah, being a shoe that took that long to design, and is the first of its type. Surprised they didn't do more with it.

@@kicksofmiami disappointing

@@mohammedadam6123 A little. went with my normal shoe size, but if you have wider feet, going up 0.5 may help. They fit nicely for me though.

How much would u rate this shoe out of 5 ?

@@mohammedadam6123 a solid 4. Love the colorway, comfort is good and can be worn pretty easily. Just think the price point is a little much for the shoe.

@@FlyBrooRay79 they are. Wasn’t too much a fan of the two colorways that released online. But this one was clean.

@@SpeckyNation agreed. Calling them golf shoes is definitely a stretch. They could have just as easily put the regular j1 sole on and probs sold better. You couldn’t possibly play in them.

They were a dope high top that got little recognition.

@@kicksofmiami We were rocking em. I played in bands when the shoe was hot... the dudes in Fallout boy were even wearing em. We just moved on from those and creative rec. It was a moment though

@@kevincollins8620 these are great. I love the sambas, but sometimes the thin silhouette can be hard to style. This thicker version makes it a lot easier to wear all around while still having that samba look. Comfort it’s pretty solid too as it’s a little thicker all around.

@@kicksofmiami I own handballer and now Samba is accepted into fashion I'd want a different take on em. I also like them predator freestyle shoes. Like I love the samba but now that everyone is on my trail with Handballer... I'm scooping predator freestyle to fit in that niche. I dunno why my fellow soccer sneakerheads haven't been the first to climb that summit... it's right there. Ain't even a Green diamond but a blue circle. Easy pickens

@@kevincollins8620 imma be interested to see if adidas brings back the predator absolute ACUB, with the megaride style cushioning in the back. But they have made some pretty cool causal style sneakers based off the predators which is pretty cool.

@@kevincollins8620 I really rate this shoe. Like the colorways and the comfort is pretty exceptional for the value.

@@kicksofmiami those mostly light blue or pink ones are the star until the verdy release.

@@kevincollins8620 yep. The Verdy ones are meant to drop in the summer. So either now or after the Olympics. Don’t think they’ll do it during the Olympics as they have their own SB pack releasing. We shall see.

@@kicksofmiami I hope all of the Verdy stuff is legit hated. I hope it bombs like the recent drop of Korn shoes with like No resell. Or does like the two legacy air maxes this year the 86 and 180 and get bought but die on arrival at secondary. One can dream but we know they will move like a decent Travis Scott release.

@@kevincollins8620 always care what people are commenting here. Interesting story, and would agree with you. Don’t think this model would sell, even in this color if it wasn’t for the collab, and also supreme doing their Darwin model with Nike.

@@kicksofmiami yup! And I'm not saying that I don't like these. They are perfect for today's trend. With Salomon shoes being a thing

@@kevincollins8620 yeah. You are right, don’t think the style will last too long though.

@@kicksofmiami people are cycling fads too much and not doing what will last. Plus if everyone is doing it will we all really want it? Like I ain't seen a fidget spinner in ages. When something explodes it dies quick too. I remember how fast we stopped caring about our Talkboy recorder we had to have. Lmao

@@wedprez thank you my friend.

@@deadguykazu I did 50/50 bleach to water. Painted it on with a paint brush. Let it sit for 20 mins, re applied it roughly 3 times.

@@benedictsantiago6821 they are pretty cool. Even if you wear them just around the house.

@@kicksofmiami you're right.

How’s the sizing ? True or size up or down ?

@@F1ow3rzzk true size

@@benedictsantiago6821 ok cool because so many people are saying to go 1/2 size down but I’ll probably go true size

@@SSpeeeedy thank you. Hopefully it’ll gain some traction.

@@wedprez 😂

@@wedprez 😂

@@R37ARD3D which model are you looking at?

Thank you!

That’s a solid colorway.
