[@rydenhaze10]

i skate the converse ctas pro mid top, there by far my longest lasting skate shoes, the rubber toe cap is super strong, i just ripped it last week but it still flicked good, the grip is now wearing out and I’ve been skating them for 4 months

[@ezgezg8618]

Wish I could get me some Muska'$

[@Bob101520]

Half Cab!!! Vans are thes best

[@stratobungle]

I dug into eBay and found a cheap pair of NOS World Industries cupsole shoes, cause I'm old and my feet hurt all the time... I also have a pair of Adidas Tyshawn mids, and a pair of DC Manteca 4 Zero Wastes. I have a bunch of older Vans that I unfortunately can't fit into anymore, cause of my feets bein' swollen... 😮‍💨

Sick shoe and tech . Some solid color ways will make this shoe blow up

[@argenslucasfadelpires8997]

I was walking until last Sunday with the Nike Blazer GT Low, incredible Boardfeel but I ended up hurting my heel while maneuvering and I wore my Vans Wayvee for today's ride and it was sensational in terms of comfort, I had no heel pain. Waiting for Rowan 2 to arrive here in Brazil 🛹🔥👟🔥🇧🇷🤘🏻.

[@ThomasWake1]

Im all here for the cup sole renaissance. Very dope shoe on and off board.

[@mattmendoza7193]

vans used to put more tech in their shoes back in the day. i remember my dad had some cab5s those were beasts

[@ShredzShop]

I loved the cab 5's!

[@Judo.chop44]

The 5s and 6s !!! So many lost grails they should reissue from the 90s/ early 2000s . Oh how I miss the golden era

[@subieracer005]

Dope shoes... and look at those locks on Levi! Going full Fabio!

[@ShredzShop]

🤣😂🤣

[@ca9968]

Still patiently waiting for a shoe episode about Vision Street Wear... The "Moon Boots" on sale in the late 80`s/early 90`s with the lace saver that could be tucked away were amazing shoes to skate...

[@ShredzShop]

Gotta work on a vision episode 👀🙏

[@Johnnytotal]

I have the old shoe and love it, not so sure about a bigger beefier shoe. Would have to try them on, also I prefer them in all black.

[@versnellingspookie]

Love the hair Levi!

[@Judo.chop44]

Favorite vans pro model .....I'll have to go with the rowley xlt . Close 2nd Def lizzie high....can't get enuff of this shoe . Grabbed em just to add to the collection . No real plans to wear them , now they are My go to every day pair

[@argenslucasfadelpires8997]

Can anyone tell me if the Rowan 2 or Nike Dunk SB is more comfortable?

[@harukiba-curetaurus]

I might consider but I’ll have to wait

[@l.j.i]

The Rowans were the best shoes I've ever skated (and I've been skating since D3s were big 😅)... so these look just bomb. But hell naw, I can't afford $150... I'm going to wait 'til they hit the outlet. 🤟

[@YerBrwnDogAteMyRabit]

150 Bucks?! Jesus...that's right on the border of Jordan territory..

[@Suave.DW8]

They’re 110

The farmers market made me laugh. So good.

[@jayempreem]

Vans Geoff Rowley XLT x Dime Review (and history behind the pro model)

[@ShredzShop]

They’re got some new (retro) colourways dropping in the XLT and I think we’re gonna try n do a full 10 min mini doc on the shoe and Rowley’s contribution to Vans. Should be a good one

[@That2003show]

Cool shoes

[@jules_art]

Best vans? Rowley xlt, then halfcab. I would like to try zahba mid. The rowan 2 looks like they try to create a sb dunk low

[@ShredzShop]

Lots of new XLT’s coming down the pipe! Stoked for some retro colourways 👀🙏

[@jonb6322]

Not sure how they skate yet, but they look "fly" as fuck. Top 5 in best looking Vans. Hell Yeah, hope Rowan makes Janowski bread!

[@ShredzShop]

I think they look pretty dope on foot! Rowan’s been skating in and the more I see them, the more I like em!! 🔥🔥

[@daviddavid5758]

Has anyone actually seen any vans shoes before? those look like crap!

[@cojackiv5953]

I was so hyped for this shoe until I saw the price 😢

[@ShredzShop]

Definitely the highest end skate shoe Vans has made!

[@FrackaLacka]

@@ShredzShopis this more tech than the AVE?

[@DeadnightHorror]

I still think the Berle Pros are the best skate shoe ive ever skated i currently have 15 pairs, 6 still in boxes. Hopefully they make the Berle Pro 2 since they also have the Chima 2

[@DeadnightHorror]

But this shoe looks alr6ill have to give it a go

[@ShredzShop]

These soles definitely feel similar to the Berle. Not sure why they shoe got discontinued so fast, cause it sold pretty well for us! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@yankonovo2924]

Man the berle where fr the best vans shoes man

[@warmuzi4240]

The black colorway would go harder with gum soles

[@ShredzShop]

They've got some new colours coming down the pipe!! These are just the 2 launch colorways

[@Toastedcowsb]

I'm skating the DC pure high in light Grey dark grey and white

[@ShredzShop]

See lots of people skating DC again lately , they’ve got a pretty solid team atm too!!

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

I like the vans old skool skate pro

Solid choice! 👊

Nice of vans too finally make a skate shoe for once in years. Etnies have been my skate shoes for the past year.

[@ShredzShop]

What you currently skating? 👀 Maranas?

[@247420Maniaxe]

@@ShredzShopno, think they're called half pipe, mid tops. Pretty nice.

[@nephimcknight5832]

Same price as dunks and I bet they're much better 👌

[@ShredzShop]

Definitely a different fit and feel than a dunk!

[@AllensLuna]

most expensive vans shoes ive bought are the new rowley xlt they for whatever reason they cost 120 best shoe ever though

[@eddyc3181]

This like the NB/Nike shoe

[@mattmendoza7193]

they the same price as NB Tiagos and near the price of es creagers that just dropped but i feel like the rowan 2 doesn’t have near the same quality

[@alpineflauge909]

wow

[@dadboard]

I just want vans to make a comfortable skate slip on. They can keep this Ross sale rack looking sh*t

[@FrackaLacka]

A cupsole slip would be sick, i guess they technically have that with the BMX slip but like a skate model one would be cool

[@ShredzShop]

Appreciate the comment haha I like hearing people’s honest opinions on stuff. I like the look of these a lot after seeing Rowan skating them they grew on me. But one of the most common pieces of feedback we get is people want cup sole versions of the classics. I’d die for some waffle cup Half Cabs but they refuse to make them haha

[@dadboard]

@@ShredzShop I’m also probably aged out of the target demographic for most new product coming out but I’m gonna cash in on my grumpy old head tickets whenever possible 😤

[@xxbos5xx]

I would never buy these market price just too much. I got Rowan and they are my favorite skate shoe so far between my s8 hi’s, old schools and converse and i am sure these new ones are just fantastic.

[@ShredzShop]

Yea I think they’re the highest price Vans shoe we’ve ever had. But I think the tech kinda matches the price (kinda dunk price with more tech). But I definitely get it, buying a cheaper less tech shoe if you’re skating a lot and destroying lots of shoes. 🙏👊 Love hearing your feedback!

[@Eryktion]

I think it's cool that Vans is making tech shoes again after milking the cash cow with the simple retro shoes for so many years now. But to me this narrow look is pretty ugly. And I can't imagine my foot would feel great in such a narrow shoe. Why don't they make the toe box wider? Also I would like it to be a bit more padded on the top with a wider lace path.

[@ricardogalvao3603]

Shoe looks like Levi's new hair. A bit wierd

[@ShredzShop]

😂 takes some getting used to?! We haven't filmed in a while

Holy shit he has hair

[@chrisl3856]

Don't love the look, but think the black is the better of the two. Loved the Rowan 1 and will likely pick up a couple pairs before they disappear. Don't doubt these will be popular, but don't LOOK like Vans, looks like a Nike.

[@ShredzShop]

They're going to continue making the Rowan 1 so you should be chill!!

[@bcskate123]

best vans tech shoe was the wavey justin henry color way.

[@ShredzShop]

That coffee bean color was dope! By far the best Wavy color released!

[@the.littlest.toaster]

The mesh instantly rips those shoes just looked good horrible construction

[@paunchcoorlightly4000]

"The Rowan 2's look completely different" Literally the same upper on a cupsole.

[@thegreyhoundnyc]

you guys need to lace better, mad choke.

[@robertarmour9572]

I don't get the vans hype, their shoes are rubbish. Had the original Rowans, after a couple of skates so much stitching came undone the checker skate tag fell out. Also, the rubber sole started falling out, the foxing tape became unglued in large sections resulting in rocks, gumnuts (Aussie thing) and sticks getting stuck between the foxing and sole. I could go on... And they were the most expensive pair of shoes I've skated in.

[@robertarmour9572]

PS. Love the vids, keep up the good work.

[@FrackaLacka]

Vans must be more expensive in AUS, I almost exclusively have been skating the Rowan in the states for the past year and they have been lasting me a while before the foxing starts to give, and I can get them for $60-70 usually

[@ShredzShop]

ALways appreciate the feedback! Stoked you like the vids!! 🙏🙏 I find any vulcanized shoe falls apart faster than a cup. But it’s sacrifice you make for lots of grip and board feel. Honestly, if you still have that pair you should email a photo to Vans with some details of what made you dislike em, they’re usually pretty good and sorting you with a new pair.

[@robertarmour9572]

@@FrackaLacka for reference retail price in AU$... Rowans are $150, 440s $140, blazers $120, dunks $160. So, they're a pretty high price for vulcs. Happy to hear you've had a better experience than me.

[@robertarmour9572]

@@ShredzShop in recent times I've skated vulcanised shoes from many brands including Nike, new balance, Adidas, lakai and they were all considerably more durable. Maybe I just got a dud pair, maybe they got baked in the shipping container on their way over. Good to know vans are good with their customer service.

[@tsunderedwin]

its literally the berle pro

[@ShredzShop]

Sole looks similar! Definitely a beefier sole that Berle that’s takes a little longer to break in, I think higher impact cushioning.

[@lilscrappy50cent20]

the shoe would probably look better if the shoe didnt have that line in the middle. different color too!! I'm not feeling it, just looks like a boring vans shoe, just my opinion

[@ShredzShop]

Appreciate the feedback!! There’s some new colourways coming down the pipe on these! A burgundy with black sole that looks pretty retro and cool!

[@hed1fsu]

They look like the department store vans.. not the skate shop vans. Huh. Weird. I dig the ave more for looks.

[@himebaughchris4026]

Look like Skechers.
