Seems I've been waiting on all my Syndicates the last few months... Too much high quality pig suede and ventilation to rock 'em in the wet, cold, salty winter! haha

Heres a couple online retailers that still have them:
Kinetic

Black Sheep
https://shop.blacksheepnc.com/store/pc/ ... T-dhldRSM0
Uprise
http://www.upriseskateboards.com/produc ... m?PID=8108

Got a chance to see these as the little piggy went to market.

1. LEATHER: NOT happy. Resembles the Priz Hi Laced of a year or so ago that was waaaaay over priced and I fell for it.
2. Tongue tag is trying to be leather to the point that I want to yell WTF didn't you guys use PLEATHER?? I don't even know what it is.
3. Sole is made labeled "UT" which is good. The sole is slightly yellowed and has a great grainy feel to the foxing.
4. From a distance (short) sick release. If this is your style then it's on.
5. SOLID construction. Love the thick stitching. Not sure if the alien green color I heard of would have been a better option.
6. Insole = SICK. Hardware = SICK

Comes with black "rope" laces. Rubber stamps (investigate on your own). Dust bag.
Being a part of a collection is an upside.

I've been wondering about the tongue tag. Haven't been able to tell from pics what it's printed on, but I'm hoping it's not that same crappy material the 20th Anniversary Half Cabs used...

no its definitely its own thing --- kind of rubbery. The reason was to be able to translate all that detail.. wouldn't have worked on a woven label at all.

Yeah, but I mean the 20th Anniversary Half Cabs by Dirty Donny, MOFO, and Cab... It was printed on that paperlike Tyvek material I think... Which is fine for stuff that needs to be disposable yet durable, like wristbands at a concert or novelty items like Mighty Wallets... But the print rubs off over time, which is not cool on a pair of shoes when it's displaying artwork that is almost the whole part of the appeal of the shoes.

But yeah, glad to hear this is rubbery at least. As long as it's something that will last!

they still have the authentics in store at active in Burbank if anyone's still interested

going to have to swoop on that silo alien product with my next paycheck. keep it up brant!
