Under The Palms

Jumped on the spot headsup I guess I could of waited and saved a few bucks... But whatever at least I got my pairs.

They are all Blue. They also have a very tough support "plate", for lack of a better word, under the insole very similar to the Brooks England Eras. It says "Texon". I can only assume this was to add support to the otherwise soft gumsole. I'm sure it serves a purpose for skating also.

I'm lovin the feel of these. The liner on these is nice. Not the soft leather liner we are used to but they use like a nubuck suede material. Very soft and we get the extra padding from it being the Pro model Old Skool.

Yeah the insole looks to be thicker in the heel, like the older Vaults and Syndicates. Just the heel part though. The ball portion is still sorta thin. The new Hosoi notchbacks have the same pro sole as well.

Camel is the WAVE everyone... I know hypebeasts gonna be after Blue and Red but do yourself the favor and just get the Camel... The colors compliment each other so well between the light tan of the upper and the darker gum sole.

My $0.02 about this pack.

True that! and i have already blue en red shoes enough.

Agreed Wolf.

I have to admit the camel pair is calling my name, and has been. After all the hype dies down, I do think they will be the stand out pair. I also think black will be right up there with tan. After lots of wear, those two will look best anyway.

Camel was the pair I originally gravitated to as well. By the way, I took some nice pics of each pair with either laces, just in case some of you were curious. Also wrote up a little review with my .02 on this release as well. Enjoy!

Put matching laces in all four of mine Bill. Best look IMO.

Me too Thane. These are actually JoniLoco's pairs, hehe. I used them for the photo shoot since he ordered the entire set.

Damn. I guess I have to get the camel pair now. They look so smooth and suave with those tan laces in them. I'm in need! So backed up with the list of shoes I have to pick up atm..

The box details and the shoes are actually a lot nicer than expected.
