Under The Palms

I noticed that my Hosoi 1's used the IFC rubber. That and all my syndicate 004 old skool's. They'll keep using it for sure. It definitely seems less durable, and probably moreso for skating, but luckily I'm a Vans addict, so I'll never wear out all my Vans anyway... haha

IFC wasn't trash until about two or three years ago. Greg Hunt release is the best example of the horror. It is so terrible for skating. I skated a pair of sk8 lo's with that sole and they have zero support, they're extremely flimsy, and they hurt your feet on flat ground, etc.

Ahh, I see! I haven't noticed as much, but I should to a direct comparison one of these days... Haven't worn my Hunt's yet, so maybe it'd be a good way to test things out! The only thing I've noticed with some of my IFC's is that they wear out quicker, but the support and flexibility has seemed the same. Maybe we should start letting Vans know? haha

Bill's blog post:

Fucking awesome

lol I like these

cant tell if I like the black or white more...

Typically I don't like white shoes but I'm linking the whites more, but both look really good. Want both! Lol

This is going to be an interesting release if it goes through.

Both pairs are equally good looking. I love allover prints on Vans, especially on the Authentics.
I remember wanting that allover print Fucking Awesome tee from a few years back.

Same here! But I could never really see myself wearing the tee, so I held off on it. These I could definitely rock. Much more subtle.

Saw Jason dill at supreme la rocking these again, so ill

Definitely want both.
