Under The Palms

You should get 'em for free since they stole your idea from your photoshopped pics last year, Derek! haha

The burgundy colorway is lookin' buttery!!

Those are ridiculous. I want all of them. The tongue label is a great touch.

Haha, I thought I'd be the only one to remember that! Wishes do come true

Can't wait to get a pair of these

That suede looks so buttery!

Looks like that to me as well.

these look smokin good. Nothing like a good ole fashion bones pack. Cant wait for these and I wonder why they decided to scrap the Slip On? My guess is the non-success it had in the past… Cant wait for this one… Too much good info coming out all at once! Gonna have to go into budget mode...

^I was the thinkin' the same shit. All I know they saved me some money there, haha.

its funny you mention the slip on, i just wore the black ones yesterday and the blue ones are on my feet today... as evidenced by my sad little "shoes of the day" twitter ramble...

I cant complain one bit

Definitely going to try and pick these up.
Fuck so dope.

Man-o-man....damn, Chukkas for sure.

Cris.

my eyes are watery.... can't wait...

You know, the best part about this for me is that Brant and I talked about possible outcomes to another Wtaps release last time when the mids dropped, and I said that it'd be burgundy. I'm stoked to see I was right!

I bet you're right, Thane. They probably did scrap it since no one liked them. Personally, I would rock the 003 and 005 Slip Ons any day. I hope they use the same rubber compounds as the 005 and 006 releases. It's without a doubt the best quality, and it cleans up well every time. I'm concerned, though, that for some reason the toe looks to curl more than the previous releases, which could be because of a different type sole mixture. I hope they come in black boxes like the OG releases though. I'm looking forward to these!

I dig the tongue too, I hope they keep it. I think it represents the coming together of the two brands a lot better, and makes them a great piece to add to your collection.

I also really like that they took the writing off the Vans stripe along the Sk8 Hi, like in the 003 release. The writing is SICK, but to me the blank stripe is more iconic.
