Thanks! 🙏👍

Not about Sole Tech getting bought out. iPath I did hear about.

I'd honestly prefer if we got a TRUE reissue of these Rowleys. They are super slimmed down compared to the OG ones from 1999. Even the 2013 reissue was chunkier. Watch "Behind the design Geoff Rowley" you can see how chunky the OG one was. That's the actual Rowley shoe I want. The way it was in 1999

I want the grey ones. Other skate shops like CCS and Tactics have the grey ones.

Thanks man. I do it just to get talk started on the late 90's to early 2000's era of skate started. Lol

Yeah. I had been wanting a pair of New Balance # 480 for a bit. I'm glad I went with the Reynolds colorway. This is definitively the Nike Dunk of New Balance.

I have a bunch of new balance New Balance # in my collection.

I still remember me skating the OG 2001 Black/Royal Blue colorway. Wearing out within a week sounds about right. Materials are the same as back then. The XLTs didn't really last long back then and just by the material they're using, the time frame the guy at the skatepark gave you seems about correct.

Lol. These are awesome! Love these.

Lol. I gotta try to get the other colorways

I went up half a size for these. TTS for me is 9.5. I bought a size 10.

Great they only had 11 and that’s my size

So how did they fit n your size 11 ? Did you return them ?

They actually fit good. One of the tongues had a defect and the shape was all off. Can’t find them anywhere in 11 for under $200.

Currently wearing them. Comfortable and broke in really quick. I think the heat helped with that though. Lol

Yup. I would say true to size.

I got these for two reasons, Reynolds is one of my all time favorite pros and I missed the brown color way. Lol

Yup. Looks like they're treating him right also. The Reynolds 1 are the #1 reissue that I want. I loved the Reynolds 1 when I had them in high school.

Lol

I haven't seen these on the Vans site. Some colorways are only available through skate shops. These might be on there later, but I really don't know.

The sizing would be the same as the OG release back in 2009ish. The one, to the right, that I have are wider. The ones to the left are more true to the original ones.

@@fastvr693 ok thank you, i ordered size 9 same with my old janoskis, i hope it will fit to my feet with no problem

Like I said, for me, it's a welcomed change. Not all the latest reissue have been a home run, you know. We gotta take what we can. I'd rather have this than not at all. To each their own. I'm also just happy to have the XLTs back. I've been wanting more XLTs since I had them back in 2001. Lol

I think any vans shoe is unisex. If you go on the Vans website I believe they give you shoe size for men and women

@@fastvr693 ooh okay thank you

I never owned the XL3s. I wouldn't mind having a pair.

The ones on the right are not the original ones that released in 2009. The ones on the right are the ones that were released after those. They made them more wide fitting. I didn't like those. The new ones feel more like the OG did. I wish I had a pair of the actual OG ones, but I skated all the pairs I had.

The Two Nine 8 are True to size. I also had to size up for the Creagers. Same size too. The Two Nine 8a feel good true to size.

@@fastvr693 thanks mas rrallu appreciate it!!

Those are the only laces they come with fortunately. I have spare oval laces all over the place though. Lol

Yeah. I still remember the commercial in 411VM for the other rides shoes like the Santos. Also had a similar vibe. That's why I got these..

@@fastvr693 the trench was one of only a few shoes i liked so much i got back-to-back. also etnies mc rap in the jordan colorway red/blk/wht leather, and es koston one - several colorways. i liked the sporty look of shoes of that era, they really are/were purpose built athletic shoes and some brands leaned into it more than others, sometimes bordering on the absurd.

These are much l snug on me. If you want the room, go up half a size

There is a separate video of just the shoe. Lol. 😁👍

Same for me. Except I had the XLTs when they first released. I did want the Rowley pros back then. Really liked those.

No. I would go up half a size.

I wear size 10 n Es creager white /blue , and they fit perfect. So based on that info should i still go half size up? Thanks!!

Yeah. Go up half a size.

Thanks man ,

I like the snug fit , should still go half size up?

Lol

I know what you mean, but we gotta take what we can. 🫤

I haven't bought any Janoski since the black ones. Although, once broken in, they are pretty comfortable.

Yup. I've always worn my shoes this way. Ever since I got my first skate shoes in the late 90's. I forgot how cool these are after the late 2000's when all the skate shoes were slimmed down. I get it. Giving up protection for board feel, but I've always loved the 90's to early 2000 skate shoe look.

@@fastvr693What size are these Lynx, I can't make them look like that and I like them

One of the coolest colorways that the OG 2001 XLTs surprisingly did have. Lol

Yeah. These are sick. I like the latest colorway as well.

I can probably still find these. Might even find them on sale.

Yeah. Really good looking, clean shoe. Hopefully we get other coloreays

Yeah. I'm glad I went with this colorway

No. They're glued in place.

I got these between the recent releases and champions ones.
