Been following this model of shoe since they released it in Japan. I think they have an incredible design. More companies need to have forward thinking shapes rather than constantly retooling classics from the past.

Clearweather shoes have been around for a few years and started the offset laces with a fat piece of suede where people flick/slide their toe box. The fact that brands are starting to make shoes again with vertical lace loops rather than regular eyelets to save your laces should have never stopped after the 2000's

I used to play tennis and ran into the same problems of burning holes through my shoe as I did in skateboarding. When I switched to a TENNIS shoe I had no holes. As a skateboarder that's former tennis player I have been saying for years that Super Suede, Nubuck, Faux Lether and all that bullshit is nothing compared to the rubber guard on tennis shoes. I was hyped to see that add on on this model of Asics even tho I will still skate DC Lynx Zeros.

I have the slip on version of these. I would say the look is a lot more subtle especially in all black. I picked mine up at the Asics flagship store in Tokyo and the price was a bit more reasonable with the USD to Yen conversion right now. They've been my go to for everything the past few months even replacing my regular sneakers for walking around since they are so comfortable. The title of their debut video "Total Comfort" is the real deal. I was surprised by the amount of compliments at the park or just walking around in them. Sadly Asics hasn't brought the slip on to the states yet but hopefully they will at some point. I do plan on picking up the Gel Vikka Pro's since they looked really good in person and have a more timeless look.

So after skating them for a while I notice that the toe of the shoe has some extra length added on to it which I found kind of odd so maybe that why your shoes are wearing down at the toe. I couldn’t do my heelflip tricks for some reason but outside of that these shoes skated great. I personally can’t get behind the price though and I even got a hookup 20% off 🥲 it’s just too much for a shoe I don’t think looks good aesthetically.
