I think that is the same sole we have in 80's. Could be slightly different though.

In fairness the photo posted is the worst angle out of the ones on hypebeast, which I didn't look at before.
I retract my outrage/Pocheese/genius remark.
Alongside that jacket they make more sense, not convinced though by any means.

Yeah it's the 80's style sole and shell toe. I like the sort of Stan Smithish sides on them, but all in all they're ugly to me.

I have to agree with the consensus thus far, not a good look. Although I'm not a snowboarder, so maybe there's something about these I don't see?

You'd think that with white toes and sole and brown and orange, they'd be on to perfection.
But no.
I can't bear to log on to this site very often now. It just upsets me.

I keep looking at those brownies and trying to sort out what I dislike about them. I've narrowed it down to two possible points:
1. The lack of actual stripes on the sides.
2. The missing material wear the laces thread through.
Still can't say for sure. Though in person they may be the bee's knees.

I've been doing the same thing doku. I too have also narrowed it down to two possible points:
1. They look fuckin wank
2. The person who designed them performs sex acts on animals.
Still can't say for sure...

I guess that explains the brown streamlined shape of them.
