regular sole is better than vulcanized one?

yes, it is.
and its just one strap from being great.

“and its just one strap from being great.”

So true, but it looks like Lotek are making sweet shoes again though.

chase dehart is my favorite rider but i didnt liked the old shoe… this is much better..

fucking bullshit. i bought the red/black ones and they SUCK and this is all i really wanted and they release them now. bring the strap back and get at me.

FUCK ME!!!!! I wish I didn’t just buy the first version

fuck yeah they finally listened, those soles are perfect.

USE MORE C D C to INCREMENT WEB TRAFFIC TO YOUR MOTHER !

The “old” one? Didn’t they just come out like maybe two months ago? Damn. I bought the Ian’s and hate riding in them. Good thing I have some nice Orchids.

i’ve had both soles from lotek and theese ones are far better, it seems that lotek comes back to do good things

doesn’t chase ride for vans? how does this work out?

chase dehart doesnt

discussion: what does the ‘D’ in chase d stand for?

sorry i was too lit to think haha.

ccchaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, stoked on the non vulcanized soles, im was hoping they were going to bring them back

is it too hard to make black soles?

Chase Hawk rides for Vans.

WTF how on earth has he got his own shoe?!!
he’s a good rider but sorry he dont deserve his on frame and shoes!!

pine tree obviously sucks dick at marketing. chase is the coolest shit out right now in the eyes of the kids so they give him signature stuff. it SELLS

Thank you rich for realizing we aren’t skateboarders that like vulcanized soles, now bring back the throwbacks please

non vulc sole is da fucking bomb, thanks rich

How is the fit/lotek shoe working out if Robo works for Vans/Rides for them?I may be wrong

good call that would be the shit

it aint 2001 anymore bro

vulcs are sweet grippy and flexy usually. the etnies vulc sole is dope but yeah they dont last for shit. lotek stitched sole on these and the nightwolfs is great though definately something that never needed done away with

So his ‘signature’ shoe comes with a choice of soles – surely he has a preference? I mean, I know he clearly stated before that he didn’t like vulcanised soles and that’s why he tried to avoid wearing the newer shoes because he didn’t like them, but surely Lotek could’ve carried on that lie a bit longer to squeeze a bit more money out of the BMX world? Maybe that’s why they waited ’til the Chase shoes had dropped with the vulc sole for a while so they could maximise profits…

they are the same non-vulcanized sole that they have always had

I took want a black sole

what the shit? i just wasted $59 on the old ones and then these come out a couple of days later why didn’t they just make them like this in the beggining

Some all leather throwbacks in all black would be the shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes obv i suck, dick sorry im not an marketing genius such as yourself.
But how the hell is he so cool hes jus a emo fashion rider, how awsome it must be to be him..

vulc’ed shoes are for kids in pants that in 2 more years will look just as ridiculous as jnco’s… bmx needs solid footwear, function over fashion, this isn’t the runway…

[...] other new Loteks that have showed up online are the Chester Blacksmith Troops and the new Chase D shoes. Lotek / Terry Adams May 27th, 2009 Respond Close this [...]

vulc soles grip like a hotdog down a hallway—-

i had the ones with the old soles.
there pretty crap tbh.
completely died in 2 months.
hopefully these ones will be better when they come out.
