Zoo York in Canada
The Zoo York team made up of Chaz Ortiz, Brandon Westgate, Anthony Shetler, Eli Reed, and Aaron Suski have all been documented from their recent trip to Canada. Watch footage here.
This might get confusing.
The “Shambles” is a combination of Geoff Rowley’s former Pro Models, his first pro shoe on Vans, the “OG Rowley” and “the Sham“, which itself was a reworking of the Half Cab.
A lightweight low profile classic looking shoe, the most famous Vegan hunter in skateboarding’s 8th Vans pro model, the Shambles are quite similar to his previous offerings: they are light, padding is kept to a minimum and they are grippy with great board feel. Unfortunately, like all Rowley models I have had, their synthetic Vegan uppers dont last as long as you might like but I would imagine to your garden variety treehugger, that’s a small price to pay knowing that you haven’t peeled a cow for your footwear.
Visually they owe a lot more to the Originals than the Shams, which is definitely not a bad thing as I always thought the Shams looked secondary to the Classics as they had a much classier appearance and in my opinion were the better looking of the two.
Another thing in their favour is that unlike the Originals that I had a few years ago, which looked rad but, being Synthetic “Leather” they hardly lasted a month of half assed mobflipping, the Shambles I got were Synthetic Suede, which appears to be holding up a lot better. Although if your skating is flip heavy I would probably look for something made out of real leather.
In conclusion: a smart looking shoe that would be perfect as a pub chiller or if you are more into skating ramps. Maybe try Halfcabs or TNT’s if you want the classic styling but a bit more longevity but other than that they were a pretty solid shoe and definitely worthy of your feet this winter.
8/10
(These would easily be a 9 if they were real leather)
