Something for Cast 2 fans...Avalon Repair. These are based on a pair of Avalons I wore down and had repaired in Japan...then they used it for reference. Coming soon!

Avalon was one of my favorite cast 2. Just fits too snugged in my tts. Yo Mike, not sure if I’m missed it but are the cast 2 fit updated?

I had the same issue and wondering the same. That top block on the avalons was unwearable for me in my TTS. Sized up the bottom half was too sloppy for my liking .

RE: the cast 2 fit being updated.. I could be tripping but the new re-release of the Sahara cast 2 look looser on the JE models and stockists.. were they cut with a little more room this go round? @MIKE_JE

People had luck with shrinking their Folsom thermals with a hot wash/hot dry right?

I remember some convos about it, but not sure if anyone was actually successful with it. If it doesn’t worked, how significant was the shrinkage?


Yeah I’ve mentioned it a few times, hot wash and an hour in the dryer on hot worked amazingly.

You are still getting the whole footwear program! And believe me, I want to release them ASAP. The factory is shut down from positive COVID exposures, so we are leading with what we have - and in my opinion Shark is a very strong offering. Literally nothing we can do until they reopen. I don't have answers for you yet lol.
I love shark lol, I have the 1.0s though so I’d rather mix it up this time.

thank you!

The fit is updated so they aren't as tight and are more standard, they are more tts now whereas before, especially those new to the brand, found they had to size up on some.

Yeah these new sharks are so good. @MIKE_JE is the sole new? Do they fit the same as 1.0?

Fit is the same. John and the team updated the custom sole in Italy so that there's no longer a leather rand (folded leather style lines) around the sole, now it's injection molded. It feels like the same weight, but sportier.
