According to the new Five Ten / Adidas website they now offer only 7 climbing shoes in their line....

Quantum, Anasazi VCS, Anasazi Lace, Verdon VCS, Moccasym, Gambit VCS Womens, Gym Master.

Wow.     http://www.adidasoutdoor.com/sports-climb

1-19-18 EDIT: UPDATE they now show 19 or 20 models...

Lots of changes, but the site isn't updated yet. Here you go: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/114018375/five-ten-anasazi-blancos-have-been-discontinued-again

Oh, good...at least they’re keeping the Teams and Dragons.  That was a major wtf moment when it looked like they were gone.  The Quantum VCS looks like a badass aggressive shoe, kind of reminds me of Evolv Shamans.

Considering fiveten just released several new models in both approach and climbing (since adidas purchased them) it's highly unlikely they are making only those models. My guess is that they will slowly start adding them to the brand new website OR worst case scenario, offer select shoes on their website and the rest will be sent to distributors.

Also keep in mind their are several new models that were shown at OR that are not out yet that they would not have already nixed. Since adidas has purchased 5.10 I, personally, have only seen an increase overall (synthetic hiangles, non foot staining hiangles, urban approach line, and access approach line have all gotten good reception I think).

Disappointed that the Moccasym is still offered. It is the worst shoe I have ever climbed in.  I need to remember to take it back to REI once it blows out.

How did you size them?

Excited that the Moccasym is still offered. It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever climbed in and love it for cracks and long easy/moderate climbs. I need to remember to take it back to my local head shop/dispensary once it blows out.

Fixed it for you.

Adidas finished getting rid of all the old higher level five ten employees, the whole operation will probably be moved offshore soon. They don't care about the climbing shoe line. Look how many MTB shoes they make. 

If by offshore you mean all design and development to Europe...they already did that at the end of summer.

Manufacturing on the CLIMBING shoes is still being finished in the USA (with the exception of the rental stuff if I remember right).

I think we are freaking out a little too soon. They have 20 climbing shoe size listed on their site now, and I just heard from someone who works at five Ten that they are still shipping rubber to resolers.

Still shipping C4, so no rubber for Dragons or Teams goin out and I think its only 5mm C4 which is pretty damn thick.

teams are on the new adidas website but not the dragons. would be interesting to see what takes their place.. hopefully an updated dragon with a less baggy heel?

I heard they aren't sending sheets of stealth rubber to resolers anymore.  Can anyone confirm/deny?

Ted Pinson · · Chicago, IL · Joined Jul 2014 · Points: 252

Deny.  There have been reports that they have stopped sending Onyxx and HF, but C4 is in full force.

As of today, Rock and Resole is unable to order C4, we were told that 5.10 rubber is no longer available for resoling.  We have taken all 5.10 options down from our web site.  There does still seem to be some confusion and we are hoping that decision is reversed - soon!  Maybe a word or 2 from the climbing community might help to sway them?

We are testing some other rubber options that are stickier than the Vibram line up.  We'll keep you posted.

Shit!  That sucks!  Thanks for the update.  Pretty freaking unbelievable.

Why the hell do they need 3 beginner shoes?  The Wall Master, Gambit, and Rogue seem super redundant, especially since they’re the same price.  Just stick with the Rogues and ditch the ugly POS’s and bring back the Whites!

@MrZ : Fall catalogue includes the Anasazi Pro, shown at OR, but that's it.  The rest of the line has been chopped.  Check the Spring 2018 catalogue I posted.

Only new model I see in your link is the new Quantums VCS...no anasazi pros....Also see4 models of Anasazi's, so not sure where the discrepancies are but its a transition phase on the website right now. I wouldn't panic yet

Thanks for the primary source info.  I'm super bummed about it and know I'm not alone.

Here's the contact info Adidas has listed on their website.  I'll be giving them a call tomorrow and encourage others to do the same, whatever your issue.
