I tried them on at Maxfield. Even sizing 0.5 down, I had some heel slip because the ankle openings so huge. Didn't look good with the slim jogger pants I had on too, def need a more straight leg fit pants on the mocs.
Since this isn't a DRAW, do you not even get the "Didn't Get Em" message? It went from pending to sold out without any notification or popup. Coulda swore LEOs still let ppl know their L 3 different ways but I guess not.
Although I dont see anybody hitting Got Ems on twitter for the SHanghais
Unlikely. If you want it that dark, you'll probably need to just paint it. Or better yet, sell it and buy the triple blacks for the $150-200 difference. Custom shoes will never turn out as clean as the real deal if you're trying to go for an existing colorway.
Aftermarket prices in the long term have nothing to do with the marketing at launch. It has all to do with what Jerry does in the future and how much clout people associate with his name and his first major collab (aside from Vans)
How can a collaboration or shoe be fire and then garbage within 2-3 months? That's the attention span of the "culture" these days I guess. Virgil set the bar too high at 10 shoes releasing at once lol.
StockX pair has finally arrived. Should I bother putting sole protectors on these? The irregular shape of the outsole is gonna be super tricky to apply. But I've never spent so much on a shoe that I feel like I need to protect it but still want to wear it.

I was joking about how someone like J Lo getting a silhouette versus someone more established like Virgil. Hell, Jerry has all new silhouettes still in the pipeline.
