I wonder how many pose for the IG angle and then change their look. I tried the pinroll once, even loosely, and immediately felt like I was wearing denim balloon pants.
Check out Oneness287. They have a size run with 30% off at the moment. Code is ONENESS30. I've been tempted to pick these up ever since I saw the product shots, but just haven't pulled the trigger.
I bought the salmon toe RF TTS and my toes touch the end of the shoe. I'm eyeing up the Bodega or Patta Gel Mai, but if I do get another it'll definitely be .5 size up.
I didn't dig into the insanity that is ebay; this was just StockX. I made 1 sale on ebay back in 2012 with 5/5 feedback and they banned me from selling counterfeit goods. Needless to say, I knew since then shady **** was ebay's forte.
I get it a little more with this being said. I guess part of it has to do with me not being all that jazzed about the color way in general. To each their own and I hope everyone on here looking to get a pair is able to and for a more reasonable price than what's already been posted.
The last 5 sales on the original Kennedy release were $1,000+. I wasn't into NBs at all when these originally came out, but was there an enormous amount of hype or a crazy story behind them? I get the hype around Jordans or other Nikes that have a lot of history behind them (for some), but 1k...
For me, TTS would have been the way to go. I went half size down and I have to take the insole out if I'm going to be wearing them for any real amount of time. $109 is a steak for these. I was really impressed with them in hand.
Hanon, Sneaker Politics, End, SNS, Overkill all have them up at the moment, most with countdowns. I've seen various things from Up There, 24 Kilates, and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. It's safe to say I've been keeping an eye on these since I missed them the first time around.
Well, damn. These just became a must cop. I already have a pair of CNS, but I have a feeling these will be getting more wear. This colorway really compliments the silhouette.
If anyone's interested, I'm trying to unload a couple pair of Arias and a pair of Fusion 2.0, all size 8.5, for cheap. All three pair of have been worn lightly one time. Shoot me a message and I can give more details and pictures.
Granted, most mai collabs I've see aren't very appealing. But the white/salmon RFs and the HAL that just came out I'm feeling. If the HAL hit disco I'll happily scoop them up.
Wow, these are amazing. Edit: totally misread your post the first time. Thanks for the write up and pics! Definitely more excited for these than I originally was.
I can only speak to the 998 bring back, but they are easily one of my favorite pairs. Quality is top notch, shape is great, and they continue to look good as they age IMO. I'm considering picking up more bring back pairs to go with my 998, 996, and 585.
On the inside of the tongue in one of their horrible product shots there is a mention of being made for the modern gentleman. Not sure what that's about nor the obvious original gentleman's pack vibe.
