I thought for sure they would hold back on Burgs and Olives in a deliberate move to keep some ultra rare UB's. This is good news. How they approach release quantities will be very interesting.
I found my Avenue leather 93/16s disappointing in that the leather just never softened up like I thought it would. Not sure if others found that, but it left me underwhelmed. I did purchase at massive disco though.
Cheap Saikou. Extra 10% off with code LP-10. That would drop them down to about $215 USD.

Still sizes left for very cheap Lux if anyone's looking. I actually really like the Lux, if they realeased 6 months earlier they would have sold out everywhere.

Solebox Pure Boost also...
Great pick up. I always thought these were really nice, so surprised they have sat. I feel if they released 12 months earlier they would have gone instantly.
So nice. The blue tint air bag looks good. My dream scenario is that everyone has spent their money and hype on ultramarine's, these hit discount at some future point, and I can buy multiple beaters for the next few years!
No Sh*t. These are almost 30 years old. The sole is not comfortable by modern shoe standards, and it's kind of silly to even make that comparison. But they are great for their day, and the upper is very comfy.
It definitely won't happen, but I could go a pair of these. Circa 2011 from memory. Seems like whenever they've done a leather 180 the result has been unreal (opium etc). The Atomic Mangos were pretty cool too.
Haven't worn 180's for about 5 years since I trashed my old pair. Things I'd forgotten in that time:
- Sole is way less comfortable than you expect to be (maybe too much time for me in boost/newer shoes in recent years)
- I forgot how seriously comfortable/cosy the 180 upper is.
- I forgot how...
Agreed. Opium's had leather on the uppers right, and they look awesome. I would have thought something like that was a no brainer for a 'premium' colab.
Package just arrived form social status. Definitely TTS. No obvious defects so quality is fine (for an inherently lower quality retro).
I think price on these was a little high, but they're one of my all time favourite shoes so I'll pay the money and beat them bad.
