Stiff: yes
Plasticky: nah
Rough: Wear them, bud!
Mine feel amazing and the leather has softened up amazingly. They're crazy malleable to your foot when you start wearing them actively.
I honestly love doubling up on the 85's and wearing the 1st pair into the ground. I have so many memories attached to these shoes now.
You ever fought Cloud to take his Buster Sword? I have :rofl:
574's, I believe I got them that summer before freshmen year of college (20088))
Burnt orange, black, & gray pair. Copped for 28 bucks from the PX.
Pic circa 2008. It was raining and we were otw to the gym & pool.
Anyone in Chicago area know what type of heat the NB store and Outlets got out that way? I'mma be there for the Freddie Gibbs concert from the 18th-20th. Tryna see what the 2nd city has to offer!
Yeeeaaahhhh they gon need to go head an re-run White Cements next year or somethin. These are perfect and feel l super nice on foot! They actually feel like mid-tops again!
And bring back the Fire Reds 2026! :nerd:
The sad thing is this is true for evert shoe drop. People say resellijg is dead but if you're a sz 11+ its alive and well. Cant be waitin for pairs to hit a disco unless its somethin no one wants and even then.
I love mine and cant wait til they rerelease the white cements in this new mold, time is coming up on those dropping again. Idk when thy'll do Fire Reds.
Yep, the only criticism I saw from people was that the 2016's had "ballsack" leather which was really just tumbled and toe shape. Now dudes go crazy for soft materials with some tumbling present.
Store shipment arrived. My size secured.
These are butter! I got a personal score to settle with gettin these. Remember the 2012 Militaries being within my grasp but I was broke from payin bills and on bare necessity mode. I had to let em go. It was the last sz 13 at the PX too. :smh: but...
