Checked them out at Snipes last night (they're 150 euros in Germany--still cheaper to order from the States online and wait for the shipping) and the suede is pretty nice (still not as nice as Nubuck, but nice enough), but I wasn't thrilled with the varsity red...just like I've never been...
I can't vouch for the shipping, but Snipes is the real deal. I live in Stuttgart, Germany and they have a store on the main high-end shopping street here.Prices are on the high end--usually 200 euro per release--but they're legit. Got True Blue IIIs there. Take it for what it's worth.
In my opinion, these are the most under-rated colorway of the most under-rated J's ever. Seriously--people still wear teal and purple Grapes and AquaVIIIs with the corny Geo Tracker splash grafitti, but bust on these?
Anyway, the fusion debacle has to end. It's ok to be out of ideas, JB...
They all suck. If they can't come up with any new ideas then just come clean and say "we did our best for as long as we could, but all things mustcome to an end." I mean, I can't go to work and just slap together bits and pieces of the best of my old reports and projects and try to pass it offas...
Love the IXs--most underrated Js in my opinion. The XIVs are pretty worthless. Maybe I'll have a son some day and he'll be stoked to find them in acloset or something. I have to say the whole pack concept is pretty stupid--forcing most people to drop 3 bills for just one pair they actually...
Stayed out too late to buy online. Stopped by a FL in N. Virginia around noon, not expecting anything, but I grabbed the last pair of FR 11s. I still can't figure out why they used such a dark elephant print, but it's better than nothing and as close as I'm gonna get to OG colorway.
If I were him I'd be worried too. Post-XI signature shoes are garbage, and there are some downright ghastly Brand releases (like those green TG4 monstrosities for next month). The only reason I'm here, and I suspect I'm not alone, is for I-XI retros that are as close to OG as possible. JB can...
Baggin it. Just have to cross my fingers and hope my finishline order doesn't get cancelled because I'm sure not getting up in 3 hours to stand in line. Good luck, fellas.
And just got off the phone with Footlocker....smallest size is 13.5. So much for these being easy to get. Nice call, jokers.
...bring that beat back...
Kicks-R-Us jacked up the price $20 since yesterday. I contemplated buying them at $150, since nobody seems to have many of these, even though people keep saying not to worry, they're a GR, there will be plenty. I thinks it's gonna be hard to find these without showing up way early on...
