I want 2 peerrr

 

[DanDecs]

Need more links for the white ATC3 looking for a 10.5, I'm not waiting for the price to drop, feels like these are the Wimbledon 3s like how the pinstripes are pretty much the French Open 2s and were limited

I understand your concern and might cop early myself just to have them, but these will almost certainly be a very easy cop in the end. And are definitely not the Wimbledon 3. The Pinstripes were designated PA and made with premium materials and even then weren't a hard cop for a "limited" shoe. A yeezy soled shoe at that. They may not have made as many iiis as they would for a GR ATCii but the demand is also guaranteed to be far less. Even many of the people interested in OG iiis won't be going for the whites.

 

[ARK]

Agreed. No one knows a damn thing for release dates. The white 3s are showing up now in But not US. SC doesn't mention the whites but says the black denim volt pair should be releasing soon.

 

[kb24strikesagain]

The III's will not be hard to get.

 

[DanDecs]

But I need those white ATC3's while Wimbledon is going on this year. Makes me feel closer to Andre [emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[Sinner]

I wish they'd release a proper all-white version... none of that icy-sole nonsense.  The flaming ball wasn't even yellow back then! 

 

[britkicks]

I'm pretty confident I will pick up those 3s on sale. Every 2 went on sale in UK except GS pack

 

[ARK]

I want to pick up another pair of Blk/Wh Flares and possibly get the all black Flares on sale. Another ATC4 low on deep discount and I wouldn't mind the ATC2 liquid Limes.

Well said, I feel like you can never tell with Nike. You never know where the sneaker distribution level until after the smoke clears. Sunset glow & limes only went to NDC and boutique stores. Still an easy cop but I don't think we'll be seeing them at the outlets for $40. With Wimbledon being next week and these being all white like Wimbledon tradition, coincidence? I Think not. Also with the "Pinstripe PA" matching Agassi's French Open outfit exactly 20 years ago, View media item 1596036only thing it's missing is a title from Nike saying its a slam shoe or an SP on the box. Nike just does whatever it wants but it makes for good convo

 

[ARK]

I crashed and burned too.

 

[ARK]

Mmmm look at this pic..

 

[mvplikekobe24]

Lookin so crisp. If i strike out on the 1's this weekend, then i may make moves on the white pair. And by if I mean when

 

[vig09]

View media item 1596054
Just came in from kicksusa for $63

 

[ARK]

What is everyone's thought on the black/teal flares - anyone going to get them? Lowest price I've seen so far is $89.

The glows/limes can be found in several sizes on ebay right now for under retail, though for closer to $70-100 than $40, and partial-to-full size runs have been popping up for retail or under since they dropped.

And while it may or may not be a coincidence, I think the iiis are missing a little more than the designation. Yes the pinstripes' inspiration was obviously his outfit from the 95 open just as the French open SP design was copied from his 90 open gear and the Wimbledon 2 colors came from the Royal Box, Centre Court, etc. But the white iiis don't fit the pattern. Agassi Never wore anything yellow, silver, or ice blue at Wimbledon that I can remember. And the colors don't correspond to the club or the tournament either.

So because they lack the obvious influence, premium craftsmanship/materials, and the limited designation that the SPs and PAs had, I think they probably simply intended to put out the white iiis for summer (just like the white/lime iis) and the cycle time happened to put the shoes nicely in line for a release around Wimbledon.

 

[johngotty]

Saw the Flares in person on Sunday. Is the toebox supposed to be that hard or is the quality of leather used?

 

[vinsanity]

 
These dropped here if you feel like grabbing them now

This isn't a OG color way is it??

This. 

They will be just like the last go around.

Me too. Someone has to pay retail so they'll keep dropping pairs
