Asics Love?!? Where is it?

St. Alfred's looking like $191 shipped...ouch...unless they offer free shipping for the release
 
This pic right here man. There are a few more. They were posted in this thread about a week or two ago. They suck compared to the kickslab promo pics... colors look ehh quilted sitching isnt finished and the glv lettering is bold. Really hope this isn't what production pairs look like.
I actually think they look great here
 
I'm diggin the St Alfred's. The CW goes with pretty much everything, and their goretex so you can rock in any type of enviornement. Would be kinda dumb to pass on them because their goretex but that's just my opinion.
I agree that the colorway is great, however, I completely disagree with your second point. My Bodegas make my feet sweat to no end. I can't even imagine wearing those in the summer. I only wear my goretex shoes outdoors. Even indoors they are way too warm for me.
 
Initial release is 21st. 5th is wider release but no mention of global or Asia exclusive from the sites I've checked.

ok, i must have just been mixing things up then :lol

that puts a little relief on me right now haha

I can agree. I copped the bodegas a half size smaller than my true size, so they do tend to sweat a little in the summer but I usually wear ankle socks with my kicks so it's limited. The st Alfred's don't really strike me as a summer shoe though.
 
Monkey Time questions answered.

Monkey Time Sand Layers drop this weekend (21st) at only select Monkey Time/Beauty & Youth stores in Japan. Online preorders will also ship out on the 21st.

December 5th is the wide release at more Beauty & Youth locations in Japan. If it plays out like the Light and Shadows, WW will be a few weeks/month or so after Japan release.

Monkey Time Light and Shadows came with only one pair of laces. At the early release in Japan, a few of the shops offered two pairs of 3M rope laces for free. One was black and one was grey, and you could choose either one. 

(My grey ones that I tossed in a pair of Saucony)

What size are you after again?

Just a heads up. There's 3 Beauty & Youth stores in Osaka. I know that the one in Grand Front Osaka connected to Osaka Station is actually one of the ones that is dropping this weekend...But they might get more on the 5th, and the other Osaka locations might get them, but not sure. Maybe you'll have to try the Kyoto store (less people as well)

When I was going for my Light and Shadows, I rocked up about an hour and a half before opening. I was second in line, and became good friends with the guy that was first in line haha. If you're after a size between 8-10, I'd get there an hour early just to be safe.
