hey guys, just a quick update from my side of the earth...
went by the 1love shop sunday. guys there said they expect these to drop in the US. the only question is when (most likely pretty soon) and where. again, retail here in japan is about $160 (tax included), so retail price on these in the states should be around $150 + tax. stock at the 1love store is running low.
as far as the black and tan versions, they're scheduled to drop at the 1love store around the end of this month. sorry for not having any definite answers for all you in the states, but at least there's a good chance for you guys that "have to have" these to cop.
personally, i love the rolled edges. i know they aren't in true retro af1 form, but i really appreciate cleanliness and uniqueness they bring to the shoe. picked up a pair of the navy blue's for a fellow shoehead. the more i look at them, the more i want a pair too, hahaha.
