I dunno. I'm not sure if I'll be wearing them too often. I was thinking about the SB's to use for winter but I think I'll stick with winter boots during snow storms. haha...

if I do pick up some, it'll be some neutral colors. I was just about to hit the purchase button at FNL last night for a 9.5 Purple pair but I got cart jacked. wasn't meant to be. looking for a local FNL that has them so I can try some on in person.

I know how you like your lunar1/lunar2's so you'll have the same experience with these, just cut a little higher. Looks cool with shorts and you can wear ankle socks and they won't show. I have a couple of pairs of the FSB's (one USA edition), the fogs, uni reds and bright crimson's

Since you were thinking about the SB's here is the cheapest that gusmq gusmq posted for $99

You'll want to do one full size lower on them though, fyi. So if your a size 10 then get a size 9, or a half size smaller depending on your preference, but for me I went a full size down. This is only in regards to the FSB though!

Nice. I remember going back and forth between these and the mango v2 Roshes because of the similar colorways. At the time $170 vs. $70 was a no brainer but now i regret getting the Roshes
I was able to grab them under retail thanks to this thread last summer. Only Lunar sole I own, unfortunately I can't wear them longer than a few hours as I find the sole highly uncomfortable. I love the show though.
 
How was this managed? Midnight Fogs died black?
[

No clue...just came across this on tumblr...neo turqs seem right though
just paint the check I guess and cut the fly wire
If anyone tries this out though let us know I would def do the same thing
 
Where can I get 8.5/9 chukkas in all black/all red/all white for retail?? anything solid and that is versatile is what I'm looking for.

That's interesting because I can go all day on the lunar sole and feel great
 
What's a fair price for the Tarp Green joints? Mad late on those, but now that the garbage *** Free sole is in effect, I need to snatch up a pair before prices go even higher.
 
If only the Lunars had the cw of these Frees.. I would be in debt.

PLEASE, bring back the lunar soles Nike.

^ Good lookin out. Since these retail so high, I was guessing $220-$250 was gonna be the going rate. Should've jumped on them earlier. :{

Yah I have a lot of "should've"s with the chukkas. Got onto them real late and missed out on the earlier colorways.
At least you can find your size.. No 14s anywhere
$210 resale isn't bad taking tax and shipping on a $170 shoe into consideration.

Yeah I actually checked them out in-store when they first dropped and loved them, but never bit.  I'm not about that $170+ MSRP life, but in retrospect, def should've grabbed a few choice pairs while I could. 

Damn, size 14?  That has gotta suck man.  And I thought the occasional 11.5 I need were hard to find.

Ya it sucks especially with the NSW releases for which a lot of shoes only go up to a 13.
Couldn't find a single size 14 in the wolf greys despite all those outlets getting them.
