IMO, these for $95 last week were >>>> Nigels
One of the best things about wearing 1s is how they change over time through wear. They're damn near perfection when new - crisp, clean lines and styling, and they have a really sharp shape to them. Then, over time all of that wears down, but the shoes take on a completely different character. The toebox flattens and wrinkles, side panels and heel crease, maybe even some scuffs, and they become one of the very few sneakers that still look great once they're beaters.
But trying to combine the clean build of a brand new 1 with the markings of a beater makes the whole thing incongruent. If intended as an art piece (like a comment on old & new at once), I'd get it, but as a wearable style piece I think it just looks, well... bad.
Still disappointed my man @theltrain wasn't able to get them, tho.

Agree on this being a great shoe. Sure, not a classic. But I love blue, and I love the materials. Double upped for under $200.IMO, these for $95 last week were >>>> Nigels

And you’ll probably never wear the second pair. Hell, you probably won’t touch the first pair much either.

Yeah, they had every size when I copped. I bought those and the Legacy 312 Billy Hoyle's. Two shoes together that came out cheaper than one Nigel Sylvester 1.
