Ok, thanks.
I hope there's a way to get the press release version. I need that version. Not feeling the purple shozoku version.

Welcome to the club. I didn't like the Red Camos but when I saw them in person, easy copped. I gave the blue corals a chance but it didn't do anything for me and supernaturals were a pass. I buy what I like and don't give a **** what other peeps wants to label me.Guess I'm a hypebeast as well.
I didn't even like the ASG at first, but after owning multiple pairs of 8's and realizing how comfortable they are, I kinda just started buying them all.
So when I had the chance to buy ASG's for retail, it was an easy decision.
They kinda do look like those orange swirl ice pops, though,

Not calling anyone out, but in general it's funny to me when dudes call each other hypebeasts for liking one limited colorway over the other limited colorway that they like 
Unless you literally only buy GRs and absolutely nothing else, you can't really talk IMO.
And with the way they drop colorways these days, most things aren't totally hype free anymore anyway. Hell even GRs get some random *** nicknames to build anticipation (Weren't the Volts called the Naturals? The **** kinda nickname is that?). They make so many limited colorways now (Xmas, ASG, BHM, Easter, China/YOTS, whatever) that you're bound to probably like one of them. What are you gonna do, not cop something limited that you really like cuz you don't wanna be called a hypebeast? Honestly who the hell cares, just buy what you like and keep it moving, hype or no hype. I personally don't give a crap what another dude wears if he likes them.
And I always thought hypebeast was a name for somebody who bought things only cuz they're popular, not cuz he actually liked them. If you actually like the limited shoe for what it is, I see no problem why you shouldn't cop. These days hypebeast is just being used like a word to call somebody simply if you don't like what they like Gets thrown around a bit too loosely IMO.

Good thought Wayne141
When I think of a hypebeast I think someone who buys a shoe because it's popular, hyped, or to take photos for recognition
Hypebeast definitely gets thrown around too loosely IMO

Very well said. if I went out and bought a pair of kobes because it was the hottest thing out there and not because I personally wanted them then I believe that's a hypebeasts. But me buying a pair of Kobe's that I wanted from the get go? There's nothing wrong with that.Not calling anyone out, but in general it's funny to me when dudes call each other hypebeasts for liking one limited colorway over the other limited colorway that they like

Not sure if this has already been posted or not. In regards to people wondering about the purple, green glow, red rasp or something like that. Here is something to think about, remember the Kobe 6 Chaos? That year Kobe wore them around this time when he played the Blazers in Portland and that time is coming up again.
On another note that pair he wore against the Orlando Magic, kind of take me back to the greatest shoe era (the 90's) with that white midsole.

im assuming thats what they are. just about everday last week, bout mid morning they would put up a size or two back on the site. I got mine ordered on sat. got the word there was a 9.5 on the site, an hour later got home went on their site, still on there, added to basket and checked out. Will be here saturday. this will make my 5th pair in a week. had to settle for the sports back, but retail is retail.

You can wait all you want, they are drying up in most areas. And if you want to be a OG like your post stated, that pair should already have been copped
