Official Saucony Originals / Retro Thread

lol im trying to figure out where this pic came from!!!! 

 

[willmax14]

if they didn't want pics to be leaked why have it on display
it's 2015. i'm sure they realize camera phones and internet exist

Really......

 

[abx37]

wondering if its in china or someone has the sample in the states?

Haha word it's prob from China

I respectfully disagree. If the shoe is dope it will sell, period. Unless it's a leak of a shoe bomber wearing them or something, people won't just pass because a crappy pic was leaked early. If anything, it's just building hype and people will start getting anxious for the release, IMHO.

Yeah but it takes the air out of all the hard work and planning they had. If you design something, you want it to be display at your terms so it makes the best impression possible. the guys just feel really annoy that they leaked before the first release. West is not like RF and Concepts that drop 20 collabs in a year, they had 2 or 3 chances to build hype and promote the store and leaking crapping pics doesnt help the case.

But yeah good shoes sell anyways, those were my favorites since i first saw all the samples. Im glad they are finally dropping

Just passed by west, no one over there yet

 

[whoisthisguy]

This release is so strange. Like no info on an online drop there's like no hype what so ever for this collab.

 

[alp]

Yea hype or no hype ny cats love camping so would've thought at least one head would be over there or something

There will be online release. Just keep it locked on their ig for more info

I most def will

Was in west earlier. I really like em.   In hand better than the photos...opposite of the Fiegs...which were worse than the photos in hand.  

 

[jam3s121]

Anyone else see the teasers from universal works on their saucony collab? What model shoe is that?

That's a horrible past time lol. I just can't wait longer than 30 mins and even then it's painful.  Of course I'm not big city folk like you either. We didn't get crap for runners in Houston. In San Diego now, and they just opened a Bait and I think there may be another boutique or two. And I'm certainly not driving 2 hours to LA for some shoes if I know I could possibly strike out. Either way, I just can't hangout at a shop for hours on end. I don't know how y'all do it, honestly. Especially in the freezing *** cold. Y'all are troopers.

If we don't line up resellers will grab all of the stock.  Ever notice all those dudes with FSRs on the gram and the bay are from NYC?  

If we don't line up, thirsty bastards will take laps until everythings gone.  Kinda lame.  I was talking to a guy outside of a kith line once and i was like "how long you been into ronnie fiegs?"

And he was like "you mean ronnie ****?  In the bronx we don't rock runners."  A good chunk of the dudes in line have zero interest in the shoes dropping that day.  That's why I try to find the sleepers and ignore the hype releases.  Sometimes thats impossible, though, like these concepts diadoras.  Gonna be hell in a cell.

I understand why you all do it, I just couldn't do it myself. Beyond the cold, seems like there always is a knucklehead in line, too. Of course, I haven't had the luxury of having so many spots available to me either, so it's online or bust, and I'm used to it being that way. Hell, my friend waited in line longer than I would have for my Da Vinci's. I wouldn't even have bothered and he stood in line for like 2-3 hours, which seems like nothing to you guys. Pretty much a walk in the park.

Well, the picture is sick anyway.  That shoe will sell out, and it's looking mad dope.  

 

[professorqueens]

Smh always somebody gotta leak pics. Anyway they're dope

Remember when I said "there's a shadow 6k" then you said "it's not a 6k"

That's why.  I saw both pics and got em mixed up.  I'd seen em probably about 2 months ago but couldn't remember which was which.

I wonder who got the samples out of the store tho...

Da vincis are almost worth an overnight to me.  Almost.

Anyone hit West at 10? How was the line?

They are Shadow Originals

 

[jays25]

Still satisfied with this colorway.

 

[solefreedom1013]

I think I'm just going to wait for that second WestNYC colorway to drop. These for today look decent, but the other one are gotta haves.

Very dope in person tho. Materials are wild. Hard to describe

Nice! Thought I read somewhere about there being griptape on them somewhere? I guess kinda how most boats have that on the decks. Is that actually on the shoe?

 

[whoisthisguy]

Waiting for the online drop...
