Ronnie's twitter says the wcp collection will be sold exclusively at the pop up shop. So no shoes online?

I agree with you. I think most of his older stuff didn't have great story either.
Most of the recent kicks that I've seen came with a minimal story or no story at all.
Concepts "Luxury Goods"- most unoriginal story ever.
Concepts "Blow"- ripoff of the story and to a certain extent the colorway from the King Push EQTs
Invincible Pump Furys- A scarf? Really?
Diadora x Packer "Azzuri"- Italian colors for an Italian shoe. Shocker.
Sneakersnstuff Pump Furys- Just Knicks colors again
Fieg "New York Natives" Pony- Red for the sake of red.
Wings + Horns x New Balance- Black and white because...well it's black and white
Bait EQT Support "Big Apple"- Another New York shoe. I live in NY and I'm tired of NY shoes
The only really original concepts behind collabs were the Fieg landmarks, as mentioned, those LimitedEditions Gel Lyte 5s (Dali was an awesome idea), the Burn Rubber Vernors cans, and the Extra Butter "Street Meat" Ventilator. Most of the good releases had "boring" concepts behind them, but flawless execution. Give me those Azzuris over the Ginger Ale cans any day.
In conclusion, the shoe looks great, so the fact that its not that original doesn't bother me. It works. He could have just called them "Navy Gel Sights" and I'd still like them.
Just bumped into Ronnie Fieg for the first time at Kith- went out of his way to smile at me and wave while I was browsing. Not sure why everyone comes at him with all of the trolling talk seems like a decent enough dude. In fact, seemed way less arrogant than his own employees...ironic.
these are really nice imo.. only thing I don't like is the kith stamp on the back as mentioned but not like you're gonna see it
no.
Damn Ronnie straight up missed a lay up in the lay up drill with this WCP
I legit spent 5 minutes in photoshop and created somethin better than this clown
My rendition of the WCP '49ers'. 2 iterations. Of course made with premium materials
says exclusively at the pop-up this weekend. they'll probably release online within the next two weeks, like how the KFE collection last year dropped a week and a half early at the Brazil pop-up.Ronnie's twitter says the wcp collection will be sold exclusively at the pop up shop.

The color blocking on the middle of the shoe is throwing me off. Just looks kinda funny.
here's another shot:
lookbook comes out at 10am est.
thats what i was leaning towards too. im not gonna get both, colorways are literally the same just different color blockings.
I think I prefer the all navy version posted originally.
Prefer the all blue one we've seen earlier. Not feeling this one. At all.
