** The Diadora Thread ** - Concepts "Rat Pack" N9000

[VegetableLasagna]

 
Wrong.  Wrong.  So incredibly wrong.  Now, I know I'm likely going to get flamed for this, but I really don't see what it is about the SS that has everyone so drunk on the kool-aid.  Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad shoe by any means, but I can't see why it's so revered.  Someone in the know, please school me.  Dope materials, quality craftsmanship, and respect for Hanon as a collaborator aside, what makes the SS so appealing?  Nostalgia?  It certainly can't be the aesthetic because, IMO that burgundy/oxblood is terribly out of place.  Clash-tastic even.  Transit is so much smoother and coherent, all things considered.  For my taste, the Espresso Ristretto is still the best N9000 for appearance sake.    

Don't get me wrong, these two are the best one-two punch thus far. When I look at this side by side shot, I do get what you mean - colors flow extremely well in the transit ii's. But I am a sucker for burgundy and strongly disagree that the colors clash, yea the two dominating color palettes are more contrasting in the saturday special - but that doesn't mean they don't work incredibly well together! 

And both absolutely kick *** in terms of craftmanship. 

(side note: the person on the right better be a woman)

If I had the dough to get every collab, mitas would absolutely be copped.

ill trade you my ds pair for those flamingos in your sig!

Transit II has to be the ugliest colorway out of all the diadoras even the GRs. I wouldn't even buy them on clearance. My personal ranking is

1. SNS
2. Italia
3. Ferros

Those "toro" 24Ks look promising. Can't wait to see more pics surface. I'm on the hunt for a sz7.5/8 Patta "9"

For some reason I've always been into bulls and what bulls represent. I think its from listening to bulls on parade a lot when i was younger haha. I hope these dont turn out like crap. I want to cop the idea, but if they suck, they suck.

 

[VegetableLasagna]

Too much bull/pony hair would end up being a bad thing...might end up looking like the panda dunks if thats the case 

 

[-murkystilo-]

ya as long as it doesnt come out too hairy...like anything else in this world...it should be good

 

[VegetableLasagna]

 a little landing strip would be perfect

 

[oookillem]

Got the packers in.

Honestly the spritzs don't look too shabby. I hate pumpkin shoes but I'm second guessing myself. There's something about them I like
