RIP Dallas for real. Like someone said earlier, I came to this thread hoping people remembered him. It's great to see how much of an impact he had and what he meant to so many cultures at once: Hip hop culture, sneaker culture, lo culture, NY culture and black culture. Just seemed like such a...

Happy Jackie Robinson Day…

How do these fit compared to like a pair of Jordan 3’s?

I would say the same as most recent Jordan releases, and definitely not as narrow as the Fired Red IV's or any releases before that. I don't have the 2019 Black/Reds, but I have the Fire Reds from 2020 in a size 10, and those fit me perfect. Anything after that including Fired Red III's and...

Still really hoping we get a simple white/gum-sole COTM. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet, but similar to linens, I'd need to stock up like 2-3 pairs of them easily.

Tried these on today and couldn’t do it. Never had thr OGs but had the 2001 retro in a couple different color ways which felt fine as well as the 2012 pair that was tough to get on, but nothing like these. Once they were on, the mid-foot felt way too narrow. Tried on half size down. Length was...

I can validate. Tried them on a while back and was shocks that half size down from my normal air max size fit perfect. Almost a little roomy, like I would have been swimming in a size 10 which is what most of my air maxes are in. I always get Air Force 1’s and now most Jordan’s in 9.5

Scooped this one today thanks to wifey

Don’t think golds showed up everywhere just yet. Historically silver bullets have sold out quicker than golds each time they’ve done a retro of both so I’m gonna wait a minute on them. Paid full price for silver bullets and regretted it now that I’m seeing everything on sale.

Yeah you want the toe area stuffed pretty tight with cloth or in my case, a shoe tree inside the shoe, then I took a towel, soaked it in water and then lay it over the toe of the shoe. Iron over the towel moving around the edge of the toe area a few times but not too long. Usually 10 seconds or...

Yeah pretty close just used an IKEA shoe tree Inside the shoe instead. Cloth stuffing might have been better

Wish I could get them like that without the toe dents but they’re not that bad IMO and looks pretty natural on-foot. Either way I’m way happier with them re-shaped

I reshaped the toe on my twine pair. Not exactly perfect but so much better than the new shape. Some small toe dents that I might try to push out but I feel like those would be their either way once I wear them a few times

Italian/pizza and Chinese food in Boston proper is usually not amazing compared to other cities so for those foods specifically I can see where it would feel lack-luster. But overall there’s some great food spots you just have to talk to people and try places based on word of mouth.
