Retailers in the US seem to all be right around the $1000-$1200 mark so that's sounds about right. I found a guy from Japan on eBay and got mine for just over $800
I wear a size US10.5 and I bought a size 6. They are a little short for my foot length wise but they will break in. You'll want a size 4 if you're a US8.5, size 4 in Hender scheme translates to size 8-9
These are actually insane in person. From what I've gathered it's just one guy who makes each pair by hand in a little shop. Not sure how he can get away with using the model but more power to him. It's not like Jordan ever gave a sh* about anybody. But yeah just got a pair in and they're mind...
Spaghettis are even better in person, love the $ dust bag too! Stayed tts and they fit perfect, nice and snug. Here they are with the alternate laces, might keep them in. People seemed to sleep hard on these which is cool. They definitely aren't for everybody. EB nailed this one.
Yeah that thing is cool. I use it pretty often too, it's really handy for box opening. Kind of annoying to use a long blade for that so the short blade makes it really easy. It's between that or the Nalgene based on how much use I get out of them.
Black and Tans are definitely my favorite GR GL3, great shoe all-around. I find myself throwing them on quite often, them being a dark color which doesn't show dirt and also being a pretty cheap shoe price wise, it's easy to just wear them with little worry. Great shoe!
The Horween 990's look pretty good but won't drop 350-400+ on them. Actually both 990's look decent. Other than that not much, maybe the green 1500 but that's still not a must. I don't know, We'll see.
Man I wish they made the stripes pink on the outside as well on that grey/red pair. They look like they're missing something on that side. Would have made them an instant yes
I like these Packer grid's, I don't really care about the Snow Beach monicker, I just think primary colors look good together. I'm definitely going in for a pair. Would not mind owning an actual Snow Beach jacket though, but those things are like unicorns.
I agree^ the Aztec GL3's are awesome in hand. I picked up a pair from Crooked tongue just because I really liked the color way but once I got them I realized the material on the toe box was really cool too, different from any other GL3 I've ever seen. The suede on the shoe isn't too bad either...
