I think they're really lighting and photo source dependent because they seem much lighter in some photos than they are in person.
Last I checked the size I got has offers of around $670 on GOAT and pairs have been sitting at like $750 on eBay. Not sure if or when they'll move.
Taupes were finally just delivered. They're okay, but I don't think they're as good as either of the guavas or off-noirs, or even the moss which based on photos at least try to do something interesting even if they're polarizing. The taupes are too brown a shade and I think they would have...
Paid for my Taupe pair on the 25th which was the earliest that emails started going out from Union to my knowledge. Still haven't gotten a shipping notification.
Anyone else getting some dye bleed (not from jeans) on the white laces from theirs? Surprised it's happening.
These are already one of my favorite pairs though.
I got the L on SNKRS but the W with Lapstone and am gonna go pick them up in a bit.
I ordered my size (9) for $454 on GOAT a couple days ago because I had credit and figured I'd never win locally and it seems like that's about as low as they may ever get.
Last night I used the GOAT credit from my UNCs I wasn't a fan of and returned because I was expecting Ls across the board (and really don't think they're going any lower) and ended up winning a Lapstone raffle. Go figure.
I'm just speculating, but I think that resell culture across the board is just so bad right now that the server load is having weird effects on the site/app because more people than ever are trying to hit.
The app has been absolute crap for me lately (iOS). Stuff doesn't reload right, then at drop time I went to check out with Apple Pay, it processed, but then acted as if there was an error. I killed and reloaded the app a couple times and eventually it was just pending.
I had caved and got a pair of GOAT. They just got in (also shipped from HK) and I'm not really that impressed considering how much they're going for. Spotty QC and the "suede" material feels like paper that'll tear way too easily; for those familiar, the material is very similar in texture to...
Love getting the L. Not sure if I really want to pay resale for these even if I like them and I don't feel like they're gonna dip much lower than $420 for my size.
I'd suggest just getting them now if you can afford it, even if there's a small premium. I don't think they'll go much lower than they currently are and they're better than the Mochas. I might pick up a second pair right now because I expect them to rise once more people get their hands on them...
