I hate the metal too.

 

[JPS]

noooo

how the hell u hate something thats better? lol

give me metal over plastic tape anyday

the metal itself isnt the issue. in isolation theyre great. however, weight distribution and contrast doesnt fall inline w my ethos

Nice box. Unfortunately, the shoes just aren't for me. Gonna give them to a coworker.

Happy to have grabbed these through a rare W on snkrs, i will be wearing them in the near future for sure. I don’t think these are worth what resale prices are going for though.

Facts, especially when they were screw ins (pause) like the DSM's and Yeezy2's

 

[heelsandeers]

Shoes and sweater arrived today. Unintentional and didn't realize they were similar shades

Would prefer a slightly different shade on mid soles if being nit picky but I like them overall

Only maroon pair I own so they fill that void nicely. Maroon laces are probably the move

It looks exactly like the Metallic Maroon...but it was just a accident huh.....

If we're gonna go there, I'd say it's closer to the recent Metallic Court Purples more than the OG Metallic Maroons since the tongue is the same material as the upper. The OG Metallic Maroons had a nylon tongue and leather upper, while the Metallic Court Purples have a leather upper and leather tongue.

Would you say the inspiration is the Metallic Court Purples then?

Doesn't look like a mid to me... That is my Patina's on the right.

Photo's and personal take; These are NICE.

The materials and construction are top notch. I'm sure that the selection of materials and their weight is why the construction of the tongue is as it is....But when I saw a dude rocking them over the weekend, I noticed that the tongue looked wonky but I couldn't pinpoint why. Notice the pics below; there's two separate panels.

Styling wise, my thought is that these will look best laced all the way up, tied up and dressed up. That's how I'll be doing it anyway.

The top of that tongue is heavy....so when left loose, there's too much play from side to side on the tongue. That's what made homies look wonky...Sloppy.

Here's some pics. I like!!

Finally!
I like em. They feel plush & luxury like in hand. I see what folks were saying about the cracked leather but I actually like it.
The midsole looks crazy pink inside lighting too.
Also, the cut is OG like compared to some 85’s so they did a good job IMO.

 

[Sonset23]

It’s funny when you look at the pairs on eBay it all Pens on the lighting because some look pink on the midsole and the back of the shoes

 

[vndragonslayer]

Pink midsole it is. Thankful for all the luck from site drop. Except Gibbs drop. Had to ask entire family to enter. No luck with snkrs either. $25 ship tax free is

I bought these and seen pink. On the heel. Thinking it’s the way the light is hitting it. Have not seen any pairs look like this

 

[rbk93]

Compared to other pairs, you did good.

Yea it's just indoor lighting, when you wear them outside the midsole looks more of a sail/cream color. My pair looks the same indoors.

 

[SonofSal]

Searched eBay for my size 11 and found 146 pairs for sale. Ridiculous. A small percentage of people actually want shoes to wear or collect and a large majority just buying them to scalp.

Even worse are those IG accounts that lie and say "for the toe" and then you see them selling them on their page
