About how much was your pair?

I was was waiting for a dip, and it did, down to about $430, but now it's back up to $500
Frank I paid $430 usd before taxes here in Canada. Have to consider that there are built in customs charges as well for Canada, but I was like f it. This was a size 10. I’ve seen some ebay auctions go for $350. As someone that was on the hunt for 2s 4-5 years ago and getting the 94s resto’d, this was a necessary splurge.

Ain’t gonna stunt, startin to get nervous. Latest notification since Friday that I got from them (A Ma Maniere) was that a shipping label was created. I hope they ship 🙏🏽

Rest assure they will ship. Unfortunately they take forever and umpteen days which is ridiculous considering the amount they charge. I assume their pickup contract only accommodates a certain number of packages per day which is also ridiculous to me
 
I don’t understand the point of the video? Okay you got both collabs (claps) and the “c’mon” at the end. Ok “c’mon” dude, speak
Amm>>>>

People asked for a video comp.

I do think the wrap on the midsole is gonna come off over time. It’s just like rubber over the top of a black midsole. But the cmon is just in reference to how much better looking the Amm is. Box too. Everything about the amm2 is better.

That said. Black ow2s are my most worn pair in 22. Low top 2s look cool but the highs have so much open leather still kinda look like moon boots.

Thanx for the explanation AllGrails AllGrails

I have internally questioned the viability of the scale midsole on the AMM 2. I like it but like you said, will it rub off or crack or split over time with or without wear. IMO, The midsole on the 2 is the biggest difference maker between the 1 & 2. I like the 1 for its simplicity and craftsmanship, and the 2 has that small degree of difference that makes it pop more.
 
Here’s some better looks at that “wrap”

I’ve never ranked shoes but these are definitely a 9 or higher to me. I buy just about everything I can just cause it’s fun to get them in hand, but these are keepers for sure.
 
Initially, based off preview pics and colors, I prefer the fog onions.

But the details and craftsmanship, the 4 eyelets vs 3, is making me reconsider the AMMs over them. I just need prices to drop
