AJ II Union x April 15, 2022

[pwguy]

Would love to have the Fog's (Rattans don't do anything for me), but not worth a penny (OK, maybe a few pennies ;-) over retail. Unfortunately, despite best efforts on RD, I couldn't get thru even once. Damn it. Glad to see so many of you actually getting ur pairs at least!

 

[saunupe1911]

Wore my Fogs to the casino…definitely caught a few of eyes. But Nightwing was right about the inside leather liner. It looks great but dammit it put a small blister on my lower back ankle even with high thick Nike socks. Good luck wearing these with no show socks.

 

[frank mucus]

You guys have thin skin? Is the leather liner stiff or something?

If you get designer shoes like SLP, Gucci, or high end dress shoes like from Crockett & Jones they're all leather lined have never caused blisters for me.

Only other shoe that's done that to me is certain 6s at the top of the heal. Other than that I'm good. I gotta take a look at my left shoe. But yeah Nightwing was right

[headdetective]

Hmmm.

You a wild boy

finally someone else mentions this! for me, it's specifically the spot where my ankle bone rubs up against the HO21 tag inside the shoe. Even wearing thick socks and putting a band-aid over the stitching, it still rubs.

Pair just landed from Union 2 days earlier than expected.

Rattans come in tomorrow, can't wait to see these in person.

This is good info. No point in having them if I can't wear them comfortably.

In-store raffle order for Rattan shipped. Will be here tomorrow.

 

[EsyCop]

I wore my Grey Fogs on Saturday with Nike crew cut socks and had no issues. Not sure if it’s a QC thing on certain pairs or not regarding the ankle issues.

 

[boldnewbflakes]

What on the ankle area is digging into people's skin? Is it the Union tag edges? I never had a leather lined shoe cut me, plus I don't like no show socks so I should fine rocking them

 

[vinotwofour]

at this point, who didn't get an invoice but they successfully got an order confirmation on release day.

For me, it’s the stitching on the HO21 tag inside the shoe. It’s a very thick stitch, and it lands right where my ankle bone is. So every step has the stitch rubbing against the bone. Happens loose laced and tight. :/

 

[skaterplayer808]

Asking the right questions here

 

[debso]

Still no shipping and at this point I don’t care about them anymore. When these finally do come in I’m throwing them on Tradeblock.
****s damn near a full month later and this ***** is silent at this point. Smhhhh.

Somebody hit me up on Tradeblock to trade his Grey Fogs for my Kobe 6 Mambacitas that I unfortunately could not wear. After he told me how much of a Kobe fan he is, I decided to take him up on his trade and just made it an even one. Though folks will think I am totally crazy for trading the Kobes, I would rather for them to go to somebody would could actually fit them and want them for the toe and I can get a shoe that I really wanted without paying resale.....so it was a win-win IMO.

 

[larfboy]

Heading to tradeblock now…

Makes sense that’s what I was kinda guessing. In the pics it looks like a thick tag. It seems like the edges would get annoying after wearing it for some time.

You can’t trust anyone

Never mix emotions with business

That is fine. As long as I am okay with the trade and the outcome of it, that is all that matters to me. I really do not care about anyone "forgetting" about these or about resale value, but thank you for your commentary though.

Ummmm, I am not sure if you are referring to me or not, but if the Kobes actually fit and not be too small then I would have definitely kept them. I had thought about keeping them as memorabilia, but at the end of the day my house is not a museum. Also, I am not sure who is a "dumb kid" either since I am scratching 40's back, but whatever I guess.
