glad people slept. was able to a get a couple pairs for dirt cheap and will pickup 1 or 2 more later on

solid reds were so much better though....hind sight is 20/20

ftr, ppl such as myself def. complained about the '07 black/reds. i scoffed at them as well as cactus'. i hated the solid soles, i really did (or so i thought?). i wanted translucent soles. in baltimore, in '07-'08 both pairs were basically discounted down to about $100. literally SAT on shelves! i STILL didn't cop. in hindsight, it was def. pretty foolish no matter how u look at it.

anyway, fast forward to whenever the "cough drops" 1st released as HOH only, i went to PG and copped. honestly, i was INSTANTLY disappointed, but i copped anyway. afterall, they had finally granted us our wish of translucent soles so how could i possibly not cop?? so i waited in a line of over 100-200 ppl. but as i finally was able to get in the store i had to go thru several boxes to find a pair that looked even remotely acceptable. the pair i got i wasn't even really happy with as far as the "indentations" and quality, but they looked better than the previous 4-5 pairs i had just looked at and there was still a ridiculously long line of folk waiting to cop. now, i know there are those here that will say, "oh that's too picky", ..."always crying about quality", "blah, blah, blah..." but when i'm spending 2 bills on whatever i wanna make sure it looks and is the way it should be. in short, i had just then realized this was in fact NOT what we had all asked for. it was a cheap-looking, sloppy, poorly executed "rendition" of what we all knew it should have been. the molds...

. the "indentations", or lack thereof

like i said, i was the fool really b/c regardless of all that i still copped..


all that said, i just copped a fresh '07 pair from an NTer so there will be no need to keep these "couphdrops", def. not appreciated.

(end rant)

These Were Jus Poorly Executed... They Shoulda Jus Left Them A HOH Exclusive.... They Messed Upp By Releasing Them As A GR And Over Producing These...

I still don't understand why people judge a pair of kicks based on sales???

What does sales have to do with you liking a shoe?

PEWTERS SOLD QUICK....I still passed cause I wasn't really feelin the colorway, but that's me!

I feel too many people buy off hype either hoping to resell or to brag about the "heat" they have.

IMO if it dropped in the last 5 years, chances are......real collectors don’t think it's "heat" anyways.

I buy what I like...I could careless what my kicks are worth or if anyone else likes them or not.

I wish more of the new breed would just be true to themselves and not worry about hype.

END RANT...LOL

All this bashing makes me want them even more. At least it's gonna be cheaper than the Black/Electric Green foams.

they sittin cause they ain't these. really, it's the mold that kills it, as we all already know. when i compared the 2, the difference was pretty unbelievable. i'll just put it like this, coughdrops almost look like str8 fakes when next to these. i'll have comparison pics up in the next day or so.
