Once the phantoms are sub 100 I’m back in.

Lmao yep! I remember as a kid taking big swings of that nasty Manischewitz with everyone’s backwash

LOL YES!!!!! I became Catholic when I was an early teen and before then (when I went to a Methodist church), we drank from little individual cups. So when I found out at our Catholic church that we drank from the same cup, I did it at first, but then I opted out of going up to the alter altogether. I started going downstairs to the bathroom during that time just to avoid it.

Lol

Yea, someone posted that he saw them striped and we'd be disappointed. But obviously he lied. He didn't post the picture.

the guy was mistaken and thought the stripped down light bone pair was supposed to be the Lakers/chi pair

Definitely some validity to the piece ... surprised they didn’t mention Nike’s bastardization with the NFRs release. I get Nike was trying to ride the partnership for all it was worth particularly with Virgil headed for bigger arguably better things, however would posit the union LA release was a positive outgrowth of the intellectualism Virgil’s collab promised.

Nike has beat this dead horse into the ground-NFR, Element React 87s, JDI Air Max, Guava Ice/Olive/Orange AJ1s, and now the branding on the SS19 AJ1s and even the exposed foam on the new Killshots are all O-W style-inspired derivatives in one form or another... Nike is really trying to milk the collab for everything it was worth it seems like. It’s ironic because Nike/JB has the resources to hire some of the best design talent in the world yet they hire people who consistently come out with trash cws that most of us here on NT could actually out-design.

The og killshots had exposed foam tongues though lol...

Definitely gonna get yellow toes and I think thatll cap off the colored toe craze for me. Don't need courts or b/red toes. I still gotta finish my purple chi. Unless there's a rust pink toe in mind I'm off it lol

I might be in the super minority, but with the talk of people wanting a “Royal Toe,” I really have zero interest in such a pair. I have a couple pairs of Royals, a pair of Game Royals, and a pair of Storm Blues (I know not the same blue but a shade of royal/navyish). But between the Royals and the Game Royals by themselves, a “Royal Toe” is unnecessary IMO.

 

[0takusamsay]

My chameleons fill the purple toe void tbh lol depending on how the light hits

No one who qualifies as “the best design talent in the world” is going to be a low level designer in some back room cubicle in Nike, they’ll have independent notoriety—I.e., like Virgil—and they’ll work through collabs because it’s economically superior for them.

wait so basically these with the toebox rust pink as well?

I think 0takusamsay is just saying IF such a pair came out. Nothing like that is on the horizon, or has even been hinted at, unless I totally missed something.

 

[masshi]

fuuuuu, rust pinks are so good

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

And so expensive

 

[0takusamsay]

Yeah if nike ever releases a rust pink toe to the public than I'll be on it but that's the only toe I can see myself being truly engaged on after I attain the yellow toes. I would like the og rust pinks but that's 3-4000 bucks I ain't trying to spend. Frags don't even go for that much in my size and they supersede the rust pinks.

Never enough Royal imo

 

[vinotwofour]

I think a similar rust pink pair will drop eventually. Maybe not exactly like how it is, but with some twist such as different materials

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

i'd be happy with those corals if they weren't pebbled or what ever
