So happy I got forced into gettin those Logic Board Verses posted above dude. Bought ‘em out of desperation from all the space jam kicks selling out on Nike App & wanting a piece of Brons new space jam legacy history. Turns out I LOVE these! Another save by Nike! First time buyin a high top chuck! Got so many kicks, it’s like I’m just buying them to have them to look at. I dunno, I just really enjoy lookin at shoes. Even when I’m lookin at other people’s shoes. It’s like Therapy!

& still ended up getting all the pairs I wanted that sold out on Nike App anyways from other retail channels.

This was the only SJ pair that interested me honestly. I love that it has the characters on the sides. I missed on SNKRS and was bummed then had thought to look on Converse.com and sure enough FSR.

Probably zero chance we ever see a solid run of retro 90s BBall shoes, huh? I would live to see them retro the full energy wave / react juice lines again before I get to old to pull them off lol. I want Aero Jams again, Run n Slams, some proper ERXs, etc.

Btw, szs 6, 7, 8.5, 9.5 & 10 of the white/blue ERX OG are on sale at Nice Kicks.

Made in Japan chucks

Is there a difference between those and the ones I could buy at the mall?

Is there a difference between those and the ones I could buy at the mall?

Not a whole lot to be honest. Probably not worth it to some, but I’ve been buying chucks since middle school. Overall not bad. It has a Smaller toe box similar to the chuck 70. Thicker laces as well. I think these are closest chuck mold to the vintage USA ones. They’re definitely More comfy and feel a little lighter. Maybe lighter because it’s not as rough as the regular GR chucks at the store. Sizing wise, since the materials used are a little better, I honestly think I could’ve gone a half size down? I didn’t want to risk it since they came directly from Japan. I just went with my normal sizing in chucks. A little space is alright with me.

 

[KnowTheLedge]

Hmm, while check my chuck 70, is it normal for them to brown up? They’re starting to look brownish. I don’t remember them having this darkish almost rusty look to them. It won’t come off

 

[lil black jean jacket]

anyone else pick up rick chucks? i mean im already a clown but been feeling like i should cut this "extended" toe off, like i got dem extended toe paisa boots on brehs no offense

 

[nylon]

Yea I did both, but those who are still holding out there will be a 2nd drop with the colors inverted for each respective hi / low versions.

Why do you want to cut the toe cap? That's exactly what makes it special & if you are not comfortable with that design element then I would advise you to not kop. Still..this is Rick at his most receptive for the 'common man'. Reading the comments on IG was entertaining tho.

I wish he was still with Adidas tho.

 

[snkrfollower]

Ok, these are actually surprisingly nice lol

Two minor quibbles:
1) I don't underatand why they had to get rid of the old Energy Wave branding
2) I wish they had longer/better laces. These are short, thin and cheap

Unless I'm missing something, that's the usual finish of the Chuck 70 midsole and toebox, a glossy off white color.

 

[nuclear1990]

Hopefully someone here can use this.

Yeah, it was an off white-ish midsole, but mine looks way darker in person. Almost tan. Haven’t used them in almost a year though. Aged pretty weird
