The bottom one kinda looks like a super aggressive reshape job, combined with a shoe tree.

Old 1500 don't need to use shoe tree or hand to reshape , shape are still killer .
For example , 1500ib

Cause they want shape more sharper . They forget upper length must fit the sole .
i wear us8.5 1500 in 2006 , but i have to wear us9 on recent's 1500
I don’t think that’s necessarily it. I have multiple pairs of the reshaped 1500 and none of them have the cliffhanger toe. I just think it’s bad QC...both sides of the pond.

I wear a s12. And I’ve got a couple of bad 1500’s that have this issue. Yp was one and was very disappointed. As I love the look and cw of that shoe. It’s a dagger but hangs off the side like the sole was an 11 and upper a 12. I feel like the bigger your size the less chance of good shape. You guys w little feet seem to have nicer shaped models than I.

I wear 11.5 in 1500’s. Like I said, it’s just a bad QC issue on certain models.

i am also a shape freak, mainly why i stopped buying 998 and slowed down purchases a lot. 990v4 gets an exemption lol.

Those 576s look really exciting! Seems like they also release these every 5 years since the 20th anniversary? Kind of helps the wait until the next 1300JP haha

This right here. That little plastic toe piece thing has saved me sooooo much money.

March 1st for Rosé 574's.
Honestly not too mad at the execution, though admittedly the colorway looks better on the 997 and it seems way too soon to be repeating colorways.

Received my stussys today and I have the same problem
squizzy3000
had with his pair a while back. Loose mesh, box label text looks a little off, and I didn’t get the dust bag. Makes me think these might be seconds or b-grades or something similar. Bright side of no dust bag is no black scuffs, but I wanted that damn dust bag.

CW and details look nice, but I don’t see the improved shape at all TBH. I guess I need to have them in hand before judging

I'll probably try for the SNS pair and then be sad about the Asian made shape and quality

I appreciate the generosity! I'm in SW Ohio, or I would definitely take you up on that. I emailed Solestop, probably a bit too angrily, but they're making it right and sending me one. I was more upset that they list it as brand new and all that and have a product shot with the dust bag and didn't mention it wasn't included with purchase. Oh well, I got my stussys.

so basically you got the dustbag without the black marks on the kicks. That’s a win

I didn't think about it like that, but yes I'm counting this as a huge win. The only thing still bugging me is the loose mesh. But I'm gonna be wearing them so it's only going to bother me until I unDS.
Yep! They said they're going to send me one that they happened to have laying around so win, win.

don't get the new 574 at all. the shape is definitely better but what's the point when the us574 has been available? usa is better than asian all day. its just softer & more comfortable. as for those collab color flips...just do a nb1 it will be a better shoe
