Random thought- is it safe to say that the 1978 model was a flop? I've never seen anyone wear the shoe, ever (except for NB employees). I'm sure customers for the silo exist but I know it wasn't well received here on this thread. None of the hardcore NB heads/influencers on IG seem to care much for it either. And I've also been finding it in outlets as well as Marshall's for heavily discounted prices.
Bit of a bummer, if you ask me. I wasn't a fan of the model one bit but I respect NB for trying new stuff and I also appreciated that the shoe was miUS. But the model stands in stark contrast to the 574 sport which NB continues to pump out with new color ways on a consistent basis. Haven't seen any new color ways on the horizon or anything.
