Ever since I held some 1906 in hand a few weeks ago I’ve been on the lookout for some

The only 1906 pair I do have isn’t really that comfortable. Sole is very stiff. Maybe it’s just my pair

So fire, even with BAPE not being what it was these are dope. Ever understand any hate on these, especially this colorway

I can’t do the model at all. Very tight across the top of my foot. Sucks because I like them but, kind of a relief because it’s one less purchase I’m tempted to make. Kind of like Jordan 4s because those don’t fit me well either.

Use to wear Retros out all the time and now that I am gettin older I am gravitating towards mesh runners just for comfort, tryin to do my feet justice. Definitely want to try out the 1906r jus to see what’s up with em since NB is pushin this model this yr.
Have a pair comin in today it’s the white/green 1906r I found for cheap on GOAT.

Think you might need a history lesson my man. These aren’t new shoes. The 1906 dropped in 2009. The Vomero 5 in 2011. If anything the SB 1906s look like the 9060 DTLR flames.HOL UP…

I know 
I actually trained for marathons in that era of Vomeros. I started young lol
I was just referring to the similarities in the cw: metallic accents with a bright primary color and pre-scuffed midsoles.

Random but found this at the outlet. $220 retail though. Damn. Should I cop or wait for a discount?

The new balance 480 came out before the Nike dunk, but Nike saw the vision to turn the dunk into a skateboard sneaker before new balance. What do you think about that?

Mesh runners are definitely more of an acquired taste I could definitely see how there not for everyone sometimes they look a little to hi tech but if done right I’ll rock them.

I think that’s totally irrelevant, especially with the Vomero which wasn’t exactly a hit the first time around

I’m not trying to argue I’m just asking your opinion on that. For Nike to kind of copy new balance with the dunk but then to turn the dunk into a skateboard shoe before new balance turned the 480 into a skateboard shoe it’s almost like nested copying. The dunk is more popular than the 480 also…so to copy another brands shoe but your version is the more popular version.
