I guess the only store that knows how to make a good NB collab is concepts. Another easy pass for me. Glad I haven't bought a shoe just for the hype only to end up w/buyer's remorse.

St A's are decent, can't go wrong with a gum sole. Quality will probably be on point but their website is straight garbage and will make them next to impossible. Meanwhile you'll be able to get 4 pairs in-store.
Those mitas on the other hand

Fixed
Kith is just rehashing concepts at this point and selling because of the RF name (and potential resale value). In addition, their nicest NB collab was a reinterpretation of the Norse 670 and their model choices are not always the best.
Does the GWO have any other collabs besides the 577s that recently came out? Anyone care to post pics if they exist?

the 1300 was a great collab. You can compare it to Norse all day long, but it was still a great looking shoe. The 999 was nice as well. The Daytona on the other hand, well........

I didn't say it wasn't a great shoe, I said it was way too similar to the Norse (hence not as original as some of RF's earlier Asics projects for example).
The 999 definitely had nice materials and colorway, but the bulbous + banana toe combo killed it. The 1600 are so-so, and the 577 would be much better if RF re-used the denim concept on the UK version. That's what I meant by dodgy model choices/reuse of ideas and why I don't think Kith belongs in the same sentence as Hanon or Solebox.

So basically a red shoe with a gum sole?
Meh. Nothing about those makes me think they're worth the hassle of dealing with their website or paying reseller prices.
These shops are making it easy for me to keep some $$ in my wallet though.

Saw the photos and immediately turned off. They don't look very good. Not enough color contrast. TOO much red.
