[1978S]

1978S 2010 was a good year. I remember buying the Concord, Infrared & Laser Blue from the eastbay catalog lolol

Spoiler: Am90

Those were cool, but the 2020 versions were pretty much identical to the OG's. Absolutely beautiful.

I think a simple google search would have found you an answer

1978S I see what you're saying about the 2020 AM90 Concord! Such a beautiful shape. ​

 

[NoChecksJustBalances]

finally

 

[superblytrife]

Now you have people swearing off Jordans and saying they’re only buying NBs and ASICS, which I don’t really get either

Enh, this isn’t anything new. For as long as I’ve been in here folks have been saying that. I’m almost positive I said the same thing a long time ago.

It’s the quality issue, or at least it was for me. Now I realize neither NB or Nike/JB offer true quality for the price, so it’s whatever.

Who the hell is Danielle Cathari and how did she get such a fire collab

 

[niketock88]

Who the hell is Danielle Cathari and how did she get such a fire collab

The question is why alot of the collabs look like GRs

 

[cgs37]

I liked them from the side profile but top down is disappointing me.

 

[1978S]

shotsrangout She was named the creative director for Kith Women end of last year.

She's a designer/has her own brand and other collabs in the past.

 

[1978S]

Do you suggest collabs only be wild/outlandish colorways and/or color combinations?

 

[niketock88]

We deserve more..creativity.. it just looks like another shoe they could’ve made on their own. These shoes are expensive too green suede Collab? I need materials and creativity. Is it too much to ask?

 

[illustrayt]

Khaki 999s for work today

 

[beeface]

Nah you got it twisted. Most of us old heads don't like the 997H.

997's only please.

tbh I actually don’t mind the 997H silhouette, but the 997Hs I’ve seen irl have looked really cheap with bad materials

Not even a MiUSA va MiAsia thing because I think plenty of MiAsia shoes actually look really good

But maybe it’s just the ones I’ve seen and others use better materials idk

Are these a Kith collab then? Hope not.


edit: Sweet looks like no Kith association

Nah, it's all of them. They're just a take-down, cheap version of a good shoe that should be on Sears/Marshalls shelves.

Yeah these are not a Ronnie type colorway.

 

[brian8598]

Damn, I hope those Matcha joints aren't impossible to get. They do it for me, for sure.
