By press do you mean real press or some 23 year old influencer with a nice camera that ALD paid for in sweatshirts?

Real press

 

[squizzy3000]

I'm really glad I really only cop GR's, J. Crew, Concepts or just make customs (NB1's) at this point in my life #DadLife.. Sorry you guys are feeding into this hype lol these ALD 997's, 990V2's and 990V5's arent really that dope imo (basis ***** status). Now his clothes on the other hand are dope, but too rich for my blood. I can't wait for them to update the NB1's wheel.​

I was tempted by the capsule, but truth is it’s just cotton sweatpants with a small embroidery for $$$ what’s the point? I’m passing on everything EXCEPT the socks to add to my collection

What I'm hearing about the ALD line in-store today makes me feel like a slime ball for supporting and purchasing NBs from Santis.

Retail or less only.

I have no need for nor do I condone these shenanigans.

The drop was a mess but not because of ALD, people were being let in but due to somebody in front threatening Security NYPD had to be called unfortunately. It had to be shut down.

 

[infamousbape]

A bit of blame all around, probably should have been setup better knowing how these releases generally go but people should act like decent humans as well. Once I saw the morons dressed head to toe in supreme crowding around the front of the store I knew nothing good would come of it.

It can easilt be mitigated, hand out tickets beforehand, do a shock drop, a raffle. Other brands have been very creative with handling releases in a safe manner.

I wasn’t making fun, I think the cookie idea is cool. Any pics of the shoes? Figured if anyone copped in here they’d want to share... just like you guys buying the OMN1 that never post.

I feel like they are only still available in a few places as of now. Would be surprised if they hit discount.

 

[runners781]

So were they able to release some pairs?

 

[remy]

Yeah I only know a few spots that still have them
Maybe if they can stick around until Black Friday/cyber Monday I can use a code on a pair
