Official Saucony Originals / Retro Thread

[el3ctronick]

so i found a pair of LoMs reds..the reseller is asking for 135euros as gift otherwise he will send me an invoice for 150.8 euros...lmao

i have to say that price is too good though

 

[roknows]

how do you compensate for missing one pair by buying another pair that looks NOTHING like the one you originally wanted? 

Consolation prize man. The need to fulfill lol

Hey guys I'm new here, never really been into Saucony's until the burgers. Just wanted to see if anyone in the NYC area lined up at Extra Butter LES before, particularly for the Aces release, just because I really want these Space Snacks to compensate for striking out on the Burgers (although those might restock the same day at KITH?) haha. But yeah, just wondering what the line situation was/how many pairs they had. Thanks guys!

I was at the LES location for the "ACES" release and it went pretty smoothly. I got there at about 3pm (8pm release) and was about 40th-50th in line. They do random roll-calls and are able to miss one, other than that you need to be present. They have a bar next door that you can get twisted at in the mean time...but all in all it's pretty well maintained and organized. However, for the "Space Snacks", it might be a little more hectic since it's a Saturday and more people have off, plus it's a better looking shoe (IMO). Get there around 7am-8am just to be safe. I'll be there around opening time just because I don't feel like waiting for hours upon hours when theres a good chance that they'll have my size even if I'm the last in line.

Threw these on today and noticed this spot on the suede. It's kind of hard...any suggestions to get it out?

Don't use Jason Markk.

I would go with a suede eraser first before you try any type of spraying, and or brushing of the suede. Good luck!

I really don't remember them doing a wider euro drop....but I'm pretty sure the release is over with.

hoping prices fall to the 180 range

I coped my gray/red LOM's for $180 shipped a few weeks back...I consider that a steal.

id be all over that too

Wow, it actually sounds pretty organized. What time were you able to get out of there? I was more worried it would be like one of those lines where the hypebeasts mob the front of the line near the opening time and the staff is just oblivious. Glad to know there should be a lot of pairs too!

Nahh, you give them your name and size and then just post up until about a half hour before release, and then they line you up in the order that you arrived.

Was able to get my grey pair for 200 plus shipping, but it definitely took some haggling.

Probably the same guy I tried haggling down to $200 too, lol. Wasn't having any of it.

Wow they sound like they handle their releases beautifully. Thanks for the info, repped!

Damn what a great price an still on the hunt for the navy offspring joints because nothing else interests me. Patience is key I'll catch a seller sitting in time lol

Just got a suede eraser in the mail today. I had a minor spot on my Flamingos.

The Eraser did wonders- Amazon product ASIN B000PD5ESU
You may want to get a softer brush though.

Don't use Jason Markk.

I used a VERY light amount of Jason mark with barely any water. im grabbing an eraser now.

thanks guys

Don't do the JM.

I have only had regrets every time when using it on suede.

I had to turn my NB mints and Puma Great Whites into beaters as results.

poop. how did it mess them up?

I'm pretty sure it says do not use on colored/dyed suede right on the bottle.

It can discolor and change the texture and softness of your suede.

 

[thefasterblade]

Created it's own shade of stain and roughens the suede.

I am only putting that stuff on mid soles, canvas, cloth, plastics or rubbery-leathers from here on out.

word. not putting that near them now...thanks for the heads up.

yeah. Messed up my first pair of WPF dunks as well. After a lot of work I got some of the texture and color back but still wasnt 100%. 

JM = no bueno

that's a bummer. with these brushed it out with a little water and my soft JM brush. luckily its not messed up. deff not adding JM to it. I just need to pick up a new brush and eraser.

Sneaker Politics offspring came in and my original pair I got from a homie at packers which is a 9.5, I plan on trading for a navy offspring size 9 or 9.5. And I'm not selling only straight trade. If anyone has PM me. No problems on the suede with both pairs but it's soooo buttery

So apparently Extra Butter is getting the burgers on the 10th as well... Not sure if both or just the LES location is receiving them.
