I'm gonna have to agree.

(DFabz- You're right. Your SC IVs definitely don't look as new as the DKs!

)

Same here. All Stars are dope but Chaos and DKs take the cake for me. Can't wait until the Inlines drop. One of the colorways I'm most looking forward to.

Ricky, I feel ya.  I passed on Chaos & had hoped they'd swing to me for under retail because of wide availability. Alas, I was wrong!

folks seem to be in more of a beast mode because the DK are more Limited then most..

YOU, my friend, know nothing.  If DKs were not limited I would sextuple up.  Thank God they are retroing on Saturday.  I may get my chance.

retro? dont get me wrong they are dope but they would be alot better imo if it actually had some sort of reference besides the color scheme (i.e. scratches on BL's) although i'm not really sure what they would do or or put on there and it not be copyright infringement.. but thats why they make em and i buy em i suppose

I feel you, Vince.  I wrote about the same subject on my blog last week: www.flintgrey-cokenoice.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-love-grs.html

I heart GRs!  My fav is still the Away.

The GR's of today will be tomorrow's sought after shoes once they are all gone from retail stores.

By the way, you have a new viewer for your blog!

same shoe.... but a completely different flywire feeling...

compare the flywire from the DKs to the aways... the dks have that "premium" flywire

i think the color that they use on the flywire...  really has a huuuuge effect on the softness of the flywire.

 

[abstractability]

HAHA at 'Dwin gif.

Vince, stop hatin' on the DKs. I don't know why I like them so much, just real clean.

I heard there's no more Carpe Diems. True?

Pat yourself on the back and say, I'm that guy, I have DKs

no, they're not.

They're a decent looking shoe, they're good looking, but they don't deserve the 2,034,233,422,134 questions a day on if they're releasing.



Adrian, don't mistake it for hate bro.
I said they're not ugly. what more can I say? lol
    

 

[sarteaga0408]

I'm with Vince and Flint...GR's releases so far have been my favorite. For me the Aways are my top pair, followed by my Chaos and Bruce Lee's. Are the DK's nice? Yes. do I have them? Yes. Honestly I only got them because of the blue in the shoe being my wedding color and my fiancee getting them for me.

I just patted myself on the back.  Felt good, actually.

There's a reason why there are 2,034,233,422,134 questions a day regarding the DKs, and that's because it is FLY!

V: I'm just messin' with you brah. I think the main reason why I like them is 'cuz it's a basically an every-day-wear shoe, IMO.

Lol I know bro!

some people act like I've cursed their children

christ.


Edwin, A little of both please.
Decaf

 

[cbfpunch]

in all honesty i'd say:
1) BL
2) Away
3) Chaos
4) DK
5) white/red

i might pull the trigger on a pair of chaos, thinking about it.
definitely getting the blackouts (possibly doubling up) when they release.
NWT, i'll definitely do true blackout iD again ONLY if nike includes better graphic options to really make that black upper make me go

when i look closely at them. might hit up NTNY soon to check out what they'll have in store for the graphics. crossing my fingers they'll add something for the eyestays and toecap too.

on another note, teefury.com is selling a kobe shirt right now until 12am. it looks like he took the pic of kobe while he was still #8 and was still with adidas, can tell by the shoes.

Ron, August 7th. And yea  I agree the DK's aren't that fly. I will say though I plan to double up on the Aways, DK's, Chaos and BL's.

 

[dapurplengold213]

Everyone has there own taste. In my opinion the DK's are perfect. Not too flashy not too shy either.

 

[abstractability]

V: Lol.  To some people, shoes are their children...

Flint: I doubt it's true because I saw it snooping around the other site. Why I was on there, I don't know.

Edwin: I'm going to wear a pair of DKs on my left foot and my Chaos on my right foot next time I take the train to LA. Then I can kick each foot while I'm sitting and people will think I'm crazy.

the chaos, dk, bl's flywire is smooth and bends easy... the aways, asg, wht/red/blk, have that hard plastic feel to them. compare them one day or right now. you'll see what im talking about.
