I guess no one will know unless someone that has ordered an ID with "Beet" and received it. Someone would have posted it by now.....youcan google "Nike Beet" and some pictures should give you a little clue what they look like. ie Wmns Asia release AM1's or the new Bo JacksonTrainers "Beet"

Jake - Get a Tokina 11-16

Denver - I can't wait to see your USA editions. I'll probably remove the stitching myself. We'll see how that turns out, haha.

AM93 earlier today for a run and the AM97 right now to chill.

 

[gswarriorz]

Larrivee - Just wonderin, how much did u pay for the pools?

Dallas - I feel ya on wondering what "beet" looks like. Ima wait til I see some nice pics of em before I buy.

 

[itsmedallas]

It's a lot closer to thebeach. good stuff, I love the south.

i just came back NTNY, saw the beet color on the suede.....definitely not as light as the red on the QS's, but not as dark as the site makes it out to be.Should be perfect for my "urnotexactlyawas"

....other notable things i saw:

silver suede is probably the exact color of the 09 QS of the OG colorways....

silver midsole isn't shiny at all....more of a grey than silver really....i definitely will be adding that to some designs that i was afraid to use thaton.

blue suede is very dope, not too dark...not too light, it's probably 2-3 shades darker than what the blue QS's had....gonna be perfect for theGiant's ID's i'll be ordering....

still can't mess with the splatter on the uppers....looks pretty nasty but the midsole splatter is nice and WILL be utilized!

the FOG mesh is damn near black from a distance....i had to put it next to the actual black to make sure i was seeing clearly

that stadium green is really nice too! i can't imagine how dope ur pair looks in person Cris

the speed yellow is very vibrant but not too bright probably 1 shade lighter than how it looks on the computer screen (well mine at least)...which is good newsfor a certain pair that i HAVE to make twice!

hot red....we already know....bootleg infrared lol

the reflective is really nice too, definitely not 3M at all tho.....no matter....still dope and doesn't change the look of the colors. (the pair i saw hadhot red reflective)

i would have snapped some pics but NT was crowded as hell, they looked like there was gonna be some big press conference or something....kinda wanted to hangaround but i got bills to pay and job to keep

hope this info helps someone if anyone, sorry for a lack of pics but u should see more and more ID's really soon so take it for what it is.


Jake - i'm in need of a fisheye myself! i think i want a tokina too!
Chris - i'm dying to see the obsidian....i didn't see that one there, maybe someone had it in their appt when iwent. studios are definitely making a killing with those "ID parties"

even though i have a pair, i wanna make a slightly different version lol

 

[denverairforce]

Seth - nice haul! the TN's look pretty good, pools look amazingly clean, and I was wondering if somebody here copped those concord 96's, I was peepin'em of course, haha.

dallas - yeah I been planning on making "USA's" since the first hint of the 87's coming back to iD. here's what the design was, and yes,beet swoosh. since you can't do a navy sole, I did a beet sole so they're sort of a mix of USA's and the original mesh 87's in the similarcolorway: upper is silver suede, mesh is white.

and then today I received the rest of this week's haul, here are my pickups, I'm pretty happy with everything (and pretty damn broke because of it,even though I got some incredible deals):

some burst grails, ds:


nds, less than $50, really psyched on these:


nds hufquakes for super cheap:


extra pair of mowabb 95's in my true size (11), my other pair is 11.5, they're used but in great shape:



should have 2 iD's coming in next week, and a fixer-uper on the way as well. it's been a busy month! sorry for the long post. have a good eveningfam!

 

[tak]

DAF- Straight steal on all of those, especially the Stealth Blues....

I wish I paid that much for my pair

A good 25 pages we a clocked in this week. Wouldnt be surprised if we doubled that this weekend, due to some of you getting the first wave of iDs.


Have a Safe weekend!

^^dope mike........u did that on purpose hehe

Denver - sick pickups dude, those bursts are sick! karma took good care of u!

 

[battleground03]

Mike - 180's are so smooth

Nice haul there Denver especially the Burst

Justin - Thanks for the update on the materials. I'm still at work

so another hour or 2 till I post pics of my ID's.

Here's a picture of an ID that I took from other site (props to radxrayz hope u don't mind) For those doing USA's maybe thesewould help a bit. Looks like "Beet" to me

thanks! and yeah indeed it did. what up Andrew! haha. the bursts are real clean. ds from 2000, gotta love it!

and Chris, thanks for the pic. looks like he used silver for mesh and the dark grey for the upper. the blue and the red both look perfect to me. and maybeit's just the angle, but from that angle the shape looks pretty good.

Viet - yea, all the pics Dan took make every shoe look better than in person. and they holding up good so far, althoughit's only been twice they've been worn lol.....and yea i'm slacking with the windows 7 upgrade i know....too lazy to do it, rather play MW2 and

[denverairforce]
