Whats crackin Fam!

Illy - Thanks for those shots of the McFlys. I like em!
Justin - Those atom reds are dope!

Neukicks - Very nice IDs!
Seth - Thanks for the tailwind analysis. They are growing more and more on me.
Tak/Andrew - I tried to look up the logo on the tongue...
Suede&Mesh.com - "The common element for all the pairs from the collection is a characteristic logo on the tongue, which was immediately nicknamed a "little penis" (or some other less polite names of this organ)."
Sneakernews.com - "There are also two different black Air Max 1s, both of which share the BW’s swooping tongue tag insignia.  That seems to be a theme of this collection"

So pretty much no one knows, probably just trying a new design.
 
Neukicks,

Nice IDs man, what c/w did you use on the mesh on your clots, fog or black?

Also, on a related note,

Cris,

I remember seeing your clot IDs not too long ago, did those have fog or black mesh? Had the pic saved on my comp and came across it earlier today...

allow me...

 
Mayhem - Or his other auctions that just ended. Some good ones. I got outbid on his jewel 95's. That's a few annoying 'beats' over the last couple of days. Oh well, got something else come in yesterday. Pic in a bit.
 
did yuku just go back in time? the last two posts I made on NT have disappeared and everything has reverted back to about 20 minutes ago... weird...

nevermind, it's back to normal. 
 
Neu: Nice iDs!

Justin: ILLY pick-up, Sir!

Mitch & Kickz: They're not mine! haha I just wanted to share how Marina Blue looked in actual pics to te FAM. I won't lie... they look pretty dope. I'd probably swap Marina Blue for Julep and opt for an Orange sole.

Cris: ILLY!

Larrivee: Thanks for the info on the new-aged Tailwinds! Especially, for providing a good picto rep "Electric Green". I'm second-thinking utilizing it on a a future iD. It's a bit too green for what I was going for...

This pic shows the color the most accurately, the electric green is very green.  For comparison, next to the 2009s.



I was surprised to see this CW, I don't know if it was posted before (if so, I missed it)





Both look good, but honestly I think I like the Livestrong CW more.

As far as comfort, they felt pretty good, rather lightweight.  I tried on some 2009's for comparison (I hadn't tried them on before either).  To be honest, the 2009's were definitely more comfortable, specifically in the forefoot.  The Tailwinds are comfortable, but don't have the "walking on a huge bubble" feel of the 09's.  But, they're $60 cheaper as well.  The mesh surprised me a little bit.  It was soft enough, but from thephotos I had assumed it to be a little thicker/substantial.  But, if itwas it would have added some additional weight.  That being said, Idoubt anyone would be disappointed, just an observation. The toe cap and heel cap are glossy (which I usually dislike), but there's not so much of that material that it takes anything away from the shoe.

They seem to run a little long but narrow. I can usually wear a 10.5 or 11, tried a 10.5 on and they fit but I wouldn't want them any longer.  They feel narrow because the insole seemed to be kind of cupped (concave up) and I don't have a wide foot at all to begin with.  Definitely try them on to get a better idea of what size you'd need.  If I had to guess, I'd say maybe go true to size if your foot is a little wider, if you're narrower you'd probably be fine with 0.5 size down. 

I didn't pick them up, low on funds right now

.  But definitely a pair I would like to get later

Told you i'd be back. I've been close to picking up the quickstrike version recently, but glad I held off, as I managed to score these at a decent price:

Quick spin in the washing machine to brighten up the mesh and mudguard, and these will be sweet.

Speaking of clean ups, Mayhem the Atom Reds look like they've cleaned up really well. I wouldn't stress too much about taking further steps, but maybe some delicate work with Jason Markk would be wise. After seeing some results with that stuff (think it was crisone who posted a while back) I've been meaning to grab some too.

crisone - Nice shot of your Patta x Asics inspired iD's. My favourite of yours I reckon.

SupaMars - USA's looking good.

tak - Nice to see you breaking out the Patta 87's one by one. Hope for you that you find the black pair one day, to complete the set.

gooey - I've just spent some time looking through your Flickr - So much heat. Very impressive.
 
'preciate the comments on the slideshows yall. i'm hoping someone with a little more creativeness will put something together to make an "official" vid/archive of some sort
nerd.gif


so much dope stuff going on in the thread, i'm just too lazy to comment

Supamars- Love seeing those USAs!
Had to do a cleanup job on these spiridons. worse shape than i thought but until another 12.5 or 13 pops up they will have to do!
