@bigj i def repped u on that last comment by mistake

but yo, u know u made me proud. u've become an internet celebrity of sorts as one of the best mods on the best sneaker site in the world, but we both KNOW i adopted u at the blink yeezy release in '09.

Man I'm the one that put u on to mt claire so I pretty much took you under my wing. And that rep wasn't by mistake.

 

[charmcitykid]

man u woulda been yeezy-less if i ain't put u up under the wing. i'll never forget that deer-in-the-headlights look u had when i was tryna get u ur pair, but u ain't know what was happening.

Damn, I was hoping they was green, but it's still a hard colorway regardless.

In between the bickering can we got some pickup or on feet pics from those who copped?

I'll try to take better shots when I actually wear them out.

Today is a pretty nice day to wear em'.

 

[dankenstien88]

Can hardly see the carbon print :x

 

[PRIME]

Its really subtle. More noticeable in person, but still not as defined as the originals.

It also might be my pics because all the other pics I've seen have shown better details.

 

[burklinsfienest]

it boils down to....og collectors are out of luck.

foam midsoles are a wrap after 10 years.

it surprises me any foam midsole with a air bubble is still hanging around (enjoy wearing them while you can they will crumble one day)

so people are either gonna become experts at midsole swaps or the classics will remain classics.

and vintage dudes will have to settle with rubber soles to get their quality fix.

its hard for me to believe brands dont have og molds(especially nike)

changes have been made on every retro even the best.but we were used to getting 9.9 /10

now were getting 6s and 7s out of 10.

20+ years from now we are not even gonna remember true designs just retros that have been changed.so they become the ogs.

 

[bigj505]

Huh

 

[burklinsfienest]

^ that hard to understand?

at a certain point certain designs become so old the ogs are forgotten about.

and the retros become what we remember.

Just go sit down somewhere.

 

[richy yoo]

I can confirm they weren't limited at all. I'm in PG County and there sitting still. The KD 6 meteorology was more limited than these. If these aren't a GR idk what is.

They only sold a couple pairs at a store near me. Last couple of foams have flopped in my opinion.

[AEA18]

[motokicks]

If uv seen me around then u know I rarely ban people.

That said your elaborate statement makes no sense when it comes to this retro. None at all.

Threads like these provide Nike with marketing research so it's good to have people voice their opinions.


Whether or not they take the info and use it is another question....

I'm sure they take note. And then they see the sales figures and say "screw it we can release whatever we want with the cheapest materials and as many changes as we like and it'll still sell out".

 

[bip roberts]

Son, I don't care if you guys think the shoes are whack. Thats your opinion and thats cool or whatever.


I'm tired of seeing ya'll whine and complain like a bunch of lil ******* every time I go into a thread about some shoes.


Ya'll act like Nike owes ya'll something. Nike doesn't owe ya'll **** bruh. You didn't buy the shoes, so why are you complaining? Did Nike take your money? Did they swindle you out of $210? No? Then what are you complaining about? Because you didn't get to buy some new shoes?


You would think that someone so "passionate" about these retro's would have jumped ship a long time ago considering ya'll piss and moan every time a shoe is released.

And even outside of that, you misquoted me about him taking the **** too serious because you aren't even speaking on what we're talking about. Dude is sitting here talking about how the world would be if people didn't complain about issues. Like you can really compare how the retro sneaks you wanted didn't come out the way you expected them to someones living situations in Somalia...

But I'm taking it too seriously? Right.

C'mon bruh. Don't even go there. Ya'll are taking this **** too seriously. Nobody owes you anything.



And I been off the topic, but you ol' "I gotta bring the **** back up" face brought it back up. We stopped talking about it last night.

1. I always say that Nike doesn't owe me or anybody else anything. I actually call people out when they say that kind of nonsense. So, swing and miss on that one, big time.

2. You clearly care A LOT. Everybody can tell. You can say you don't, but actions speak louder than words.

That's all. Have a nice day.

 

[PRIME]

we off that now

 

[dunkahollik]

everyone was concerned about the powder blue at my shop these kinda chillin

 

[an808caucasian]

With everything going on with these- improper retro and all, I wish they just made a retro+ colorway. Even if they used this new carbon fiber (the outsole is a shame, too) and put a white outsole on it a la KGs PEs from back in the day:
