the thread about TWOs

Congrats. Always buy what you like and not just what's hyped!!! Yeah, I was actually a little supprised at those eBay prices. But in the end, profit margin is like $5-$10 MAX for them, which in my eyes ain't worth it, but what ever

The retro II's just do not look right. They never have. That rumor about them losing the molds has to be true. I remember last year when I was so excited about these, and then seen a girl at Walmart  (guilty as charged) with a pair that just look liked straight up G-A-R-B-A-G-E. Fat, puffy lookin' with leather that looked terrible. Let's get this straight, the shoe that is known for it's Italian leather now released lookin' like this?

Maybe we'll have better luck with them in their "remastered" form. *Fingers crossed*

Thanks for the kind words :smile: yeah the whole point of me getting these were to paint them black. Was planning on dying and painting the midsole black as well but unsure at this stage. I'm loving the way it looks at the moment.

I used a thin flat brush and angelus flat black and it matched the black leather exactly. I put on a matte finisher too but it added a bit of shine to it so I had to strip it back and repaint.. But yeah just roll with the flat black and you'll be fine bruh
