Why can't more releases be like the PSLs? Relatively easy but still limited, $120 and they're fire. I guess I should just buy more saucony, asiics, etc. and never worry about highly sought after nike / adidas
The Asics Gel-Saga V is one of the most comfortable makes of shoe I've ever worn, so yeah, you should get on that.

I have a list of 8 or so Jordans that I want. once those are copped, I'm done with Jordans forever. those will last me. I'll buy another pair if and only if I wear those mother fuckers out.

fuck this shit

I could be wrong, but some people in here have ordered laces from this place before right? http://www.ropelacesupply.com/product/ultra-boost-laces-42

Kinda want some 3M ultra boost rope laces.

I ordered a couple of 3M laces from them (ropes and flats) for my UBs and a pair of white flats for my NMDs (they're an all-blue pair).

Best investment I've made. Swapped out my stock infrared laces on my black/red UBs for the black 3M flat laces. The 3M gives them an extra pop of visibility, especially at night.

Speaking of adidas. I don't like the 3.0 ultraboost. Pig nose syndrome. That toe is fugly to me.

Lmao. A little bit. Also, this may just be me, but some shots of the primeknit texture make it look kinda like toilet paper. Especially on the white pair.

I honestly hate the 3.0 UBs. The translucent cage and the straight lines of the knit just seem a bit off-putting... Not even gonna start with the toe... Blah. Same reason why I don't like the newer PK NMDs - I don't like the knit pattern.

That said, should some CW look good, I may reconsider but chances are, I'll stick to looking for another pair of 2.0s if I'm gonna drop another $180 for UBs.

Nice. Just ordered the white and black 3M rope laces for the two 3M ultra boosts I just got. I love how rope laces look for some reason.

And yeah, 3.0 doesn't look too hot yet. Much prefer 1.0 and 2.0's but we'll see as they into more colorways.

Awesome. Here's what my UBs look like with the flat laces:

Damn, adidas.com just dropped the Olive 2.0's, the clear Onix 2.0 and a new grey 2.0.

Really don't want to buy a third pair of shoes this week, but I like that Onix pair...

The Bape NMDs would have been so nice if they had been primeknit.

Reigning Champ UBs on the 29th.

Those new A1s look nice but I don't think i can match it with the kind of clothes I normally wear.

People go crazy for olive colorways. I noticed the olives always sell out with the uncaged as well.

I don't get it. Not that they look bad, but I dunno. Not really a fan of green personally. Like I'm much more tempted by the new Onix pair than the Olives.

Earth tones seems to be the trend right now. It's also the color pallet my tastes have been gravitating towards.

Also that pastel colored jacket on that adidas site when I went on.

Video of presentation of the new, AF1`s

Yeezy influence in full effect. Or, I guess, just the military combat boot trend. They're ok I guess. I just hate how thick the AF1 midsole is.

Those AF1 in olive look great, but should have straight up gone for lace ups, no straps.

Still, these days if I'm going to spend money on something nice it's unlikely to be Nike, unless it's a pair of blazers, still my favorite shoe of theirs, got four pairs.

And yeah olive color rocks.

The olive SF-AF1s are dope, cheaper than I expected them to be too. £159 and all the pairs come with a tote bag too. Can't afford them at the moment though.

Packer x Adidas NMD. 19th November.

Oh wow, that's a great CW. How come Adidas has produced such great CWs for the NMD this year, but quite a few of the gradient UB ones are so rubbish?

haha I got that too and used it as well!

They had lettermans for $85 which would have been about $60 after discount. Didn't have my size though. They also had the white/red 4's for $150 so $105 after discount. Pretty sure they didn't have my size either on those, but I'm not a fan of them.

Money's tight this month. Passing on the Black Toes 1s and Bape NMD. Going to try my luck on the 3s though. Those are fire!
