Trainers

I have to say I really like the Off White x Nike stuff. It's post-modernism, in the architectural sense.

Edit: and a quick Google confirms that Mr Abloh studied architecture in the 90s like me, so guess that's why it appeals.

Can you expand on this 'post modernism' please?

(The trainer variety)

All I see is unfinished blanks and prototypes.

Thus a deconstruction of both the physical item and the very notion of a product. So far, so Derelicte (or £800 Yeezy holey jumper). But the faux-naively applied self-referential text -- Arial, not Helvetica, of course* -- complete with "irony marks" lets us in on the joke...

...is what I would have written in my essay back then.

(* not actually true)

I like the AM90s, the AM97s and the vapormaxs . the touches give off of a brutalist vibe for me. the tags, minimal flashes of day glo stitching and low opacity midsole/ uppers reminds me of futuristic medical supplies in an oddly violent way

I'm still waiting for the Chuck Taylors to be released, they are really smart.

Also like the look of the new undercover Lab Nike trainers

Never thought I'd actually like some spans but of course Patta can change my mind

Not for me either, I assume this drop was actually limited unlike the other stuff.

In the previous Off White drops, a mate at work won 3 pairs, every single cousin of mine that entered won, and another mate entered to win a pair for his gf, he didn't know she entered too and they both won.

The Jordan’s have always been the most limited and I think this was a v limited drop.

My friend Jo just made these! Not sure how practical but I admire the DIY skills!

Great 👍👍 like you said not sure how practical but they look great.

FFS mate.

It's a fucking Tiger

Why do they bring back the corniest Atmos shoes whilst the Viotech pack is ignored? And the AF1 + Dunk Low Blue/Grey?

Anyone getting into the various raffles for the Air Max 97/1's?

I've never bothered before but thought I may as well try my luck with probably the most overhyped/oversubscribed shoe in recent times.

It's absolutely shite eh.

Anyone get the Wotherspoons? Thought I’d got lucky but nada

😓 had them in the cart but timed out at checkout, gutted. They look mint.

Did not get. Tried with the raffle at End.

Are these worth anything to someone on here? Haven’t worn them in years and want to get shot. I got both pairs of OG laces. No idea what collab they were or if they anything special. Size 8 if anyone’s interested

The phantom restock of these was today for AM day, 3.26pm. But they decided to do it EU time not UK time so missed out on trying again for these and the atmos animal am1's. Gutted!

Don't think I got a pair of the 97/1's.

It was my first raffle so I wasn't holding out much hope. Its a sad day when I'm miffed that I didn't win the chance to spend $215 dollars on a pair of multi coloured shoes.

I only enter to flip on those sort of things.
Unless I really liked them.

Are they dead?
Never to be purchased again?
