converse fast break (highs, obv)

Yeah me too

What's with the trend for "Exposed Foam Tongue"? I hate it, it looks like the shoe is either unfinished or falling apart.

I don't mind it, but my missus keeps telling my sb blazers are coming apart because the tongue has exposed foam, no matter how many times I tell her that's how they were made.

StockX tells me 512 pairs sold over the last 3 days. Average price >$850

Hello, first time on this thread as I need some advice. I’m finding myself increasingly fussy with my trainers. Currently wear some Asics, Hoka (just for running), Nike and they’re comfy, but looking to buy a bit more solid feeling sneakers. Tried Karhu Aria 95, digging the look, but they felt a bit weird like they’re forced my foot to over pronate. Was thinking Saucony Jazz 81 or Shadow 5000… any other recommendations? Thanks

This reminds me I really need to get going on my StockX-disrupting side project. I mean, traded commodities being transported to the exchange to be verified post-sale, then being actually shipped to the buyer is frankly prehistoric. Let alone having to be re-authenticated if sold again!

It really should be possible to instantly trade digital certificates representing pre-authenticated pairs (or fractions of pairs) held in trust. Then you'd open up opportunities via options, short-selling, mutual (perhaps index-linked) funds, derivatives etc.

It should also massively improve fungibility, in that sizing would become completely irrelevant.

Thoughts?

RFID blockchain?

Not enough info here. This thread tends to be more about the fashion of trainers over fit.

Would help to know about your feet a bit more before making any recommendations. If you get on with Hoka’s have you tried their casual lines? They’re nice and are casual.

Adidas forum was my take too. Or if you can find them A Stan Smith mid.
Adidas " nizza high"
Adidas "Americana"
Converse "Pro leather"
Adidas "top ten'

Yeah they missed the boat on this was such an easy idea

There will be another drop in August. Possibly with alternate colourways.

Thanks, Sounds promising as I never received any notification or opportunity to purchase after signing up.

SNKRS have given me early access to the Off White AF1 mids.

Does using the early access give you more early access in the future?

Not overly fussed with them, but could always flip them later. Or wear them, they are weird but in a good way (IMO)

What's with the spikes?! 😂

"fashion" innit

Weird shit to be quirky for the sake of it I guess.

Get them flip them. Go for a slap-up dinner

This seemed like the appropriate place for these

I got early access on a few bits starting with Off White Dunks but then it just seems to have stopped dead

A lot of these on eBay atm with 0 bids

Seen a guy in I think Dunks. Maybe blazer? Mid/high tops anyway.
They were a sandy beige suede with a black tick and AC patch on the heel. Maybe another patch too, like a silhouette.

Anyone have any ideas what they could be?

Swerved the OW AF1s, CBA to get into flipping and didn't like them enough for myself.

Did order these this morning though (general release)
