Got mine after the volt collection dropped with this pic. Love all the colors here. Shoes were just sitting on the Nike site. A-Cold-Wall did a Vomero collab around this time. Maybe thats why they became popular?

How do they run size wise?

 

[jclark216]

Vomeros were sitting everywhere for 30-50% off but then a few IG accounts started posting them and they blew up. Great shoe, but not worth $300+ for sure

Yup got mine for dirt cheap. Even after the A Cold Wall ones. It was weird. Out of nowhere they went up in price

 

[jclark216]

can you compile some of those fit pics that inspired you? struggling to see how enticing they can look but want to see if I can be convinced otherwise.

 

[norsefanboi]

If you're looking for a similar silhouette, the New Balance 2002r is available in a Cream/Bone colourway, and will also drop in white at some point soon

FYI threw this FG knit on real quick w/ himalayan to keep it JE-friendly. FG felt hoodie ran pretty cropped/small. It's nice and has somewhat of the sundrenched/washed effect. No pics bc too small on me. Sized wrong so I struck out bc OOS now so I'll wait for official release later on. Knit hoodie is very well made. $1100? Maybe...If iI was still in NYC and things were normal...but staying at home + being in LA...is there really a need to decorate this in my closet? Probably not.

That shits real nice man!
I can't fathom spending $1100 on a hoodie but if I did, that would be the look I'd be going for. Himalayan looks good too. Is it noisy when you move about?

yes it is definitely just hype now cause few IG account hyped them up. I love that shoe but would never wear that style so I bought a pair for my gfs dad and they are his favorite pair of sneakers now.

I have mix feeling about this hoodie. To me it looks like mix of two weird styles. A super fine knit sweater for yacht club people mixed with a hoodie. You wanna wear a hoodie but still show you are rich vibe or something like that. lol
This wasn't meant to be offensive or anything it just gives me wrong vibe.

I feel like it’s the waist band being ribbed that gives that vibe?

I appreciate pictures as I was interested in how it would look.

yes waist bad and cuff on the sleeves mostly. But still knitted hoodie is just a nonsense. It just shows what "fashion" came up to. When they run out if ideas how to sell you "premium" stuff.

I love the look of this, and it's one of the pieces I wanted but it's just not unique enough for being $1100 because at the end of the day it's still a hoodie. If you wear that, and I wear JE's Boucle hoodie I feel like to 99% of the world it just registers as guy in hooded sweatshirt. It's like buying a Ferrari that kinda still looks like a BMW. I wouldn't knock anybody that did it, but even if this hoodie was $500-600, I would have a hard time justifying but $1100 is really Jerry just seeing how far he can push his fanbase.

Jerry seeing how much he can insult his fanbase*

I know some people don't vibe wit FOG or Jerry like that...but to be fair, JE does it sometimes too. They're selling $1700 pants right now lol. It's all good though, cause people gotta make their own decisions about whether something is worth it or not.
