Honestly some of the sickest Nike I’ve seen in a while.

It wasn’t just me, I had 3 people including a close friend who is a sneaker head (500+ pairs) all agree those things were bad, also I had the yellow pair possibly blue is slightly better

I haven’t handled in person but really impressed design wise from all the product shots and insta stuff. I think the issue is wearability if your not an instagram influencer. It’s just a really loud shoe. What’s stock x offerings looking like? Anything close to retail I’d hold on to them. The market for these is going to be pretty high in a few years imo.

Exactly they are super hard to wear esp with the loud yellow. My biggest pet peeve is white soles that oxidize and get dirty. Sadly i was reccomended to try the off white x nike black blazers but i sold them figuring they aren't for me, #regrets

Those are some try hard shoes anyways man. The 77 blazers > off white every day of the week.

I honestly don’t think any of the off white outside of the af1 were anything at all.

I mainly wear gr now and happier than I’ve ever been with my rotation. And not to brag, but I do have heat and I’d honestly just rather wear gr forces now bc the hype is so synthetic. The culture is gone.

gr now?

I agree off white's are pretty loud but i do think the presto, AJ1s and blazers were good. IDK if i want sneakers that cost that much.

I always wear my triple black presto and Gino Iannucci dunks.

Gr= general release (ie something you could get at footlocker).
Those dunks r hard for sure.

ahh yeah, i mostly wear GR stuff too, i dont like having to hunt down sneakers when there are a lot of great options on the shelf.

btw pretty peeved Nike doesn't have the presto triple blacks available anymore, i wanted an extra backup pair.

I’ve never worn prestos but such a timeless shoe. And the triple black is so sleek.
