^dead at your j3j3 apology p0h

that aside, matchplays aren't bad. shoe's always seemed pretty okay with the side panels coming down that low. that particular color always made me think of miharayasuhiro pumas or something tho.

am i the only one on here who still thinks kzk collabo stuff is cool? i've been looking at these among other things and they've been making me feel ways

who buys the Jeremy Scott shit

it seems to always make it to final sale and I haven't met even the corniest hypebeast wearing some

ultra fashun folks and kpop bandwagoneers (at least that's how it is here) + insano clothes homosexuals, no offense meant.

i would rather go this direction of adidas collaborations personally

there are far better eqt supports out there! i personally think it's a good looking shoe but anything that has to do with fieg imo isn't worth it at all. don't bother. you can get eqt supports for cheap if you look around enough; oddity pack ones are cheap for instance and far more interesting imho

A bit long, but definitely in line and at the bar of things adidas has been releasing as of late. I.e. short but content heavy and carefully targeted pornographic short films aimed at (re-)educating a specific segment of consumers. I realize now that it is potentially pulling to surface a lot of nostalgia and fondness for their older almost cultish product lines that may not have even been there prior for a lot of people, myself included.

 

I would like to think that it is a forward (even delayed depending on which side of the spectrum you look at) response to address a lot this growing fondness for the "old weird sneaker" or an attempt to establish/create a bigger technical sneaker base for adidas in a way that Nike has always had theirs with the Air Maxes and ACGS. 

 

When people told me earlier this year that "they (adidas) pawned a lot of Nike marketing heads", I did not quite know what it would mean for the brand, and how it would affect me as an end consumer–now I do. 

Pardon me while I wipe the drool of my lip as I contemplate the well-being of my credit balance.

 

Sorry for this excessively long and rambly post, but I'd like to think that other people think about this shit here or am I alone in my head here?

I feel sort of how you feel, but i have already known of the adidas eqt line from awhile back just wasn't as interested at the time. Also it was difficult to find eqt basketball in sz 13 anywhere when i did want them. But ebay is a thing and finally found a 9/10 pair for 40 usd, besides the point. But it was accessibility before they made it a bit hard to locate sizes locally as i remember searching around '06 or '07 and in the US most of the eqt basketball were collabs or dropped mainly in the midwest if anywhere. It just wasn't that popular i guess..

It's exactly what I mean though. They're sort of redistributing that experience of knowing what EQT is to people who didn't know prior. Kind of like bringing particular bits of heritage back to the fore.
