    Seul beat me to it. This piece of shit robbed literally hundreds of $ from people on the IH forum.

    Complete fucking scum, avoid him like the plague.

    Wait what? Are you saying people didn’t get shit I mailed? I haven’t looked at that forum in ages cause I got bored with it.

    I don't think that means you can cart. I know quite a few people who couldn't get a pair. I was trying on EU release and it was the same. 

    I got my pair at 1:05 and my girlfriends pair at 1:45. They just didn’t sell out as fast. 

     

    And reminder: don’t pay reseller prices, ever.  Hopefully this will slow down all the ACR hype and disgusting scumbags will leave it alone.

    I tried adding size 11.5 to my cart the second after they dropped (4 am for Canadians on the east coast) and couldn't get em. Maybe the level of traffic fucked with their queue system because it would disconnect me after a few minutes.

    Strange, was 1pm EST here in the USA. A lot of sizes were available for a few hours on the SNKRS app

  4. XL in most tops aren’t big enough for broad shoulders and 36 as the largest size of pants is ridiculous. 

     

    Id think clothing based around movement would be possible for those with “active” body types but it seems as with all other fashion it’s cut for scrawny pencil necked geeks.

    They are not exactly community either, I personally feel that the community sales thread is a bit of a misnomer, a bit of a wild west grailed these days.

     

    People joining 3 months ago and selling used stuff for over retail isn’t what this was supposed to be.

    Glad I got mine when they were barely able to sell for $800 a few months ago. Y'all is crazy with these prices

  7. My KMTR will be here today, I also received the FW tech fleece sweatpants on Saturday ($60 yo) and the olive cargos on Friday ($150 yo) 

     

    the KMTR is exactly how I expected it to be  lightweight, soft, and supremely cozy. I took an 11.5 in them, I wear a 12 in flyknit racers and an 11 in sock darts. The buckle takes some getting used to to close it while the shoe is on, and the small strings to tighten the shoes are great. If they would do these with a thicker dry skin esque material I'd probably jizz a little.

     

    i sized up on the cargos from my first pair, L to XL, and I gotta say the cut is way different. Not as aggressively tapered, and much longer. The thighs and waist are about the same as the large. I threw them in the wash on high heat and dried the same and they lost a lot of the length. The fabric is way heavier, but less breathable and the stretch isn't as noticeable  

     

    The tech fleece sweats are GIANT. I could probably fit a medium. Super drop crotch, and just slightly too long to be a cropped fit. I'll keep these and try and grab some smaller sizes just to try. I know now not to buy the wovens in this size now.

    KMTR's just arrived, went with my true size and they're totally too big.

    Is anyone else surprised with how they feel in hand? They just feel a little flimsy imo, granted they were one of the cheaper pieces from the collection, i guess i just raised my hopes a little too high

    I have a feeling the FW version (if they make one) will be more like a schoeller dryskin for the top.

    I was on line waiting to check out the new ACG line at 21 Mercer when I overheard another guy on line say that they had a random restock of 36 pairs of Acronym Prestos. When I checked out at the register, I asked the employee if this was true and he confirmed yes it was and not even they knew it was coming.  

     

    Anyone heard about this also? Better yet, anyone able to snag a pair?

    Did they say when?

    Uh, getting the original prices of the clothes is literally a google search away. Do people really just sit on grailed all day and think "hmm, this seems worth it?"

    I'm not talking about retail, I'm talking about value.  A worn set 1 should be more valuable than a used J1A-S. it's an issue when the secondary market value is being determined by the sellers and not the consumers. 

  11. Had a discussion with a friend about artificial inflation. Got it based on occult books we collect. 

     

    See, when 1-2 people extremely artificially inflate the price of an object, other people with that object or similar objects will also push their prices higher. Maybe not sky high as the original inflators, but still way beyond market value. When you see an object then posted at a much lower price, the uninformed  consumer won't go for it, assuming it's fake or damaged, since they are used to the artificial prices. 

     

    The only way way to combat this is to let the market determine value. 2 months ago p-10's were selling for $500-$600. New consumers didn't see those, so now they assume they are worth $1200+. It'll only be when either:

    1. They get tired of having their products sit and take them lower

    2. The market is continuously introduced to objects in the more correct market value. 

     

    Feeding into the flames by selling your own your own products at the artificial inflation may be nice to your wallet, but it will hurt later on down the road.
