Yes, to clarify, I was referring to the product promotions (eg. V26-A, V28-W, V27-M, and first half of V-21A).

I'm annoyed at myself for not liking these campaigns, as they are clearly having fun. Personally I feel that the approach and aesthetic of the last two footwear releases are cringey when compared to the clean, stripped down and immutable style of the clothing line promotions. Even though they've clearly spared no expense the former just feels cheap in comparison - which kind of echoes my sentiments regarding the 2nd gen Prestos, as well as the change in palette. Anyway, who the fuck am I to judge. Edit: Having said that, the Sorayama aesthetic of the print campaign is pretty cool. https://blog.endclothing.com/nike-x-acronym-presto-launching-20th-september/

P30-CH in L up on site.

Might be a stupid observation, but I'm really against the overbearing use of branding on these. Logos all over the front and cage, name on the side, repeated alongside the border... One of the beauties of ACRONYM is the fact that branding is subtle, with the option to completely remove from the clothing. This just seems ostentatious in comparison.

Is this a true product shot...? If so, it's interesting that they've added the round, "strengthened" (for lack of a better term) dot at the front of the plastic cage. I found that the material on the previous gen all rubbed through quickly in this area.

From Adam Harvey's site... So probably a one-off experiment.

CH is life

The grey is the better of the three, but I just don't feel it's anywhere near as satisfying a combo as the bamboo/black from the previous run. Unless of course the final product is drastically different from the leaked shots.

Kill it with fire

Yep.

I'm not a fan either...

Hahha, true, but... it's one thing to raise prices and retain integrity, which I'm fine with, and another to push items to the market that would have otherwise fallen on the edit room floor for the sake of a couple of $$$

Personally I don't know why they're doing a second round of these. The new colourways seem incredible cheap compared to the originals.

Man, thank you so much for these snaps. So good. Really looking forward to the P17 comparison!

Agree... I always saw their implementation of the drop crotch as meeting the needs of martial artists. I found this pretty clear from their videos, the close resemblance to the "real thing", and of course, this quote: "I was always trying to find pants that I could wear and kick in"
