Put your feet into plastic bags and away you go. Or get some neverwet.

Plastic bag, Never wet on neoprene?! Idk breh, it ain't that serious. I'll wait till they have an iteration of the qasa' that are somewhat water proof/ish

The goretex socks are pretty good, albeit expensive. When I was a courier years ago they were sworn by in the wet winter. For most applications, I've found a simple leather boot and wool sock to be effective. Sometimes low-tech is the best tech.

these goretex socks? 

Rocky Gore-Tex Sock SPOTLITE REVIEW

 

 

I'm always concerned about the breath-ability of goretex... If anyone with qasas tries these socks out, please post a review.

[Loos Threads]

 

Yeah, those are the ones. 

 

Lots of reviews here: http://www.mec.ca/product/4000-338/rocky-stretch-gore-tex-oversocks-unisex/

I want a date with Tao Okamoto too, but that's about as likely as Y3 making a waterproof anything qasa.

It's techwear as fuck, it's a new frontier in breathability; the look of a shoe, the function of a sandal.

never use neverwet... unless you want your shoes to look like they're jizzed on  they leave a cloudy milky look on your stuff.

The way most people react to finally getting their hands on a pair of Qasas I'd say this is probably a fairly standard look, actually.

Acronym and Arcteryx Veilance clothing is devastatingly nice. Gutted that the prices are so extortionate. I got a Veilance field jacket and treasure the little badger, but can't envision myself buying anymore unless I get rich

So did anyone get those Roshe NM Sneakerboots in the end? How's the sizing?

 

Or is everyone on the Tubular train now.

 

Also ordered the new Extra-Warm Heattech from Uniqlo. Wasn't all too impressed with the regular version last year but the fabric and the styling on the new one looks more like a normal tee.

I've yet to find the particular iteration I posted in here for sale. I've seen the low version but the black leather mids are nowhere to be found.

They're up on the Nike website 

Also KithNYC. US of course.

I ordered TTS. I'll let you know how they fit. Not a lot of talk about these with the Tubulars + Yeezis coming out soon I guess.

Got mine today.  Fit is exactly Roshe Run.  Leather is really nice/soft.  The sole is a darker grey than it appears in the photos. They are warm without being thick/bulky. Overall: beautiful, simple and comfy.

not usually into suitcases as a carry on prefer holdall/weekenders like my killspencer but very tempted by this.

Tracking sounds fun, proximity lock doesn't. 

[kindofyoung]

Would very much appreciate fitpics of roshes. In the pics I've seen the sole doesn't really look the same as with normal roshes, like it's too thin in the front compared to the back. Then again I think I've seen the same thing with normal mesh roshes but also pics where it looks more "proportional", so it might have to do with weight+how you size them.

Seriously embarrassing write-up. IMO, future of tech(wear) is in integrating new materials and construction techniques in seamless ways, not in tacking on a bunch of features that connect to your smartphone. The less time you have to spend or rely on computers to live your everyday life, the better. You're going to be fucked when your phone runs out of batteries and you can't open your suitcase to charge it. Grab a lightweight cuben duffle that folds up into an envelope, or a black Rimowa that's going to last forever without a software update.
