They really had to be Céline SS14... FML.

[Appleseed]

Dunno if u was just a glimmer in yr daddy's eye or a load at the time, but these were wack as fuck.

 

Ha- I still have a pair of NW snowboard boots. The shoes were...uh, not my style? But much respect for their MTB and snow divisions.

Thread hasn't been bumped in 2 days?  wtf

Here's some low-qual photos of pump fury collabs courtesy of sneaker freaker

May or may not getting around to scanning

Floral ones by Invincible, red by End, and gray knit by mita

[t0fu]

mita? damnit, well won't be able to grab those...

[Nebulae]

def. bummed about not being able to pick up the invincible release too

assuming they're sellouts

[frasier oiseau]

Nice, sounds like they'd be camping shoes! I'll have to track a pair down

[Northwest]

So many weird shoes, so little time. Dropping/dropped today at Hanon?

[cloonz]

aren't there 20+ pump fury collabs coming out this year?

[Nebulae]

probably, since it's the 20th anniversary or whatev but I just took pics of what was in sneaker freaker.  The releases in there only go up to April so we still got 8 months to go

[homme.homme]

20th anniversary of pump fury this year. 20th anniversary of air max 95 next year. 24 months of weird sneaker goodness.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

i remember a point in time when most people online hated the shit out of pump furys. wonder what happened? 


these are finally on the horizon. anticipating queues or stupid high reseller prices, sadly.

[t0fu]

wtf

[t0fu]

yea, its was actually there a year or more back, they took them down then recently put them back, thats why they are listed as new, so if you wanna do a pair i would advise doing it before end of year when they probably will go away again

[frasier oiseau]

 

Not exactly sneakers but I thought these were fantastic

[Denton]

raiden foamposites?  source?

MMM (??)

been mentioned a few times in the threak

 

it got taken down earlier last year so they could introduce the new version of the pump fury with the different sole construction for customization. im pretty salty about it because i never got to order my designs before they switched and the now new sole is fuggs =[

[Nebulae]

^wait yo the ones on the site rn aren't any different tho are they?

Same split-in-the-middle hoof heel bizz

I'm assuming u mean the change was to the flat sole (which they apparently reverted now?) or is there some slight difference that I'm missing

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

contrast the sole unit(s) on this

to the newer sole, which has weird edging cuts and ditches the dotting/ribbing texture


brief messing around with the pump fury id thingo has me realizing why i never felt okay with ordering a "custom" design


these are okay

if i could get any pump fury right now tho it'd be this still

ahh ok

looks like all new releases r like this tho huh

[t0fu]

well its no different from Nike's ID really. they know how to handicap it just enough so they can continue to make unique collab colorways. they know you could easily make something nice that some other company would make as a collab.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

ahh ok

believe so. seems like sole tooling/molds have been switched out for good? iunno really haha

you design these? these are pretty cool. but id's are tricky like that-----you gotta be super creative for them to work. whenever i try i always end up emulating a colorway that's already been released, cant bring myself to take any risks

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^i did, yes. growing on me and could imagine ordering either but i worry they'll be a far cry from what i'm actually imagining them to be. has anyone else ordered from reebok id whatnot b4? haha

EDIT 

some opinions valued on footwear i might cop for trail/hike use (not exclusively) as i can't seem to find tallacs in my size anymore ;_; 

these are p cool but remind me of my powerlines somehow. think it's the sole shape and pulls + nylon bits. also speckles and rubberized toe


i do however know for a fact i've always had a soft spot for these as well

but the d-rings have always felt slightly contrived x_x

think i posted one or two of these a lil ways back. used to own the Talaria wool pack sneakers, maximum comfy but a little clownish

was thinking about the octa dots the other day, shame they never came in especially appealing colorways
