116740 APPROVED SHOES

[Northwest]

Heavily cosign the combo of boost and primeknit, but a warning that the breathability of the other Goretex NMDs I have is limited. Would be better as a winter shoe than a fall shoe depending on local conditions. Summer is a no go.

My feet run hot in general. No sweat fortunately, but they get toasty easy. Which fortunately makes for sometimes easy dibs on winter gear. I’m based in Maine, which for the uninitiated, is in the north eastern tip of the Continental US. Shit gets a lot of precipitation. All year round. Be it hot or cold. It gets a little hot(90+ F) for a bit. It gets fairly cold(-F to 32 F) for a bit more.

I hate anything with insulation on my feet. (My body apparently regulates temp from either end of it as I also hate hats.) Winter 17/18 I ran with a pair of Palladium’s heavily dosed with Grangers. They performed pretty well overall. Snow melt didn’t penetrate when I came indoors the majority of times, and they held enough heat for my weird feet. Still leaked occasionally snow wise, but overall worth the lack of of a clunky boot. 

Spring rains however... 

 

If these NMD’s actually keep shit dry for real, they may be my final winter solution.

They tick most of my:

‘why is the damn sole white when the rest is black’ and ‘why are we still using laces’ boxes.

 ...and damn if Boost isn’t fucking fun to run around on in any terrain... Def gonna keep an eye on these.

@Yoshiii any idea if there will be a mid version of the bamba 3s coming out? Also, if you have any bamba 2 mids in all black size 42 I'd purchase them.

Adidas keeps putting out tech-like heaters. Foot version of SISP glitch knits have to be inbound if they can do this sort of thing.

Hi, I'm assuming you're referring to the Salomon Bamba 3 and not mainline Bamba's? If so, I haven't seen anything of it. At least not yet. 

Personally, I couldn't really imagine it happening. For it to be a mid, they'd have to remove the sock like upper which would really take away from the shoe. I don't think they would do that.

On another note, the sock like upper does seem to be very inspired by another shoe we all love. Nonetheless, they've executed it rather well.

Adidas NMD TS-1 in Shock Green. Both this and the blacked out Goretex version I posted above are releasing at midnight on the Adidas website as the 5th turns to the sixth, so midnight tomorrow.

[Yoshiii]

Quick update for those that are interested. BBS x Salomon's should be arriving this month. Around September is the usual delivery window and I believe they've now started some small shipments. 

Hopefully I'll have an update shortly.

Copped a pair a them GTX NMD’s

[bouncingsoul]

The new ones in triple black are a bit too stealthy for me, especially in combination with the price tag of 230€. But I can assure you that you‘ll love them. I got last years nmd cs1 gtx and they are awesome.

The BBS X Salomon Speedcrosses are very versatile and most comfortable pair of shoes I've owened. Somebody posted the all white pair and I dislike all white shoes as I typically wear always black tops/bottoms so they would stick out like a sore thumb, and it's also more prone to getting dirty/showing wear. I've used them in urban commutes it looks great paired with Veilance as a clean pair of commute shoes, and for light hiking both. The pointed toe might turn certain people off but this colorway is alot better/more clean than most Salomons. The logo doesn't really stick out too much either which is a nice factor. However I might suggest sizing up .5 or 1 on these I've talked with a few owners of these shoes and they all say a .5 sizeup is suggested typically. 

 

 

[branespload]

i mean those are cool but you can get all black salomons from the s/lab line for much less than a BBS collab. that's why i prefer the all white ones since you cant really get all white salomons otherwise, with the exception maybe being the new ADV line for fw18 (still has some grey to them)

[danii]

the all black S/LABs have flashy salomon logo on the side.

I saw all white speedcross 3 in outlet center few years back, I guess all white trail running shoes were not popular with trail runners. I thought they were samples but there are still knock-off versions of those.

[Toilettebun]

I bought the speedcross 4 wide and angelus paint. After 1 good session of painting it's blacked out and costed me 1/2 the price of the BBS collab

[SoraL]

Yeah true, to be fair I got mine like 60-65% off? I would not pay retail for these at all

[Marw]

Heads up: get 25% off at Caliroots with the code LLL25

Works on the NMD_TS1 GTX

[Yoshiii]

Okay, so we've just received a lot of boxes of BBS. It’s pretty safe to assume that there will be footwear in there somewhere. We haven’t gone through it yet and we may not till Monday now. 

I thought I'd give a heads up, I'll be posting more information shortly.

[Marw]

End x Clarks

I feel like the idea is better than the execution. But these might grow on me.

[eloq]

i tried on the new bamba 3 salomons...tried my regular size (biggest size they had in store) and the ribbed ankle area is very tight to get into. when i did get into em, it fit well but I could not zip it up on the side. so if you got a wide feet like me, might wanna size up FYI. 

[Yoshiii]

Okay, here goes. This is our first delivery, we should have another arriving by the end of this week with more styles.

So far we've received 3 colours of the new Nordic Hybrids / Bamba 3's.Two dyed variations and the original colourway. I'd say they fit slightly smaller then the Bamba 2's a lot of you guys own. (The highs) You could go TTS but I'd personally recommend going half a size up. If it helps I went TTS (UK10) with the Bamba 2's. They fit my left foot perfectly and are a bit snug on my right foot. The Bamba 3's TTS (UK10) fit my left foot well but are too tight on my right foot so UK10.5 is better for me.

Is there no UK9.5 / US10 available? ...

Unfortunately not.

Between past season feedback / sell through and because of how weird the sizing is on them we decided to skip sizes somewhere. Otherwise we found we ended up with too many sizes at certain points. I.e there would be two sizes on the same EU size, an EU43 1/3 and EU43 2/3. We tried to have one pair offered at each European size. 

---

Also a little update on water resistance.

Using the image below to illustrate; the zipper appears to be water resistant and the upper (excluding the contrast heel) also appears to be made out of a water resistant fabric. On top of that, the fabric supporting the zipper has been sealed rather that stitched to the upper so I think this would offer some water resistance. Better than the Bamba 2's.

ugh that’s quite unfortunate for guys like me...

Not recent, but the new Puma Han Kjobenhavn's came out and I really liked the pair my friend picked up so I want digging. These feel very desert punk in a good way; black is subtler? And then I am posting the Puma x UEG's as well because they are a funny precursor to the Off-White hooplah and text on shoes in particular. Images off of Grailed. I preferred the lows, but the highs are for sale.

 

 

[Yoshiii]

Okay, a new delivery. This time around it's Bamba 2's.

I guess no sizing explanation needed many already own previous iterations of these. Four colours available. What's worth noting is the fabric has gone back to that used before SS18. Parts of the upper aren't that lightweight, square mesh fabric but more so a woven upper like previous pairs. I hope that makes sense.

Now, as for prices and sizes here goes;
