Is the one on the left a "rare air' concept or a market stall knock off?

The left one somehow stockX got a lower price, looks like no one want it ha ha

Picked up a pair of 992s, seems like New Balance is going heavier on this model this year.
Quite comfy, might get the core grey model eventually as well.

Been after these for some time now, finally caught the restock.
Timeworn Clothing / Butcher Products deck sneakers, compared to the terrible US Rubber Co. ones I got a few years back these feel great.
I really like the sneakers from TWC and appreciate that they make them up to size US12! I like their clothes too but sometimes it's a little too cosplay for me.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ great! Another sneaker i don't need!

[MJF9]

^^ nice skater-boy cosplay there Austin

[Double 0 Soul]

Very nice!

Are they 'Perfect Fitting'.. the toebox looks quite pointy?

I love the pooch on the heel patch 😍

I'd sort them laces out tho.. parallel would look nicer

[Broark]

00 I think some of the pointy-ness can be attributed to the rubber apron running up quite high along the toe box.
Just gave them a spin today when going to the barber and they're very comfy. Whoever they're using to produce these in Japan make very nice rubber soles / insoles.
I'll give some different lace layouts a try!

[Double 0 Soul]

They certainly look robust

Leg twist on my Resolute has passed the centre point and is heading ever further inwards

Very nice, i really want to get a pair of the hightops. 

I saw you got them 2 years ago how did they last?

Yes the two pairs of high tops that I have are holding up very well.
I haven't been wearing them too much lately since it's getting warmer here and I prefer low tops in the summer.
The leather pieces along the back and eyelets is one of my favorite features.
I'm always keeping an eye out for any new colors that they release.

How is the sizing compared to maybe a converse or any other sneaker?

I'd say about the same as Converse, maybe half a size smaller.
I haven't worn any 70s in a few years, but the last pair I had were 11.5 and the TWC sneakers are size 12.
For what it's worth I prefer the fit and feel of the TW sneakers.

[MJF9]

I'm a sucker for a pair of Superstars... especially moc croc (tis true)... Wales Bonner version here... proper comfy too... plus Canes M41001

[Double 0 Soul]

Nice^.. Sarah used to wear Superstars,  I always preferred Campus

A pair of hers poking out from flared Wranglers sometime in the 90s

Campus look weird af nowadays.. a completely different shoe to the Campus of the 90s.. even the 2000s repros look like a weird fat skate shoe

this lovely sillouhette in 95

..to this a repro of a 2000 era Campus .. apparently?

..what he fuck are they thinking?

[PrettyBoyTony]

Pretty disappointed in NB. These have lasted about 8 months and I've worn them roughly 3 times a week prob less in the winter. Are the made in UK/US more robust? Shame as they are so comfortable. I have a pair of Mizuno running shoes I ran a marathon in and are still my gym shoes despite being 6 years old. Still not falling apart...

[Geeman]

I've had zero issues with the USA &UK made pairs after years of wear

I really didn't know Flower Mountain until it was brought up here some months ago. I definitely found them intersting but too playful for me.
But this version speaks to me

These are beautiful. Kind of wish they still existed.

My one slight issue i have with this^ style of footwear, be it Asics, New Balance or what'evs is that most of them look like shit once they’ve been worn in for a few months, whereas a pair of Chucks, AJ1s, Vans for instance get better or should i say.. look no worse at each stage of wear.

Take Chucks (basketball / gym shoe style) for instance.. it doesn't matter how fucked this type of shoe gets.. they can be falling to pieces and still look great, you can wear a battered old pair of Chucks and dress them up with a good pair of jeans.. they can always be part of a dope looking outfit, whereas when NBs start to stain and yellow, they could still have years of wear left but even a good pair of jeans can't save them.. and by the time they do have holes, they just make you look down at heal, like you're long overdue a new pair of sneaks.

They can also make you look like a clueless suburban dad whose wife buys his shoes based on whatever’s cheapest in Sports Direct/TK Maxx. Not anyone on Sufu of course, who undoubtedly will have the swagger to pull them off, but you know, those other people…

[Double 0 Soul]

I don’t mind admitting that I’ve got nowhere near enough swagger to pull them off..
