luvin my CT70's

 

[Fycus]

This is one of the color ways which is like almost every season for addict. Semi reg.

Rather pay $100 using custom, but what is the turn around time?

 

2-3 weeks from design to door (from converse.com) Also a free shipping coupon for customs right now. Figured it would be worth it. Keep in mind I did off-white as opposed to the true white which are on the addicts model.

Got the cons today, total turn around time from design to arrival is 16 days to west coast. Not bad at all. The off white is a lot more yellow than I had hoped (I was looking for a natural looking canvas). I'm wondering if the regular white would have been a better choice. Still good for some beaters, and unique to boot.

Urban Outfitters has several pairs on clearance on their site. Navy, mustard, camo, maybe a couple more.

Anyone know if there's a dif between the first string 70's and the newer 70's they released?

According to Oi Polloi website:

 

For those who are wondering, these are pretty much exactly the same as the ‘First String’ ones we got last year. The only difference we can spot is that they’ve got a slightly different heel tab and heel panel.

are those mid cut jack purcells off of rakuten legit? anyone know where i can get them stateside?

[itsbenhere]

These are tight...def worth a cop.  I saw a pair of visvims in my size on auction and i was going to get but honestly I probably just get as much enjoyment out of these!

 

[WussWayne]

Can't say I'm fond of the plastic-like look the 70's cons have

[howl]

plastic-like?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^think he means the sort of glossy finish on the midsole/toecap

personally it's not all that apparent when handled and i imagine it'll wear in interestingly

[Mikeyone4life]

I wasn't a big fan of that glossy look at first but it does fade after several wears.

[super]

 

these are pretty clean minus the laces. CP looking uppers, con soles, MIJ too.

i'm US 11 and I get that feeling.  I think the clown effect stops around US 10.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^they run big, too. but yeah. i bought a pair of 10s and they feel borderline clown-y sometimes.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Zip Burnished Suede 

[POLYGAMY]

I purchased the black ones and they came in the mail today. They're a half size too big (I should be an 8.5) 

for me unfortunately. The suede is a little thin but overall they're pretty nice. If anyone has a black pair in 8.5 and interested in trading please message me yo. Worst comes to worse I'll just return it.

wish there wasn't a zipper on it tho

I feel you on this. That is what puts me on the fence about these. And the zipper pulls too.
