Let's talk about Black Hi Tops .......

[cyberPUNK]

that's worth getting a proxy in europe to pick those up. fucking nice.

[Guest umhaha84]

I tried those some time ago at barneys.

shit looking shoes.

[freecat]

the quality is like way worse than converse and the leather doesn't even look like leather. i had a pair like... 3 years ago and sold them quickly.

[DJ_Flame]

I just wear them to clubs...trash shitty kicks concept.

[ouss]

come on...arretez de faire les fines bouches...i do have them so sure they are not the most premium kicks in this world but they are not that shitty...especially for 16 euros

[freecat]

they're fine if you pay less than 50€ for them. when i bought mine it was for way more in a shop. luckily i managed not to lose that much.

they r ysl'z, wan' kop? sort of dont wear em enough

edit: nvm too small 4 u, fits like a US10ish (too big for me.. sorta)

[bill]

I dont know why he didnt made his astros in black leather sooner..

[freecat]

if i'm not mistaken they've already been released in black leather some times ago. the vandals are pure sex.

[echoepidemic]

yeah the black leather was out in 2009 i think...

but damn they look good (both of them)

[home]

fuck yeah, vandals are back.

i'm a sucker for the slightly-higher-than-usual-cut.

edit: how are the AMQs, polish?

[polishmike]

I got the black ones that I posted. Didn't wear them yet cause I still have the same model from few years ago. Love them for that price.

[U MAD]

Even though I gave that stuff up.. still want Raf sneaks. I miss my [black leather] velcro hi tops, they were dope too.

[home]

i love my velcro hi tops too, but fuck they kill my feet. right on the heal. i chew through socks in them. maybe i've just got a dud pair..

[bill]

same with mines. The heel padding/reinforcing?

[freecat]

it's weird i had the black velcro hitops for 2 years now and even though they're a size smaller than i should have bought, they're very comfy.

[HAMA]

this been posted yet?

Lows look better imo.

[homi29]

anyone have the raf vandals? im kinda fiendin em in navy, never saw them anywhere though

[panicnation]

i believe minou has a pair

[HAMA]

i'm new, but when i did lurk i remember his being patent black.

[bill]

I thought his were made from nylon?

From what I remember, they hold up well. Sure, your feet kind of hurt after a full day of walk, at the start (because of the sole), but they're very nice.

nothing weird about this at all. i own two different sizes/sets for various velcro highs. it's simple really. you can adjust sneakers with a traditional lacing system, but can only go so far with the velcro. so when i initially bought my first pair of rs velcros my feet would move. my heels hitting the back, because i was not able to tighten them precisely to the point i do with a trad lacing system. thus there was more movement and pressure/friction esp at the heel. so i went down a size and voila!

[defiance]

as much as i remember the navy raf vandals were only made in nylon.
