Just got my 710s in. Went TTS. I'm loving the fit. Excuse the shitty pic.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks, BF, fresco. Yeah, it the reason I'm broke in the first place.

that sounds strangely familiar...

[beatle]

I think my favorite is the 0500XX in terms of fit and texture.

Anyway, I love all this shit.

Quoted for truth....

[SLAB]

still beating myself for missing out on the big USA sams.

24oz lht are increasingly seductive to me, might have to pick up a pair for the winter months ahead (but too many collabs coming out in the next few months that i'd like as well...)

[ThinFinn]

@xkhol: fit is perfect imho...

nice collection...+rep

[Marw]

[lilfatsupra]

Almost 3 months.

[pat!!]

about a year, need a wash

[SLAB]

S0510XX 24oz-L TTS or is it possible to size down one? (I have the chicken leg syndrome)

[chambo2008]

i think a few pages pack someone had the 24oz r tts and the 24ozl sized down one

[beautiful_FrEaK]

AFAIK these have the typically "Samurai-heavy-weight-problem" as they will shrink FROM tag size (like the 21oz and 24oz RHT version)

s003jp almost 7months

1 intial soak, forced 1st hand wash at 2nd month by sitting on a couch soaked with my adorable dog's pee.., 2nd real hand wash at 7th month.

The color in 2nd pic below is more realistic.

[beatle]

sure, just it was a hard time taking them with the right color... and I didn't make it for the back side pics. I didn't want to post poor pics.

wow that was quick!

or did you already had them at home and asked before you soaked them?

[SamRyz]

haha i was on my way back from ny when i had asked

[apples]

The S5000GX-S sky model (notice the suffix s for sora=sky) has been announced. I personally think that the other elements have more interesting wefts, these just look a little plain to me..

http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-02-f/sj-s5000gx-s.htm

[beautiful_FrEaK]

No, sky has already been announced.

There are 5 element models and this is the fifth = void/emptiness

[apples]

If it were void, the suffix would be k for kara=empty, but it is instead s for sora=sky. Unless of course they didn't want to have two pair's names ending in k (ie the this book and the wind one), and chose the other reading for 'empty' simply to avoid this problem..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I've no idea about the words so I just used google translate and there it says "empty" and talks about the fifth element which is void.

And as they announced earlier that the 5th element (viod/emptiness) will have a charcoal weft...well...that's enough to convince me to say the S5000GX-S is "void"

This is the "Wind" model, reagrding Samurai's announcement about the yellow/greenish weft color: http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-02-f/sj-s5000gx-k.htm

Sky was never mentioned. As you said above, it was "Wind"

[beautiful_FrEaK]

haha i was on my way back from ny when i had asked

So Lot.13, I assume? What size did you buy in the end? And if you bought them at BiG, I believe they could help you better in sizing then we can over the internet

Did you take measurements before and after?

[apples]

Although it is charcoal weft, the patch has light blue on it, and S is the first letter for sky in Japanese.. I'm just saying.

But this pedantry is missing the point, which was that it has finally been announced.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

But "sky" was never planned to be released...but you're right. It's announced and finally everybody can decide if he/she likes it.

I expected the weft to be a touch lighter. And about the color of the patch. What color would symbolize "void" in your opinion?

[apples]

Whatever colour a black-hole is (?)

I think charcoal was a bit of a let down, I was hoping for black weft. But it looks like they were saving black for the S634GX.

Please do tell about this s634GX?!

The Fifth Element model is meant to represent Void not Sky. Whether or not they they changed Void to Sky is besides the point because its really supposed to represent emptiness. With the weft being as dark as it is I still have hope that the denim itself will be Nando Nando like in color.

[HoustonChris]

Hmmm, I think I like Water and Wind best. This one is a bit of a let down. Oh well.

[raspberries]

just realized that I read Musashi's Book of Five Rings my junior year in high school. I dug it up from my bookshelf, and the last book is "No-thing"

In order it is

Book of Earth

Book of Water

Book of Fire

Book of Wind

Book of No-Thing
