Without seeing the grey N9000 in person, i'd say the 997 is a safe bet. Timeless silhouette and made in England.
I haven't bought a GR N9000 but i'm guessing they are made in Asia and would assume the materials and construction on the 997 >
RF blocked me cos I left a comment on his PONY colab saying it was like an online dating profile... description of the sneaker read well until you saw the photo
I really like the Packers, however, first thing i'd do is swap the laces out.
The Ferro's don't look bad in any photo i've seen so far, except for that photo with the terrible denim
I only have Made in Italy Diadora's and the construction/stitching on every pair has been on point.
The only issues i've had (and a lot of people on here) were with the Sol y Sombras denting on the toe. Other than this, you won't be disappointed.
What is the real price on the Colonel Blues? (Not that I'm selling).The ~$1,000 pairs on eBay aren't selling but there aren't any other pairs for sale.
I would have to respectfully disagree re: Espresso's. Although they look great, they feel the lowest quality in hand.
If the leather on the Ferro's are anything like the Hanon's, it would seem as though Diadora are getting a head start on the colab front on 2015
Couldn't agree more. I love how Diadora haven't been afraid to mix exotic materials and different color blocking. Patta used simple color blocking a for their colabs, however, Hanon haven't been afraid of using bright colors. Shows how versatile the N9000 is and I think that's what got me...
