Asics Love?!? Where is it?

LOL you're kidding right? The 8 ball sample is okay, but doesn't fit into the theme of the 8ball at all. You have to have the 8ball in hand to appreciate the cream suede and hits of red on the sole. I say the 8 ball is top 5 collabs. Embers were dope too, with the lace holes and sole being one color. Could have done away with the speckled sole, but overall a dope colorway. Monkeytime and Atmos should be in the bottom 10 collabs. Monkeytime is just a copycat of the Falseflags, but worse and Atoms is just lazy. Camo and black. So basic....

8ball is top 5 for the collabs that you have or all time? The 8ball sample still looks better to me than the release from pics. Haven't seen the embers in person, but that was never on my radar. You must like red lol (I do too, but there are very few red shoes I would wear). Agree on the MT/Atmos/FFs, not my cup o tea.
 
8 ball top 5 Collabs of all time ?

I'm assuming you got into runners last week.

I disagree with pretty much everything
 
Shout out to @snapreme legit dude, with the quality assist on my medics.

I like to think it's that good business ethics paying off for me, never resold for over retail.
 
well I remember some people commenting that FF and MT are similar and I can see where its coming from.

How have you guys found Asics to hold up on rainy days? Anyone ever tried water repellent spray on the mesh/suede? Looking to get a pair of Asics that can hold up to a bit of rain. The Triple Black Gel Lyte III and the Black Made in Japan denim Gel Lyte III are front runners atm.

Any recommendations? Looking more for the black upper and white sole? Saw those Goretex models but not the biggest on those colours.

Also do the leather upper Asics fit any different to the other materials? I wear a US9 in the Kayanos which fits perfectly.

Yeah 8 Balls are whack. I'm confident that most of us on this thread could create something better than that. Of course all the Boston dudes won't agree

Stood outside for the 8 balls in nyc in below freezing weather, and the concepts dudes were wrapping each pair individually per customer right in front of them.  They were taking like a customer every three to five minutes.  it was a tinyass line but after an hour I straight up walked away.

It's cream/ grey GLV with a red hit on the sole and some 3m details.  They're not bad, they're high quality, they're just very generic.  They spent a lot of time telling the "story" but no time at all translating it creatively to the kick.
 
Concepts 8ball high quality compared to what? Jordan? Nike? lol. Maybe when comparing them to gr asics. It ain't gr nb quality although they both retail around the same depending on the model.

Asics x Bodega "get wet"
 
Trying to catch up on the thread activity from the weekend at work is stressful. Every few post it is a quick look over my shoulder, then repeat. lol

Looks like most copped those MT's which is great. I changed my mind at the last minute and passed on MT, hope I wont be kicking myself later...
