I swear, if anybody remembers I said Balenciaga was going to W H O R E out the Arena and it's coming to fruition. Granted, they're putting out regular colors currently but they are SATURATING the hell out of the market right now. Before restocks were every 6 months or longer now they cranking the hell out of these. And people wonder why the quality is suffering. Do not be surprised when they start making kid sizes in Arenas and you see a baby in the hood near you rocking them.
That's why I love Hermes, they aren't going to devalue their products for a quick increase in quarterly profit margins, they're all about quality and brand superiority; established in 1837 and still at the top, in the high end world.

Visvim's my go-to quality brand. Plus by preference I like the homely look better.I swear, if anybody remembers I said Balenciaga was going to W H O R E out the Arena and it's coming to fruition.

I have a sizing question. Today I tried the all white pair pictured at the top on in a SZ 44 which fit me perfect with very little space in the toe box to reduce creasing, just how I like... My question is for those with experience with both of these shoes and how they run. Should I order the blk/red pair in a SZ 44 or should I order a 43.5? I have been reading through the previous comments and some people have stated that the blk/red sneakers run a half size large.. Any info or input would be appreciated. I have to call my SA in the A.M. with my size and card info.

Yea the SA was no help at all with it after I drove 1hr just to try the shoes on and make sure I got the right size. I think I will order the blk/red in a 43.5 and hope they are not too tight. Thanks!

^^^^ As stated above 100% authentic. They had this colorway along with every color from the rainbow of this material MMM High Sneaker on Yoox for like $230+ a year to two years ago. 
Yet, MMM think they're slick trying to keep the price at $900+ hoping people will fall for it and pay retail.

I see Arenas worn the most out of any other high end shoe though. Rarely do I see Lanvin, CL, Givenchy or SLP. Still a lot of Pradas but that shoe has been bootlegged to death so I doubt they are real.

So dudes are getting cranky that a pair of shoes that was once difficult to get, is now more readily available?
Let me guess, the "exclusive" factor is now gone and every John on the block will have one.
If you like the shoe, you like the shoe, regardless if everyone else has it.
I hate this "I been on this" mentality.

I don't care if the red ones are widely available. I love the color and insta rocking when I receive.

Yea there was a time period here in NYC where the american cup pradas were like jordans. Not really to that point but when I was in HS around sophomore year/2009 so many people had them and they were very recognizable. People knew what time it was when they saw the american cups
Still see them around a bit but not as much.

I'm still relatively new to the luxury sneaker market, so a little awhile ago I went back to the first 100 pages or so of this thread just to scroll and see what was in style back then. Saw the Prada's and I was like "what the actual **** are these." Makes me wonder if Arena's will become as commonplace.Yea there was a time period here in NYC where the american cup pradas were like jordans.

Seems like they already are, in LA at least. And for some reason, they're always super beat up.
