yea really annoying since they double boxed the sole.
shoes turned out nice, i love the quality on em, but my box is beat the hell out of... 24k couldn't afford to pay for double boxed shipping
i guess they ran out of boxes....

and another question about the old experienced sneakerheads(i have been dealing with sneaker collection since 2007 but i live in greece and had limited exposure to trainers..so i was buying mainly basketball shoes..)..all the little knowledge i have for trainers come from NT..do you think diadora can become to what asics is today? i mean, before all this collaboration madness, was asics so popular in USA? do think diadora could reach asics hype and hit similar success? i see that diadora has very small audience compared to other brands(which is something i personally like)

Probably not. Certainly not with just one model atm. Asics was always more popular in Europe than the USA, but collaborations, particularly with Ronnie Fieg, led to asics becoming increasingly popular but Jordan will always prevent asics from being the top in the USA, Europe doesn't have the same craze for Jordan's imo

sombra because they are more settle, but its very opinionated tbh, if you like more vibrate colors then sols. all in all both are really successful collabs

regarding Greece, people know only onitsuka..diadora was never respected as a brand(i remember when i was at school diadoras were for the people that could not afford jordans, nike air etc)..the national sneaker for greeks is the air max 97(and everyone here knows it as air max millenium..if you ask for air max 97 they will not understand about the model you are talking about).
when i was studying in UK if i remember correctly..nike, reebok and adidas trainers were very popular

Reebok not so much, but adidas originals are extremely popular because of the football culture!

Yup. It's usually the unofficial "packs" that both look nice compared to the packs companies pump out to get rid of one crappy shoe.

What does "crepe" mean when used for shoes? Just like kicks? I'm asking you because I see it a lot on UK instagram pages.

I feel you on that, if I had lost out at Packers on Saturday I had already made my mind up I was going to spend the $350 to get the Sols.

My sombras should be in today from 24kilates. I'm worried about how the box is going to look now

teah, it's just another generic term for a pair of trainers, although I've never got my head round it for some reason... I think it seems a bit daft myself

How much is a box gonna cost them really if they buy in bulk, I think it's a cost that they should factor in, especially when we are talking about customer retention and satisfaction. I know they're a a small operation but sending them out in plastic bags is not smart. Saying that, Size? store also sends them out in plastic bags too lately I noticed. Got to cut corners to make that dollar I guess.My sombras should be in today from 24kilates. I'm worried about how the box is going to look now

Just a tip for anyone ordering 24 Kilate's future releases. If you checkout and finish your paypal payment, but don't receive a confirmation email (probably due to crappy server). You will have to checkout again. Unfortunately they sold out of my size before I could do that.
It took over 2 weeks just to get a response for a refund. I should have just filed a paypal dispute on the spot to get their attention faster.
I'm not too bummed about missing out on the Sombra. Having a pair of Sol and Italia will hold me over. Also managed to snag a pair of ASICS SurrEDaliste, so I got that going for me haha.

Sombra > sol... Sombras are seriously nice, and I got a pair with no dents! Unique colourway too, especially in my collection!
