** The Diadora Thread ** - Concepts "Rat Pack" N9000

Transit > Saturdays for me.
this. the transits are probably one of the more underrated n9k's along with the Milans. fantastic shape even better than the SS based on the fact the overall color palette and blocking are better imo.

which reminds me if anyone has any leads to a US9.5 I'd greatly appreciate it

saturday specials still be the g.o.a.t. 
Wrong.  Wrong.  So incredibly wrong.  Now, I know I'm likely going to get flamed for this, but I really don't see what it is about the SS that has everyone so drunk on the kool-aid.  Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad shoe by any means, but I can't see why it's so revered.  Someone in the know, please school me.  Dope materials, quality craftsmanship, and respect for Hanon as a collaborator aside, what makes the SS so appealing?  Nostalgia?  It certainly can't be the aesthetic because, IMO that burgundy/oxblood is terribly out of place.  Clash-tastic even.  Transit is so much smoother and coherent, all things considered.  For my taste, the Espresso Ristretto is still the best N9000 for appearance sake.

With all due respect.. You're straight buggin. Saturdays and Transits are both incredible. Hands down the two best N9000 collabs to date imo.
 
There is no debate imo. Saturday specials are the best. It's between the transit IIs and italias for second spot.
 
really tough to decide 100% i keep changing my mind of what is the best N9000 collab..i remember when I saw the first pattas when they released..i liked them very much(and they were not hyped at all as far as i remember..)..then saturday specials revealed and i was sure i liked the model a lot in general..anyway, having all releases in hand apart from the GRs..i ll jsut say my top 3..for these days lol.. :tongue:

patta1, patta3(italia), saturday specials

but if you aske me, i like very much every single release very much..
 
SS1s...i want those. 

then ferros and sombras. 

debating getting rid of my sols and azzuris. I'm in a love hate relationship with the n9000....
 
italias/transit 2's are my respective joint uno honorable mention to the ferro's
