Victor Cruz Signature Shoe

My trio complete. But man the quality control on my left shoe of the haystack is horrendous. Non fixable flaws all over. Oh well. Beaters they go

What are the unfixable flaws on the wheats?

You obviously know nothing about Balenciagas. Just stick to talking about the plastic leather Nikes you're used to instead of pretending to know about a high-end brand based off one picture you found on the internet. That's obviously too hard for you to comprehend.
Wow, I don't think he was trying to say that.. The basket weaving just reminded him of that. I don't think you should go all out and say that. Wth man. It was just one detail. And Cruz probably uses inspiration from high end brands with his fashion so it's only right he put some of those aspects on his shoes. Like the studs for example. Don't attack someone for a misunderstanding. He didn't say anything about it looking just like a Balenciaga. They remind him. A lot of things can remind someone of something else. There's influences from every where.
 
That woven Balenciaga Arena pictured above was a 1 of 1 pair made for Lebron. So comparing a 1 of 1 custom made shoe for a celebrity to a pair of Nikes simply because it used a similar weave is farfetched. The woven pairs were never even made available to the public. That's all I was saying. I've been wearing Balenciagas for years and own multiple pairs so when somebody who knows little to nothing about their sneakers speaks like they know what they're talking about it sounds ignorant

Okay I see what you mean. Makes sense. Still though, harsh attack on someone lol. Could've just said this in the first place and you would've sounded smart at it rather than mad. Now that's ignorant. Lol were a part of a community here and willing to learn. Drop some knowledge instead of talking down on someone.

But yeah, the weaving reminds me of the kd8 ext and other Nike shoes lately that have the same weave pattern. Must be a think Nike is doing. The material looks like it would feel like how it is on the kd8 as well. That's what it makes me think of.

Dudes going at it this early in the am over shoes? We talking about shoes. Someone cue the Iverson pic.
 
Fall back old head. I'm not concerned about what a minimum wage loser gotta say to me. Keep reading them Dr. Seuss mother goose books talking about comprehension
Bruh you gotta chill wit the insults more than half this board are old heads. Just drop it.

Haha. Question I dont have an iphone so do you all think these will still release on ndc on the 10th?

I doubt it, looks like NDC is the 7th and the other sites will be the 10th.





The black and gum bottom colorway is cool, just don't like that custom job. If Nike released it with suede or proper leather, it would be real nice.

Not that serious. Just his opinion. Are you a shareholder? Maybe a relative of Alexander Wang?

Balenciaga don't care about you so no need to cape so hard.

Rumble Gang Rumble Gang is a good dude. No need to go at him for a statement I've seen (and made) countless times on NT.
 
Because this is the "giants" colorway, it "should" be an easier pick-up due to Cruz not playing this year, Giants having a lousy season, and a chance Cruz may not be a Giant come fall. Only thing that could hurt Cruz's marketability even more is if he was involved in some off-field drama.

I disagree. Giants are trash but Giants fans will still be buying. These are the best color to me because I am a Giants fan.

Is it safe to say that this is the last of the Air Cruz?

I wouldn't say that. No one knows. Personally, I think they do one or two more but that's just a guess.

i really hope not. but it is the last ones scheduled to come out. I would say the other 2 colorways might have a release at some point.. maybe the reds cause they made a batch of them and it would be a waste to never sell the stock they had sent back to them. but who knows.

also, these rush blues might be a lot of them but football fans are not like basketball fans. it doesn't matter if the team is doing good or bad, football fans are die hard. and giants fans - theres plenty of them out there. so this release there's going to be more of them trying to get it just for the giants blue colorway.

got an offer for $110 on the wolf grey colorway without a box top - should i jump on that deal? the greys are really growing on me. how is the quality on the greys? since they aren't a prm or a qs i wonder if it is just a gr quality. subpar. i want them if they're nice. the tumbled leather on the toe looks good though. not sure if it is nice in person though. is it comparable to the oreo 4 tumbled leather?
 
@retrohead182 ah i see. the toe stitching is off. that happened to one of my haystacks and black/crimsons too. where it is squeezed together too tight. nike is just spotty. the other flaws isnt too bad though. you'll get those marks after wearing them for a bit anyways.

Quality wasn't too bad for what it was. My only gripe was that I wished the swoosh on the side of the shoe was stitched with red thread, rather than gray. The tumbled leather is NOT comparable to the Oreo 4 leather...That leather is really good.

I decided to return them because I knew I wouldn't wear them at all.

I hope it isn't. I do hope that the Silver Wings eventually release. It would be nice to grab that pair. My prediction is that the All-Reds will eventually release.
 
Hmmm, not sure if I am interested in the Blue's, might have to see in person. I need to find a time to wear my Haystack's this weekend

at this point I'm just trying to complete the set, only pair I would be missing is the reds which didn't offically release. What happened to AJ3 cement colorwy? Did that get scrapped?
