No sense copping early for me... going to arrive here way past RD anyways. :lol: I just want a pair for (or close to) retail. With how wack the releases over here are, you wouldn't see them around much, anyways. :rolleyes

They subscribers ****** and one of them probably team early and they just sent the shoes one hand to another for video views
 
Honestly i just want to know how these compare to the 94s and the 85s. I know the red is darker but how does it stack up in terms of leather cuts. the white insole and white tongue padding along with the numbers on the inner ankle padding add a nice nostalgic touch. But how does it compare height wise, or what about the square on the back, the stitching etc. I can't wait for someone to do an IN DEPTH comparison.

Also couple questions:

Does ironing out tumbled leather smooth it out? Ive heard someone on NT say that. 

How many people you think will customize their pairs changing the red to a lighter shade with the help of angelus?
 
Honestly, why is the thread OBSESSED with Fineline. Like he and his $500 price point has been discussed everyday. Can you really knock a man if people are buying at that price? Sellers don't determine the market, buyers do.

I understand that. But for example, if I own a car lot, and I have 50 used 1987 Chevy Blazers and I list them at $60,000 and Kelly Blue book has them appraised at $1,200, but I'm selling though my inventory for MY price. Why would I lower it, because of what the "market" deems it worth?

He didn't compare ALL OF THEM.............he left out the 2011 Banned 1s (the first BANNED named retro 1) in the review comparison.

He probably didn't find another person with that pair to do it, but it would've helped out big.

Did they play with the lighting on these pics or is the red REALLY that vibrant?

so you are tempted to pay 500 bucks when so far the launch locators are looking good?

I'm from the Philippines, our country is full of hypebeasts and resellers.

So the release locators, does not matter to me.

Every hyped release  90% are resellers and only 10% are people who really want to rock the pair. 

Almost all stores here have rigged raffles and are all backdoored by resellers and sometimes hoard pairs. 

I'm tempted to pull the trigger but I'm not that crazy to pay that resell price. I still want to get it at retail.
