Not feeling that pattern, but it's cool to see. Is that a release pair or sample that NW got?

 

[jamesandstl]

That is interesting. I don't know. I'm digging Brandblack, and I'm digging this silhouette, but the patterns haven't completely sold me yet.

 

[thapointguy]

Doesn't look like it's a sample or made just for him. Maybe it'll be a Bay Area exclusive lol

I'm not feeling the pattern either.

I like the pattern on these but I just can't get past the fact that these are lows. Really wish for a mid like the 2's & 3's. I can't wear lows to play in. Too afraid of messing up my ankle.

 

[crazy ebw]

You gotta get past that low and ankle mentality. The best performing shoes i've ever had have all been low top. The only exception was the Jordan 28.

I completely understand,I too prefer mids. JC2 mids were out of this world good while the lows were just ok IMO. I have yet to find a low better than a mid IMO

 

[crazy ebw]

Most shoes that perform amazing as a mid have not transitioned well into a low top from my experiences. Dunno why, but it's the truth. The shoe has to be a true low top in the design process with the intent to be that height.

Actually being involved in the wear testing of a companies shoes, giving what will obviously then be glowing reviews due to your involvement and then selling a collab,  seems a little OD in the ethics department imo.

Thats like working for Rolling Stone magazine and giving a cd you rapped on a stellar review.

If you then started praising your cd as having " more bang for your buck" , I may just doubt it as it benefits you to say this.

Doesnt matter how many good cds you may have recommended in the past. 

This especially holds true if you start taking too many glamor shots of your cd, beside your brand new pool.

I totally understand what you are saying. In the video he said he didn't want to give an actual "performance review" on it because he might seem biased, maybe that's a way to brush it off. I then looked on YouTube to see other reviews/looks of the shoe and it seemed like it was only weartesters people to get them. I think I only saw like one that was WT affiliated. Maybe I missed them all. Seemed odd. That being said, I do like Brandblack and find their stuff interesting. I like Nightwings reviews, seems like he tries to be as "unbiased" as he can....a lot better than other shoetubers. Maybe I'm just nieve...I don't know.

NW is definitely going to be a little bias towards brands that support him at a higher level, but his critique has stayed pretty true to the product over time with all of the opportunities he has had with the different brands. Appreciate that for sure.

Has anyone been playing in any of the jc's outdoors? Just wondering how they hold up

Im not accusing him of being disingenuous. 

Im just saying that the potential is really there and grows with each new employee and shoe

gave in and bought a pair of shoes before midnight 

can't wait for jacket and shoes to come in 

 

[jamesandstl]

^^^ I did too lol. I got the grey Ethers. At 72 bucks it's hard to beat that. Looks like I have 2 pairs coming in.

 

[crazy ebw]

Hoping this order ships today

 

[jamesandstl]

I got the white Force Vector leathers and the grey Ethers. I ordered the Vectors on like Thursday or Friday and I talked myself in to the Ethers last night lol

Bb does need to communicate a lil better tho.. last time I ordered I didn't get any order or shipping confirmation until like a day before the stuff got to my house lol

Yep. This has happened almost every order for me. You get shipping confirmation 1-2 days before they come in haha...

 

[crazy ebw]

I guess it's a little surprise and delight that way :\

Where do they ship from?

 

[iks mod]

I remember seeing skechers distribution warehouse on my shipments. I think they come out of a city east of LA, can't remember for sure
