I really do not like the awake 5’s and 6’s at all. They are tacky and obnoxious designs imho. But the air ship collabs are more subtle and work far better with the original designs. And as an outlet cop, i couldn’t be happier.
in all three pairs i still have (obsidian, doernbecher and psny), i've added slip in midsoles from my old 2011/2012. fits and feels fine.
in the end it is great to see the xv get some love
they've never made a good quality spizike high, though. all of these lows are actually very high quality builds. i've no problem with these being the new ones/dunks and dropping in all the cws indefinitely. i've got four in my rotation.
muted colours tickle me pink. this is the prettiest three in years. glad i was able to grab a pair on discount. qiality is on point too. the sticthed ele print is next level gorgeous.
i'm sorry i never replied. i was referring to these (i know they are mock ups).

personally i love the giant jumpman prints more than the small ones. for that alone, id go black pair.
i let go of my last 29's a few months back. the zooms were beginning to fail.
who is this marketed to?
regular joe aint forking out that much for a retro. very few actually care about the metal box. either these will sit and hit outlets in a hot minute or be so ridiculously limited as to be unobtainium.
