I think the guy who runs this spot is in the Adidas & NMD Facebook group. If you can figure out who it is, you might be able to get a better deal..

Damn $35 for shipping? Pretty much ruins it.

Sucks tax turns that 15% to an ~9% discount lol.

Still a good price. Wish I could've gotten all my uncaged below $180.

Yeah... I mean $168 is better than $195

That's why I try to buy running specialty store or boutique. Most of the time they don't have a store in CA so no tax can be charged.

I usually cop on ADC then return if I can get the same pair for closer to $180 or lower than ADC at a boutique.

About to head downtown to a bar right near FlightClub. Gonna take a quick peek through and leave in tears

View media item 2130356From r/sneakers. Says it arrived like that directly from Adidas.

Not really commenting on the QC (or lack thereof), but on top of the fact that I can't hang with the shiny heel cup, this (flaking/peeling) is also what crosses my mind whenever I see these.

^^ Stuff like that doesn't bother me, they're going to get dirty anyways.

 Got the Navy 2.0s on preorder coming in September from RRS, now I'm contemplating on cancelling and waiting for the Navy 3.0s...

I did. Rather wait and see what 2017 has in store for us

This. This is what I was afraid of on those Olympic pack. Sucks to be that guy without even wearing them.

 

[tankdayglo]

The metallic heelcups make all the olympic pairs an easy pass for me regardless

Even though you just spend $190+ on them and haven't put them on yet? That would bother me.

that is the whole gimmick of the Olympic pack and for it to be flaked off is pretty wack.

That's like having a pair of Jordans and some of the 'n' is chipped off.

Yeah I'd be bummed, not to mention they're LTDs and will most likely retail for $200, so it's gonna be more like $220 after tax out here in Cali.

This. The fact that scuffs naturally and easily occur on the heelcups makes me a lot less interested after seeing that photo.

Olympic pack are just dad shoes with bling

Like a dad had a midlife crisis with his shoe collection

Is like any non-bright colored shoe a 'dad' shoe to you?

I think you just like Kid shoes. But whatever makes you feel young, more power to you.

 

[casper90403]

Chips and scratches don't bug me, as long as I'm the one that caused it.

Otherwise, come to me looking reasonable and i won't complain. That chip is not reasonable.

but most Dads shy away from the "bling."

Or maybe thats just me.

that's a dull flat primer like all stuff are before they get a metallic finish to it. 

I called the flaking tho, knew if Nike couldn't get it done with the mirror foams, adidas would encounter the same problem. Good thing bronze aren't metallic

So will I be looked down on by dads everywhere if I wear them being that I'm not a dad?

No but you will automatically become a dad when you buy a pair.

Thanks. I was considering grabbing the gold pair and stripping the gold off, hoping it was just black underneath. Easy pass now.

If the gold does completely strip off, repainting them black would actually be a good idea, especially with the leather cage. Wannabe J&Ds.

lol then why don't you just grab the core black gradients?

because I like the leather cage.
