Olive camo for french tans/japan blacks a fair trade?  Prices seem relatively similar on GOAT

For the japan blacks, yeah. I wouldn't for the vapour greys though.

I wouldn't consider it a fair trade. Camo's should be a little higher in value IMO.

BAPE is DEAD

everytime i see a Drop it's like some Cloths for Kids with some Cartoon Callabo!

 

[askim35]

Yea the only bape stuff that caught my interest recently was the Dragon Ball collection for nostalgia. They did a collab with Felix the dam Cat and next is Jaws..

yea, that's what goat pricing would suggest.

Interesting, why?  Just based on style preference or some other factor like production #'s?

These are darker in person. They are the same exact color as Swiss Miss hot chocolate powder IMO.

Straight up my favorite pair - especially after getting them in hand.

= in comfort

primeknit nmd's or yeezy 350 for comfort? 

I like both a lot, but slight edge to 350 IMO

 

[picasso swerve]

I gave up on NMD's. Absolutely no appeal to me at all anymore, I have 2 pairs that I dont even know the last time I wore em. Just not a comfy shoe.

red chukka if anyone is interested for retail

I'm pretty sure that those "bape" nmds will be overhyped, whatever people say for now

Sizing advice guys? I know the general advice on PK is 1/2 size down but I went TTS sz 12 (purchased from GOAT) since I had to return some Monochromes sz 11.5 as my toes were poking out in the front and PK material was bulging. These feel a bit loose though. Left foot fits slightly more snug. Might because my left foot is minimally longer. I think I should go with 11.5 and just sell the 12 back on GOAT. 

It looks like my sz 12 Japan Grey and Black (haven't come in from Adidas yet) will be 1/2 too large too now. PM if you have 11.5 in Black Japan. I have a sz 11 in Black Japan from ssense too. 

So any sizing advice people? Should I stick with TTS or go 1/2 size down? I think 1/2 size down will be slightly too snug though even if there is minimal toe space still left.

 

[Liquid Swords]

I'd stick with TTS

 

[summeroflove]

 
I'd stick with TTS

Even with that toespace? They feel slightly large width wise too and I can comfortably fit a finger in the heel. A bit more than I would have wanted.

what type of socks do you wear with them?

I wear Costco Adidas ankle socks. The ones that come in a 6 pack. They are relatively thick. When I have that toe space in the pictures above, it is with these relatively thick socks. Barefeet, these would be way too large.

You might not win with this shoe. Any kind of knit shoe can be tricky. I find Adidas soles in general tend to be narrower than Nike. If you don't want to worry about slipping, go 1/2 size down. If you can walk without your foot slipping and noticing the dead space, stay TTS. Unfortunately, knits just show the bone structure of the foot more than leather or a more rigid material would.

Alternatively, you can try to cut up a small piece of foam/memory foam to size and shape and try to stuff it into the toe box and see how that feels.

Well, I wear sz 12 in my Ultra boosts and while they are snug, they are overall quote comfortable. The snugness is reduced but still there if I wear them without socks. 

It looks like my best bet is to go 1/2 size down and either go sockless or hope they stretch out and conform to my feet. I could try wearing thinner socks too I suppose.

That green pair...

So is the black box the norm now for all releases? My white circle mesh pair I got from FNL came in a black one.

Anyway, I'm happy to finally have gotten a pair that actually fits... TTS was too snug for me. I got these just in time for summer, lol.

when my coworkers got the vapor greys, they came in all blue boxes, the 3 white stripes were blue also 

 

[tankdayglo]

 

Weird mine from ADC came in the typical AO blue box w/ white stripes.
