Don’t we all

What's up with these wasted half-releases? This is neither creative nor interesting. Just give us 5's, we're perfectly capable of delacing them.

If yall want og grapes then buy em. Its meant to be a special shoes even with laces it wouldnt be OG. They would added or changes something. Looks fine to me. I'm sure they'll be super limited anyway

Not gonna lie those new pics got me not giving a damn bout no laces

Straight Crying Game status

 

[SC kid]

Why don't yall just cop an older pair and take the laces out
Or take the laces out of your current ones

Wouldnt Laceless grape 5s WITH holes be more accurate to what was depicted on tv

It's not worth the Nike air

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I'll just get these and go on about my day

I don't know how I feel about this laceless NRG but to be fair as "The Fresh Prince" he wore Grape Vs & Fire Red Vs laceless, I think I even remember he even wore some high Doc Martens leather boots without laces. That was kind of his signature flair or style addition, like Kris Kross wearing their jeans backwards. It was the late 80s and early 90s, people, especially the Fresh Prince himself, thought adding a goofy hat or half-buckled overalls to an outfit made it lit.

The Grape Vs show up prominently in promo shots for the show and, they're laceless.

I dont understand the point you're making. All of us know he wore them laceless. He also wore them with laces too as a picture above showed. So it's a bit of one with a bit of the other. A simple nod to Fresh Prince like the insole and the West Philly on the tongue would've been enough while still providing the laces and lace lock in the box.

But yeah as we get closer to release time people are starting to be accepting to the gimmick.

-or-

Should I say willing to buy them with the gimmick.

The option to wear 5s laceless has always been there
For almost 20 years now lol

I don't ever recall seeing anyone do that the entire time with all the retros
I would imagine a FEW people did but not alot.

So why all of a sudden is this a look people want

 

[heatseeker23]

The turn is happening

I don't know about any turn. I said I was going to pass on these a month or so ago and nothing has changed, I'm still passing.

It seems like a couple people like Grizzly Bear and J Mobile are in, and it isn't like they changed their minds recently, they've been in.

So IDK who turning?

 

[beedee]

No turning for me either....as my previous post stated, No laces, no thanks.

 

[galove]

Doesn't matter who's turning or not when they release everyone will try to cop regardless if they want to rock stock or sell

I’ve worn my V laces when I was in High school, but you know I was in high school

I better not strikeout with all you haters. That's all I'm saying.

Its the fact that its happening and we dont have mo damn choice if u actually wanted OG Grapes with Nike Air, this is it

Might put holes for laces, might not, but those last pics do look very clean

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I'm pretty sure will get them in 2020 if you don't mind waiting

 

[Aquamanjay_]

We’ll probably get both of the Fire Red 5s before these. I think these will push a regular release back a lot.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

I'll just get these and go on about my day

Pretty much.

Alright, what type of strategies are we using? If we want to be successful we'll have to have a solid plan.
