My pair came in from sneaker dunk. I'm a size 11 and also only paid fees up front. I have been ordering from snkrdnk since before they added the tariffs have never had an issue. Occasionally a seller on there might not ship. They don't fulfill with replacement at same cost, they just refunded my money. I like them ALOT and leather is incredibly nice,but don't know if I would ever be able to wear them enough. My pair came out to like 324ish? With taxes customs fees and shipping. |l

NGL. The reviews I’ve seen comparing these to fire reds is lazy imo. I get the color blocking to an extent but man these definitely have distinct differences that make these not fire reds at all.

I completely agree. It's really a different shoe altogether, and it has all the upgrades over the FR4 (better shape, comfort and quality). These clown FR4s imho.
 
regarding the convo on previous page, I totally agree that the 1s are a great all-arounder. the premature scuffs are a little odd, but I wear these so frequently that I've added some of my own and they all run together. but these are often the only pair I'll take on a weekend getaway including vegas a few weeks ago. great under-stated utility shoe and the only bike air pair that's good for actual yknow biking

the bbbs are so comfy, it's like wearing a pair of couches. only issue is I have just a couple fits that I like these with. it's a skill issue and I own it but the result is I don't wear them often. however they feel more light and airy, relative to the babs, and it's always a pleasure-center hit when I pull them on

babs are also a good pair, but feel more big, stiff, and unforgiving [looks down at lap "you too, pal"]. they feel fine on-feet but I wouldn't yet wear them out for an extended time. the internals have that jordan rigidity that can get crampy and annoying. they also feel noticeably heavier and bulkier, more like an actual brick than those sun-burned blushing brick-lookin mfers.

thank you for reading my novella. the end

Love to see kicks get to this stage of wear. This means you've been enjoying them and getting those wears in. You're definitely beating them in nicely...

I spy and see the dark mochas getting that beat treatment as well... :lol:
 
Hopefully these are as cozy as y’all say for Team Widefoot. I hadn’t bought a tts IV since the first Union pairs, been goin .5 up for safety since :emoji_sweat_smile:.

I doubled up on the Brick by Brick because of the comfort + the color way lol. Only did 1 pair of the BABs though.

J1 definitely have that availability to look good beat up or crispy. There are a few other Js imo that can pull that off too.
It's a good reminder of the 80s and 90s when folks weren't so obsessed with their kicks looking immaculate because of potential resale value. People just wore kicks and if they got beat up, so be it. It also ties into the idea behind Nigels kicks; the idea is biking in them. Much like skate shoes, they are designed to be used and abused. I think the whole Bike Air/Nigel Sylvester campaign has been brilliant.
 
Has anyone gotten their shipment from UniUni? I imagine it's going to be like Lasership when I saw some dude with a 30 year old car pull my package out his trunk.
