Not vintage at all, it's a NB label for the japan market (not sure about the rest of asia). If you happened to buy from a japanese retail store whether it was salmon soles, tassie devils, chosen few, etc. they(NB) create their own label like what you see on the aqua haze and slap it on the box.
nah B, it has nothing to do with the shoe itself, they push the toes down on purpose. like you said european thing, doesnt always look good imo
I've never understood it either. For one, the toe push makes some shoes look even flatter in the front than the originals. Secondly, you're totally misrepresenting the shoe. Like I understand wanting the toebox area to not banana up as much as they do at times, but what's the point of making it flat for a picture? After that camera snaps and you walk away, your shoes go right back to how they were.
I actually want to try that on some of my air max 1s to make the shape better.I've seen a lot of people trying to iron down the toebox on their runners lately for a similar look....
but doesnt the shape pop back up over time? idk i feel like its too much of a risk
