Official Saucony Originals / Retro Thread

[snapreme]

Friend of mine copped the big apple adidas collab with bait and the entire insole was crumpled up at the front. Bait offered a 10% discount rather than a full exchange, but he was persistant and ended up getting a new insole (not sure where they pulled it from though). I don't know if it's a bait thing specifically but seems like all their collabs have some issues.

Same thing on mine.

It's an adidas issue unless the insoles were produced separately & bait put them in... which I don't think was the case.

For my bait x adidas - I had an actually ****** up shoe. It had like marks where there weren't supposed to be, paint overspray, bad cut. Whoever put that shoe together ******* hated their life.

I reached out to bait and they offered me 10% to keep it, but they had hassle free exchange.

If you're not happy with your pair - reach out to them for an exchange and ask them if they can make sure the one coming to you doesn't have defects.

My pair should be here in a few hours. I ordered mine last Monday and I only live 10 hours from LA. They shipped on Friday.

My first pick up from the Bait cruel World Series. The suede is butter soft and definitely a nice touch having added leather insole and sock liner on these. Checked both pairs and the quality seems to have improved over the past few releases. I gave both shoes a good search and no glue except the normal glue around the sole from when it was applied. Overall I'm extremely satisfied.

I got the Rise "keys open doors" last year which had glue stains every where and was impossible to get out. I also go the Ubiq "pacific dusk" which had a glue stains in the toe box of one shoe and a glue drip on the heal. I was able to get those out but there is a little discoloration. I haven't seen any significant flaws on my last 2 pairs of Saucony's.

I hope this begins to be the trend for all upcoming Saucony Drops. I'm a big fan of there kicks.

Nice! hows the fit since they have the leather liner and all?

All of my other Shadow 6k's are a size 8 and fit me a little big (room to spare) and I have a wide foot. I went with a 7.5 in this pair because I like a snug fit. They fit perfectly, I'm guessing not much different than any other pair would fit.

I'm probably going to buy all the rest of my Shadow 6k's in a 7.5. Now I need to size swap my Premier LOM's and Bodega Grey Sweaters.

 

[zaidxbirdman]

The bait 6ks are looking good can't wait to get my joints in and today

Quality on left shoe, immaculate. Right shoe a little glue and the perforations are less defined in the light blue parts. Overall I'm completely satisfied. I'm putting them on my feet not in a display case anyway.

 

[commander0zero]

I know this is frowned upon sometime but love the ropes 504wh0dat in those baits! Did they come with the shoes?

 

[captbuyandsell]

Saucony Saturday!

name of these my friend?

 

[504wh0dat]

Nah, they're from rope lace supply. "Nautical" Navy/white. I'm sure some rope lace hate is coming my way but I love ropes in sauconys, especially the 6000.

 

[R1ceRocket]

Didn't come with shoes - only came with light blue and dark blue flats. I wish they came with some ropes too.
