picked these and the Thrashers up 2 weeks ago at my local SB spot. the Piets were only $100. I was told these are a quickstrike release. I liked these as soonas I seen them in person. its just that damn white canvas. I dig the idea so i see why they had to use white canvas on the shoe, but damn!..these are gonna beso hard to keep clean. only wearing these on special occasions, when ever i do get a chance to wear them. summer time only, with shorts. i seen some dudewearing these with jeans the other day. i can only imagine what they looked like when he got home and took them off. the thing thats gonna suck too is thecreasing on the toe box, dust will get in that crease and will make these look bad, i can see in a few months, used pairs going up for cheap cus they aredirty. but other than that. these are a beautiful shoe. the colors and the suede. good quality. loving the black piping on them too. the past releases beentrash as far as quality is concern. that plastic tumble leather they used on the Ferris, Donatello's, Dr. Feelgoods, Appetites, they doing a Jordan onus..lol, ...I had every one of them and sold them with out wearing. thats the reason I got into SB's was the quality used in there shoes. but what can youdo. if anyone looking for these for cheap. try ebay is all i can say. theres people that don't have Buy It Now's and i seen some bids for low. so tryyour luck, 1
