If you like this style, I would consider Adidas Ultra Boost. Extremely Comfortable!  The equation is what would I wear them with? I think I've started collecting clothes and shoes, and that seems bad. Got some orange NB (made in England) and blue diesel Adidas (limited run) but hardly wear them because I tend to wear sport coats with boots or dress shoes and if I go casual then I tend to do Chucks or PF. Maybe I need to think of these as summer shoes and not wear the boots June-September. Based on what I have seen on this forum, the CP or Gustin Low will be better match. |

Yeah, I should sell the NB and Adidas and not get the Nike to save up for CP. Is CP better than Gustin? Both are made in Italy. They look very similar when I look at the construction photos. Just wondering how much of that CP price is quality and how much is prestige.
What do you sneaker heads do to avoid die transfer? Only wear them with jeans that have stopped bleeding or not wear them with jeans?

I intentionally crock all over my white shoes. I hate getting new shoes and love it when they start looking like they didn't just come out of the box.

Three days later, I give up on buying the one above. My size is sold out pretty much in less than a minute on all websites and I am not going to pay $400-$500 on ebay for one. It supposes to be the most comfortable shose out there... and the hype is crazy. Boo... so sad.... notreshop is dropping them at 9pm cst tonight.  Sold out in 3 seconds... |

CP leather is "buttery soft" but the price is definitely not justifying them. If you really don't care about branding, Gustin is probably a more sensible choice. Regarding the indigo bleeding, nothing you can really do except you don't let your jeans touch the sneakers. Some people uses the "bleach pen" to touch up the white sneakers but I personally think it is too much work. Wabasabi. |

Beat the Gustins down all summer, as I like wearing shorts and summerweight chinos with a smaller inseam. Just want them to hurry up and fund already. |

MiddleAge check on the sneaker thread on SF, lots of guys there are into the jogger/runners look. Maybe someone on their would sell it to you at retail or just a little above. I tried to get them as well but 1st world problems with bots buying it or insider hookups. I regularly check all the outlets in N.Cali (Nike/Adidas/NB/Reebok) if your looking for anything, I'll keep an eye out. But the bay area is a sneaker hypebeast mecca lol.

The ongoing resell is $500-$550 my size and I will wait for the next colorway. Too much $$$. |

A cool video on how the Adidas Ultra-Boost being made. Btw, the factory is in China and it is probably cleaner than many of the offices here.

These Greats are def worth the $50 although I bought mine off Grailed for half that. They come with a Vibram sole or at least these Rosens do. I like a few others including the Pronto's , G-KNITS & the Carnarsee sandals a lot. On Feb 11th the Natural selection Prontos drop which look awesome http://instagram.com/p/BBlM_cNtcqD  |

I want joggers but my wife thinks I am too old for that. My highschooler son does rock his five pairs of joggers to school. Hate getting older.... not fun.

The best Chucks ever made, specially for me. They'll be in the mail to my p.o. box this week, FINALLY after a hellatious wait time...   These are some in progress pics... After some failed attempts at gluing the uppers to the soles (Seen in the first pic), we decided the move along with stitching them on. Apparently, whatever glue is typically used for shoes, doesn't stick to Horween Chromexel very well |
