Essential BRAD PIFF'S SNEAKER THREAD

[diggy]

I had to skip on these for now. Got space jams still sitting and that made me sell all my other 11s that came after because I realized they ain't gonna get worn. I didn't buy the Concords and I know I'm not wearing these for at least 5 years based on my current lifestyle. I really wanted to want these.
At this point I'd rather have the 220 plus tax to spend on something else that's needed.. I'm adulting :sigh: I
did see some people wearing these today with full fits, so I'll live vicariously through them for a while. From reading the comments here, seems the release was horrible. The snkrs app looked like it was full of stock for a while, but I guess the pending transactions proved otherwise.

Copped off Snkrs on Saturday but I need like two more pairs

The prices are stupid on GOAT and $300 is too much to pay on StockX so I'll wait for a restock and it will go down

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Been eyeing the 500 Slate but I'm not sure if I want them or the 350s that dropping on the 20th

 

[The War Report]

Got my pair delivered today.

Pear arrived today and my initial impressions in contrast of the 2019's to the 2012's.

2019 criticisms:

1. Patent leather is flimsier and of lower grade material (tried on and creased just from that... whereas the 2012's have been donned several dozen times with minimal damage.

2. The lateral heel-cup sewed jumpman has less threading and pales in comparison to 2012 (texture is flatter whereas last retro has a protruding, 3D-like bump.

3. Red sole is fukkin' dull as hell... almost like a muted varsity red. WTF.



What i do like aboot them 2012's.


1. High patent cut and overall taller profile... and white grids are a dope touch.

2. Definement of the upper's nylon area... it's indented, the lines and cuts/trims are precise and acute. Very refined in detail.

3. Leather is more plush... think Audi seats.



Bad outweigh the good for this shoe.



The marketing scheme of the "remastered" program must be just for the aesthetics, cuz it def ain' for the quality.


Prefer the 2012 Black cement 4's to this years.


Also prefer the 2014 Infrared 6's to this years.


If you wear your shoes as often as I do, and wear the aforementioned as often as i do, you'll know EXACTLY what i'm referring to.



The 2019 releases, while cut and profile are there, close to og in that format... the substandard materials is truly the killjoy/puts it in second place to its retro predecessor.



I feel like the previous renditions were great for wearing frequently/tank-like in build quality and materials.



These "remastered" retros are shrine status. I don't want to wear them. They are that ho-hum overall. Sucks cuz they look great. But that's where the buckshot stops.



This is an honest and personal take on it.



As much as I love the black cement 4's, they did a much better job on the white cement 4's from 2016. That was a high tier retro done remarkably right.

And the green gatorade 6's and social status 6's from this year also trump the infrareds from all star break.



My conclusion is that they know the og's releases will always sell like hot cakes, so less emphasis placed on quality with the remaster attachment is just a gimmick.
