    That's fair. If you don't like AM1, I get it. fwiw those Py_rates images are just renderings so the shape should be different. I'll be all over them.

    It's a better feeling shoe but seems like one designers have a hard time doing something great looking with

    You - They mailed it in. They even used the fucking AF1.
    Me - You mean the 2nd most popular model on the planet?
    You - STRAWMAN

    Neat.

    I don’t like the extra check towards the toe. I like am1 a lot and have quite a few but those are just ok

    I literally critiqued all 3 but you chose to single out the AF1 over and over again and created some kind of argument that I said they mailed it in because they used the AF1 like that was the whole basis of my post. It wasnt. You made a strawman.

    It being an AF1 is a positive. Maybe not for you, but a lot of people like the model. Nothing about using one of their top models was "half assed" or "mailing it in." I get that you don't like the AF1. It seems like you think everyone hates the AF1. That's not the case. It's a hugely popular model. Them using that model shows how much they care about the Be True campaign. They always do a classic (AF1, AM90, TN, Cortez), the new shoe they are pushing (2090, 720, 270, Vapormax, AM0) and then something random. The sandal is the worst one I've seen though.

    You keep trying to make this the argument but that wasnt it at all. Leave my whole post together instead of taking out one sentence to try and form an argument with and maybe it will make sense to you. The models, colors, designs, etc everything together is what makes it seem like its half assed. The sandal is awful. Period nothing else needs to be said about it. The 2090 doesnt look like it even goes with the Be True campaign. Take those words off the side and it looks like a GR. Lastly is a white on white AF1 with the rainbow colors on the heel tab. Theres no creativity and nothing that stands out. Thats why it seems half assed. This is easily the worst Be True collection yet and it has nothing to do solely with the AF1.

    Read the bolded. Using the #2 most popular model on the planet is not a reason to say it was half assed. You don't like the AF1. You don't like the campaign this year. Cool. Don't let your bias get in the way though. "They even fucked up a classic AF1" could be accurate. "They used a fucking AF1" is just your bias showing. You and a few others itt have a hard on for the AF1 and it clouds your judgement just like my dislike of the Yeezy clouds mine when it comes to those. I don't trash it like it's an awful shoe though. A ton of people love it, it's just not for me.

    Got a pair of triple black ER2s for $88 shipped, so I planned to just wear them to work and beat up since I got them so cheap. Got them in hand today, and that will not be happening. These are dope. Gonna have to find another cheap pair for work.

    Where did you see them for $88? I really need to load up on that model. Still mad they canceled it for the Infinity Run.

    off the top of their heads, anybody know which model was the number two selling nike last year?

    cool man that’s like 90% parents buying their kids a basic white or black cheap “cool” shoe so their middle/ high school child isn’t made fun of

    add them to the list of shitty things that are popular

    lil man has a couple pairs. They’re fine. They just look clunky with the leather to me. The AF1 Reacts look better to me though.

    Not at all. They may not be popular with those itt but it's been a popular model for a very long time. White on white AF1 is as classic shoe as it gets.

    I’ve heard 01 runs a little tight so sizing up .5 is a good idea. 2/3 run TTS

    Im going guess this batch is gonna be stupid limited since theyre trying to get this Space Hippie line jumped off. Then the next versions will be closer to GR numbers.

    I had an email from his website that they were "available now" but it was an hour or so old by the time I saw it and looked. Did they actually have pairs for sale or did they just put them up on there as like a coming soon thing?
