    Yeah i googled them but can’t personally remember seeing anyone wear them. I’ve also been working from home for the last 2 years so this may have passed my by. Never seen them at the gym or elsewhere that I can think of but I wouldn’t notice them if I did until recently

    On Clouds are the sneaker equivalent of Hey Dudes to me. They’re what 60 year olds with a sweet combover wear when they’re trying to look fresh to death.

    U.S. adults aged 18-24 are most likely to own (30%) and intend to own (28%) On Cloud shoes, with those aged 25-34 ranking second. And, Americans 55+ are most likely to be unfamiliar with the brand (91%). Ownership among men and women is nearly equivalent.

    And I had no idea the brand was even that old. I swear I never saw them until everyone went back to the office.

    Working in the hospital, feels like about 80% of nurses are wearing On Clouds, Hokas a distant second. I go Hokas, as others have said: they aren’t aesthetically pleasing, but they get the job done.

    Most of the guys/women 30-50 in South Tampa wearing sneakers out have On Clouds on. My buddy told me they were the most comfortable sneakers you can own. I had him put on my ultraboost and he decided that On Clouds were in fact not the most comfortable sneaker but he likes how they look better.

    It’s the best collab of the year so far in my humble opinion. Blended iconic visuals of two very distinct brands in a way that feels incredibly natural. Excited to see if more 3 way collabs become a thing in the next few years

    Yea he can be a cornball in some ways but that man can design some sneakers. I get early access to some Kith stuff, not sure if I will on this one bc normally it's "You bought a previous X so here's EA to these" and idk if I've ever bought anything Adidas on there, but I'll hit you up if I do. Which one and size do you want?

    Was reading up on this stock lawsuit and came across how GOAT is using tech from Nvidia for a machine learning authentication process. Interesting stuff

    who would y’all say are the most reliable when it comes to buying somewhere other than the snkrs app?

    Man it's really tough to say. It really depends on what you're buying. If you're buying a high stock and high demand paid, like AJ1 Chicago or a Travis AJ1 Low Reverse Mocha, I'm not trusting any of them. Reason is those SKU's are the ones the fake companies go in on. They go above and beyond to make them 1:1bc they can move a ton of them. Those are the SKU's you see the super fakes. You don't really see them going to that detail on something like a Mars Yard 2.0. There were so few pairs made and so few people willing to pay the price for them that they can't move tens of thousands of pairs. So I don't think where you buy matters as much as what you buy. All of the sites are about the same imo.

    TBQH I think they are all about the same. If I buy form any of them I I assume they are legit and don’t worry about it any further. I bought a pair of Banned 1s a while ago that were canceled because they didn’t pass the inspection on GOAT so I know just assume they know what they are doing. I think Ebsy sends you something you can scan that says they are legit the only way it matters if you try and sell them. What I mean is if I buy a pair from goat and they are reps but no one can tell it really doesn’t matter unless I try and sell them.

    #Sneakers dblplay1212 or anyone who is a lot more knowledgeable than me are these acceptable are the elephant prints supposed to match exactly? Obviously two different patterns.

    the elephant print patterns are different on each shoe. Neither of 3s I own have elephant print so idk if they are supposed to be the same on each shoe.
