Dropping Saturday morning at J.Crew

Anybody know of a shoe with a similar color way/aesthetic that is maybe half the price?

Phew easy cop, will make not even trying for the Yeezys on the 29th next month easier to deal with

who am I kidding... I know I'll still try haha

Wow, the 93/17s are sitting. Available in every size on ADC. I don't need another pair of new sneakers, but seeing them available every time I go to ADC will hurt...
 
I think the next shoe on my radar is the gum city socks near the end of April. My wallet is breathing a sigh of relief.

Unless adidas drops a surprise NMD between now and then lol

Honestly not a fan of the white EQT 93/17. Too much going on especially with the inside black stripe clashing with the white primeknit.

Not 100% sure they're sitting. Seems lots of people are having issues adding to cart :\

I'm in the same boat. I really dug the black EQT but completely missed the boat on those. Really wanted to like these and I kept looking at them over the past few days, but just wasn't feelin' it. Ah wells.

I'm waiting for Adidas to put up those khaki NMDs. No release date :(
 
Those are nice but damn, $180!

I agree they're expensive, but the primeknit is insane.
Really does make a difference. After wearing my PK NMD's nonstop for a few months, today I went to my mesh NMD's since it was raining, and the feeling on foot is honestly really noticeable - where the PK really feels like a sock and moulds to your foot, the mesh material feels looser and you float around a bit more. Its hard to explain but if you walk a lot, its nice. That being said, it gets damn $$$...I still recommend trying to have/try at least 1 primeknit pair.

I am sure but $130-$140 like BumRush said would have made it an impulse buy.

I also have to save up for miadidas + multicolour UB. (If we ever get that...)

Its the boost in these. Honestly the most comfy sneaker Adidas puts out and I have every kind except for Yeezy V2

I hear ya on the price and look though, not for everyone. I just cant pass over sneakers that feel like that on my feet.

93/17's already gone. Thought they might sit a little longer with all the other releases about to come out.

That extra boost is why they don't sit. I'm not shocked if you're buying them to wear.

Lol you say that now.

There's at least ten NMD variants in the cards that I can think of coming after April. 😎

Not to mention all of the UBs, Yeezys and other boosted shoes.

The best part of my day is when I check Neogaf in the morning, hoping the mods locked this thread and erased it so the temptation to buy sneakers was gone :p

There's so much coming out in the next few days that I'd want, but will have to sit things out for at least a few weeks until tax season is over.

If you guys want to cop the black 93/17 (and you should) they don't resell for that much. It's like 40 more than from retail. It's the most unique sneaker Adidas released lately, imo, don't let them go.

And btw, now that I assume the royals will be a L for me, I'm already preparing to grab a pair of Gel Lyte V Cove for the summer on resell. Slowly leaving the L life to the Asics/NB life. Lol

Thumps up for those new Yeezy earth

Man I don't know about the Vapor Max. I want to like them, but there's something about the upper that makes it feel bland and I'm not sold on that cleat like sole until I try it.
 
So, people who have gotten Yeezy's at launch, have you been able to do so without bots or dealing with pre-orders or 3rd party sellers?

I like Yeezy's, but not enough to fuck with anything else beyond going to ADC and attempting to cart. That's my personal general motto with any shoe.

I got the breds from ADC manually. No bots.

Both of mine were bought manually. Black & white pair from ADC and the black & red pair from Yeezy Supply.
