    I do
    I have 1 pair of prescription orthotics from a bout with plantars fascitis.
    Plus I have a couple of green Superfeet.
    Sometimes I remove the factory insole. Sometimes I leave them in. Depends on the pair/style.

    The black coat is on very thick. It’s going to take a while. They should’ve made the under coat thick and the black topcoat thinner. It took a lot to get it off.

    I have no idea but it took a lot of acetone and rubbing to get the black off.

    What a dumb release. A skate shoe that’s meant to bring people into skateshops and spend money in their local shops…..

    released in Costco and bought by mostly resellers. Trash

    It is to create buzz.

    I went into my costco to see if they had them.  Nope.

    I would have bought only to resell also.  I don't want Kirkland  kicks, lol!

    Just a follow up....I had my PF diagnosed within 48 hours and had immediate therapeutic care. Got rid of It in 3 weeks. Though I still had discomfort during my race trainimg and next  triathlon .
    This was 20 years ago. I religiously wear orthotics and have never had a relapse of the PF.

    A buzz for a limited sneaker? Dumb. Have you seen Nikes inventory? Or the stores? A bunch of shit nobody wants on sale. The buzz only benefits resellers. Nobody else.

    C'mon.  You aren't new to this. Yes a buzz.  It gets people interested again.

    Nike has "outlets" for a reason for all that shit.  It's where I go to get my running shoes.  I love me a discount.

    Nobody is interested in sneakers they can’t obtain fairly. Period. It’s not 2020 anymore.  There’s a reason their sales are down big time. Outlets? You don’t even need to hit outlets anymore. At any given time their sneakers are marked down 20-50% on every platform, including their own app. Limiting shit people want while mass producing garbage that nobody cares about isn’t working.

    That has been their MO since I started collecting in 09.  They make mashups and ugly colorways.

    One thing they do differently now is make the retros even more hyped.  I Don't even bother with most of the retro drops anymore either. The "reimagined" thing doesn't do it for me.

    Even the PE's have been terrible the way they don't release them or when they do it's a small amount.

    I do enjoy the Dunks though.  They have been pretty cool.

    When I used to go to HOH the PE's were crazy.  Limited stuff only there and you could actually buy them.  Those days are dead I know...  I still buy what I like.

    I got to thinking more about this.  I don't go to malls anymore for drops.  Haven't in years.

    When I did go to Roosevelt field they had a sneaker shop for reselling in there.  Actually there were 2. One huge corner shop and another smaller shop.

    There only used to be Flight Club, maybe a boutique place that got cool drops here and there for older or rarer kicks but nothing like this.

    I actually need to go into the mall today to return some pants at Levis.  I will take a peak around and see what junk they have, lol!
