    yah they were actually being sold on the normal Microsoft site too. that's not where I got them but, just thought that was cool. I probably would have skipped them but, I got them at a pretty decent discount so I figure I would add them to the collection.

    I have two pairs of the LDWaffles (red/spruce and blue/maroon) but I’m going to probably sell or trade them off. I prefer the waffle one (the one with the see through mesh) to these ldwaffles. I need almost a full size up in these as well compared to the waffle ones.

    I have the black Pattas which have a great shape. The ugly monarchs still have the best shape but I wasn’t having those or the maroons. I love maroon but I dislike the combo of the colorblocking and the color choice on that pair for some reason. I can see how they’re loved though.

    I love the AM90. It's my second favorite Nike silhouette.

    I am going to give a hard recommendation on the delta. The Union Delta is officially the most comfy boi I own. I am still a fivefingers/minimalist shoe for comfort guy, but as for regular kicks, they're really comfy.

    I have the monarchs as well... They are actually my favs. I am not a huge fan of the Maroon ones but that was actually a snkrs win. I dont get many so I take them when i get them! lol

    I considered getting the Union x Delta collab but, just not a huge fan of that silhouette. I hardly ever buy shoes for comfort! lol All the New Balance I have are comfy and if I need something next level I have some Ultraboost and some shoes with React in them (same tech as the Detla).

    I can’t do NB. I’m a dad who works out and shaves his head every day. That’s a dark path.

    I do want the aquas, though. Honestly, I think those are the only ones I actually like from the Wave series.

    I am going to do a purge soon and dump a few things:
    • J13 obsidian
    • 2 Mowabbs (DS) from END
    • the 2 LDWaffles (DS)
    • A couple of AF1s
    • Prob bred toe J1 low (DS)
    • White golf J1 low (DS, ordered for a buddy who didn't realize they don't have spikes)
    • Who knows what else?

    Going to have artist friend who is already working on my first pair do another pair inspired by this silliness:
    [​IMG]

    Probably going to have them make the shoe "whiter" than it should be (normally porcelain is much whiter and brighter than in the photo above) and do the rest in something that integrates both a nice tea time + blue porcelain art and some random AK + 3rd world slum lord jr. "art in drug house" + illicit gun runners vibe.

    Oh shit. Do they take commissions? I have a white pair of Jordan 1 lows that I’d love done in a style like that. I’m all over that design. Gorgeous.

    Let me ask. Or, I could post pictures of my completed shoe first to give you a better idea of the style before you have to commit any funds / shoes / time.

    Ayooo, would love to see what your first pair of shoes look like :)

    Randomly, traded my bacons for these and loving them. UnDSed them inside since it's snowing outside.

    ^ First pair is still being worked on. Should be done in I'm guessing 2-3 weeks. I also ended up going with a canvas shoe on this one as the artist advised me that the "old maps" motif + art style I wanted wasn't going to translate as well on any of the AF1 or similar shoes for various reasons.

    2nd pair inspired by porcelain AK is going to take a while as this particular artist is pretty tied up right now. May have someone else I know do the porcelain shoe instead.

    They're sitting everywhere. I copped a pair despite my spendatorium because I think the heel piece is going to be ridiculous with new designs over time.

    yah, blazers tend to do that for whatever reason... there are many good blazers out there. all it will take is some travis scott level celebrity starts wearing blazers, they will all skyrocket.

    they did sell out on skrs tho - so they at least got that much hype. i been seeing several things sitting in snkrs, lilke lebron 19's, some 97's... and they did end up selling out all the big sizes on undefeated.

    where did you see them at? I am not seeing any big sizes sitting anywhere.
