I’m the guy in the Blue button-up and slacks…sorry I had to skip the line like that fellas and get my boy a 2nd pair. No offense to my fellow sneaker enthusiasts that traveled to get your pair’s, cuz I know what it’s like to camp out for the kicks that you want. Like I said when it came to go in though, my name was on the list before it was made anyway!

@lmc i agree too it mostly couldve been the hype with the piegon and i have nvr really camped out for longer than a day eithr vagrant lmao to me shoes are judged based on quality colors and if they flow well and if they looked and feel good on my feet people should think for themselves and not be blinded by others thoughs its your feet your opinion and your style

@LMC: I agree with u on all you said. I wouldn’t have camped if it was a limited release because I know I would be able to find it. I originally wasn’t going to camp, only take some photos, but when I saw only 5 people, I said “Why not camp. Let me experience this first hand. ”

Personally, I really like the shoe more now, than I did when they were announced. After finally having them and really looking at the shoe and it’s details, I can’t stop thinking how good this shoe looks overall. Props to Staple.

@Vagrant
.
I’m not doubting New Balance’s quality in terms of materials, I’m a big NB fan and 9/10 there shoes are far better quality than Nike, but if these shoes where a general release or even a somewhat limited release and had no affiliation with Staple or had a pigeon logo on, not one person on the planet would of camped for them and they would definatley hit the sales racks a few weeks after release.
.
Nearly ever shoe NB releases that isn’t released in incredibley small numbers goes on sale, regardless of how good they are in terms of looks or material quality.
.
Tbh these are a fairly nice shoe and something I’d of probabley picked up for abour £20 a few weeks after release (if they where GR release), but there really nothing amazing, Pigeon on them or not.
.
Each to there own though, as long as you like them and arn’t simply blinded by the hype

9 times outta 10 you can’t find somebody who works full time and can STILL camp out for sneakers…I’m one of those who can’t. It’s not that we don’t have the money to get the kicks, but our jobs just don’t allow us to camp out for sneakers that we want. And when we see people have 3 or 4 pair, we automatically assume that you got them to resell. If that’s what you wanna do, then fine…do you. But personally, I can do without the rape prices from you hypebeasts! Some of us ARE real sneakerheads though, don’t get it twisted!
