I think this was the look NIGO was going for recently. But anyone with redwings or similar will know how stiff veg tan leather can be. I like this as a concept but would be very uncomfortable until broken in, by which time they might look like shit. My 2 cents

That hender wotsitsname people actually did a serious Jordan (not sure what number jordan, reckon it was somewhere between 1 and 702) remake that was being sold to order at a shop over here in Melbourne last year 900 of our Aussie dollars iirc.

Adidas are taking the piss with the prices these days.
The top ones are nice enough but 125 bones for them, fuck off!

No, this isn't an official release, from what I can tell, this is just their take on popular silhouettes. Not gonna lie- I think their J's look pretty cool...
Those other ones Lurky posted looked nice, but not £125 nice. What's so special about them?

Looking to get those storm troopers for my little guy for the spring. And what person is spending $1000 for an ugly knock off. Do they have to pay adidas, Nike and whoever else they rip off their designs from to use them?

Wonder if those stormie supes means we're in for more Star Wars/adidas collabs in the near future with the release of Episode VII on the horizon?

You know how ISIS have reportedly been going about smashing up ancient statues and artefacts, basically eradicating years of history and culture? That's what whoever designed that shoe has done to the Superstar; literally destroyed years of it's heritage in one fell swoop (of a pantone marker, not a sledgehammer)
