They are actually 8000 and they drop on 20th. I saw them yesterday. Black Campus and camo 8000's. Both very VERY nice!
Have you heard the story behind those 8000's? Babe and UNDFTD sent them back and told quality was not good enough. So adidas melted them and did another full set for all 30 stores around the globe. Once again they said that quality isn't up to par so again back to the melting pot.
So this is the third set and about year later they will finally hit the stores on 20th.

Would have been nice to send them to people that can't afford shoes rather than destroy them. And amusing in a dark way that a entire small village somewhere all have very limited sneaks, if only they had internet connection, they could chuck them on ebay.

Yep. Although I heard that those first revisions weren't bad at all. At least not considerably visibly worse than ones coming out now.

I'm just grateful they are not anything I want, coz those campus look very nice apart from the fact they are campus, Century lo and I'd be in debt.

@PUKKA, Yes, I totally agree, although I did read somewhere this week it costs Nike 1 dollar 20 cent to produce a pair of Jordan's, can't imagine it would be that different for addy. I wonder what happened to the manufacturing line who got it so wrong 3 times....
I imagine the repercussions for them were quite severe, not just oh shit, where are the New bape trainers I want.

That's Nike for Ya, cheap shit, badly designed and poorly produced.
Can someone post the links up for the bapes please?

Are you sure Ez? Those zxs are clearly 5000s not 8000s...not that it matters according to Tif n sk8 etc....agreed the whole pack is meh...the zxs are just too all over the place for me to like...hate the model anyhow...and the campus although clean is simply branded and that's it, nothing otherworldly..and that won't squeeze an extra 300% of my money from my pockets...I do like the green Stan's though, but again a basic pair that's only got some branding on it....
Pukkas got it down...some poor souls in Africa or wherever could've been rocking killer pairs...that would be a sight....

Maybe I was on crack then... Maybe they are 5000's.
