not to beat a dead horse, but i saw the Pochoir's today at my local Adidas store. meh.
I actually really liked the color, and the 3M; but the phony stripes and the over indulgent name dropping were a little much for me. The blue stamp wasn't THAT hideous, but it didn't help much. That being said, they are on the sale rack now and if they were to drop to something more reasonable i might consider them.

Yeah normal laces and eyestay (didn't know it was called that, cheers Pukka!) would make them pretty sweet. Bit of a waste really.
It was fuckin' obvious that that cunt was gonnae fuck some cunt.

I hope to Christ Mr Law had nothing to do with these monstrosities.

Hmm besides the hideous laces and questionable eyestays, they're fine. Apparently those kind of eyestays are what they're planning to use on many 2010 models, like the new TLs we've seen around recently.

So close, yet so far.
Swap the laces and lose the eyestays and they're the general release of the year.

there isnt any decent exterior branding on it (that I can see) that shows that they're specially made for the allstar weekend
atleast put like an "east" or "west" somewhere visible
and they couldve printed the teams from each conference on the stripes or even done interchangables with team logos on the stripe inserts
or even a damn lace jewel saying "east" or "west"... something gimicy to show what they're for

lol I know the colour representation Z I grew up watching the NBA
my point is they look like a general release and not some nba gimic'd shoe like they've been in the past
