I would never wear those at festivals. Something dark with black sole is much better.

I like these.. on a vin though. I'd definitely buy the off white and make myself a olive one with dye.
But still these are highly customisable by anyone.. which is kind of cool. I'd have pitched it like that too, especially for a festival.

The bluebirds are alright but the rest can go suck a goat.

I've come to realise that quite often it's not the shoe I particularly dislike so much as the way it's being marketed to me. A lot of the time I just don't want to buy into that image or the "lifestyle"  that is being promoted. For me, most of the supes adidas has put out lately has just felt tacky, kitsch and outright aimed at kids, hypebeasts and Jonny-Come-Lately.

^^^ Nail, Head.
How many "hype" releases has there been this year already? We've had the staggered 10th anniversary, Pharrell's shit, Bape x Undftd, lux supes (theres probably been about 5 RUN DMC releases that I've missed!!!) and I'm sure I've missed something. They're out of control at Adi Towers.

Beating out the Superstar cash-cow for all it's worth. There just doesn't seem to be a happy medium for Superstar collectors. You're either stuck in the middle of a shelltoe drought so bad you begin eyeing up some ghastly Noike shit in a bid to satisfy your cravings or you're being bombarded with wave after wave of weak-sauce releases, before heading back to dry season again with an occasional good quality, no-nonsense shoe being offered maybe once or twice a year at best.
