they do seem to be churning them out at an alarming rate at the moment

I know people will always say "vote with your feet, don't buy them if you don't like them" but the real issue with a deluge of offerings is the build/materials quality dip dramatically in a bid to increase the profit-margins.

How is the quality on the footpatrols guys?
What's also weird is the fact that those bape undftds were cheaper than the 10th annis. Why was that.

[Shellshock]

To be fair, the quality of the 10th anni Supes does seem top-notch but they do have a strange, almost overpowering "new shoe" smell! If you're going for the FPs be sure to buy a can of Crep Protect or something similar as they will mark easily. I didn't bother with the Bapes, how much were they at retail?

In my experience it is furniture grade leather that smells funny. Not suggesting these are..
If I'm honest I couldn't pick any of those up as money is so tight these days. But it was only the Neighborhood I found mildly interesting. Even then I would trade two pairs of those for a pair of the Bedwins. I get the sense the quality collabs sneak up on you a little more discreetly than the models from the big hype campaigns. When I look at the Tates I see pure quality; a concentration on getting everything right. That's what I want. Just hope I have the peas if it ever comes back.

Why oh why did i not pick up the Bedwins?????? I cry myself to sleep every night over that one.
I'm in the same boat Ben, i don't think I've been this skint since my early twenties (even sold my 1986 DMCs and CT clydes recently). Kind of glad that nothing, other than the FPs have really interested me of late.
@shellshock, the buanpdeftds retailed at about 90 quid whereas the 10ths were/are 110 around the traps.

think these have been mentioned before?, the berlins look propa tasty.

So there is going to be 45th City Series as well.
Aren't they pretty much same shoes than same color version of Pharrell Williams collection?
Sure I like the CW and little emblems on the heel but seriously, did they really pay the designer for this mind blowing design?

I know it is picky.. but why are most of the foil names halfway down the vamp and the London in the middle? Deliberate? QC?
