Other than the box and extra laces, this was done with the 35th expressions. I Don't get it.

Sounds perfect, well almost. I think adidas X Benji X BBoylaces X SSDB would be more appropriate.

Any one seen the graphic pack superstars for sale in uk or even eu? The ones with the camo everything including shell. Look pretty dope imo but $90 each plus shipping from US could be pricey.

I reckon that's all that collab is, a DIY job.
Seen it before from idiot stores.

I think you are right P. The jewels are garment print on leather. Probably the same on the laces. The aglets look well iffy. I do like the idea of gift set approach. Maybe shell toe shoe horn?

Going back to the city series, the shell on them is flimsy too. Ruins them for me completely

Shit. I was hoping they would've learnt a lesson from the supercolour flimsy shell fiasco. Quite fancied picking up the Berlins and Shanghais (once they'd hit the sale rack)

Thanks for pointing that out JD.
When I saw the price point I was some what surprised given the apparent premium look of them, i.e. suede.
Don't like this change of direction by adidas.
It's like the Mars bar is shrinking but they're charging the same price.
I appreciate costs go up but so are sales and with volume comes discounts.

The "game" is eating it's self, unfortunately. As a consequence, we subscribe to endless, weak collabs & product or opt out. I'm in the latter camp! I have 50 pairs of Adi & Puma at 41 years old, really don't need anymore shoes.

Yeah, I hear you also P. I'm bitter/jaded because I am so fucking skint. Slightly thankful that what is being released, in the main, has been gash. As such, temptation isn't what it could be.

That. Exactly. Except the Puma bit. Even the same age. Â
Wish I'd hung on to some that I sold though...
