I also got the Mizunos.

How did you get them Danny? I'm curious how many pairs there are/how they were released. I know about the special 50 boxes thing but not total number of pairs
You could only enter the raffle for them. Not sure if I won the special box or not, haven’t arrived yet

Josh - video in the middle of the week, working a lot at the minute

There was also an in store release at the Aberdeen shop, wasn't sure if that's how you'd got them

Mine haven't arrived either

Ah... no, I live in Leeds, just lucky in the raffle... But it means I get a really good shot at the Travis Scott Dunks as our local store does a location based release, so hopefully I can snap up a pair of those too

I am in London this weekend, so I may be able to grab a pair. Looking at the list of retailers - https://www.nikesb.com/the-vault/striped-box-era/t... Slam City looks like my best option.

I received an email from End telling me I got an L on the Jordans at 3am this morning, yeah thanks guys I needed reminding hehe

Slam City will either have people camping all night, or they’ll have some sort of shock drop I reckon

Bugger, and Supreme will probably be the same I guess? Maybe I will just stick to the raffles then.

Most of the collaboration stuff looks like crap.

Iv held off the purchase of the pine green mids. As the highs drop on Saturday. Will fall back on the mids if cant get the highs.

They do seem quite polarising, but different strokes and all that. I didn't get the previous TS Nike stuff, but like the dunks. Although I also have a pair of amber/purple blazers, so my taste is questionable at best!

I'm not going for the highs because the wings logo really grates on me every time I see it. I hope that doesn't become a thing now.

The patch logo works on some things but not on others. The court purple ones dropping in March have the traditional logo.

The mids are cooler, imo - with the white detail and the red Wings logo.

Mine arrived today smile

Each to their own. Some will go against them as an anti hype rebellion type. I know I fall into that camp, but sometimes you’ve got to look past that and see if you like the shoe regardless. For me, it appeals into the SB collecting and being a bit different type. I actually wish they weren’t TS as they’d be easier to get and I’d be getting them regardless

I’ve enjoyed most of the TS releases other than the AF1 lows which I generally don’t get in any form. Horses for courses.

Not too fussed by the dunks tbh.

I think, for me, it just looks like it's trying to be a hype shoe, like its gone meta or something. Could happily level the same criticism of the AF1.

When you consider things like the Wotherspoon 1/97, it was a little quirky but it was a cohesive, consistent, well-themed design. The TS AF1 and Dunk just look a bit cynical, much like the last few Off Whites before the J5.

"What bunch of odd materials and unrelated designs can we mash together for this, Mr Nike?" - Travis Scott, 2020.

Though maybe I'm over-thinking it smile

If it didn’t have the Travis element, and let’s say it was a shop collaboration with the story about work wear in the mid west(???) with the plaid, bandana etc, I’m pretty sure people would think it was a cool concept and execution.

Like I say, the hype almost puts me off, but as someone who gets a lot of dunks, it would be stupid not to grab them (or try to) because of some negative bias - let’s see if I’m lucky wink
